Editing Guidelines

Please remember these guidelines when editing a film article:

If a non-film article already exists with the name of the film that you are trying to create an article for, disambiguate and use (film) in the title: Film Title (film)
- For more information see: Wikipedia:Naming conventions (films)
When writing an article about a particular film, the general format should be a concise lead section, followed by a plot summary of no more than 900 words, production details, a cast list, a reception section, and references.
Create an Infobox that tells all pertinent information about the film.

[edit] Part Deleted

I deleted this part for the now:

>>> Soon, one of the crew members discover the ghost of a little girl who was a victim of the sabotage committed by a group of murderers. The murder escapade started with the killing of the guests on the deck of the ship. Their bodies were split open by the wire of the ship, which cut through the guests bodies, slicing them in half. Later, many of them were killed, without their torso's. <<<

Just seemed a little convoluted and didn't really explain the film. Will do a rewrite shortly.

[edit] Remake?

Is this a remake of anything??? 23:11, 2 December 2006 (UTC)~

Don't think so, why do you ask? Kingpin1055 02:31, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Gore

There's one thing I've noticed in this particular movie; with the exception of the dance hall scene, there is very little gore, other than a few isolated spots of blood. And I am sure more can be said about the movie, I just don't know if it should be revealed.--Vercalos 08:07, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] "Death Scene"

This section is written in the tone of a teenager telling their friend a scary story (e.g., "Yes, the wire had cut through over fifty dancers simultaneously and all are dead.") --Closedmouth 04:17, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

I don't know about the original author, but I will try write a synopsis of the plot that's a little more accurate toward the final film. --Kingpin1055

[edit] rename

How about using the (film) naming scheme instead of the case confusion.

[edit] Liner/tugboat

I don't know where this idea's come from, but the crew loading the gold onto the liner that rescued Epps is not her dead crew... that wouldn't make any sense. The crew seen loading the gold onto the modern cruise liner are from the cruise liner... they are not the dead spirits of the Arctic Warrior salvage crew.

If you feel the need to edit, check the DVD before editing the article. Kingpin1055 11:26, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

Why wouldn't it make sense? Prometheus^-X303- 07:26, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

It wouldn't make sense as that isn't how Jack worked people so he could collect their souls. As shown in the film he works alone, using the crew and passengers against each other... playing to their wants and their greed. That and the sheer fact none of the liner crew carrying the gold onto the rescue ship bears more then a very minor similarity to the dead Arctic Warrior crew. One black guy and one blond man does not a dead tugboat crew make. Don't make me get a screen grab. Kingpin1055 12:55, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

Is that a threat? :) I may have to go oldschool and dig out my VHS copy.

You may be right, but Francesca and Santos (I think), both dead, are seen antagonizing. Katie and the captain attempt to help the crew. That plus the resemblance to the crew lead me to think that it WAS them. There is a thread at IMDB [2] that discusses this. Others have made the same mistake.

Hopefully if somebody thinks this article is in error they will look at the talk page first. Prometheus^-X303- 15:38, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

Oh yeah, I won't argue that Jack used the dead people when killing the Arctic Warrior crew off... but I figure he can only use the souls to do his bidding as long as he has them on that ship... as soon as the Antonia Graza went down I figure they were freed along with the passengers and crew. I took the liberty of getting a few screen grabs of the scene (I compiled them side by side in one picture just to save on having to link multiple pics), and while I can see how the mistake occurred, it isn't them:
