[edit] original research
Isn't this entire article original research?
- Parts of it appear to be pure speculation. The only concrete facts it is going on are the name and the fact that the main character of Soldier was a veteran of it.
[edit] Origin
I've got a question concerning the origin of the term. The article says that Rutger Hauer used it in the monologue he wrote. I don't think that's true. A different monologue (including the "Tannhauser Gate" reference) already existed in a pre-shooting script from 1981. [1]
AFAIK, Rutger Hauer just changed parts of it and added things (like the famous rain/tears-part). Can some please verify the information given in the article?
[edit] C3+ beams?
This article redirects from "C-beam(s)", which are a subject on their own. And not one that is entirely devoid of interesting speculation. Rutger Hauer could have been referring to a laser weapon. This is not a shot in the dark: some of the lasers with highest power output today are the Carbon oxide lasers; perhaps the technology of the weapons used at the Gate is Carbon-based. As for the abbreviation, there's already a particular type of carbon-ion laser with medical applications known as C3+ beam. --CubOfJudahsLion 02:36, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Tannhauser Gate Image
This image can be found within the Theatrical Trailer located in the special features section of the Soldier DVD.
This is not an image of Tannhauser Gate. The supplementing voiceover suggests that this is a rendering of a "genetic profile." This can be located between [00:00:45] and [00:00:48] of the trailer.
Suggesting possible removal or replacement of this image with a more appropriate candidate.
