Merge

I merged the article content to a "Planned film" section at Forty-seven Ronin. Per the notability guidelines for future films, articles for films should be created when filming begins, which is not a guarantee in the film industry. (After all, the project was announced in 2008 and still has not begun filming.) If filming begins for this project, we can recreate the article.

This can be used to add credits to the film infobox once filming starts and the article can be recreated. Erik (talk | contribs) 20:06, 10 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Shukan Gendai vs Nikkan Gendai

The former is a weekly tabloid magazine, the latter is an evening tabloid newspaper. Also a quote from film critic Yuuichi Maeda was used without attribution. Japanese RS need more care in translation when in Wikipedia. The Japanese response has generally been overwhelmingly negative, so using the Maeda quote selectively does not illustrate its failure in Japan. Japanese moviegoers are far less conscious of film critics (see [1] for why) so there is a distinct lack of RS in Japanese for this. Jun Kayama 23:39, 17 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Biggest or Second Biggest Box Office Bomb?

The article introduction lists 47 Ronin as the second biggest box office bomb, behind The 13th Warrior; however, the article of the List of box office bombs lists it first. Which one of these is accurate? Apogalacticon (talk) 23:10, 2 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Problem with film length

The infobox states the movie is 127 minutes (2 hours 7 minutes) long, while the version I got on DVD from a video rental place called "Las Vegas" says on the back of the containter it is 119 minutes (1 hour 59 minutes) long. This version is distributed in all of Latin America (except Brazil) by Argentina Video Home (AVH) San Luis S.A. ("S.A." meaning "Sociedad Anónima", somewhat akin to the "Inc." or "Corp." on American companies' names) --Fandelasketchup (talk) 10:59, 13 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

A very good movie

the title role

Starring Keanu Reeves in the title role

All 47 of them? Is that a world record? —Tamfang (talk) 05:27, 7 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

That's exactly what just confused me while reading the article. Google and every dictionary defines "title role" as something like "the part in a play, movie, television show, etc., from which the work's title is taken." Yet in this file Reeve's character's name is Kai. I'm going to edit it to be "main protagonist". Jyg (talk) 00:01, 14 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
