[edit] Sora Takenouchi

Who the heck is Sora Takenouchi?

Sora Takenouchi sounds like some sort of animated Japanese cartoon character. Is this for real, or vandalism? --BlueCanoe 19:31, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

It looks like the Takenouchi reference has been in the article since the Aug 12 2005 edit by Kayaker. Maybe they can explain? --BlueCanoe 19:40, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

Hmmm, good question. Everything I know about the film was in the references I added when I did that update. I just looked at the references again, and I cannot find any mention of Sora Takenouchi anywhere. I can see from the history that this little tidbit came from my edit, so all I can do is scratch my head and apologize. I will remove it right now. Kayaker 05:36, 19 December 2005 (UTC).

[edit] Box office

"The film had a successful limited release in the States and grossed $20,252,121."
What was the cost to make the film? Where else in the world was it released, and what was the gross? 69.87.203.130 20:14, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Spoilers

Is it really necessary to have that spoiler in the article? It's such a short spoiler section that one can't digest the "Spoiler warning" before they've read the text - either some plot details should be added (which I can't do as I haven't seen the film) or the pointlessly tiny spoiler should be removed, imo.

Agreed. I don't know why that would have been put there. Morbid fascination, I suppose. Doctor Sunshine talk 05:25, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Ending

So I'm kind of curious about the ending... was it that she had come back to claim another life, or was it just that she thought of them, as she said, as best friends whom she could not join and was just wistfully observing them? --Gwern (contribs) 04:30 27 October 2007 (GMT)

I believe she came back pretty much to kill all four of them off (really). It was part of the movie's theme of them being on their "last show". All Hallow's Wraith (talk) 06:06, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Filming

The entry currently says that filming ended a day before it began (by the dates given). Obviously, this needs to be fixed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.65.165.102 (talk) 01:47, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

Not obvious to me. I see here that it started 6/29/05 and ended 7/28/05. Different month. --Art Smart (talk) 05:20, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
