[edit] Existentialist Transformation

Article states: "Blank finally opens the envelope containing his orders for the job that he's been sent on and finds that he has been sent to the town to kill Debi's father. Blank then experiences an existentialist transformation when he has to decide between his career or his love for Debi." From my viewing of the film, the "existentialist transformation" occurs during the dance, after meeting a former classmate and her adorable toddler. His reaction to opening the envelope, "dumb f**king luck," to me indicates he knew at that moment the assignment was the key to winning Debi back, by saving the life of her father. --Davecampbell 22:56, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Missing music from the Soundtrack section

"White Lines" from Grandmaster Flash is missing (ironically played a few minutes after Martin is offered coke during the dance.) This may not have appeared on the official soundtrack for I will be adding it with a note that it was not included on the soundtrack until i can see the movie again in a few days to pick up other songs i may have missed and had a chance to review the soundtrack listing and compare the two, or until someone else comes along and fixes it.VXbinaca 02:55, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Activism in the 80s

Some reference in the article to the various references to '80s-era activism and values shared by Martin and Debi (Martin's refusal to participate in a Rainbow Warrior-style attack, the poster on Debi's wall for a protest at Seabrook (see Clamshell Alliance#Popular Culture), etc.), and the resulting mutual dislike between Martin and Debi's father, might be in order. --Davecampbell 22:56, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] "Most realistic fight scene"

Unless someone can come up with a convincing citation for that line, I'm going to remove it soon. I fail to see how a guy using a jumping kick to knock an assassin's gun out of his hand, engaging him in a fight scene featuring leaping and spinning kicks, and finally killing him with a pen is realistic.

[edit] LaPuBelle

Can someone check the credits for the spelling of the "Basque whacker"'s name? IMDb has LaPuBelle, which does not make sense in any language with which I'm acquainted, i.e. none uses Pu as a particle in names. I heard it as La Poubelle meaning the trashcan, which at least is funny. —Tamfang 05:35, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
