Why move this to "I Know What You Did Last Summer (movie)"? Is there anything else called "I Know What You Did Last Summer" that could collide with this name? -- The Anome 20:27 3 Jul 2003 (UTC)

I Know What You Did Last Summer: The Musical? -- Someone else 20:44 3 Jul 2003 (UTC)

It was based on a novel with the same name. Satchfan 01:34, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Book widely differs from movie

I read the book in high school and I remember when the movie came out, there was an article posted at my school's library on how unhappy the author was with the movie. It was very, very different from the book. Kat, Queen of Typos 23:53, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Plot Needs Fixing

The plot synopsis for this article seems to be incorrect. I don't believe they phoned an ambulance in the film. They threw the "corpse" into the ocean. Also, some of the character descriptions seem a little clumsy. Satchfan 01:35, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 'Persons referenced' section

There is a discussion taking place at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Films#References_in_Popular_Culture_Project about such sections, to which you are all invited to contribute. Whereas this may be an appropriate section for a Kevin Williamson film (who is known to reference a lot popcult), a mere reference to only one actor proposes that they have greater significance than they actually do.

[edit] Clean-up Tag

I think this should be obvious, but I'm supposed to comment on the talk page anyway. I never saw this movie so I cannot assist in its improvement, but I do know that the Plot section neeeds to be broken into logical paragraphs and sounds very unproffessional, the Deaths section isn't really wiki quality and probably doesn't deserve a section - it sounds like something that belongs on a much more informal fan page. The Subseqent Careers section should probably go. It begins like "After the film's release, Prinze and Hewitt emerged as the two most popular young stars in the country" which is clearly not neutral and talks about some of the film's stars. All of them have talk pages, that should be there instead of here. Atropos 05:56, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Information missing

Where are all the details? I see nothing but the title!!! Epzy

[edit] Merge with book

The book currently has a near blank article, and so should be merged with the film. JASpencer (talk) 14:26, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

No it should be enhanced - it is a completely different work (the original) and with a different plot and artistic antecedence. :: Kevinalewis : ^{(Talk Page)}/_(Desk) 10:06, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

It was blank because you happened on it when it was 20 minutes (and 2 edits) old. There's more there now. The articles should remain separate, and I have removed the merge tags. --ShelfSkewed Talk 15:06, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Max and Comparisons

Two things.

Number 1: Who's Max?

Number 2: That Comparison between the book and the movie is very poorly written. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.134.166.42 (talk) 00:27, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

Number 1: That's Julie's friend who drives up in his truck when the kids are trying to figure out what to do with the body. He is the first victim. Number 2: I agree. I cleaned up that section, but the old editor came back and restored all his own stuff. It was such poor quality, and much of it irrelevant (plus it can't be too long), that I restored it to my own version.Elle (talk) 19:57, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Cleanup and expansion

This article is poorly written and needs to be trimmed of extraneous material and added useful content. I haven't seen the film (and probably do not plan to), so someone else please do it. Chimeric Glider (talk) 22:29, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
