[edit] Anachronisms

Having had my entry about the historical errors in the film removed by Tony_Sidaway, I have reinstated them with references to the relevant primary sources: a clip from the official site of the movie showing an FX3 taxi, and a link to that taxi's manufacturer's website showing the date of manufacture. I hope this will be sufficient to avoid it being deleted again.Paul Christensen 05:57, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

Having again had this section deleted, this time by Nazamo, I have addressed his concern (see his comment to his edit of 26 March) that this is only notable if notable to a reputable critic by including a citation to an article by one such. This really is a pretty major error for a film like this to make and at least one reputable critic agrees. Paul Christensen (talk) 07:54, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Was also shot in Hong Kong

Two scenes (a conversation in a university hallway, and the evening after) were shot at Hong Kong University. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.218.80.199 (talk) 13:10, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Use Nanjing regime instead

I made those changes to point out that Wang Jingwei's Government was just one of the puppet states that was controlled by the Japanese. And Mr. Yee works for him. Allie Nations during WWII never recognized Wang's government. In fact, several sections of the movie mentioned about the United States trying to ship arms to Chiang Kai-shek's legitimate government in Chongqing. TheAsianGURU (talk) 01:13, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Removal of "Country of origin" under "Controversies"

Is it really necessary for that to be included? Isn't it a subtag for Political status of Taiwan and wanna mix politics with motion pictures? To me, seems like a propaganda section drumming for Taiwan. The movie is funded by a US Company, a Chinese Company & a Taiwanese Company so what's the argument? Furthermore, it's clearly stated in the "infor box" that Taiwan is listed under Country. Besides, it's poorly edited and does not meet wiki standards.

The ref #8 is not working. We should get more ref or that has to be removed. TheAsianGURU (talk) 18:22, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

Neither the sentence nor the reference need to be removed. Please read WP:DEADREF. Facts do not become untrue simply because a web page isn't accessible. David Lodge (talk) 21:39, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

Whether the argument about Taiwan is right or wrong is irrelevant. The point is there has been an argument. Hence its presence in the article. Cop 663 (talk) 22:41, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

I agree that the Taiwan part should be taken out. Seems like some Taiwanese nationalists just want their say. It seems like too small an issue overall to be included. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.48.23.49 (talk) 05:02, 26 February 2008 (UTC)
