Editing Guidelines

Please remember these guidelines when editing a film article:

If a non-film article already exists with the name of the film that you are trying to create an article for, disambiguate and use (film) in the title: Film Title (film)
- For more information see: Wikipedia:Naming conventions (films)
When writing an article about a particular film, the general format should be a concise lead section, followed by a plot summary of no more than 900 words, production details, a cast list, a reception section, and references.
Create an Infobox that tells all pertinent information about the film.

Stub to Start-Class Upgrading Instructions for Films

Note that instructions for articles on other types of film topics within the scope of WikiProject Films are currently under development.

To contribute in upgrading this stub article to Start class, the following requirements must be met:

Significant intro (list the title, alternate titles, year released, director, actors starring in the film, summary of headings, etc.)
Film infobox ({{infobox film}})
Picture: Consult WikiProject Free Images for freely released images from a film shoot, opening, or other relevant free image. Non-free and unlicensed images are to be avoided if at all possible, but if used should include a detailed fair use rationale. (An image is not required for start class if unavailable.)
Plot summary
Include cast and crew information.
At least two other developed sections of information (production, reception (including box office figures), awards and honors, themes, differences from novel or TV show, soundtrack, sequels, DVD release, etc.)
Categories (by year, country, language, and genre(s))

Helpful links: WP:BETTER, WP:LEAD, WP:REF, WP:WAF

Once this article has fulfilled these requirements, the film can be reassessed to Start class and this template will be removed automatically.

In regards to the "tripod" bit, it happens during the scene where Austin Powers' father is talking to him in the prison cell. It's in a list of other jokes about the presumed penile length of mini-me. I seem to recall also the "like a baby's arm holding an apple" bit, which contrasted humorously with the shadow play bit where Mini-me grabbed an apple and tossed it up to Powers' mouth. It may be more accurate or at least more citable if we simply indicate that it is hinted at (rather extensively) that he has an enormous penis. -Fuzzy 21:49, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

I thought the tripod thing meant he had three balls like Dr. Evil66.176.172.119 19:04, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

Should this be included in the bio?: The Midget Count - Played by Guy Big, this is a three-foot tall clone of The Count (and possibly the inspiration for Mini-Me in the Austin Powers movies, given that Mike Myers grew up in Southern Ontario.) from The Hilarious House of Frightenstein.

[edit] Naming?

Shouldn't he be called "Mini-Dr. Evil"? - R.G. 05:31, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] References

The article general lacks references, but particularly the section on "Inspiration" - it sounds like a wonderful paragraph of unbased speculation. Please add references, it'd be unfortunate if the section would have to be deleted. Thanks, Ibn Battuta (talk) 00:57, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
