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. Article upgrading needed: You can help! WP:IA   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.

[edit] Romper Room

Is there any link between the Romper Room line and the film's title? Sounds like coincidence to me. Shall we remove it? Cnwb 10:49, 27 November 2005 (UTC)

It's novel trivia at the most, certainly not worthy of a See Also. mordemur 13:01, 28 November 2005 (UTC)

I've removed it, as it didn't seem to have any bearing on the article. Cnwb 22:58, 28 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Vietnamese-Australian stars from Romper Stomper

Did Romper Stomper prove to be a breakout for the Vietnamese-Australian stars of Romper Stomper? Or did the producers not give a stuff about them once they were captured on celluloid?

I'm not clear what you mean. Presumably the producers of the film hired the actors to play the roles they had, then the actors were released once they'd finished their work. It was a low budget film, they may have been paid very little, but I don't think that anyone becomes rich by playing small parts. Good luck to them wherever they are.

[edit] Censorship bias

When Romper Stomper was released in the UK, there were objections that the film could generate support for the extreme right. This does not tally with the general condemnation put forth by the page.

[edit] Plot summary

I've removed the excessively long plot summary and restored an earlier short version, which could of course do with a bit of fleshing out. [ [1]. --Tony Sidaway 22:32, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

Well it sucks; the movie is not just about a love triangle... --Steinfeld7 (talk) 15:17, 16 March 2008 (UTC)
