[edit] 24 and Space Cowboys

After watching this film recently, I noticed that at least three members of the cast for this film have starred in 24:

Rade Šerbedžija as General Vostow in Space Cowboys, and as Dmitri Gredenko in 24 series 6.

James Cromwell as Bob Gerson in Space Cowboys, and as Phillip Bauer in 24 series 6.

William Devane as Eugene 'Gene' Davis in Space Cowboys, and as James Heller in 24 series 4, 5, and 6

Also, oddly enough, the father of Kiefer Sutherland (who plays the main character, Jack Bauer, throughout 24), Donald Sutherland, has a role in Space Cowboys as Captain Jerry O'Neill.

Perhaps this is worth mentioning in the Trivia section?

[edit] Reception?

Anyone know about the 'Reception' of this film? soldierx40k 03:57, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Heinlein Allusion?

Does anyone have a noteworthy source for an allusion to Robert Heinlein’s story “Requiem”? The plot similarity is noted at [1]; the final shot bears a striking resemblance to the original illustration, Astounding, January 1940, p. 81. —FlashSheridan (talk) 08:36, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Cowboys 041000 800.jpg

Image:Cowboys 041000 800.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
