[edit] Strangely enough?

Strangely enough, Petersen went on to star as the lead in Mann's next film, Manhunter (1986).

This sentence really rubs me the wrong way. I don't see what's strange about using an actor from this movie after suing the director. It's an interesting fact though, perhaps it should be moved to Trivia? --Do Not Talk About Feitclub (contributions) 20:29, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Copy edits today

I did some copy edits which fit within Wiki policy: limited quotes, moved trivia section, started references section, cast listed "as", etc. Still, the article needs some serious references. Luigibob 01:45, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

Deleted POV material, added sources, and expanded article" DVD sub-section, ratings, wiki links, etc. We now have an article that does not have to be tagged "no sources" IMHO. Luigi.

[edit] Relevance?

"Parts of the film were shot in known gang Los Angeles territory..." How is this relevant? Wilmington and San Pedro are also "known" gang territory; you could include almost every location in L.A. for that matter. Other than a couple of scenes filmed in those areas, the movie has nothing to do with L.A. street gangs. Suggest merging under a single "filming locations" heading. 310.21834.020

Agreed. Changes made! ♦ Luigibob ♦ ^{"Talk to Luigi!"} 13:50, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Separating the links between the film and soundtrack

Can we change the current "To Live and Die in L.A." film link by adding (film) right next to it? That way, a disambiguation page can be created for both the film and the soundtrack, so in case people want to see the soundtrack but wind up with the movie, they have a choice.
