What does Rod contemplate in the forest? Suicide? Buying a new car? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.56.85.81 (talk) 23:22, 21 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The money it grossed on retals is overly stated. It says that made 422 million. That's didn't happen. Or it needs a citation —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.62.231.204 (talk) 22:09, 8 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The Quotes section seems a bit unorthodox for a Wikipedia article. Looks to me like a bunch of Hot Rod fans just wrote down some of their favorites. I've never seen a quote section designed like this... -tbone (talk) 16:03, 9 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Metacritic says reviews were "mixed or average" that's a direct quote. Yet somehow this article said it had "generally mixed reviews" which is not a phrase that Metacritic uses (and as far I recall has never used). There was even a quote in the wiki source claiming that this misquote is "CITED TERMINOLOGY, DO NOT CHANGE!" and from a brief look at the history of this article it seems to have been this way for years. I'm going to correct the text so that it does not misquote Metacritic. -- 109.78.201.233 (talk) 11:49, 2 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I traced both the warning and the misquote back to 2014 and a single large edit that extensively rewrote the article.[1] Someone that actually liked this film might want to check that edit didn't introduce other more subtle mistakes. BTW, if you check using the Web Archive you can see that "generally mixed" was definitely not a wording that Metacritic used in 2014 it was "mixed or average"[2] then too, and it was "mixed or average" in 2010.[3] -- 109.78.201.233 (talk) 11:59, 2 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
