What's the professional position of John Shaughnessy (played by John Mahoney)? I'm confused because it has never been directly mentioned in the movie. I googled and found some answer says he's State Attorney and some says he's Chicago Mayor[1]. But he shouldn't be the State Attorney because Martin Vail (Richard Gere) said in the court that Shaughnessy used to be State's Attorney but not "currently". Besides, the current State Attorney in the movie is supposed to be Bud Yancy (Terry O'Quinn). The Mayor seems a reasonable answer but needs to be confirmed. So would somebody find some source to confirm it if this unimportant question doesn't bore you. --Mato Rei 14:09, 21 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Why isn't there a default section, when in regards to movies, for sound tracks? This movie had some excellent, although quiet, music. Some of it reminded me of the Vangelis in Blade Runner. Was it Terrence Blanchard? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Brewmaj (talk • contribs) 03:42, 13 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The bottom of the article includes a citation to a write-up by a psychologist that claims father-son incest was evident in the movie. However, not only is such a thing not actually existent in the movie, but the write-up linked never actually cites any example. It only says the following: "Childhood abuse by the young man's father is hinted at as a cause for the fugue states but is not specifically described in the movie." If there's no specific description of the kind of abuse, on what basis is it sexual? The violent personality seems to be a more evident implication of physical, not sexual, abuse. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.91.239.10 (talk) 14:31, 1 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

An attempt was made to create a character page for Aaron Stampler. While his character appears in the book trilogy, his page consisted mostly of the plot from the film. Should anyone attempt a future article again, I suggest working a sandbox version first. — Wyliepedia 23:24, 30 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Shouldn't there be a mention of Deewangee in this article? --2001:4DD0:2192:0:7DC9:6591:6205:EC5E (talk) 19:12, 13 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
