Thanks to whoever said:

Over a long night, the jailbait makes big trouble for Shannon, Shannon goes round the bend, the maraca-shakers truss him in a hammock, Hannah ministers to him there with poppy-seed tea and frank spiritual counsel, Maxine despairs over the bond between Shannon and Hannah, lightning flashes above the palm trees, and Grandpa dies.

It's a precise and funny piece of writing. PhGustaf (talk) 21:36, 10 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I was just logging on to say the same thing. Hilarious. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.167.237.191 (talk) 00:52, 8 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The assertion that there are "after-market versions" of the film floating around is unsourced. I'm familiar with the concept of after-market parts for cars, but I don't see what the term means applied to film. I think the writer might have been confused by watching a cut version on some local television station, or a broadcast which mixed up the reels, or showed them in the wrong order (which can happen). In the film itself, Shannon talks about trying to commit suicide and actually does try to "swim to China," but is rescued by the Maraca Boys and then tied up in the hamock. Unless this assertion can be properly sourced, I'm going to delete it within a couple of weeks, especially since other parts of the comments ("endlessly talky scenes") are POV statements that are more appropriate in a review than an encyclopedia article; and to disguise such comments as general assertions about film-making styles of a specific era is really only a version of using weasel words.Theonemacduff (talk) 18:30, 17 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It was apparently added by an anonymous editor. It looks dubious. [1] 惑乱 Wakuran (talk) 18:50, 7 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I deleted the 2 paragraphs in the Legacy section which essentially constituted an argument between the 2 editors. The 1st paragraph said the movie sets were extant and visitable and that a resort was built around them; the 2nd basically said the sets existed but were not visitable. As far as I could determine on the web, the sets, if they still exist, are in ruin and barely visible. Which makes the whole argument about the resort irrelevant.

I did keep the unrelated info about a statute of the director and added a citation. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Joelkfla (talk • contribs) 22:11, 2 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
