Army of Darkness[edit]

This film is a much beloved cult film and I've put a lot of work updating the Production and Reception sections with content and citations and tried to remove unsourced sections but I would like any more suggestions, comments or contributions to help upgrade this film to GA status.--J.D.

Some initial thoughts:

  • The lead sentence is overly occupied with the alternative titles the film has had, and I think that it could be relegated later in the lead section, perhaps in relation to its release.
  • The Plot section should lead with mentioning the first two films before delving into how their content relates to the third films. (Also, "discovered" should be "discovers", considering that they're all fictional works.)
  • I think that the Production section and its subsections could have more introductory sentences. For example, starting with, "Plans to make a third Evil Dead film had been circulating for a number of years..." deprives the reader of the context of previous films. I think it's important to have these sections be as stand-alone as possible, so there are no assumptions to what the readers know.
  • It may be worth combining the subsections in "Reception" since "Box office performance" and "Awards" are sparse. Also, is there a plan to add more reviews?
  • Quotations need to be fixed per WP:PUNC; follow the examples at the link.
  • "Awards" details could use citations.
  • "Director's Cut" could also use citations identifying the different versions on DVD (using {{cite video}}, perhaps). Some language, like "...it is actually the International Cut of the film..." seems a little too casual.
  • In "Comics", do we need to list all these adaptations when there's a separate article covering all of them?
  • There is no information about this film being known as a cult film. Such knowledge may not be obvious to all readers, and it should be supported in this article.

These are just the recommended broad strokes for the article. There may be some copy-editing needed. I can help with that if you wish, and also possibly see about other available references. —Erik (talk • contrib) - 16:27, 27 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for all of these suggestion! I will go through them all soon. And, by all means, any way you can contribute would be greatly appreciated.--J.D. (talk) 01:18, 28 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]


Is there a reason that there is no "cast section"? FWiW Bzuk (talk) 15:27, 7 August 2008 (UTC).[reply]
