Anything else with same title?

Why move this to "I Know What You Did Last Summer (movie)"? Is there anything else called "I Know What You Did Last Summer" that could collide with this name? -- The Anome 20:27 3 Jul 2003 (UTC)

I Know What You Did Last Summer: The Musical? -- Someone else 20:44 3 Jul 2003 (UTC)
It was based on a novel with the same name. Satchfan 01:34, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

Book widely differs from movie

I read the book in high school and I remember when the movie came out, there was an article posted at my school's library on how unhappy the author was with the movie. It was very, very different from the book. Kat, Queen of Typos 23:53, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

Plot needs fixing

I haven't seen the movie so I can't fix it, but the character "Max" is referenced out of nowhere in the second paragraph of the plot synopsis as someone who apparently had direct knowledge of the hit-and-dump; he needs to be properly introduced before then, and if he was present at the beach party, that needs to be made clear.--Marguerite de Navarre (talk) 22:49, 27 September 2009 (UTC)

The plot synopsis for this article seems to be incorrect. I don't believe they phoned an ambulance in the film. They threw the "corpse" into the ocean. Also, some of the character descriptions seem a little clumsy. Satchfan 01:35, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

I was wondering if someone could please add a detailed plot to go with this film. I can't seem to get my hands on this film and would really like to know what happens. Oh, and I would also like a plot to go with I'll Always Know What You Did Last Summer for the same reason. Thank you!!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.17.51.198 (talk) 00:01, 26 July 2008 (UTC)

"Hi, I want somebody to write a detailed plot of this movie for me. I'm too lazy to go to Blockbuster, but I really care what happens in this cheezy horror film from 11 years ago. Use small words so that I can understand. Oh, and while you're at it, could you please write a detailed plot for the straight-to-DVD sequel as well? I don't want to buy it from the 2.99 bin, but I GOTTA know what happens! Again, use small words but explain everything for me, so I don't have to fork out the $5.00 it costs to rent. Thank you so much! Please email me as soon as you do this." <--- That. Complete sarcasm.
Enough of that, why doesn't this page have a plot description at all? It's kind-of strange, because everything on Wikipedia has a plot description. Is it gone for a reason? Or is it just gone? Or was it never here? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.253.8.244 (talk) 02:12, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

'Persons referenced' section

There is a discussion taking place at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Films#References_in_Popular_Culture_Project about such sections, to which you are all invited to contribute. Whereas this may be an appropriate section for a Kevin Williamson film (who is known to reference a lot popcult), a mere reference to only one actor proposes that they have greater significance than they actually do.

Clean-up tag

I think this should be obvious, but I'm supposed to comment on the talk page anyway. I never saw this movie so I cannot assist in its improvement, but I do know that the Plot section neeeds to be broken into logical paragraphs and sounds very unproffessional, the Deaths section isn't really wiki quality and probably doesn't deserve a section - it sounds like something that belongs on a much more informal fan page. The Subseqent Careers section should probably go. It begins like "After the film's release, Prinze and Hewitt emerged as the two most popular young stars in the country" which is clearly not neutral and talks about some of the film's stars. All of them have talk pages, that should be there instead of here. Atropos 05:56, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

Information missing

Where are all the details? I see nothing but the title!!! Epzy

Merge with book

The book currently has a near blank article, and so should be merged with the film. JASpencer (talk) 14:26, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

No it should be enhanced - it is a completely different work (the original) and with a different plot and artistic antecedence. :: Kevinalewis : (Talk Page)/(Desk) 10:06, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
It was blank because you happened on it when it was 20 minutes (and 2 edits) old. There's more there now. The articles should remain separate, and I have removed the merge tags. --ShelfSkewed Talk 15:06, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

Max and comparisons

Two things.

Number 1: Who's Max?

Number 2: That Comparison between the book and the movie is very poorly written. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.134.166.42 (talk) 00:27, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

Number 1: That's Julie's friend who drives up in his truck when the kids are trying to figure out what to do with the body. He is the first victim. Number 2: I agree. I cleaned up that section, but the old editor came back and restored all his own stuff. It was such poor quality, and much of it irrelevant (plus it can't be too long), that I restored it to my own version.Elle (talk) 19:57, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

Cleanup and expansion

This article is poorly written and needs to be trimmed of extraneous material and added useful content. I haven't seen the film (and probably do not plan to), so someone else please do it. Chimeric Glider (talk) 22:29, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

Diffs between movie and novel

Please stop adding to this section. It gets unmanageable and is of little interest to most people.Elle (talk) 15:39, 18 July 2008 (UTC)

IOW: "Stop adding crap."
I totally agree with you, this whole section should be sacked. This page is truly bizarre; you've got 20 lines explaining how "David Egan is actually David Evan" in the book, but there's 0 lines of plot description. There is nothing; not even a blurb. Very odd page, this. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.253.8.244 (talk) 02:17, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

Sarah Michelle Gellar billed first?

Why is she listed first in the cast list? She has a supporting role and Jennifer Love Hewitt is the star. Obviously edited by Gellar fans. 24.184.166.238 (talk) 20:38, 8 May 2009 (UTC)Neel Kaul

Yeah, the same user tried to do that to Scream 2. The JPStalk to me 22:33, 8 May 2009 (UTC)

Article needs rewriting

The plot section contains bad grammar and punctoation, as it contains the use of "&" instead of "and" on many occasions and so on. There are also logical and factological mistakes. Editing the section proves to be a pain, so somebody needs to briefly summarize the plot and rewrite the section or make some serious corrections. Veselin Kanchev (talk) 17:12, 22 April 2010 (UTC)

You're not kidding. I'm slightly baffled by the constant use of "probably" - as if the editor didn't actually watch the film, and is just sort of guessing what happened. I've put a Copyedit tag on it, but I've never seen the movie so I don't think I'm best qualified. The GOCE is about to have a big cleanup campaign in May so hopefully it'll get picked up quickly. Incidentally, Veselin - "factological" isn't a word in English. Though it really should be, because it's very cool... 90.206.77.215 (talk) 21:59, 23 April 2010 (UTC)
Uh, sorry, that was me. Lost cookie. Brickie (talk) 22:00, 23 April 2010 (UTC)

Someone's gone over it and replaced it with original characters like "kiri" and "brittnay". I'm not familiar enough with the story to fix it myself, unfortunately... 24.222.103.179 (talk) 20:41, 14 November 2011 (UTC)

Archived

Moved older discussion to Talk:I Know What You Did Last Summer/Archive 1 A lot of the stuff was people criticizing features of the page that no longer exist. I've left stuff that seems interesting or remains relevant. --140.180.20.85 (talk) 22:29, 26 April 2010 (UTC)
