To me some elements of the story appear to be picked up in Tarantino's "Pulp Fiction": The two eloquent Killers (Vincent Vega/Jules Winnfield) seeking to kill a boxer (Butch Coolidge). The Pulp Fiction articles doesn't say anything about that though. --82.83.129.144 14:18, 16 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I read that the band "The Killer's" were named after a fictional band from a music video. And the Wiki-article "confirms" this: "a name which comes from the bass drum of a band in a New Order video for their song "Crystal"." The_Killers_(band) --82.83.129.144 14:26, 16 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This article needs cleaning up by someone trained in literary analysis. The section entitled "Errors within the story" is fairly incoherent.

I agree. Most of those "errors" aren't errors at all. The entire section needs to be deleted or reconfigured under a different heading. --Kbrewer36 (talk) 20:59, 18 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This was not Hemingway's first published short story. His entire collection, "In Our Time," was published in 1925. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cyberwilliams (talk • contribs) 01:16, 17 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The story first appeared to the public in 4008??? Tgcnow (talk) 02:57, 5 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
