Horse[edit]

Wait a minute, the horse was promiscuous too? M.Neko

For a moment, I got this confused with the (so far unpresented) musical version of Silence of the Lambs. It's not that though. Two halves 05:02, 15 Mar 2004 (UTC)

What the, otherwise very comprehensive, article fails to mention is that Cannibal! is the sweetest film ever made. Ever. The film is shown fairly regularly on UK terrestrial TV so I would imagine that a decent number of people have seen it these days. Certainly everyone I know gets made to watch it.

The Indian Chief[edit]

Does anyone know the name of the actor who plays the Indian Chief? He's also a relatively important actor in Orgazmo, so that might make an important trivia point.

imdb names him as Masao Maki. He also played G-Fresh in Orgazmo. Hoof Hearted 17:50, 17 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Song Lyrics[edit]

Although I can't find a Wikipedia policy page addressing it, I thought lyrics were not allowed to be posted in articles. I'll leave it for now, but if anyone else knows of the official stance, please respond below. Hoof Hearted 19:58, 30 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I see the lyrics have already been properly removed, but for future reference here are some policy links: Wikipedia:Lyrics and poetry and Wikipedia:WikiProject Music/MUSTARD/Lyrics. --Satori Son 17:58, 13 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The Plot section should include the songs' titles. WilliamSommerwerck (talk) 12:16, 5 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Alferd or Alfred[edit]

The article refers to the character as both 'Alferd' and 'Alfred' - which is the correct spelling? 207.69.137.27 02:55, 31 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

They have the same problem on the Alferd Packer page because he apparently went by both names. Even the credits for this film on imdb list him as "Alfred G. 'Alferd' Packer". It could be argued that both are "correct", but I think it would be best to be consistent throughout the article. I changed the first Alfred in the plot summary, but I wasn't sure about the last one in the trivia section. Does anyone at CU know if the restaurant is really called "Alfred" or "Alferd"? Hoof Hearted 12:24, 31 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Found it. Poor guy, had to change his name because it got misspelled in a tattoo on his arm! -- Hoof Hearted 17:57, 31 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Again, it really doesn't matter because it appears either spelling is correct, but I suggest we keep it 'Alfred', since the alternate spelling is used in the wikilink The Legend of Alfred Packer. The anonymous edit broke that link. Hoof Hearted (talk) 14:06, 6 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Trivia[edit]

The trivia section states that, "Also, when the judge declares that Packer will be 'hung by the neck till you're dead, dead, dead!' is a line taken directly from another episode of Star Trek named 'The Squire of Gothos'." While the line appeared in that episode, it was not taken from it. It is part of the court record, as were all of the judge's lines. Should this be removed or just edited? KomradeDave 05:43, 23 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Based on the trivia section at The Squire of Gothos, I assume you're saying that it could be argued that Star Trek took it from judge Isaac Parker, and therefore we should site it's original source. My opinion, given that judge Parker never uttered those words when giving a death sentence, plus the numerous Star Trek references in Trey & Matt's work, is that the statement should remain as is. If I've misinterpretted your argument or you feel otherwise, I suggest you be bold and improve the article to what you think fits. Hoof Hearted 20:16, 1 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Song title[edit]

I have changed "Ode to Liane" to "When I was on Top of You" throughout. On my DVD that is the title on both menu options and the end credits, and far better suits the humor of the film anyway. I'm not sure where "Ode" could have been taken from. There are other versions of the DVD (mine is Screenedge) but it seems unlikely the song title would be different on another DVD. If it is, maybe both titles could be given in the article.--Shantavira|^{feed me} 09:56, 29 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Shantavira: it appears that the stage production (or perhaps specific stage productions) may have renamed this song "Ode to Liane",[1] but I'm having trouble finding a reliable source. Hoof Hearted (talk) 18:16, 11 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
