My additions[edit]

"[edit] Further Note Perdito Durango coincidentially seems to coincide with the real life 1989 Matamoros murders where 30 bodies where dug up by police and found to be ritually sacrificed. One of the victoms was a 21 American student named Mark Kilroy from Santa Fe, New Mexico. Sara Aldrete Villarreal and her Cuban-American boyfriend, Adolfo de Jesus Constanzo, plus four other members of the cult were arrested after gunfights with law enforcement officials."

To anyone who is reading this. My grammer is bad. So be free to correct them.

Perdita Durango appears to coincide with the 1989 Matamoros murders where 30 bodies were dug up by the police and found to be ritually sacrificed. One of the victims was a 21 year old American student named Mark Kilroy from Santa Fe, Texas. Sara Aldrete Villarreal and her Cuban-American boyfriend, Adolfo de Jesus Constanzo, plus four other members of the cult were arrested or killed after gunfights with law enforcement officials

Only one-third of the comment about the movie including "recognizable [in the U.S.] actors like Rosie Perez, James Gandolfini and Javier Bardem" makes sense to me. Perez was reasonably famous at this point in the United States, so that point applies. Perhaps someone seeing the film in 1997 would vaguely recognize Gandolfini from some of his earlier small parts in movies, but he had not yet achieved his big break in "The Sopranos." Bardem hadn't made any English-language films at this point. Gothamscholar (talk) 16:58, 27 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Article title[edit]

Why on earth is this article titled Dance with the Devil? The film's name is Perdita Durango. Surely that should be the name of the article. Euchrid (talk)

You are correct. (Sugar Bear (talk) 00:31, 16 November 2009 (UTC))[reply]

Gifford[edit]

"The character of Perdita Durango appeared previously in David Lynch's movie Wild at Heart..." Well, yes, but this seems an odd way to put it. Barry Gifford wrote the books on which both of these films are based, and Perdita is a moderately important character in the earlier novel and the central character in this one. -- Jmabel | Talk 07:59, 30 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

removing POV tag with no active discussion per Template:POV[edit]

I've removed an old neutrality tag from this page that appears to have no active discussion per the instructions at Template:POV:

This template is not meant to be a permanent resident on any article. Remove this template whenever:

There is consensus on the talkpage or the NPOV Noticeboard that the issue has been resolved
It is not clear what the neutrality issue is, and no satisfactory explanation has been given
In the absence of any discussion, or if the discussion has become dormant.

Since there's no evidence of ongoing discussion, I'm removing the tag for now. If discussion is continuing and I've failed to see it, however, please feel free to restore the template and continue to address the issues. Thanks to everybody working on this one! -- Khazar2 (talk) 00:32, 22 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
