It'd be nice if the first line had a *noun* to tell us what Flight 714 is. moink 06:00, 7 Dec 2003 (UTC)

Yay! Thanks, now I know! moink 18:14, 11 Dec 2003 (UTC)

The discussion of the missing page is something of a spoiler, is it not? I'm going to reorganize this. - mako 12:24, 23 Nov 2004 (UTC)

"Vietnamese Khmer Rouge"

There is no such thing as a "Vietnamese Khmer Rouge". Either "Viet Minh", "Viet Cong", or "Cambodian Khmer Rouge". The atrocious deeds of the latter are not really a trait of the Sondese, are they? -- 203.162.3.77 04:36, 24 May 2005 (UTC)

That whole addition felt funny, so I got rid of it. We'll see if the originator rolls around to provide sources or evidence in defense of his/her assertions. - mako 05:24, 25 May 2005 (UTC)

Yeah. Good that you got rid of it. When I first read it I really had no idea why it was in there in the first place. — GurraJG | Talk 14:23, 25 May 2005 (UTC)

It also doesn't make much sense. Given that this story is set in Indonesia, the Sondonesians are logically based on Indonesian indepence fighters of some sort. They talk in Indonesia and indeed in the Indonesian wikipedia there is some discussion of what exactly Herge meant by the Sondonesians, whether they were intended to be people from Sunda fighting for independence from Indonesia or what. In any case, there is no evidence they are in any way comparable to the Khmer Rouge or in any way inspired by them and I suspect the person who made that post knows very little about Asians of any sort (the fact that he or she referred to Vietnamese Khmer Rouge seems a dead give away).

guns

Does anyone know what kind of machine guns Tintin and the others use on the island?

It's rather unlikely that Herge would have just come up with imaginary weapons, yet they do not look like any guns that I know of.

Tintin's gun looks like a pump-action shotgun. Haddock's gun could be an Owen submachine gun fitted with drum magazine.

Dr. Krollspell found in Cairo, not New Delhi

The story (at least the English edition) says that Dr. Krollspell was found wandering around Cairo from where he was found missing for over a month.

So does the article require correction? --Bigbossman 05:18, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

Explosives and opening mechanism

About the entrance being locked, wasn't it so that Rastapoupolos and his gang just weren't able to find the opening mechanism? I don't think that it was locked (anymore than it was before Tintin accidentally found the mechanism)? 惑乱 分からん * \)/ (\ (< \) (2 /) /)/ * (talk) 15:44, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

Lost Influence

Should we put something about the similarities and the general setup influencing the TV show Lost? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bwanaunsignedhype (talk • contribs) 21:09, 11 July 2009 (UTC)
