Talk:Moonwalker

Sales

This article claims the video has sold in excess of 30 million copies world-wide. Where was this information sourced from? I understand from various sources that Moonwalker outsold The Making Of Thriller, which would make it the best-selling music video of all-time.

Region 2 DVD

Is the Region 2 DVD a HMV exclusive at the moment? As I bought the DVD from HMV about a year ago, but checking on amazon.co.uk it gives a release date of June 19, 2006. JP Godfrey (Talk to me) 09:31, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Moonwalkermj.jpg

In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Dance magic

Would someone please verify the musical clips used in MJ's "Moonwalker" Arcade version when Dance Magic is activated? 15:36, 2 April 2008 (UTC) White Mage Cid

the moonwalk (dance)

"The name of the dance move was dubbed by the media, not by Jackson himself; however he did choose the title of the film himself."

The backsliding dance move called the moonwalk predates Jackson by quite a bit, see moonwalk, and I personally recall some popularity of the move in NYC dance clubs late70s/early 80s, though I can't document this. At any rate, the media did not name the dance move (and there is no citation to indicate that they did); it was known by this name before Jackson or the media ever picked up on it. 71.48.42.145 (talk) 22:41, 3 June 2009 (UTC)

Nostalgia Critic

I removed the part that mentions the Nostalgia Critic because he's not a reliable reviewer. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.8.51.226 (talk) 11:48, 11 April 2010 (UTC)

Success

The budget of the film was 60 million dollars, but what was the Gross revenue? Was it more than the budget? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.123.48.145 (talk) 22:16, 25 March 2011 (UTC)
