Rumor

In the film release, rumors spread about an extra in the final scene who noticed that his fly was open when he started to celebrate. He quickly zipped his fly back up. The rumors turned out to be true, and the shot even remains in the DVD, starting at 1:28:48. The "actor" in question is in the top left of the screen, wearing a red sweater and jeans.

This was mentioned on a show I caught the other day when I was in the gym, HOWEVER when discussing this , the movie crew (including the producer) stated that the extra actually did this on purpose. However I don't have a source - anyone know what i'm on about and have a quote. --Charlesknight 21:15, 24 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'm looking at the clip on YouTube right now. And I think that may have been a woman in that shot. If you look closely, the "person in question" appears to be holding a purse with his/her jacket.Mustang6172 05:11, 17 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I have removed:

At the end of the movie after Michael J Fox makes the winning free throw and everyone stands up in the crowd next to his father and girlfriend when the stand to cheer is a MAN or woman with his or her pants unzipped, genitals exposed, he or she quickly zips up.

... as it's cruft, at least in this form. Maikel (talk) 21:23, 11 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

What if someone edits it to just make a mention of reference in "Family Guy: Something, Something, Something Dark Side" special, would that be acceptable? 99.6.143.133 (talk) 02:52, 25 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I doubt anyone would hold up Family Guy as an example of a reliable source. Doniago (talk) 04:35, 25 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Family Guy is a cultural reference that goes to show the incident is notable, in the same way that if enough people believe even a false urban legend it then becomes worth mentioning and dispelling in an encyclopedia article. It was added to the article but wasn't particularly well presented (tone wasn't great and an episode citation would be better) or framed against the background of the supposed exposure, and was removed.

Could just as easily be someone poking their finger out of their trousers and pretending it was a penis, as schoolboys have been known to do. -- Horkana (talk) 02:04, 8 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Actually it's a woman, not a man. Watch the open matte version, you can see her face. --WTF (talk) 23:19, 2 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Well a similar urban legend is on the Three Men and a Baby page, the only difference there is that the story was notable enough to be mentioned on Snopes. ^[1] Simgrant (talk) 05:26, 5 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Pubertic parallels

…should someone write in something about the parallels with puberty? (hairy in places, undergoing changes,acting different etc.)

Entertainment Weekly describes Teen Wolf as "Teen Wolf is the Citizen Kane of lycanthropic puberty flicks" which I think is a funny bit of hyperbole but if you want to write about it that's one source to support your point about it being about puberty. I'm sure you can google for more especially since there is a lot of talk about the proposed sequels at the moment. You might even be able to find old academic papers if you have access to that sort of thing in a university that allows you to search old periodicals. (I'm still disappointed how savagely this article has been cut down to size compared to what it used to be even though no one actually disputed the trivia items, they just weren't well sourced.) -- Horkana (talk) 16:25, 9 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Should there be a mention that the current MTV series was inspired by this? Edit: sorry, I missed the blurb about it.

article intro under obvious insanity

"based on true events of a teenage boy who turned into a werewolf"

... so, yeah, removed that from the article...50.136.184.240 (talk) 12:34, 9 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Teen Wolf → Teen Wolf (film)
Teen Wolf (disambiguation) → Teen Wolf

– Teen Wolf could just as easily refer to the 1986 animated series or the 2011 live-action series. Charles Essie (talk) 18:07, 26 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Support no primary. In ictu oculi (talk) 23:02, 26 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. This is the original and most famous Teen Wolf. The existence of related items with the same name doesn't mean there can't be a primary topic. Calidum ^{Talk To Me} 05:32, 27 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Rename the film instead replace with a franchise article. (create a franchise article) -- 65.94.171.126 (talk) 05:47, 27 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Agree, there should be a franchise article. Charles Essie (talk) 11:06, 27 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- I also agree with that. — Status (talk · contribs) 22:20, 27 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. There is no franchise article (and I'm not even sure this is a franchise) and the blockbuster 1985 film is the primary topic. — AjaxSmack 14:52, 28 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

What are you talking about? A sequel and two tv shows (with one of them being very successful) is a franchise! Charles Essie (talk) 00:57, 1 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
