Image:Pecker movie poster.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. 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.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

I removed this trivia section from the Pecker entry. I'm posting the section here in case someone can salvage any relevant items from it and incorporate them into the main article. (Looking at the info, I have my doubts, but I'm trying to be nice here.) Kinkyturnip (talk) 05:18, 1 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This article contains a list of miscellaneous information. Please relocate any relevant information into other sections or articles. (November 2007)

• In the opening scene, the number of the bus is 7734. According to John Waters, this is an old Catholic school joke since '7734' upside-down "spells" hell.
• The claw machine in the bar contains, among other things, a box of Ex-Lax, a box of Gas-X, a liquor bottle filled with a dark brown liquid (bourbon maybe?), and a cell phone.
• Pecker's camera is an early model of the Canonet, a compact camera made over a period of more than a decade (primarily in the 1960s) by Canon for the consumer market.
• When you see people looking through the basement window of Pecker's house, you are actually seeing inside the basement of the house next door. All basement scenes were filmed there.
• The house that was used to film Pecker's house in the movie burned down a couple of years ago. It is now simply a grass lot, being bought out by the neighbors behind the house as an extension to their back yard. Kinkyturnip (talk) 05:18, 1 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

in trying to format the infobox (it was overwiki'd), now there seems to be a problem which i can't fix on the producer line. I cannot undo it. I will get an admin to fix this(or will rewrite the entire infobox) as I'm not seeing why it comes out wrong. Help if you can.Mike P ^talk 19:49, 1 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Pecker is now listed as "R" at IMDB. I saw it first run and recall that it had been rated "G" but the cinema had posted signs stating that even though it was G-rated, it was a John Waters film, and not allowing parents with small children in unless the parents demonstrated John Waters competency in a subjective interview. I believe this is notable story, and deserves a section on the main page, something like "rating controversy." Supposedly, during discussions with the ratings people about how to rate the film, Waters pointed out that films with similar titles had been given G ratings, in particular, "Free Willy," and he then received his desired G rating. 74.62.64.196 (talk) 22:42, 31 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Excuse me...

I am asking this, some years ago. I have heard that Pecker has nearly the same storyline as the classic book Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, Is this true? I did not know such a film existed till a few months ago this year. I have read the film's plot on this article, it is different but everyone is saying the opposite, that it's only Alice in Wonderland with a gender reversal twist in a new way.
