Rock Song

Does anyone remember the rock song that was played in the first Critters movie and or who performed it. The song was playing when the two bounty hunters aboard the ship take on human form. It was a really cool sequence that stayed in my head til today. I haven't seen the movie in years, though. I'll probably rent it for kicks this weekend. HOLLA --Scott Free 21:58, 29 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The song was "Power of the Night". It was written by Terrence Mann who plays Johnny Steele, the fictional singer in the film who sings the song. The song was featured on cassette copies of the soundtrack. I don't much about it beyond that. --Bacteria 06:41, 30 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Critters poster 2.jpg

Image:Critters poster 2.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.

From Talk:Crite: Merge to the series article?

I'm not convinced that the Crite creature is notable outside of the context of the series itself, so I'm considering proposing that this article be merged with the full series article. There are other fairly serious issues with this article (most of which fall under WP:OR), but I think a merge at least helps several of these issues. ɠǀɳ̩ςεΝɡbomb 07:16, 14 May 2010 (UTC) [reply]

I concur that merging this article with the main series would actually probably be a good idea. As for verifiability, would citing videos, blogs, and IMDb posts cover that, or would I need to cite more "official" sources such as New Lines Cinema's website itself or something? —Preceding unsigned comment added by KamikazePyro13 (talkcontribs) 20:10, 14 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
If you go ahead with the merge (and glad to hear you agree), all of the above would suffice for sourcing, as far as I'm concerned. Good stuff! ɠǀɳ̩ςεΝɡbomb 20:07, 15 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I don't know how to do the merge is the only problem facing this article now I think, since I've added a few sources for the claims in the article, which I hope are satisfactory enough.KamikazePyro13 (talk) 23:52, 16 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
As both articles already need a lot of work, I performed a basic cut-and-paste merger. ▫ JohnnyMrNinja 18:38, 10 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move

Critters (film series)Critters – The film series appears to be the primary topic for the name, as pointed out by others. Paradoctor (talk) 21:51, 30 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • Oppose the move, but would support retargeting Critters to the disambiguation page, Critter. There are more meanings of "critters" than the film and the comic book (both of which are notable franchises), including as a plural of most things individually called a "critter". bd2412 T 22:32, 30 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
