The pronouns in the following paragraph make it difficult to understand what's happening (specifically, who said what and who died):
It sounds like Benjamin is warning the technician, saying to the technician, 'you haven't got a chance.' However, then it sounds like Benjamin is answering a comment from the (dying) technician, with the line, 'oh yes I do,' which sounds like it is in response to the technician saying, 'you haven't got a chance'.--Anchoress 07:08, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
There is a paragraph "The other guest (Brolin) shows him (by having him try to shoot him) that the guns cannot fire at anything warm, only "something cold, like a machine." Unfortunately, this is contradicted by an earlier scene in which a human accidently shoots and breaks a mirror." I fail to see a contradiction here - surely a mirror is just as cold as a machine is?
There is nothing about this, but Westworld might also have influenced Total Recall, which is evident by the introductory ads, even if in one robots are used while the later happens in a virtual reality simulation... 66.11.179.30 (talk) 02:25, 4 June 2010 (UTC)
Could this be included in the article? Brynner's appearance in Westworld is noted in former Pavement frontman Stephen Malkmus' song "Jo Jo's Jacket." The song appears on Malkmus' first solo album, Stephen Malkmus (album).
^ Agree with the above. Also, the "...Where nothing can possibly go wrong.. go wrong.. go wrong" quote surely inspired the Simpson's episode with the nearly identical quote and situation.
The setting for the Red Dwarf episode "Meltdown" (Meltdown (Red Dwarf episode)) is very similar too. An amusement park with realistic looking androids, abandoned and the androids "break their programming" and start attacking each other. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 219.90.175.202 (talk) 07:52, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
A remake of Westworld has been in planning for a number of years. Originally, (back in 2003) Arnold Schwarzenegger was to have produced and acted in it, though that's likely no longer true (him being governor and all). Director Tarsem Singh is said to have been chosen to do the film as of January 2006. Perhaps this info should be added to this article. --69.210.125.174 00:07, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
apparently the simpsons episode involving skinner chasing bart when bart ends up at the mayors party features a parody of the film in the chase right down to the music- i dont know the name of the episode but will post the youtube address for the clip- another comment has been made concerinng this and i think itd make sense considering there are two references already there

I tried to trim down the summary, and removed a lot of the thematic interpretations. Konczewski 02:16, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

It is mentioned above that the pistols would not fire at anything warm. I have added this information back into the summary. I remember the film being very vague about the pistols. Is there a novelisation that explains how they were supposed to work, that we could reference in the article? The guns were presumably as close to real-like western six-shooters as possible, but they seemed to have infinite ammo, the virus that affected the robots would surely not affect the pistols, and the Gunslinger's pistol runs out of battery power at one point and becomes useless, which suggests that they were not like western six-shooters at all. -Ashley Pomeroy 18:18, 18 April 2007 (UTC)
I clarified the material about the digital image processing because the earlier version could be construed to mean the images were computer generated rather than digitally processed (pixelized). Furthermore, while there was text here referring to the time it took to test and render the Gunslinger POV, it referred broadly to "on AMC" as opposed to a proper citation. I would only reinstate this if a proper citation can be found.
Although I revised it, I left this in and cited a reference, but it seems out of place under the Production heading, and doesn't appear to fit comfortably under any other topic. I would suggest it's extraneous, except as a minor curiosity.MrNeutronSF (talk) 12:31, 14 November 2009 (UTC)
But mirrored contact lenses worn by Yul Brynner were developed specifically for the movie, and were considered quite the achievement in the special effect industry of the time. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.193.142.207 (talk) 01:09, 31 March 2013 (UTC)
Is the Delos park named after Delos David Harriman? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delos_D._Harriman Bizzybody (talk) 22:58, 6 May 2016 (UTC)

I was surprised to see the plot summary list the year 1983. You can see 1985 on the big check at the start of Futureworld, and there is dialog in that film stating how many years ago the Delos accident was, so I assume that is where it came from. Or was it specifically shown somewhere in Westworld? If not, I'd like to update the description to say something like "unspecified year" and then make a note about Futureworld's date. I'm not sure a fact in one movie should be added based on information that comes from a later project that the original creators had nothing to do with.

– With Westworld (TV series) now firmly lodged in popular culture, it appears that Westworld (film) is not the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. In terms of use, it receives only a minority of page views, despite being at the base name.[1] The page views are affected by recentism, but in terms of long-term significance, the show has already achieved similar levels of popularity and critical acclaim, and has been renewed for a second season. Given that topics related to this franchise are far and away more significant than other uses, I suggest placing a broad-concept article at the base name Westworld, which is a more reader-friendly way of handling things than putting a straight dab page there. This is the solution used for another Michael Crichton franchise, Jurassic Park, and at many others in similar situations such as Battlestar Galactica, Star Wars, Planet of the Apes, and Pirates of the Caribbean.

In the side bar , it is noted that Robert Wagner , Rip Torn , and James Earl Jones are cast members. Yet , nowhere else in the body of the entry are they mentioned. Can anyone confirm their appearing in the film? ( And in what capacity? ). 75.104.162.211 (talk) 00:33, 26 January 2018 (UTC)
Six Million Dollar Man had robots occasionally replacing people beginning with "Day of the Robot" in 1974. Is there any connection to Westworld?--Professor Phantasm (talk) 16:44, 18 June 2018 (UTC)
There are two official websites that tie into the HBO series: Delos Destinations and Discover Westworld. Both sites are set in the Westworld universe, treating Delos and Westworld as real. I'm not sure if this meats wikipedia criteria so I am putting the information here.--174.99.238.22 (talk) 16:52, 11 December 2019 (UTC)
Is there any evidence that the Yul Brynner gunslinger robot was (wholly or in part) an inspiration for the original Terminator in 1984? Even his end - set on fire and then the burned metal bit gets up again with the flesh burned off - seems fairly reminiscent.
I'm not saying it necessarily is - resemblances can sometimes be purely coincidental.Paulturtle (talk) 20:41, 28 December 2020 (UTC)
The Terminator page says that James Cameron was inspired partly by a dream he had (of a metal skeleton emerging from a fire) and partly by old sci-fi movies. Maybe it's a case of both concepts evolving from common shared ancestors.Paulturtle (talk) 20:52, 28 December 2020 (UTC)
