Similarities[edit]

Is there any reason that the similarities between this episode and Jean-Paul Sartre's No Exit have not been mentioned? It's a fairly obvious point of comparison, and I'd be very surprised if the episode's writer had not read No Exit. It even includes a reference to the characters being in hell. Mrhammersmith

The plot of the movie Cube is pretty similar. Coincidence? --TMC1221 (talk) 08:38, 23 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I've removed the following from the "Trivia" section. I can't make enough sense of it to edit it, and it appears to be at its heart an unsourced statement. If someone knows what the poster was trying to say and has a verifiable source, feel free to replace it after you rewrite it.

"*It is often viewed as rejection of absurdist philosophy. With the characters initialy ignorant to where they are in the world, and seem to be existing without meaning. But in the end they do have a purpose--love."

I deleted this:

It is believed that the movie The Breakfast Club was inspired by this episode. In fact, Anthony Michael Hall's character mentions Twilight Zone and Ally Sheedy's character bears a resemblance to the ballerina after her makeover.

I searched Google for "Five Characters in Search of an Exit" "Breakfast Club", and none of the 15 results were relevant. Travisl 00:55, 1 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Is the listing for the cast correct? I was under the notion that Cesar Romero played the clown...~

The cast list is correct - it is NOT Romero.CaliforniaDave (talk) 03:41, 2 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
