I didn't realize[edit]

that John Huston was shot during the filming of this movie. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.101.150.105 (talk) 01:22, 28 March 2007 (UTC).[reply]

Utah[edit]

Can someone tell me the real name of the character Utah? He also played in the film Allan Quatermain and the Lost City of Gold.--94.193.135.142 (talk) 21:35, 27 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The Character name was "Ootah" in "The Man who would be king" and "nasta" in "allan Quatermain and the Lost city of Gold". His real name was Doghmi Larbi 1930-1992 see http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0488015/ — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.83.72.154 (talk) 12:42, 7 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

North Africa/Middle East/Morocco[edit]

The last paragraph of the introduction is somewhat confusing as Morocco is in North Africa and is only ever included in the term "Middle East" in its very broadest sense. Should this be paragraph be changed to reflect that the costumes of the film are "clearly not 'Maghreb' but Central Asian"? Benson85 (talk) 19:35, 20 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It might be worth noting that all the "Indians" in the film, appear to look very Arab and speak in Moroccan Arabic. Billyfish may ask a question in Urdu and the local will inexplicably respond in Arabic. The locals chant the first verse of the Koran (in Arabic of course) when Danny is hailed as King. I guess the director thought that it didn't matter as long as the actors were "darkie" and speaking non-English "gibberish", that would be good enough for the audience. 81.168.123.160 (talk) 15:04, 9 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

He was right. 2601:5C6:4180:3D20:74C0:D4DA:C17A:2239 (talk) 16:22, 18 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The Libertines[edit]

they have a song named "The Man who Would be King" in their self-titled album, from 2004. Should this be put on the main article? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 189.107.98.100 (talk) 06:58, 17 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Goof in movie[edit]

Carnehan referers to himself as a Gunnery Sgt which is a US Rank-the British Army equivalent is Colour sergeant! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.83.72.154 (talk) 02:25, 18 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Shouldn't there be a "Production" section?[edit]

It seems to me that all those words following the "Cast", starting with "Huston had planned to make the film since the 1950s...", would ordinarily in Wikipedia be put in a section called "Production". I would create it, but I don't know how. Is there someone out there (1) who agrees with me, and (2) who knows how, that could do this? 71.204.84.204 (talk) 16:39, 7 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
