Citing "(also, Allstar or All Star)?" What?[edit]

SMcCandlish, how is "All-star (also, Allstar or All Star)" a "[q]uestionable assertion?" I don't understand. --Cat Lover 18:41, 13 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Kingdom Hearts[edit]

Another example of an all star cast is in the videogame series Kingdom Hearts, where many stars provide the voices of characters. Some stars such as Hayden Panettiere, Christopher Lee, Haley Joel Osment, David Gallagher, Jesse McCartney, and Brittany Snow provide the voices of Kairi, DiZ, Sora, Riku, Roxas and Namine respectively.

Calling that an all star cast seems a bit of a stretch. Except for Christopher Lee these are all mid-grade television actors. None of them has won a major award. Unless someone can support this claim better this paragraph should be removed. Pburka (talk) 17:23, 24 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

All star casts?[edit]

There is something of a discrepancy in the films listed. Whilst the early films do indeed feature dozens of famous names, some of the more recent entries seem to feature at best six or seven (e.g. Scary Movie). Shouldn't this list be trimmed for accuracy? --81.106.250.157 (talk) 00:53, 29 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I've added Ocean's 11, the original film to the list, as the all-star cast of the newer film is actually just another rendition of the idea followed in 1960. Zuckerberg (talk) 13:29, 25 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Inception should not be there, I think. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 189.83.193.41 (talk) 20:56, 19 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

A list of 50+ movies just isn't necessary, nor are any of them sourced as being referred to as "all-star." (Besides, "Untitled Comedy (2010)"? Come on.) I've removed the list; the few titles mentioned in the "Cinema" prose section is sufficient.21:15, 8 May 2011 (UTC)

All-star cast was first[edit]

It's completely incorrect to describe the term as originating in Sports. The term was first used widely in entertainment to describe an [ensemble cast]. Reference the historical uses of the phrases here: https://books.google.com/ngrams/graph?content=%5Ball+-+star+cast%5D%2Call+star+cast%2C%5Ball+-+star+game%5D%2Call+star+game&year_start=1800&year_end=1970&corpus=en-2019&smoothing=0
