Not sure about Distribution on the infobox, please correct if possible. --Landon 22:39, 11 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Guns

[edit]

Edited the part about the end whit the nickel-plated guns. Those were not uzis. Uzi is a sub-machinegun not a nickname for them. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.160.44.145 (talk) 20:56, 13 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Suggest this isn't really - Science fiction action films | Science fiction horror films | Space adventure films - a science fiction film per se. Although set in the future on Mars, it's really a zombie slasher film. Rogerfgay (talk) 16:46, 25 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Absolutely agree. I will add Ghosts of Mars to the entry for "list of zombie films" S0343463 (talk) 23:08, 12 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

As the article itself notes: disembodied spirits who possessed the miners. That isn't a zombie film, it is possession. More akin to The Excorcist. IrishGuy talk 00:08, 13 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Nope. It's a space western with zombie slasher elements and zero horror or science fiction. Just because it's set in the future on Mars does not automatically make it a sci-fier. Arbo (talk)

Pure white gypsum had to be dyed with thousands of gallons of blood?

[edit]

What is the source for this item? I have seen it on a few different websites worded identically, but none have citations.

It is unlikely that "blood" would be used to dye gypsum, it would be expensive, unsanitary, smelly, and messier than using professional color medium.

Much of the film was shot in a New Mexican gypsum mine. The pure white gypsum had to be dyed with thousands of gallons of blood to recreate the Martian landscape. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Probablynoteworthy (talkcontribs) 05:08, 24 February 2017 (UTC) Probablynoteworthy (talk) 05:11, 24 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]


The cases that say 'blood' that I can see appear to be copies of the Wikipedia article. Other sources say food dye, which seems more likely. Wikipedia used to say food dye -- the change is here: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ghosts_of_Mars&diff=prev&oldid=749270768. I guess this was vandalism, I'm about to change it back, citing IMDB. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Shuggaroth (talkcontribs) 19:43, 8 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
