Another stupid decision made in the English wikipedia was that spoilers are _not_ marked as such. Just take a look a the article about "The Jesus Chainsaw Massacre" movie... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Passion_of_the_Christ ... or about the Titanic (the nazi rip-off by Cameron)... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Titanic_(1997_film) ... and see how carelessly it gives the end of both movies without respect for those who don't know the stories!
