[[WP:MOSFILM]] states that a film's nationality should be included in the lead section. [[WP:CITELEAD]] states that sources are not always required for the lead section if the relevant information is already included in the article. As Silent Running is quite obviously an American film (listed by the AFI, made by Universal Studios, etc) there is no contentious issue of the film's nationality. The AllRovi link also clearly notes its nationality. According to Wikipedia policies, no further citation is needed to clarify the film's nationality.

Soundtrack
The article states that "an LP record (LP-81072) was released on Decca DL7-9188, and was later reissued etc". Which is the catalogue number? LP-81072 or DL7-9188? What do the two numbers mean? -Ashley Pomeroy (talk) 12:57, 18 May 2009 (UTC)
- A google search for either "LP-81072" or "DL7-9188" will lead you to the answer to your question (Originally released as Decca DL7-9188, later available on reissue by Varese Sarabande. LP-81072). [1] Hope that helps. SpikeJones (talk) 15:49, 18 May 2009 (UTC)
Drones
"The drones - a concept that initially inspired Trumbull to write the treatment for Silent Running - were the subject of much speculation when the film was released. Everyone was trying to figure out how he managed to create these life-like machines. "I've even had professional special effects people look at the pictures and say, 'You must have done that with pneumatics, or hydraulics, or some kind of offstage control,'" Trumbull told Cinefantastique in 1972. The truth is, he had robot costumes made out of plastic, operated from the inside by several young amputees whose bodies ended below the waist. Trumbull got the idea from a character in Tod Browning's classic Freaks (1932) who walked using only his arms and hands." http://www.tcm.com/thismonth/article/?cid=18660&rss=mrqe —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.47.138.122 (talk) 03:40, 5 February 2011 (UTC)
- Today Trumbull addressed this at a public lecture. He asserted the drones were based upon the person Johnny Eck -- not the character he played in Freaks. He did however illustrate this with a frame from the film, possibly the easiest image of Eck to obtain. MartinSFSA (talk) 15:10, 26 February 2011 (UTC)
American Airlines
Didn't American Airlines object to their name being used in the movie, given that they are depicted as an evil corporation responsible for the destruction of the last bits of Earth nature? SpeakFree (talk) 12:55, 20 August 2011 (UTC)
- No. Pan Am (Pan-American) was getting so much attention (because of 2001: A Space Odyssey (film)), American took what it could get. They weren't seen as evil, merely a business decision. American Airlines of course is still flying even if in financial distress. 143.232.210.38 (talk) 18:30, 18 July 2012 (UTC)
