End Title Disclaimer


You know, I usually just make up something silly to put at the end of the end title crawl. Something like "No Androids were harmed in the making of this Motion Picture". But I thought I'd go and copy what Sony puts at the end of their movies. Or, at least, the end of Starship Troopers 3.

"The characters and incidents portrayed and the names herein are fictitious, and any similarity to the name, character or history of any person is entirely coincidental and unintentional.

"This motion picture photoplay is protected pursuant to the provisions of the laws of the United States of America and other countries. Any unauthorized duplication and/or distribution of this photoplay may result in civil liability and criminal prosecution."

I do question how they used commas in the first paragraph.

I wonder if this might be a little cleaner...

"The characters, character names, and incidents portrayed herein are fictitious, and any similarity to the name, character, or history of any person is entirely coincidental and unintentional."

That's what I was thinking. But who's gonna argue with Sony's lawyers? ;-)

I like more commas. More commas, more better.
