I'm impressed; they even keep it up into the description! Man, the comments section of -this- page might end up blowing up spectacularly.

It's been...a while...since that was added. And in all the following time, not ne person has apparently noticed.

That's an amazing level of blindness.

Or it's not a page that gets visited very often. How many people are still obsessively into Cowboy Bebop?

Upon reflection, I wonder if the original population of that page was done by a) someone completely clueless; b) a bot, or c) someone Being Cute. I feel like the over-under on c) is not that unreasonable.

Oh, absolutely, but there was at least one-two dozen corrwctions/additions to the page over the subsequent number of years. And yet, nichts.

Just amused me.

None of the above: The people doing the page went with official promo material for the North American release of the movie.

Now, why somebody at Sony cribbed your stats I don't know.

You have to use the Wayback Machine to dig it up, but if you look at the references you will find stats for the Swordfish II that blatantly take inspiration from the UF stats. There are enough differences that make it clear the person didn't simply copy them wholesale but the whole WDF Armory/GENOM Arms red flag is there.

I came across it a while ago randomly watching a YouTube video.
