Original work?
Is this original work? It's badly in need of being wikified, but I don't want to bother if it's going to be deleted because of a copyright violation. -- Zoe
Most of the facts were looked up on imdb.com (the rest I knew myself), but the text itself is a completely original piece of writing. -- GuruJ

- Zoe - This is all well-known stuff about Eric Bana. GuruJ, it does need Wikifiying. Please look at Wikipedia:Manual of Style. Mintguy
Jewish
Is Eric Bana Jewish?
- I don't believe so. Just German-Croatian gentile. Vulturell 05:07, 7 December 2005 (UTC)
Languages spoken
can he speak german or croatian? -Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.234.167.181 (talk) 22:46, 25 October 2008 (UTC)
Crips?
i heard some dumb rumor eric bana a 73 ducce crip member, DAMN ERIC BANA? CRIP GANG?
It is true. He claimed Rollin 30's, but no one believed him because rollin is not in his part of the country. Now he claimes 73 duccee
it is 100% true i don't care how good of an actor is the way he handeled that gun in munich shed light on the situation he was calm cool and collective when he was killing and holding that gun. -Preceding unsigned comment added by 146.115.75.135 (talk) 01:52, 19 October 2007 (UTC)
Massive re-write & expansion
I just re-wrote and expanded the article. Any feedback or additions would be wonderful. Thanks. I have put the article under peer review and would like to make it a good article in the near future. -- Underneath-it-All 05:24, 3 June 2006 (UTC)
Hulk 2
Please do not add this film to Bana's filmography. It has not been confirmed by Bana or by the producers of the film that he will be in it. Thanks. -- Underneath-it-All 15:38, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
He isn't on it. Fleurbutterfly 19:05, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
Citation spot check
As part of this project, I randomly checked a few footnotes from this article. Results were as follows:
- Footnote 4. "For the next two years Bana worked as a stand-up comedian, performing primarily in inner-city pubs, supporting himself by clearing tables at the Castle Hotel."
- Iffy. From site: "Bana started his career doing stand-up spots at inner-city pubs, clearing tables in between."
- Related fact, but doesn't mention the Castle Hotel or the duration of time.
- Iffy. From site: "Bana started his career doing stand-up spots at inner-city pubs, clearing tables in between."
- Footnote 17. "...but Bana's performance was received with positive reviews, such as one review from the New York Daily News claiming that although the character Bruce Banner is "dull", Bana plays the role "with great conviction"."
- Iffy. From site: "The best that can be said for newcomer Bana is that he plays a dull character with great conviction."
- I wouldn't necessarily call that a "positivie review".
- Iffy. From site: "The best that can be said for newcomer Bana is that he plays a dull character with great conviction."
- Footnote 21(a). "Munich caused controversy and heated debates upon its release from both Israeli and Palestinian political leaders, who argued that the film did not take a political stance and humanized the members of Black September."
- Problem. From site: "As it transpires, this long, tense thriller has managed to equally enrage members of the Israeli and Arab lobbies in the United States."
- Nothing here about what arguments the two sides made.
- Problem. From site: "As it transpires, this long, tense thriller has managed to equally enrage members of the Israeli and Arab lobbies in the United States."
- Footnote 25. "At the age of fourteen, Bana wanted to leave school to focus full-time on becoming a motor mechanic, but was convinced by his father to complete school, telling him that he should not make his hobby a job."
- Checks out. From site: "No actually, I wanted to be a motor mechanic. I wanted to leave school at fourteen and go work on my car, and my dad said, "Don't do that, son." No actually my dad says, [Croatian/Australian accent] "Son, don't do that. Ahh, you should stay at school until your high school is finished, and when you finish, don't make your hobby your job.""
- Footnote 32. "The film was created to raise awareness about an incurable facial cancer which threatens the survival of the species."
- Problem. From site: "Tasmania's devil, the largest marsupial carnivore left on earth, needs such enthusiastic friends. The alarming spread of an incurable facial cancer threatens the survival of the species, with more than a third of the island's devils wiped out in the past 10 years."
- Nowhere in this article is it stated that the movie is about, or intended to raise awareness of, the cancer issue.
- Problem. From site: "Tasmania's devil, the largest marsupial carnivore left on earth, needs such enthusiastic friends. The alarming spread of an incurable facial cancer threatens the survival of the species, with more than a third of the island's devils wiped out in the past 10 years."
A number of problems here, mostly of the site-is-related-but-doesn't-directly-support-the-statement variety. Someone needs to go through and clean this up (not only fixing these problems but also going through the footnotes I didn't check). --RobthTalk 21:39, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

- I have gone through the references and have made some changes. The magazine references were all pretty much checked out, but the websites did have some problems. I have addressed these problems by re-working setences or by removing certain statements all together. -- Underneath-it-All 23:02, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
Catholic?
Does anyone have some kind of first-hand, reputable source that he is Catholic? I think he was married in a Catholic ceremony, but that doesn't necessarily mean that he himself is. Mad Jack 08:08, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
- I do believe he is Christian, but cannot confirm if he is Catholic or not. Good call on removing the cat. -- Underneath-it-All 14:06, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
He´s of Croatian descent which means he´s Catholic. -Preceding unsigned comment added by SINJORETOVO (talk - contribs) 08:53, 14 June 2008 (UTC)
- There are also Orthodox and Muslim Croatians as far as I'm aware. Also, just because he is of one ethnicity, in Australia does not neccessarily mean he is of their dominant or even minority religions. Unless there is a reputable source around stating what religion he is, eg. in an interview, wikipedia shouldn't proclaim him to be something.--Senor Freebie (talk) 05:16, 8 August 2009 (UTC)
Infobox...
When I view the article, the infobox looks very small and it is hard to read. I was wondering if it was just my browser or if others see it that way too. If so how can we fix it? -- Underneath-it-All 14:10, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
- Never mind...I think I have fixed it. -- Underneath-it-All 18:29, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
Ref problem
I found that citation #22 does not work. I tried to renew it, but the website doesn't seem to carry the review anymore, so you'll probably have to delete that sentence.-Dark Kubrick 04:07, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
- I tried to look for an alternative source, but have yet to find one. Following WPCITE, I have listed when the link went inactive and will keep it in the article because a print source does exist and the article may turn up on the internet archives in the near future. -- Underneath-it-All 14:47, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
Also, it seems that citation #32 does not point to the article in question anymore. Might i suggest someone changing the reference to: http://www.ericbana-archives.com/ (which has pics of his car before and after too!) Johnmorrow 06:58, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
Out of Bounds
No mention of his comedy CD 'Out of Bounds'? I believe it was released in '94, the title track had a music video. Anyone have the tracklisting and cover art they can add? Metalion SOS 00:04, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
- It should probably have its own article. -- Underneath-it-All 00:14, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
- There's a track listing and cover art etc here. The cover features Eric Bana's arse. It is an hour-long comedy CD about Australian Rules Football. Judging by the sample I have just heard it is a real laugh riot. -Ashley Pomeroy 22:11, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
- I have created an article for the CD (Out of Bounds (album)). -- Underneath-it-All 00:17, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

Alternative Eric Bana image
I have a lot of images, but have limited time. Here's an alternative Eric Bana - I'll let the people invested in the page decide which they prefer. --David Shankbone 03:01, 3 May 2007 (UTC)
- Great image! I've added in into the body of the article. -- Underneath-it-All 04:07, 3 May 2007 (UTC)
Vandalism
This page has clearly been vandalized. I reversed some of the false information, but someone else should really take a look at it. 24.235.190.192 (talk) 00:06, 18 June 2009 (UTC)
Love the Beast
Since this is one of Bana's most recent films, it seemed odd to me that it isn't in the 2005-present section of the article. Not sure what others think.--Senor Freebie (talk) 05:19, 8 August 2009 (UTC)
- I definitly think it should be there, especialy in filmography table.--Beegees (talk) 02:59, 14 December 2009 (UTC)
