The Bill Murray part was originally written for Sylvester Stallone but Stallone backed out just before we began shooting. The producers sent the script out to several other celebrities but no takers. We were actually already filming when Woody mentioned that his old buddy, Bill Murray, was also in Atlanta shooting a film called Get Low. Between setups, Woody called Bill and while we all stood around eavesdropping, Bill agreed. The writers got busy and the art department started making the BM for the front gate and a few days later we shot his scenes.
@@dereknolin5986 It was a fun shoot. I think we started at the amusement park, which is really in Valdosta, GA. When the girls were stuck on the ride, it was about 10 degrees that night! Later a tornado came through, just missing the park. Everyone was friendly and it was a pleasure working on a good script for a change! The day after I got off Zombieland I started on The Blind Side. That was a pretty good year!
@@NaughtyWeiss I can't remember the other celebrities the part was offered to. I just remember we had already finished the amusement park sequence before Murray signed on. It was a great relief to the producers and the casting couldn't have worked out better.
I understand that this isn’t common knowledge for everyone, but as a dude born in middle Georgia in 1994, it kinda blows my mind that it isn’t. Dale was bigger than the Beatles to rednecks.
For those who don’t know the banjo riff he plays during the supermarket scene is from the song “Dueling Banjos”. That song was featured prominently in the 70’s hillbilly survival horror movie “Deliverance”. The line Harrelson says to the zombie, “You got a pretty mouth” was also from that movie.
@@korganrocks3995 I’m sure they the powers that he could’ve made it work. A bit of levity never hurt any dramatic story as long as it’s respectful to the overall tone.
This movie feels like a concert. High energy at the beginning, low but emotional feeling in the middle and a lot of high energy at the end. A little jewel
“For Whom The Bell Tolls” was the perfect choice for the opening credit sequence! Also, PLEASE check out “Kingpin”…one of Woody’s funniest movies. It was written / directed by the Farrelly Brothers, so you know it’s gonna be a riot 😜
Its been 2 years now and still no joy, their patrons seem to be steering them towards kinda generic forgettable movies, not bad movies but also kinda m'eh
I think since you guys enjoyed Woody’s performance, you guys should checkout the movie _Kingpin_ which actually stars both Woody Harrelson and Bill Murray!
I first saw Woody Harrelson on the sitcom Cheers in the 90s, and this is what I always think of when I see him. He was hilarious in that, and pretty much stole every scene he was in. After that he started to get starring roles in movies and really got to show off how good he is at both comedic and dramatic roles.
Woody Harrelson is one of my favorite actors. I also fell in love with his acting on Cheers (80s, not 90s). If I see a trailer with him, I'll watch the movie. I don't care what it is. But legit, my favorite role of his is Haymitch in Hunger Games. Like, they're good movies but Woody just takes it to another level with his character.
I was so used to Woody from Cheers that when I first saw "Natural Born Killers", I couldn't reconcile it being the same actor.... Great flick, but oh boy, is Mickey a disturbing character
Woody is great in Seven Psychopaths, it also has Christopher Walken, Colin Farrell and the incredible Sam Rockwell, very funny movie. I'd actually suggest all of Martin McDonagh's work.
His brother has made some great films too, I was particularly impressed by Calvary. However, only Martin's work has lead to an amazing mash up with Harry Potter "You're a ****, Harry..."
I've never heard of it. Thanks for the suggestion. Harrelson, Rockwell, and Walken? I'll be very surprised if it's not hilarious, dry as a bone, and kind of bizarre.
Love this movie! Always a fun one to watch. I normally don't recommend movies but you should check out Tucker and Dale Vs Evil. You will not be disappointed. Great movie for October too.
Natural Born Killers is a great one to watch if you want to see Woody Harrelson at one of his best performances. Directed by Oliver Stone, Soundtrack album produced by Trent Reznor, an amazing cast and adapted from a screenplay from Quentin Tarantino. It's an absolute gem, some love it, some hate it but would be interesting to see your reaction, especially to the director's cut if possible
NBK is a guilty pleasure. Not the kind of movie I usually watch but it's so damn unique and it introduced me to the music of Leonard Cohen. Tommy Lee Jones absolutely slays me in his role.
I also hate coconut. It makes me puke every time I eat any. My friend thought it was funny when she gave me chocolate cover coconut balls she makes instead of the customary peanut butter ones she gives me at Christmas. She laughed as I was cussing her out. Got to love a prankster like that though. We've been friends for 42 yrs since I was 15 and her 14.
Same. All those little pieces of shredded coconut in my mouth drives me crazy. I have to rinse my mouth out for like 5 minutes every time I eat something like that.
@@liamisaac1152 Same cast and similar scores on RottenTomatoes... I don't remember much from the second one but I know I didn't hate it. So if you're looking for more of the same it should check that box :)
Oh man, should definitely put together a Simone compilation of things she wants to do but taken as random non sequitors -- "I want to go on a road trip." "I want to go to one of those places where you break plates." "I kinda want to go to an amusement park now. You'd think I wouldn't..."
I used to love this movie enough to rewatch over and over but these days i can hardly sit through it, i get bored too fast. Watching you guys react to it makes it enteraining again.
The first time I saw Woody was in a popular comedy TV show from the 1980s called "Cheers". He played a character called ... uh ... Woody. So he started off doing comedy. Ted Danson and Kelsey Grammer also starred in the show.
2:50 I saw this in a theatre in Addison TX not too far from Garland and that Garland TX line got so much laughter and cheering it literally took like 3 minutes to calm down
I'm sure that someone else has mentioned it, but Woody Harrelson came up through the TV show "Cheers." In many ways, even though his comedy background is maybe slightly less prominent, he's kind of like Jim Carrey (or, well, Bill Murray) as a comedian who expanded his horizons to drama, so it's funny that you guys are like "he should do more comedy!"
Poor Simone, the quick switches got her messed up. The laughter hits while she was disgusted or scared, then trying to switch to laughter while teary eyed. Fantastic film. The four plus Bill Murray as himself were perfect. Throwing in the more than just a simple Ghostbusters sequence was just awesome to me.
I don't normally watch zombie movies, but when he mentions he's in Garland, TX, I was hooked! LOL! I lived in Garland at least a couple of times during the 80's!
The role that solidified Woody Harrelson as true actor was Natural Born Killers, screenplay by Quinten Tarantino and directed by Oliver Stone; extremely dark comedy. It's an amazing film that's often overlooked, but is a film study masterclass.
Man, I've had it up to here with 00s "awkward boy with a super hot dream girl" scenes, but I rrrreally liked it that contrary to the genre conventions, it was about building trust, not tearing it down. The motorcycle scene had me in tears, the thing falling down just struck a deep comedic nerve. It's always fun to watch a movie I haven't seen before and keep guessing how you guys react. The second I reached World of Warcraft, I knew I was especially looking forward to George's reaction lmao.
Even though I think there are worse examples of the "Nice Guy" trope in cinema, I do think this aspect of Zombieland is pretty dated now. I loved the movie when it came out in 2009, but now it's been years since I watched -- even knowing I was going to see the sequel wasn't enough to make me want to go back to this rather than just letting my vague memories of the good parts stay memories.
@@tylerfoster6267it’s dated but at least she fell for him over time after he risked his life to rescue her and they had also were at least friendly with each other before. Plus it’s the apocalypse, dating pool ain’t that deep lol
It’s funny how in 18:02, Wichita mentions seeing her first rated R movie because this was the first rated R movie that I saw in theaters. I was 8 and my mother told the ticket person I was 10 so I could get in. It was awesome
My favorite Woody Harrelson roles - White Men Can't Jump, Three Billboards Outside Ebbing Missouri, Kingpin, Now You See Me 1 & 2, War for the Planet of the Apes, The Glass Castle, The Cowboy Way, After the Sunset, LBJ, Seven Psychopaths, and Defendor - healthy mix of drama and comedy
This movie hit so many genre's and so well. This and Superbad coming out around the same time was God's gift to comedy back then. Only complaint was it would have been way more impactful with his last stand scene, if he actually died but helped them out in the end with that.
The gas station attendant was Mike White. He wrote the movie School of Rock and the HBO series The White Lotus that just won a ton of Emmys which is coming back for season 2 on October 30th. Highly recommend binging that show for anyone who hasn’t seen it before S2 starts. Oh and he came in 2nd place on Survivor and honestly deserved the win. Got screwed over by a bitter jury.
I love this movie alot. The cast is incredible. When Tallahassee, Wichita and Mr. Murray get high and do a Ghostbusters montage it is priceless and hilarious. Thx guys I needed to laugh today. 🤣❤
#3 was the car number of popular NASCAR stock car driver Dale Earnhardt who died in a crash during a race in 2001. Some race fans are pretty, um, fanatical about him...
The funny thing about Woody Harrelson in comedy roles is comedy is all we ever considered him for back in the day watching Cheers. He played a cute idiot for 8 years and even he was worried he'd be typecast. He did win an Emmy though and 5 nominations so he was popular enough to get into movies which is what he always wanted anyway. Right after cheers his first movie was in 92' with the lead in White Men Can't Jump. If you need a Woody comedy you can't go wrong but there's serious elements too. Wesley Snipes was huge at the time and Rosie Perez's role was parallel to Marida Tomei in My Cousin Vinny. I think her best performance and helped launch her career. Anyway a year later in 93' Woody was in Indecent Prosal with Demi Moore which was also huge but such a far cry from his usual goofy roles. Then in 94' with Natural Born Killers I think most of us old farts who grew up watching him blown away at his range because even actors at the time typecast as hardcore couldn't compare to that performance alone let alone the polar extreme of where be came from. I compare to Keanu Reeves in that regard. While Keanu had serious roles initially he wasn't really well known until Bill & Ted and then we just viewed him as goofball. Even the martial arts instructor on the Matrix didn't initially want to work with Keanu because he thought he wasn't a serious actor. But yeah, long story short "White Men Can't Jump" is an awesome comedy if you're going down the Woody Harrelson rabbit hole.
Bit of background. This was originally supposed to be a TV series, pitched to Comedy Central. The movie is, essentially, a slightly expanded pilot. "Zombie kill of the week" and the narration element give that away to a certain degree. Zombieland is definitely one of my favorite zombie flicks.
What’s hilarious about the “I’m in Garland Texas, it may look like they destroyed it” I live a town or so over, Garland, for whatever reason, is actually just weird driving through, especially at night. It’s a “lock the doors and don’t talk to strangers” kinda place haha
The H2 Hummers get about 400 miles a tank. Tallahassee number 3 on cars is a tribute to the Nascar driver Dale Earnhardt. The characters in zombieland don't use their real name so they don't get close. Tallahassee and Columbus are named that way because that's where they're headed. I think the reasoning behind Wichita in Little Rock is they they're both from Little Rock Arkansas but Wichita ran away from home or she went to collage in Wichita Kansas. I personally don't know what my "Twinkie" would be. Might be a split between Little Debbie Zebra Cakes or Nuddy Buddy. Personally I'd want some vanilla ice cream but most likely there wouldn't be no electricity.
the sequel, Zombieland: Double Tap, is well worth the watch. Woody Harrelson was in, Venom: Let There Be Carnage (though you would need to watch Venom first), Solo: A Star Wars Story, and of course he played Hamish in the Hunger Games series.
Plot twist: they weren’t acting during the scene where 408 was “playing” a zombie. That was just amber being herself. The worst part was after they cut to move onto the next scene, someone found shit on the bed.
I love this movie! I do acknowledge that it is probably the purest example of a film that, if you think about it for a minute, makes zero sense (they constantly waste ammunition, all the lights and water are still on, very inconsistent on what kills zombies, and all the characters combined have the tactical sense of a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup), but it's just so fun that you go along with it.
Well first, there is a sequel to this. Zombieland: Double Tap. For Woody Harrelson comedy, it's hard to beat his role on Cheers. The first and most long-running role he ever had on television. 196 episodes. He joined the cast in season 4 and was a big hit. For good film roles (not necessarily all comedic) Doc Hollywood (supporting role) White Men Can't Jump (with Wesley Snipes and Rosie Perez) Natural Born Killers (with Juliette Lewis, Robert Downey Jr. and more. Trippy and violent movie.) Money Train (with Wesley Snipes again. And Jennifer Lopez.) The People vs. Larry Flynt (biopic) Kingpin (comedy about bowling with Bill Murray and Randy Quaid) A Scanner Darkly (trippy movie with Keanu Reeves, Wynonna Ryder, and Robert Downey Jr.) Now You See Me (he has a good comedic role) Now You See Me 2 (same) Kate (He's in it, but his role is pretty minor. It's mostly Mary Elizabeth Winstead, but it's just a good movie. Netflix exclusive) That's all I've got. Left some off that are good but he only has very minor roles. I'm also sure there's some in there that are great that I haven't seen. Woody Harrelson is amazingly talented with either drama or comedy. Also, a little trivia. Woody Harrelson's father was a hitman named Charles Harrelson who worked for the mob.
Bill Murray's mansion in the movie is actually Lee Najjar's house in Buckhead, a wealthy section of Atlanta, Georgia. Mr. Najjar's red Ferrari F430 Spyder is in the garage.
Fun fact: The 3 that Tallahassee paints on the sides of his vehicles is actually a nod to Dale Earnhardt, a famous NASCAR driver who drove a no. 3 car for most of his career.
From what I remember when this movie came out, Woody Harrelson is actually allergic to some ingredient in Twinkies. They had to bake a special version for him to actually eat in the movie. and you diffidently want to watch the sequel, Zombieland Double Tap. Fun trivia fact, between the time when this movie came out and now Hostess went Bankrupt and we almost lost Twinkies forever.
Dale Earnhardt was a famous Nascar driver who died in a collision during the last lap of the 2001 Daytona 500. The number on his car was 3 so thats why Tallahassee paints it on his vehicles as a homage to Dale.
Already mentioned but worth another comment: White Men Can't Jump (1992) with Wesley Snipes and Rosie Peres. Natural Born Killers (1994) for Woody at his most insane.
Abigail Breslin was in another zombie movie, other than Zombieland 2, called Maggie, with Arnold the terminator. It deals with a serious family dealing with zombies.
The 3 on Tallahassee’s vehicles is an homage to Dale Earnhardt. Raise Hell, Praise Dale 🤘🏼
🍻
The sport sure needs him now
@@UnlicensedOkie bro. he'd be like 80
NASCAR if you still don't get it, and Dale Earnhardt was one of the greats.
@@MrfuckinBeilke Yeah, his son already retired.
Tbh I was asking if he’s son was 3 but he looked younger

Wasn’t the cameo part also offered/meant to go to Patrick Swayze?
But that was around the time people didn’t know he was sick with cancer.
Key Grip, eh? Must have been a fun shoot.
@@dereknolin5986 It was a fun shoot. I think we started at the amusement park, which is really in Valdosta, GA. When the girls were stuck on the ride, it was about 10 degrees that night!

The 3 is a reference/tribute to the late Nascar driver Dale Earnhardt Sr., who drove the number 3 car.
RiP

I am sure Woody explained this in the movie but I may be wrong.
@@johnglue1744 I don’t think he ever mentions it in the movie
I understand that this isn’t common knowledge for everyone, but as a dude born in middle Georgia in 1994, it kinda blows my mind that it isn’t. Dale was bigger than the Beatles to rednecks.
For those who don’t know the banjo riff he plays during the supermarket scene is from the song “Dueling Banjos”. That song was featured prominently in the 70’s hillbilly survival horror movie “Deliverance”.
The line Harrelson says to the zombie, “You got a pretty mouth” was also from that movie.
That is a must watch movie.
purdy mouth
Between Zombies and the heavies in Deliverance...
I think I might prefer zombies.
I love this movie. It’s a different kind of zombie comedy. It also has the best cameo in Bill Murray.
After seeing Space Jam and Zombieland I came to the conclusion that every movie should have a Bill Murray cameo!
@@korganrocks3995 Schindler’s List might have been tricky. Lol

and Bill Murray
I second the Kingpin suggestion…masterpiece with both Woody and Bill.
Best line--‘What is it about good sex that makes me have to crap?’
Its been 2 years now and still no joy, their patrons seem to be steering them towards kinda generic forgettable movies, not bad movies but also kinda m'eh
In the end, the real twinkie was the friends we made along the way
Also the sequel is definitely worth checking out
I think since you guys enjoyed Woody’s performance, you guys should checkout the movie _Kingpin_ which actually stars both Woody Harrelson and Bill Murray!
Yesss!
"It's like I told you before, we Amish, we do everything half again as hard as you do. Ten frames. That's for Quakers"

KINGPIN! KINGPIN! KINGPIN! Not only one of the funniest films in the history of mankind, but starring Woody AND Bill Murray.
The look on y'alls faces when he shot Bill Murray...priceless lmao
Woody is great in Seven Psychopaths, it also has Christopher Walken, Colin Farrell and the incredible Sam Rockwell, very funny movie.
I'd actually suggest all of Martin McDonagh's work.
I love that movie
McDonagh's stuff are an amazing fit for reactions, so many emotional and intellectual layers going on.
His brother has made some great films too, I was particularly impressed by Calvary. However, only Martin's work has lead to an amazing mash up with Harry Potter "You're a ****, Harry..."
In Bruges is definitely in my top 3 movies all-time.
I've never heard of it. Thanks for the suggestion. Harrelson, Rockwell, and Walken? I'll be very surprised if it's not hilarious, dry as a bone, and kind of bizarre.
Woody Harrelson as Billy Hoyle in White Men Can't Jump is a must watch for a Woody comedy.
I was going to say that was probably his funniest role.
If you want to see Abigail Breslin in more, I HIGHLY recommend “Little Miss Sunshine”. A stacked cast with a good combination of laughs and heart. ❤️
Absolutely...
Absolutely. She was nominated for the Academy Award for LMSunshine at age 10.
The “Zombie Kill of the Week” was a holdover from when the movie was being pitched as a TV series.
Arguably one of the best zombie movies to be made

I love Simone’s reaction to the beads being mixed up. Because I had the same reaction.
Natural Born Killers is a great one to watch if you want to see Woody Harrelson at one of his best performances. Directed by Oliver Stone, Soundtrack album produced by Trent Reznor, an amazing cast and adapted from a screenplay from Quentin Tarantino. It's an absolute gem, some love it, some hate it but would be interesting to see your reaction, especially to the director's cut if possible

One of my favorite Woody Harrelson movies is Kingpin. If I had to guess it’s the movie where Woody Harrelson and Bill Murray became friends.
Number 3 was NASCAR diver Dale Earnhardt's car number. Woody Harrelson's character was a big fan.
Its such a funny movie, and the sequel was truly brilliant. Was worried about Double Tap being a let down, but it really wasn't. Love the reaction!

Was also in school of rock and other stuff.
I recently just found this channel and I’ve literally binged so many of their videos😭keep up the great content!
Number 3 was the number of Dale Earnheart, who was a famous race car driver that died - he's idolized in the South.
"Oh, this is so exciting! You are about to learn who you gonna call." - literally us every time you two are about to react to another classic. :^)
This is for sure my favourite zombie movie, you guys should totally do the second one.
I love this movie alot. The cast is incredible. When Tallahassee, Wichita and Mr. Murray get high and do a Ghostbusters montage it is priceless and hilarious. Thx guys I needed to laugh today. 🤣❤
#3 was the car number of popular NASCAR stock car driver Dale Earnhardt who died in a crash during a race in 2001. Some race fans are pretty, um, fanatical about him...
You could watch Cheers! from season 2 and on. He was great in it.
The number 3 refers to Dale Earnhardt Sr., a famous NASCAR driver.
Found your videos because I thought Simone was gorgeous. Stayed because I love y'all's chemistry. Y'all are great
The funny thing about Woody Harrelson in comedy roles is comedy is all we ever considered him for back in the day watching Cheers. He played a cute idiot for 8 years and even he was worried he'd be typecast. He did win an Emmy though and 5 nominations so he was popular enough to get into movies which is what he always wanted anyway.
Right after cheers his first movie was in 92' with the lead in White Men Can't Jump. If you need a Woody comedy you can't go wrong but there's serious elements too. Wesley Snipes was huge at the time and Rosie Perez's role was parallel to Marida Tomei in My Cousin Vinny. I think her best performance and helped launch her career.
Anyway a year later in 93' Woody was in Indecent Prosal with Demi Moore which was also huge but such a far cry from his usual goofy roles. Then in 94' with Natural Born Killers I think most of us old farts who grew up watching him blown away at his range because even actors at the time typecast as hardcore couldn't compare to that performance alone let alone the polar extreme of where be came from. I compare to Keanu Reeves in that regard. While Keanu had serious roles initially he wasn't really well known until Bill & Ted and then we just viewed him as goofball. Even the martial arts instructor on the Matrix didn't initially want to work with Keanu because he thought he wasn't a serious actor.
But yeah, long story short "White Men Can't Jump" is an awesome comedy if you're going down the Woody Harrelson rabbit hole.
Now this is a very fun movie I hope you guys check out the sequel
Emma Stone always reminds of the supermarket scene in movie 43, it's ridiculously hilarious.
Esta es la mejor película de zombies y la segunda parte también está muy buena, saludos de México ❤️
Bit of background. This was originally supposed to be a TV series, pitched to Comedy Central. The movie is, essentially, a slightly expanded pilot. "Zombie kill of the week" and the narration element give that away to a certain degree.
Zombieland is definitely one of my favorite zombie flicks.
Woody is a national treasure.
The #3 is a Nascar thing for the driver Dale Earnhard. He was known as the bad boy of Nascar.
You guys to watch the sequel after this. It's extra funnier 🤣.
Dale Earnhardt, a beloved NASCAR driver. Always drove #3.
5:42 fun fact. Amber actually didn't need to act in these scenes, she just mimiced her everyday behaviour.
I hear there was a deleted part of the scene where see tried to cut his finger off.
Lol she looked so much better back then almost like the crazy made her unrecognizable
I did not recognize her hahaha I had to google to be sure
Finally someone in the comments mentioned Amber Heard's crazy ass!
He puts the #3 on his vehicles because of Dale Earnhardt the Nascar racer.
Amber Heard’s first appearance as herself in a major motion picture.
"Oh hurry he's on the ceiling, come get him" is one of my favourite line deliveries. Emma Stone is hilarious.
simone's intros are getting more funny and classic each time! it is FUN to watch movies with you guys. thank you! 👏🥳👍😁🙏
What’s hilarious about the “I’m in Garland Texas, it may look like they destroyed it” I live a town or so over, Garland, for whatever reason, is actually just weird driving through, especially at night. It’s a “lock the doors and don’t talk to strangers” kinda place haha
Please watch the STAR TREK movies! 🖖
The H2 Hummers get about 400 miles a tank.
Tallahassee number 3 on cars is a tribute to the Nascar driver Dale Earnhardt.
The characters in zombieland don't use their real name so they don't get close. Tallahassee and Columbus are named that way because that's where they're headed. I think the reasoning behind Wichita in Little Rock is they they're both from Little Rock Arkansas but Wichita ran away from home or she went to collage in Wichita Kansas.
I personally don't know what my "Twinkie" would be. Might be a split between Little Debbie Zebra Cakes or Nuddy Buddy. Personally I'd want some vanilla ice cream but most likely there wouldn't be no electricity.
the sequel, Zombieland: Double Tap, is well worth the watch.
Woody Harrelson was in, Venom: Let There Be Carnage (though you would need to watch Venom first), Solo: A Star Wars Story, and of course he played Hamish in the Hunger Games series.
Top 10 all-time favorite for me. I love this movie. The second one, while not as good, is still worth checking out. Same feel and very clever.
Plot twist: they weren’t acting during the scene where 408 was “playing” a zombie. That was just amber being herself. The worst part was after they cut to move onto the next scene, someone found shit on the bed.
One of my favorite parts of the movie is watching 408 get coup de gras'd
I love this movie! I do acknowledge that it is probably the purest example of a film that, if you think about it for a minute, makes zero sense (they constantly waste ammunition, all the lights and water are still on, very inconsistent on what kills zombies, and all the characters combined have the tactical sense of a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup), but it's just so fun that you go along with it.
Well first, there is a sequel to this. Zombieland: Double Tap.
For Woody Harrelson comedy, it's hard to beat his role on Cheers. The first and most long-running role he ever had on television. 196 episodes. He joined the cast in season 4 and was a big hit.
For good film roles (not necessarily all comedic)
Doc Hollywood (supporting role)
White Men Can't Jump (with Wesley Snipes and Rosie Perez)
Natural Born Killers (with Juliette Lewis, Robert Downey Jr. and more. Trippy and violent movie.)
Money Train (with Wesley Snipes again. And Jennifer Lopez.)
The People vs. Larry Flynt (biopic)
Kingpin (comedy about bowling with Bill Murray and Randy Quaid)
A Scanner Darkly (trippy movie with Keanu Reeves, Wynonna Ryder, and Robert Downey Jr.)
Now You See Me (he has a good comedic role)
Now You See Me 2 (same)
Kate (He's in it, but his role is pretty minor. It's mostly Mary Elizabeth Winstead, but it's just a good movie. Netflix exclusive)
That's all I've got. Left some off that are good but he only has very minor roles. I'm also sure there's some in there that are great that I haven't seen. Woody Harrelson is amazingly talented with either drama or comedy.
Also, a little trivia. Woody Harrelson's father was a hitman named Charles Harrelson who worked for the mob.
The number 3 on all the cars, is a shout out to the great Dale Earnhardt, a NASCAR driver, who was considered great, and who passed away while racing.
"A little sunscreen never hurt anybody."
Bill Murray's mansion in the movie is actually Lee Najjar's house in Buckhead, a wealthy section of Atlanta, Georgia. Mr. Najjar's red Ferrari F430 Spyder is in the garage.
Fun fact: The 3 that Tallahassee paints on the sides of his vehicles is actually a nod to Dale Earnhardt, a famous NASCAR driver who drove a no. 3 car for most of his career.
Fun fact originally Wichita and Little Rock were going to Disneyland, that's why Little Rock said "I'm going to Pacific Play Land!"
From what I remember when this movie came out, Woody Harrelson is actually allergic to some ingredient in Twinkies. They had to bake a special version for him to actually eat in the movie. and you diffidently want to watch the sequel, Zombieland Double Tap.
Fun trivia fact, between the time when this movie came out and now Hostess went Bankrupt and we almost lost Twinkies forever.
13:36 Omg Simone and the giant cup
A Woody recommendation, if you haven't seen it: Three Billboards. Not necessarily a funny role lol but an amazing movie.
Woody Harrelson’s cameo in Anger Management had my crying!!!
Dale Earnhardt was a famous Nascar driver who died in a collision during the last lap of the 2001 Daytona 500. The number on his car was 3 so thats why Tallahassee paints it on his vehicles as a homage to Dale.
Already mentioned but worth another comment: White Men Can't Jump (1992) with Wesley Snipes and Rosie Peres. Natural Born Killers (1994) for Woody at his most insane.
Abigail Breslin was in another zombie movie, other than Zombieland 2, called Maggie, with Arnold the terminator. It deals with a serious family dealing with zombies.
