      As y'all mentioned Chan in a mall that scene was in my head then on the screen. Whomever spliced that in, great job. Would love to see y'all cover some old school Martial Arts movies, maybe do a Bruce run, Jackie, Jet & then Donnie. There are some classics in the genre that I think the young ones of today may not know about.

    A couple fun facts...
    1) The gas station explosion scene is a nod to the original movie, in which one of the characters describes witnessing the same thing. The helicopter flying overhead is also the same one used to get to the mall in the original.
    2) Zack Snyder has a cameo as one of the soldiers at the US Capitol in the opening news montage.

    I think the reason the husband turned so quickly in the beginning is because he died quickly. He was bitten in a spot that would kill you almost instantly. If you get bitten in your arm or something you’ll probably die slower from the infection and then you turn.

    • @smokedaddy3d_
      @smokedaddy3d_ 3 місяці тому +8

      Its also based on size. Luda's bite was small, as if the zombies teeth cut her like a knife would. So it took her 2 to 3 days to turn, while the Dad's bite happened when they got into the truck, and it was a bigger bite, so its assumed the Zombie latched on to him and was able to bite more, thats why he turned the same day, same for the Fat Lady. Michael probably would've survived until they reached the island, then he would've turned, considering how big his bite was. So if Lewis at the beginning had bit bitten in the same spot, but smaller, he would've probably survived with Anna, until the car crash, where he would've died and turned.

    I agree, mall would have a lot of everything, but wouldn't that also be the major problem?? I mean, far too many points of entry. Although with enough prep time a solid group COULD reorganize everything they need into a smaller more contained space. Use hardware supplies for generators and tools; furniture stores for living accommodations; focus on completely isolating the grocery store for maximum food storage. Then empty out all the other stores and blockade off the corridors and you might just have a valid shelter. But you'd have to patch in the building's power into a focused section and make sure that it is always free on zombies. Essentially you'd need a little bit of every kind of person. Definitely a handy man.

    This movie is slowly becoming cult classic amongst newer fans of the zombie genre. Yes we all know George A Romero's original Dawn of the Dead is a classic with its satirical commentary on consumerism, along with the other cuts of the film, but Snyder's 2004 is a fun watch. I like to think of it as an alternate, faster version of Romero's universe using the more modern tropes of faster Infected/Zombies. No it's not going to "replace" Romero's films, it's just a fun action paced zombie movie.
