What are some of the things you would have done different given the same situation as characters in the movie?

example: Utilize propane tanks from roof to clear zombies. Then go get Andy and weapons / ammo.

If I were the cop with the shotgun, I woudl have told the 3 punk security guards to fuck off and just shot them right off the bat. There is NO WAY you should ever give up your weapon in a situation like that. Man, that pissed me off!!

When they made it to the gun shop, they restocked all their ammo etc. No problem there.


BUT CHRIST !  They still were using Shotguns and Revolvers !!!!  Would somebody P L E A S E pick up a god-damned AR !!!!  


Also, they really should have moved as a unit and that way they could have covered each other during reloads, etc.   It was basically each man for himself.

 The biggest mistake they made in my mind was not wearing long sleeves! Once they figured out that it was the undead's bite passing on the plague why on earth was everyone wearing cut-off tee shirts?

Exactly !  The plan to get to an island was bullshit from the beginning. Stay in the mall and work on booby traps and kill zones in case the zombies found a way in.  The Mall had more resources than that small group of people would have used in many months. It was foolish to leave.

This is officially zombie awareness week

At the end the  infected guy at the dock stayed with a semi auto handgun.  The people in the boat would have had more use of that gun.  He was going to die anyways.

Shame on Andy for not having any sound suppresers, especially for the mp5.  A suppreser on his scoped rifle might not have attracted that many zombies.

I would have never sent the dog with the food. There had to be material in the mall to make a catapult to launch a lunch to Andy.

I also would have altered the vans so the tangos could not get a grip on the outside and made a more effective "cow catcher for the front.

To get food to Andy, I've go to the sporting goods store, get a bow, arrows, and fishing line.  Find some rope somewhere, or maybe just use the heaviest test line.

Go up to the roof, shoot an arrow with fishing line tied to it over Andy's roof.  Once a line was established, tie a sack lunch to the line and convey the food over the zombies' heads to andy.  He could pass ammo back.  Maybe find a way to figure out how to get Andy into the Mall.

My main disappointment with the movie is that they still relied on stupid people to do stupid things to move the plot along.

So what to do different?

1. Mall should have been secured and cleared at the beginning. An inventory of supplies / weapons should have taken place.

2. Communication with the guy at the gun shop should have been a priority. Duh, he has a bunch of freaking guns!

3. There's a damn toy store in the mall. Get a remote control car. Drive it over to andy with a freaking sandwich, you dumbasses.

4. While you're driving the car over to andy, attach some fishing line you get from one of the 2 or 3 sporting goods stores in the mall. Then tie a rope to the line. Use this rope line to send food to andy and guns back to the mall.  Come on, it's simple - he has what you need, you have what he needs.

5. You have at your disposal more flammable liquids and materials to improvise weapons than you can imagine. That's why you take an inventory of the mall. Hell, they could have made a couple flamethrowers and walked over to andy's store, done the polka in the street,  get andy, and then walk back. But no, they just decided to sit on their asses while they were there.

What the hell, did only the dumbasses survive???

6. If some panicky airhead runs out into the middle of zombieland to save a freaking dog, WRITE HER ASS OFF! She's not worth it. You save her now, she's just going to do something stupid again. You know I'm right!

7. If one of your crew starts acting funny and hiding their fiance, don't just shrug it off.  Oh, and if you rush in to find said fiance is a zombie that's about to break lose, and you want to shoot it but  the zombie's boyfriend is threatening to shoot you if you shoot the zombie, SHOOT THE DAMN BOYFRIEND FIRST, THEN THE ZOMBIE. HE HAS A GUN POINTED AT YOU.

8. If you're docking on a strange island, and you want to check for zombies, don't just pull up to the dock and send a freaking dog out there.  Stay away from the shore and send some people in on foot. That way the zombies can't get on your freaking boat. You dumbasses!

Based on the movie, it seems the zombie initially only infects people with an IQ about 100 or so, leaving the marginally intelligent to fend for themselves and ultimately die of their own stupidity.

this happened the boyfriend did not have a gun out. He said something like "Are you going to kill my family?". The lady shot his girlfriend then he drew and shot her and they had a shoot-off until they hit the ground.

I think she was SOL. She could:

1. Shoot the guy then shoot his girlfriend - I can't see how that is justified before the resulting events took place. It would have saved her life though. She would have a hard time talking her way out of that one.

2. Subdue the guy then shoot his girlfriend - She possibly could have gotten help from the other people to subdue him but in the time he was in the room alone with the gun he could have barricaded himself in the room and made himself a greater threat. They would be able to kill his girlfriend but they might loose a few people in the process trying to breach the door. Remember the guy was not shooting ghetto style.

3. Shoot girlfriend then talk - Wrong! This prompted him to shoot her.

4. Try and reason with him then shoot his girlfriend - I don't think the guy would have let her shoot his girlfriend but she didn't even try to reason with him. She just got busy with the trigger.

Anyone know how to get yourself out of this situation?

"NOT shooting ghetto style"

That's one of the most interesting things about this movie.

The only characters who didn't practice good trigger discipline were the asshole security guards.

The boyfriend didn't handle his pistol like a criminal, he handled it like a cop. He didn't miss either.

Andy shoulda had some food stashed somewhere, he didn't seem like the kind of guy who'd let himself get jumped the one and only time he opened a hole in his perimeter, He'd have had that HK trained at the doggy door the whole time, anybody would. That was just lame.
