So-So movie (Spoilers I guess)


This is one of those movies you watch when nothing else is on at like 2 in the morning. As long as you don't expect anything great, you shouldn't be disappointed. Some things I noticed, that were kind of funny, etc:

-Bone Crusher is on the cover of the movie, but he's in it for literally 45 seconds. Even Drew Barrymore had more screen time in Scream.

-For nearly the entire movie, we see maybe 5 of the monsters. Then with like 10 minutes! left, hundreds of them storm the bank. The Hunter's idea was to set a trap, so I was thinking he'd want to set the bank on fire or blow it up when all of the zombies were inside. No. He wants the three people left (later joined by the other guy) to fight the hundreds of zombies with 3 pistols and some knives. And they do. They kill hundreds of zombies in a few minutes. The scene is just nuts too, zombies are running everywhere and the people are just shooting them. This scene alone makes the movie worth watching.

-The zombies attack people. However, when Jackson is helping the Hunter, he is crouched over him for a good 2-3 minutes, the zombies just don't notice him, and continue to run around in the background.

-Watching the one guy squeegee blood off the SUV's window was pretty funny, it took him forever. Also, when that guy goes into the empty gas station convenience store, he steals money, and slim jims.

-There was really no reason for the Hunter to hit the guy Tray over the head and feed him to zombies. I didn't mind that he did, but it wasn't necessary.

-I like the fact that Hustle has decided to go into pornography as a side venture, but what boring pornography it was.

-That bank was enormous. It had escalators, and several staircases, and a lot of doors.

Let's not forget that every single shot in that long fight at the end hit the heart exactly, which is a pretty small target to hit on a moving creature in a chaotic melee. But is sure was considerate of the creatures to attack each person one at a time instead of ganging up and overwhelming them.

Heh--I just had an issue with why would E-40 think this group of clowns could pull off a bank heist in the first place?

I found the movie surprisingly entertaining, though. Especially the great Big Daddy Kane as an elite zombie hunter.

E-40's on-the-fly invention of slang was hilarious too..."Why you talkin' all big bronco on me?"

I also enjoyed Big Daddy Kane rushing to the bank and shooting zombies with no gunblast or squibs

And the big linebacker dude who couldn't even secure a room before he tried to rape the cop

And I liked the need for characters to take their shirts off when it really hit the fan.
