ZOMBIE question...

fishkiller41
Why is it, that no matter how fast a victim runs, a zombie still catches-up,wile merely stumbling along??
Do they have control over "space/time"?

    It would be a boring movie if you could just ru away from them, where is the suspense in that?

    Because they paralize you with fear! You forget how to walk and you trip over your own feet. If you do get away they sneak up on you and plunge thier arms through walls to grab you.

    I think that's why most modern zombie movies opt for the 'sprinter' version (ie Dawn of the Dead, 28 days / weeks later, etc.)

    Some Zombies are 'locomoted' around, too!

    any of you guys see the new Tarantino Zombie flick?

    It's part of his "Grindhouse" double feature. It's the second one called "planet terror". Awesome brand new 70s B movie.

    Because living people tire out. Zombies don't get tired or need to sleep.

    when people panic they run in circles and the zombie just waits. thats why a good BOOMSTICK is always important when zombies are possible

    They have unlimited endurance. A living human will always eventually tire out.

    It's kinda like the tortoise and the hare. The runners get tired and slow down, while the zombies keep plugging away and catch up sooner or later.[;)]

    I always felt fresh Zombies would be running like a MoFo (as long as they weren't eaten too badly) and as they get older or just older corps would be slower from decay.

    Now the "infected" from "28 Days/Weeks" are not really Zombies. They're just seriously tweaked out on Adrenaline with a skosh bit of RAGE[:D].

    While we are on the Zombie topic, Ive got a couple issues to talk about. In the remake of Dawn of the Dead, the Zombies can run which I think is BS. Not that we have any real Zombies to compare it to, and I will admit it does make things scarier. What do you guys think, can Zombies run? My second flaw I think that movie has is when they are getting ready to take the two shuttle buses to the boat they have to fight thru thousands of Zombies. Why didnt they just have the guy across the street at the gun shop thin out the herd for a couple days before the decided to move? Granted this is just hollywood stuff but I thought I would bring it up for discussion. Oh and the zombie baby part was dumb.

    I've always wondered about that myself. I mean the guy was in a gun shop in a big city, so you would figure he had huge inventory of ammo. He was also a good shot, one shot one kill. So Why didn't they just let the guy shoot untill all the Zombies were gone?

    On "Dawn of the Dead" the zombies were relatively fresh and limber and on "Day of the Dead" they been dead for a while to get all jerkified. As for Andy (the gun shop dude) I recon it'll be hard to thin out the crowd in a decent sized city. Also while we're at the mall. Of all the crappiest malls I've been to had a so called "Sporting good" store had a small selections of ammo and the handguns/rifles to feed (yes even here in California[:D]). Now I know the selections might be lacking but they would've had common bits to work with.

    Another thing they could've been working on the transport a wee bit sooner. And made it so it was top loading to clean out the gun shop. Like have a hatch on the roof while Andy covered the van while one of them passed the goodies from the second story down to the van. After a trip or two they could set up cover fire from the mall roof so they could load and controlled the population. Speaking of the population controll I would've let the dog girl go and watch her get zombiefied.

    Any of y'alls seen the movie "Fido"? It's about a society living with zombies in the '50's of Beaver Cleaver/Lassie days. The zombies are collared which makes them no want to feed on the living and does simple day to day (like shagging shopping carts, move furniture and land scape). Also the elderly are seen as danger since they can die any minuet and can become zombies so at 60 or so they're sent away to collar them for menial duties.
