The story is a post-apocolypse US city being plagued every night by albino mutants, while Charlton Heston seeks sanctury in his penthouse fortress.

It's kind of funny that you refer to this as "the original" while mentioning in the same breath that it's in fact a remake.

Anyway, it's a good movie, as are the other two versions of the story. I've always found it very interesting how differently each film handed the "zombies". In Omega Man they definitely are the least zombie-like of the three films, more like cult members.

Hey Cruckster love your Day of the Dead vids that film has to be my favourite zombie flick ever, Captain Rhodes has to be the best and most badass character to ever grace a zombie flick, his foul language puts a smile on my face every time.

"This ain't a goddamn field trip people, this is a fucking war!"

I was going to stick the best scene of the film up and that is Bub saluting Captain Rhodes

but couldn't find it on You Tube.

Rhodes is the man!

^Bub is the best zombie ever as well.

It's genius man, Rhodes is probably the best guy to be leading, so the zombies had him...he was in another film in the trilogy
as another character who's a cop, I've heard fan theories that it's the same character and he joined the army.

Frankenstein is a crackpot though man. I get what he's trying to do, but if you see the scene where he's training Bub, and
think of it from Bub's point of view, he has essentially set up the sh*ttest butcher's shop in the World and said "here
have some of that instead of eating my arm". When Bub finds Frankenstein's corpse and rages, from the personal side it seems
like he's upset that he lost his mentor, but when you really think about it, was he just mad that he wasnt getting free food
anymore? Undisputable legendary moment when he listens to the music on the cassette player, though.

Long term maybe they could be trained, but the question is are they already smarter than us? Frankenstein should
have been working on fixing what's making them rot first man if you ask me. Cos that would stop the infection spreading.
Whatever they are they have no self control so Rhodes has the right idea, shoot them on sight.

The end is trippy sh*t...There's no chance of them re-establishing society from that base and there's no ****in
point waiting to hear from other bases. I'd set up a distress beacon in the base and leave behind any useful notes
compiled on the behaviour of the zombies and origin of the pandemic, and possible solutions. convince the woman my dick
is biggest, take the chopper and neccessary supplies and do that right from the start instead of hanging about until
the base is overrun. Set up another ****in beacon off-shore from the island, establish contact with survivors and
just pick who gets to live on me and my woman's island bitches.

But you don't actually want the chopper dude, you wanna get the boat.

Or the tank.

Shaun of the Dead (2004), for zombie impersonations as a sort of protective coloration for the as-yet unzombified.

BastardofYoung · 03-03-2012, 06:19 PM

Should also say Return of the Living Dead. The first film is one of the best zombie films of all-time.

Though I think Dawn of the Dead is the best zombie film of all-time. Good mix of horror, comedy and social commentary.

Braindead (Dead Alive) is my favorite, but I think Dawn of the Dead is the best.

It's SHAUN of the dead and george A romero. Sorry to be pedantic and yes it does matter!
