There’s one zombie movie I watched recently, the night eats the world, where a guy rides out the zombie apocalypse in an apartment building for weeks/months and for the most part he’s really smart about it; locking down the whole building, going into apartments he knows aren’t infested with zombies (and marking the ones that are), keeping an inventory on his food and even weighing everything, once the water stops working he puts every container he can on the roof to collect rainwater, etc.
Also don't forget to double tap as well. That is from zombieland by the way . I think the best part of the movie was the scene in bill Murrays mansion.
Wow, this compilation really highlights the ingenuity and quick thinking in zombie films! It's refreshing to see characters making intelligent moves amidst the chaos. Thanks for putting this together - it's a must-watch for all zombie movie enthusiasts! 👏🍿
Zombieland Is Still My Personal Favorite Movie Franchise Ever, It Taught Me So Much Clever Instructions On How To Literally Take On The Zombies In Lots Of Unimaginable Circumstances That Might Come Your Way ❤
1968’s ‘Night of the Living Dead.’ ‘World War Z.’ 1978’s ‘Dawn of the Dead.’ ‘Brain Dead’ (or ‘Dead Alive’). 1985’s ‘Return of the Living Dead.’ My top 5 most favorite zombie movies.
This is not an insult, I’m genuinely curious, but how old are you? Most of these movies are old with about 10 years of gaps in between them so it must be a series, did you grow up watching them?
The smartest decision in Army of the Dead would've been for Scott to force his daughter to stay her ignorant ass home while he went on the mission. That way literally everybody involved wouldn't be dead, and Vanderohe wouldn't be the new source of infection on a plane.
It's a shame that The Girl With All The Gifts didn't make the list. The scene where she's sent out to scout around and look for supplies because of her natural camouflage is in the short term a great plan.
The protagonist pair from #Alive and the two rules makers from the Zombieland films have to be the smartest zombie apocalypse survival characters I have ever seen in a movie.
Both of the Bus Tanks were destroyed. One fell over on it's side after an accident, the other had to be blown up to stop the horde. Showing just how destructable the buses actually were after all and how increasingly of a bad idea it is for them to "just stay in the buses all the time..." It WAS a good idea to make the Bus Tanks as an escape plan from the Mall, if they had to, however. It gave them a fighting chance. But let's not pretend they could have survived indefinitely in them.
The machine gun leg in Planet Terror is up there in my top epic ideas in a zombie "slasher". So creatively twisted👌🏻. Zombieland is made even more enjoyable by ScAmber Turd being double tapped😂. The only movie I can tolerate watching that has her in it. It's one of my favourite movies in my horror collection. "It's time to nut up or shut up" - Tallahassee. The remake of Dawn of the Dead with the buses turned into weapons is definitely an epic move.
@carsonchambers5617 I don't think anyone can😆. Except for her few minions but they don't count. They haven't got enough braincells to rub together to class as intelligent thinkers. There's a strong resemblance to her acting in this part and her courtroom antics. Hilariously obvious
This is easily your best zombie list. It's a clever list about being clever. You touched on some great, good, bad, and so bad their good movies. Train to Busan, Dawn of the Dead, Life After Beth and Dead Alive. I enjoyed this video. It's been a rough day for me. You made me smile. And distracted my attention for a while.Thank you.
I just watched 28 Days Later last night for family movie night for my birthday. And I think the smartest decision in that movie was when Jim hid in the dead bodies.
Remember though, they're not reanimated bodies. They're just infected with a rage virus on 28 Days/Weeks Later. Fucked up and full of intensely extreme rage with no boundaries and almost non-existent pain threshold but they're living people. Not zombies. Just mentally deranged and a one-tracked mind to inflict immensely excruciating agony with nothing but their bare hands and chompers😬. More like angry cannibals with the munchies and the urge to use people's guts etc as playdough. Or chew toys.
#Alive was a surprise treat from South Korea from a script written by Matt Naylor for his American Indie film Alone from the previous year. I have both films and #Alive is the superior despite both telling the same story with a very different outcome.
As almost EVERY resident evil game has taught us, if you think something is dead YOU’RE PROBABLY WRONG, if you can’t ensure it isn’t coming back it’s gonna come back
One smart decision that should’ve been on here was the opening to 28 Weeks Later. Even though Don abandoned his wife and their fellow survivors, they would have slowed him down and they all would have became zombies. Sometimes the only person you need to save is yourself.
probably didn't make the cut because he turns around and completely undoes that smart decision by kissing her when she turns up in a quarantine facility later on.
If you're ever lost in the woods with a phone that's about to run out of power, update your voicemail with a description of your location and GPS coordinates, if possible.
The lawnmower isn’t something I’d use. Sure it would cut off some limbs from a zombie or two but they can easily get jammed. So clearing out a house with one is just asking to die
Using fireworks as distractions. Dying Light was a game rather than a movie, but much of it was practically movie-quality. The survivors came up with using bundles of firecrackers as distractions to lure zombies away from important things (like airdropped crates of supplies). And after they discovered the zombies are vulnerable to UV light, they improvise ultraviolet road flares -- one mission involves you getting the ingredients for it, namely turpentine.
WWZ was so good it made the list twice.... it really does deserve a sequel even if it's a new cast with a new story set around the same time as the first they created an interesting world to explore there
There's a GREAT young adult book series called Rot & Ruin or the Benny Imura stories that has so many great ideas. My fave is this zombie spray similar to how Walking Dead and R in Warm Bodies used zombie blood to mask their human scent. The survivors in Rot & Ruin manufacture a spray that could be purchased or traded for. They didn't USE actual corpses to make the spray, but a concoction of chemicals that were more sanitary but still made the wearer smell like a rotting corpse.
The Rules from Zombieland actually inspired me to make my own Craigslist Survival Rule list, so fair enough, considering I've sold multiple TVs with zero times being robbed and/or injured via Craigslist.
#4 is called object permanence btw. Something nuerotypical humans develop less than a year into their lives. Which opens up a different set of question about zombies tbh
3:11 Trying to remember what movie, or tv show some guy used textbooks/phone books as a plate carrier/vest. Not sure it’d work for anything bigger than handguns though, but probably helps for impact protection.😂 World War Z is still one of the scariest zombie movies to me. Just the fact that they can sprint so fast, that (probably) painful turning scene with the toy counting down, and the fact they have sorta a hive mind during the MASSIVE pileup scene somehow breaching the wall (pretty bullshit imo, especially the dumbass pilot getting too low) like that could happen, let alone them falling that distance and not getting their legs breaking off. They did probably show how overwhelmed, and mass panic/chaotic it would be. Hospitals being overwhelmed, how just one person infected trying to hide it could endanger of whole plane of people. Everyone trampling over everyone. The heart wrenching moments of your SO being infected, and trying to kill you, let alone kids. Ugh. Walking Dead takes the cake on the gut wrenching moments though out the whole series. Countless favorite characters being killed off, betrayal, heart break, etc. One thing about the apocalypse that most usually don’t think of is it’ll eventually end when all those zombies finally decay. So as long as you got plenty of food, water, protection, can defend yourself, shoot, bunker/well secured area, and can hold out, you should be eventually good. Unless on the off chance it’s like the walking dead with the roaming horde of zombies that’s pretty hard to avoid without some serious construction equipment to divert them via land moving. OH I forgot about how fucking twisted, and creepy Overlord is! The Nazi zombie idea has to be one of my most favorite zombies ideas. Whether it be from the Black Ops video games, or the nightmare/hella eerie looking Cod WW2 zombies (which shares the exact same creep factor/design with Overlord). Still can’t beat Ash’s chainsaw hand, and broomstick! Groovy baby! Just wish I could find a platform to watch them all on.
While I agree with most of these, there are some I'd say needed to be adjusted slightly or don't agree at some points. For instance, while tanking-up the buses was a brilliant strategy, they could NOT stay there for good. What would they do about food and water? By going into the boat, the yhad a chance at finding much needed supplies. Is it a gamble? Yes. And a damn risky one at that. But it's better than to live in a can all the time. Besides, living in such tiny spaces for long does a number on the mental health of those doing so. And considering these guys already shaken mental states... Yeah, not a good idea.
The scene in the thumbnail from Zombieland showcases what everyone on earth would love to do to Amber Heard (played that particular zombie) in real life as well!
It's not a movie, but the book series "Dark Tide Rising" was full of fantastic examples of how to stay alive in a worldwide apocalypse. Within 24 h of finding out there was a likely outbreak, the veteran parents and their two daughters had successfully "brought" an ocean going one family boat, loaded it up with everything from tampons to iodine tablets, and used firefighters gear to survive bites when boarding larger boats for supplies and ship parts.
@jakealter5504 it didn't help the town zombies were getting smarter as they traveled, especially with big daddy (is that the name) being the smartest and teaching them new tricks
In World War Z they make arm guards but what about face guards? Jerry was going to throw himself off of the bullying because he got zombie blood in his mouth. They should have made face guards just as much as arm guards.
@@user-em6ie2be7x that’s why I said that they should’ve been mounted, they’re good for clearing zombies from the side of the bus but they were a hazard otherwise
No amount of the World War Z movie was a smart idea, because none of it had anything to do with the book at all. So, it doesn't belong on this list, and I do not care what was said in it. This list is officially broken.
The first few times I saw WWZ, I didn't even know there WAS a book, so I LOVE the movie. After umpteen years of The Walking Dead, those lightning-fast WWZ zombies are terrifying.
