If I understand correctly, it was due to a curious legal quirk: it was illegal for the actors playing the Infected to actually be naked in front of the 12 year old kid playing the main character… but the same actors wearing a prosthetic zombie dong to simulate being naked in front of the very same kid while filming said scenes was perfectly legal.

And of course, those things were considerably more noticeable that the real article.



The very last scene of the movie jumps 28 days into Spike's journey exploring the interior of post apocalyptic Britain. He is roasting his meal when a group of infected starts chasing him and corner him into a dead end. They are about to kill him when over the cliff, the grownup version of the kid who saw his family get killed during the initial outbreak in the film’s prologue shows up leading a gang of 5 or 6 men and women wearing colorful tracksuits with lots of gold jewelry and all wearing the most hideous platinum blonde wigs (which I assume are a reference to something or someone in British pop culture) and kill all the infected using acrobatic martial arts.

A lot of people have been drawing the conclusion that the Teletubbies in the prologue and Spike’s Red Power Ranger toy were foreshadowing for that scene.

You gotta be fucking kidding.

They went the Malignant route?

I just watched it, hated the first half, way too weird and out there for ole Pete but I fucking loved the second half, that was the movie I thought I was getting from the trailers and I enjoyed it greatly
The doctors island was dope as fuck and that final scene was bad ass and already has me All In for the next one

Waiting for the new Pixar space adventure Elio to start right now so I'll be back later with more thoughts on this one later, probably

I will check it out when I get home from the office (easier to get away with writing this at work than with watching YouTube videos on my iPhone).

But the description I gave of the final scene is accurate. Which should give us an idea of the tone of the sequel that was filmed back to back with this movie.

Is this what you mean?


Is so, then it's nothing like that.

I enjoyed the movie until.....

the pregnant zombie and the mom having a girls moment together while the pregnant zombie gives birth to a normal baby. But what I absolutely disliked was the fact the boy loves his mom so much he disowns the father and leaves with the mom to find her the doctor. And what does he do? He kills her lol yes she had cancer but you would think if a boy loves his mom so much he risks walking among the zombies to save her only to do the opposite. He could have spent her remaining time being with her until she passed. Nope. He just accepts she should die lol the entire power ranger ninja squad showing up was cringe as it gets. I absolutely hated the final 25 mins

You started hating the movie at the exact point I started loving it, Im surprised you didnt like the doctors island, I thought that place was prettay, prettay awesome
 
What was up with them fat ass zombies, why were they so fucking fat if all they did was crawl on the ground and eat worms, crawling around all day is hard as fuck, no way youre getting that tubby if youre burning that many calories and eating nothing but clean protein
 
I liked how the zombies were kind of slowly evolving into different little tribes and societies as the years went on, wonder how many hundreds of years it would take for them to stop being violent hellions and start building up a new world again and I wonder what that new mutated world would look like
 
It wasn't horrible, but the second half of the movie was like a completely different concept, with so many illogical decisions and a complete tonal change.

4/10

That lead zombie had a huge dong for some reason - It was almost as large as the average Shertard's.

I think I'm going to give it another watch, I had a lot of interruptions while I was trying to watch with people talking and walking in the wrong theater with their kids. I wasn't in the best of moods during the movie.

How were the Teletubbies at all related to the ending scene? The power ranger thing I can see, but not Teletubbies.

They were wearing Teletubbies colored sweat suits and they played a remixed Teletubbies theme song over the bad ass fight scene, I dont know if those are the only things but its at least two


I took it to mean that the blonde kid in the beginning is the leader of that gang and his whole life is built on that last moment of normal life that he ever experienced, watching that childrens show with all those other kids right before everything in his world became a literal living Hell, some 28 years earlier

LoL I do know how much you hate anything other than complete silence in the theater so I can definitely see that affecting your enjoyment

You woulda been furious at this dad that was setting down the aisle from me during the new Pixar space adventure Elio earlier today, he was talking loud as fuck to his kids and making an insanely overexaggerated amount of noise as he kept crinkling and crackling whatever snacks bag he was eating from nonstop all movie long
