Da Cap'n Posted June 25, 2005 Share Posted June 25, 2005 Ok, it might be a bit early for Land of the Dead to win, but I thought it still deserved to be up there! Well take your pick or add one that I might of forgot! The last two are jokes, of course (Sarah's gonna be mad at that Passion crack)!! This'll also be a way for me to check out some zombie flicks I ain't seen or hear of yet!! Get going people!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Da Cap'n Posted June 25, 2005 Author Share Posted June 25, 2005 Zombi was an Italian zombie flick that was considered the "unofficial sequel" to the original Dawn of the Dead (over there it was titled Zombi 2)! The American release was actually called Zombie, but I think it's final title was Zombi! Anyways, it was considered a classic (and I can see why), but it really isn't all that good!! My favorite part is a scene where this chick goes topless scuba diving and encounters a Tiger Shark! Just when she thinks shes given the shark the slip, a fuckin' zombie comes out from inside the coral and attacks the bitch! Thats not it, though! In the strugle, the shark comes back and bites the zombie in the back!! Thats still not it!!!! Now the shark and zombie are cought interlocked in battle and the chick gets away to make sure that there are plenty more tit shots to enjoy!! That shit was awesome!! Just from that scene it should win this poll, but the movie really did suck... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reverend Jax Posted June 25, 2005 Share Posted June 25, 2005 Aim For The Head...Shaun Of The Dead! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Da Cap'n Posted June 25, 2005 Author Share Posted June 25, 2005 After some thought, I went with Shawn too, Jax! I don't know why! I love them all, but Shawn was the one that kept "jumpin' out at me"!! Get it? Cause they're zombies... oh nevermind! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JunkerSeed Posted June 25, 2005 Share Posted June 25, 2005 Hey Zombi aint that bad. But yeah, a lot of the italian stuff is worth it more for certain great scenes than being good as a whole. They certainly don't bother with telling a story or anything. I think another title for it is Zombie Flesheaters. If anyone actually liked Zombi, City of the Living dead is pretty sick. That one's also by Lucio Fulci It's a hard pick for me between Dawn of the dead, night of the living dead, though Shawn of the Dead is temtping. Oh, yeah, and I'd also include peter jackson's Dead-alive (Aka braindead) on there. I think it's better zombie comedy than Return of the living dead.

Reverend Jax Posted June 25, 2005 Share Posted June 25, 2005 Well the thing I think is so great about Shaun of the Dead is that before seeing it, you think it's a parody or a satire in the National Lampoons/Mel Brooks tradition, but it's not, it's like a real zombie movie, it's just also a romantic comedy. Also, the reason I went with Shaun of the Dead is that I think it's a more realistic story on a human level, by that I mean, I think that's how real people would react in the situation that suddenly your town is overrun by zombies. You wouldn't really believe it at first, your plan would be half-thought through and clumsily executed. I could relate to Shaun, and that's why what was happening to him was even scarier than your standard run-of-the-mill Zombie movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Da Cap'n Posted June 26, 2005 Author Share Posted June 26, 2005 Fuck all that shit!! I loved it cause Shawn and Ed sing along to "White Lines" with a zombie!! "White linesssssssss... blow awayyyyyyyyyyyy!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reverend Jax Posted June 26, 2005 Share Posted June 26, 2005 Also the scene with Don't Stop Me Now by Queen was good. I loved Ed in that movie. "Wassup, nigga?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Da Cap'n Posted June 26, 2005 Author Share Posted June 26, 2005 I also loved the part when Shawn is talkin' to his mom on the phone and shes insisting that he not trouble himself by comin' over and Ed screams into the phone: "WE'RE COMING TO GET YOU, BARBRA!!!" 10 points to who (except Junker) can tell me what that is originaly from!!

The NZA Posted November 27, 2005 Share Posted November 27, 2005 So...City of the Living Dead was good? Cause ive seen the oldies, most of what's on this list besides RE2 and Return 1 & 2....and Zombi only sounds good for tiger sharks vs zombies, plus titties. ps i think ima vote Thriller, because "im not like other guys..."

Lycaon Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 What, no Evil Dead, Evil Dead 2, or Dead Alive? You disappoint me. (The Evil Dead zombies aren't typical undead by any means, but those movies still should be included) Tsk, tsk I say. Also "fie on you", and "for shame."

APANCHALYPSE NOW Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 I continue on my quest of good zombie flicks and was excited when a new one came out recently! "Undead"... simple, straight to the point, lets get this splaterfest started!! FUCKIN' AWFUL!!! I blame Skeeter!! Ausie flick with the stupidest story I ever fuckin' seen! Here's a rundown: Little town in Australia gets hit by metor shower, gas turns people to zombies, zombies eat remaining people! Awsome so far!! Then: Infected people start to be abducted by aliens and cured and returned when infection has run it's course! WHAT?! Crap, crap, crap!! Give me a zombie or an alien movie, but not both together! Once again, I blame Skeeter!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lycaon Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 "Evil is amongst us! Stay back boy, this calls for divine intervention!" Definately Dead Alive, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keth Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 Went with Shaun. Not my first zombie film, but it helped introduce me to the classics. Aside from that, I really do like it more than the others. ^^^Surprised Dead Alive wasn't in the poll too. Undead deserves an honorable mention. Not poll worthy, but it got shat on by so many people I don't see why though. I really enjoyed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thelogan Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 Undead is awesome. Panch is bein' foolish. He's not alone, a lot of people hated that movie, or they were like "Oh my GAWD, that was sooooo dumb", even though the creators were clearly in on the joke and didn't take it seriously. You don't wanna be one of those people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panch Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 No, clearly this poll was created with traditional zombies in mind (28 Days Later the stretch). When aliens get introduced, that's when that goes out the window. Joke or no joke, I just didn't like that movie. Believe it or not, I try to take my zombie movies seriously.

Thelogan Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 Dude, Shawn of the Dead is in this poll. You didn't get a clue when a murderous fish latched onto the dudes nose? I assume the awesome Dead Alive/ Braindead didn't make the cut for the same reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panch Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 Dead Alive was meh to me. Yeah, I said it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thelogan Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 I refuse to entertain the notion that muppet-monster Resident Evil 2 somehow belongs here more than Dead Alive. I'm taking my ball an going home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
