The Chronicles of Riddick had the worst ending ever. I remember thinking how they could have easily made it much better, but I cannot remember how. I figure that replacing it with a black screen probably would have worked though.
That wasn't clever. That was an assault on our brains.
Still, that movie has one of the best sequences in cinema history: a zombie does a forward flip and throws his axe in the process. It looks like he's trying to do a 360 flip, but doesn't quite pull it off, so he jumps, and then he rotates forward slowly (this sequence is in slow motion, as I recall), and his axe moves away from his hand and does likewise. It's an utterly confounding shot that I can't get enough of. I think Geoff might have saved a clip of that shot, so hopefully he'll post it here at some point. At the very least, he's got the DVD.
Oh yeah, and the zombie projectile-vomiting on the guy's face was also glorious.
There was some Chinese zombie movie I watched one time. The zombies air siphoned the blood out of you; they never actually touched you. Oh, and I think they may have been able to fly. Some four guys were trying to kill them with their kung fu. Can't remember the name of it, though.
i never watched it, but my brother was telling me about this kung-fu movie called "monkey with 72 magic" and how it kicks ass despite the lack of undead beings.
I've never seen zombies to be much of a threat to mankind. Sure, they'd take a huge bite (sorry) out of the world population, but as soon as we bust out the tanks, there's nothing they can do.
and Night of the Living Dead proves that humans cannot refuel vehicles when zombies are about. Especially when said humans have love interests, and they always do.
Well that's when you go back to your huge barricaded compound, refuel, and the go out again and kill as much as you can. Nearly every zombie movie has a huge barricaded compound, the only thing that fucks it up is greedy people acting stupid.
You don't make Phoenix down, you pluck it from a phoenix. Plucking feathers makes birds anger. Have you ever been on a phoenix's bad side? You're better off with a chainsaw hand and a shotgun. That's how you take out an army of Dead.
Yeah, if you want to die. Chainsaws are too loud, heavy and fuel-dependant to be effective, and the shotgun suffers from many similar problems, it's too loud and too close-range.
If you must go close-quarters, blades don't need reloading.
Phoenix downs have to be mass produced somehow! The combination of extreme rarity and the danger involved with plucking a phoenix's feathers would mean that their price would be astronomical. Plus, there would probably be a finite amount.
Also, with regards to blades, while swords are quite fun, one must keep in mind that it is extremely difficult to lop a head off with a single swipe, as the spinal cord is quite thick. Cutting zombies anywhere else won't do anything.
However, some well placed stabs with knives can do wonders.
well, what you do is dump a crapload of bacon grease on the ground where they're going to walk, like over a 100 sq. foot area, and when they're about 5 feet away, light the grease on fire. preperations involve making a crapload of bacon.

Was it this movie? I certainly hope there's only one Chinese undead hunter flick that involves vampire/zombies sucking your blood through the air; family members encased in wax; martial arts "masters" named Wind, Rain, Thunder, and Lightning; and what my friends and I call POGO ZOMBIES! For SCIENCE!
Yeah, we got together and watched it on Bad Movie Night.

That was about all that was good about it though.

Vampires will forever be brainless and pathetic to me, after this.
Sure, it's a stupid film but it has vampires and kung-fu.
And Peter Cushing wearing a pith helmet.
That's it. Game over. Humans lose.
Mix in the intelligence of the Land of the Dead (or was it City?) zombies and it's definitely humans for the lose.
