Did I miss that point?

Because it kind of doesn't make sense. At all.

Shoot The Dead.

George A. Romero's 'DIARY OF THE DEAD' - 02.15.08

One of the worst movies I ever saw. The worst acting for sure. The kills were neat. But its all been done by this point.

*POSSIBLE SPOILERS*

My only conclusion I can draw from that is that since it turns out to be a dream that Marty was having, maybe that was just a random lapse in logic intentionally put in to give us, the viewers, a feeling of confusion.

Either that or again, it was really crummy scriptwriting.

This movie after all did have not one but THREE directors!

In the UK, we say April Fool's Day ends at noon. If you play a prank after that time, "the joke's on you".

Still odd though, cause the film is supposed to be taking place in the USA.

Also odd, that most of the actors have random British accents that pop up from time to time, especially Nancy....when Skip is explaining how Marty went insane, she goes, "Did he recovuh???" LOL Completely obvious.

So you're just supposed to play pranks while staying up all night at midnight?

OH but that does make sense though, because Marty killed those kids after it ended. So the joke was on him at the end. However since its supposed to be in the US in the movie its a mistake.

Thank God for abortion!
