"Six people left in the world and one of them is Bill f*cking Murray"?


It might've been answered before, but rewatched the original movie and Tallahassee says "Six people left in the world and one of them is Bill f*cking Murray" when they meet him. Wichita, Little Rock, Columbus, Tallahassee, Bill Murray. Who is the sixth? Was this line just left in even though a scene with another survivor didn't make the final cut? Or is this meant to signify Tallahassee believing someone he cares about still lives and not being able to count them out from the ranks of the living? (Okay, this might be a bit too philosophical)

I thought it was just comic exaggeration, like when a joke bombs and hearing weak applause comic says thanks to “all three of you.”

It's a zombie movie, dude.

Dont forget the scene where Tallahassee says to Columbus "Thats gotta be the Zombie kill of the week"! after he slays a zombie, but Columbus narrates that Tallahassee would've won the zombie kill of the week except that award goes for the little old lady who nonchalantly drops a piano onto a zombie coming for her xD

So maybe Tallahassee was including the little old lady who was still alive?

Good point. Celebrities are exposed to a larger audience than the average person and must first become zombies.

Also, why is it that all the surviving women have a higher-than-average appearance? Are beautiful women more immune to the virus?
