My one problem with this movie...


The first zombie took a *beep* load of shots to the body and didn't go down and when they finally decide to shoot him in the head, goes down like a sack of potatoes. Did they not realize it was the head shot that did it and just never went for the head shot again throughout the rest of the film???

My mistake, the big black guy did a headshot on the woman zombie they were playing with in the hallway. Again, why not use this during the horde's of zombies?

yes, I am just now watching this on Netflix. I came on here looking
for the same thing, if anybody had noticed that these people have
never even heard of a zombie. I stopped it during a fight scene
between the lady cop and a woman zombie. she's like having an actual
fist fight with it. like, WTF?, even basic common sense would tell
you that you are fighting a dead person, and any type of pain
you give it isn't going to matter. same goes for the Jo guy gangster,
he was taking on 2 of them, and it was like the director/screenwriter
was just wanting to show have "hardcore" these guys were. all it does
is make the characters look more stupid. they are just using up
all their energy on one zombie, when there are 30 million more in France
walking about. Plus, like you were saying about the first zombie
encounter, they all put like 300 bullets in it, and then someone gets a
headshot? so out of all these bad guys. not one even try to go for
the head when shooting a regular person?
also, about them not remembering about the headshot thing, before they ever
really get going, the younger brother of the leader says something, and
the older brother gives him a hard time about it and says, "don't be stupid,
we will just shoot them in the head", or something like that. so why
didn't they follow those rules???

it was almost comical, head butting a zombie, smashing its head in a cabinet
door, like a scene out of an evil dead movie. I was waiting for Bruce Campbell
to show up, lol....

Kind of comical! Posters behaving as if zombies were real creatures with humans having prior experience in managing them. Short answer: I think we're expected to believe that these people have never "heard" of zombies before and that this was the first zombie outbreak they had ever experienced.
... so why didn't they follow those rules???
You have to be kidding. Rules???🐭

I think that you think you're pretty clever, but really you either didn't watch the movie or read my post very carefully, or both.

No one in the movie would ever have to have seen a 'zombie' movie, nor would they have
to have been a 'thing' in the movie's universe. The 'rules' that I am referring to were their own rules. Beat up a zombie, it doesn't die, shoot one up, it didn't die, head shot,
it finally dies. When a movie sets up its own rules to follow in detail, and then doesn't follow those rules, it's just bad screenwriting.

I'm see you agree with my mother.

I actually did both though have to say, regarding your post, it was poorly written and constructed and so now I understand why you now wish to clarify your "rules" definition. If I was in your boots, I'd probably be scrambling to do the same too.

That's right. Now I remember. They all sat down and had a meeting about what to do in case they met any other zombies and signed a blood oath, that they'd all abide by the meeting's decisions. NOT!

There were no "rules" except for the fact they formed a loose alliance. Regarding headshots and/or the lack thereof, in virtually all the following confrontations, they don't have time to stand there and take careful aim at the head. They only have time to blast away at the masses, which is what we see them do.🐭

Dear Jesus Christ I agree. How many times do they have to unload into a dead guy to realize shooting the body doesn't work. This bugged me throughout the whole movie.
