The famous quote from this movie is "when hell is full, the dead will walk the earth." Which sounds cool when you say it, but it doesn't fit in with this movie at all. In George A. Romero's trio, starting with Night of the Living Dead, humans turn into zombies when they are bitten by other zombies. It makes no different if you are a good human or a bad human, you are still going to turn into a zombie. Little kids with baseball gloves still on stumble around as zombies in this movie. So clearly hell being full has nothing to do with anything. And another thing, why were there kids still playing baseball in the middle of a zombie epidemic anyways?? It's practically the apocalypse and they go outdoors and have a baseball game. According to the Darwinist theory of survival of the fittest, I guess it's a good thing that kids that stupid are dead and can't reproduce their crazy baseball loving genes.
I definately appretiated the scene with the rednecks. They had a field day with these zombies everywhere. When else are they encouraged to just go around shooting things, especially people?? They had a big keg and a bunch of beers and had this big zombie hunting redneck picnic.
Another scene that I liked was when the biker with the sombrero kept trying to get a blood pressure test for some reason. Once again, doing something really mundane and random while you are obviously surrounded by zombies. But it did allow the movie to have that cool close up of the guy's arm still getting its blood pressure tested... after his body had been ripped away from it! That's the kind of cheesy horror movie moment that we all love to see.
