Finally watched Zombieland this weekend.  Great film.

I'm trying to compile the 32 rules for survival in zombie land.  I think the film only highlights a few, so I'm going to list the ones I can...

 

  1. Cardio. Smokers, out-of-shape people, and extremely obese folks are not going to survive the zombiepocalypse.
  2. Double tap. Don't just assume it's dead. Hit it again. And again. A bullet is cheap compared to being bitten.
  3. Beware of Bathrooms Apparently they are all zombie traps. (See rule 15)
  4. Seatbelts. Safety first, especially when you slam into a wall to send the zombie through the windshield.

  5. *Skillet. Cast iron skillets are a handy all-purpose tool for cooking AND self-defense.
  6. Travel Light. This is more about emotional baggage than luggage, though that, too should be minimal for fast travel.
  7. *Get a kickass partner. Find the guy who's good at killing zombies and become the sidekick. It beats being lunch.
  8. ?
  9. ?
  10. ?
  11. *Bounty Paper Towels. Product placement or easy cleanup of zombie brains/blood?
  12. ?
  13. ?
  14. *Bowling Ball. Nothing says "massive head trama" like a bowling ball.
  15. ?
  16. Don't be a hero.  Using rule 1 to run is a survival trait. Dying for your buddy (usually) isn't.
  17. Limber Up. Goes with rule 1. Stay limber and loose as even a zombie can outrun you when you pull a muscle or throw out your back.
  18. ?
  19. ?
  20. *Avoid strip clubs. Zombie strippers are NOT arousing you sicko.
  21. Know your way out. When you're on the run, you don't want to be searching for an exit.
  22. ?
  23. ?
  24. ?
  25. ?
  26. ?
  27. ?
  28. *The buddy system. Your friend can help keep you alive. Or at least draw some of the attacks.
  29. ?
  30. Check the back seat. Always assume someone's sitting back there waiting to eat you.
  31. Enjoy the little things. Take time to blow up some shit and live life! Seriously, you'll probably die tomorrow, so don't waste what time you have left.
  32. *Swiss Army Knife.  Lots of tools in a compact package. 

 

The * denotes rules mentioned in promotional material rather than the movie.

 

There are apparently some other rules that are in interviews with the writers, etc., but not in the canon material:

  • Ziplock bag
  • Always carry a change of underwear
  • Double-knot your shoelaces
  • It's a marathon, not a sprint. Unless it's a print, then sprint.
  • Pack your stain stick.

No more monologuing, or I'll Swiss-cheese you on principle.
