Land of the Dead questions (SPOILERS)

Cafe Society

So I just saw Land of the Dead and while it was good, it doesn’t make a whole lot of sense under increased thought. I checked out the old thread about it and none of these questions seem to have came up.

  1. Holy Multiplying Zombies: In the town there are maybe thirty zombies that start the trek to Fiddler’s Green. OK. At the pier, maybe a couple dozen. Alright. So how do hundreds of zombies eventually raid the Green when they’re getting shot along the way?

  2. Double Cross!: Why did Pillsbury knock out the female commando? Did he hate Kaufman? Was she evil? That whole scene was weird.

  3. A Deluxe Apartment in the Skyyyyyyy…: Why didn’t any of the “poor” people take over some of the other high rises that flanked Fiddler’s Green? It looked like there was room for everybody and then some.

So yeah. Light years ahead of Day, but I’m really not sure how we got to Land from Day.

But man, that’s some quality gore.

1 I thought they established pretty well that there are zombies constantly shambling outside the city. Big Daddy just rounded them up for the assault on the city.

2 Pillsbury understood that Dennis Hopper was a bad guy. The girl was still going to follow orders and complicate what our heroes were trying to do. So our big Samoan friend knocked her ass out.

3 Good question. I would assume that those high rises are pretty much stripped of anything useful… and who’s to say the poor don’t live in them to some extent. No real good answer to this one.

Right, but Big Daddy went trhough the water. There aren’t going to be any more zombies on the water side to round up.

4

No reason there couldn’t have been a few underwater.

Also, anyone they killed but didn’t maul too badly was added to their numbers, remember that anyone who dies comes back a zombie in the Romeroverse.

I assumed that his movement gained followers as it moved from the small town where it started towards the city. Other zombies saw them and just tagged along. Not like they had anything better to do…

And Romero’s on record that we shouldn’t try to impose a strict continuity between the films, appearances to the contrary.
