Zombieland Rules

Zombieland 2 is now out to purchase on home media here in the UK and to celebrate we thought it would be useful to collect together all the rules from the franchise in case we need them for a zombie apocalypse.

NB- In the original trailers some of these rules were assigned different numbers- the numbers listed are how they appear in the film. There's also some rules which weren't used in the films but are included in the promotional material.

#1: Cardio. "Zombies lead a very active lifestyle. So should you".

#2: Double Tap.

#3: Beware of Bathrooms.

#4: Seatbelts. "It's gonna be a bumpy ride."

#6: Cast Iron Skillet. (This one isn't in the films but it is in this promotional video)


#7: Travel Light. 

#8: Get a Kick-ass Partner. (Another not from the film but used in the poster seen below)



#12: Bounty. (Only in promotional video)


#15. Bowling Ball (In promo video)



#17: Don't be a Hero. (This became 'Be a Hero' later on in Zombieland)

#18: Limber Up. 

#21: Avoid Strip Clubs (As seen in this poster)


#22: When in doubt, know your way out. 

#31: Check the Back Seat. 

#32: Enjoy the little things.

#33: Swiss Army Knife (In Promo Vid)


#52: Don't be afraid to ask for help.

That's not all! In a deleted scene we were given an alternate #2: Ziploc Bags:



This list is only the tip of the iceberg with Double Tap telling us there are now 73 rules but of course most have never been discussed on screen. If there is ever a Zombieland 3 maybe we'll get a few more...

Michael Giacchino and his Many Puns

Michael Giacchino is one of Hollywood's most in demand composers who has worked on massive franchises like Planet of the Apes, Star Trek and huge studios like Pixar and Marvel. He's next big project is the score for Matt Reeves' The Batman . What you might not know is that Giacchino loves to uses puns when he gives titles to his scores… Giacchino's big movie break came with The Incredibles and on the whole has fairly typical titles for it's soundtrack. It's final track which plays over the title credits is 'The Incredits'. It's 2009's Star Trek where the puns really come out with tracks including 'Enterprising Young Men', 'Nice to Meld You' and 'Does It Still McFly?'. Giacchino also got a lot of mileage out of the character Nero using his names for tracks entitled 'Nero Sighted', 'Nero Death Experience' and 'Nero Fiddles, Narada Burns'. He received quite a lot of criticism online for these ...

Doctor Dolittle on Screen

Dolittle hits UK cinema screens this week, starring Robert Downey Jr as the famous doctor who can converse with animals, with a slightly odd Welsh accent. Doctor Dolittle was the central character of a series of children's books by Hugh Lofting, starting with The Story of Doctor Dolittle in 1920. Lofting actually created Dolittle in illustrated letters to his children from the trenches of World War I when actual news was either too dull or too horrible. There have been a number of screen adaptions over the years but the first was in 1928 in Germany. Early animation pioneer Lotte Reiniger made Doktor Dolittle und seine Tiere  ( Doctor Dolittle and his Animals ) as her second feature film. This trailer for a DVD version gives you some idea what it looked like: The doctor didn't return to screens until 1967 when he was portrayed by Rex Harrison in a musical version. It may seem odd that it took so long for a live-action film to be made but when you consider the books ar...
