Think the sequel to Zombieland was okay, maybe not as entertaining as the first but a decent movie. If you are looking for films to review, might I suggest the original Smokey and the Bandit. Some great performances from Burt Reynold, Jackie Gleason, Sally Field, and Jerry Reed. Plus some great car chase and crashes from the era of real stunt action films. Also for a little comedy musical fun, you might enjoy The Blues Brothers with John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd. Equally fun car chases, great musical performances from some legends of music industry, and a very funny Carrie Fisher!
The "Evil Dead" series, which includes "Army Of Darkness", are cult classics. Humor with some gore. If I remember right,there's less of the graphic stuff in those movies.
I just wanted to say I think you two do a really good job on judging and reacting to these movies and I think you're both really pretty but I think I have a crush on Michelle but it's too bad I'm and old, overweight, hairy and sweaty Italian...oh!well.😏🥺
Fun Fact: Patrick Swayze was offered a cameo role as a zombie before his cancer diagnosis. His scene would have parodied other Patrick Swayze movies like "Ghost" and "Dirty Dancing". Zombie cameo roles were also offered to Joe Pesci, Mark Hamill, Dwayne Johnson, Kevin Bacon, Jean-Claude Van Damme and Matthew McConaughey. Also, Zombieland is a love letter to zombie movies. It embraces the fandom around it along with the troupes and "rules" of the genre. It's the zombie equivalent to the original "Scream".
4:02 You ask about the first zombie movie.. "White Zombie" (1932) is often cited as the first zombie film. However, the zombie film genre as we know it today originate in "Night of the Living Dead" (1968).. As for "stories" more generally, however, the idea goes way back in time. The word "zombie" comes most directly from haitian folklore, in which context it means a corpse, reanimated through magic, for the purpose (I believe, though wikipedia does not mention it) of serving as a kind of slave.. Other than that, the idea of an "army" or horde of living deads, can be traced as far back as to clay tablets from ancient mesopotamia.. Which is just to say it goes AT LEAST as far back as that. Whatever other stories might have been told before then, that we just don't know about. (Ref. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zombie)
While the idea of zombies has been around for a while the 60's movie "Night of the Living Dead" is considered the father of the modern zombie genre. Also as Elvis fans you should give Zombieland: Double Tap a watch since there are serious Elvis references.
Night of the living dead is not the father of zombies George romero is a fraud zombies weren't even his idea edward halperin is the actual father of zombies night of the living dead came out in 1968 while edward halperins white zombie came out in 1932
Just throwing it out there......"Shawn of the Dead" It's a comedy very much in the same vein as Zombieland, but from a British perspective. It is also the first movie in the Cornetto Trilogy which is worth a watch.
Michelle I believe 1st zombie movie was the 1968's "Night of the Living Dead" directed by legendary director, George A Romero. It was filmed in Pittsburg, Pennsylvania. Romero stepped in for iconic Fred Rogers of Mister Rogers' Neighborhood while Fred recovered from surgery early in his career.
twinkies during an apocalypse is lowkey genius, that shit never goes out of date. I remember finding one in my dads apartment went I went back to see him that had been there since I had moved out 2-3 years ago. One to always try new things, it didn't taste like a twinkie anymore, but it hadn't gone bad either. If you are just looking for something, and most food is going to go bad unless you are hunting, there is worst then the highly processed twinkie w/more additives then actual food.
Man, I remember watching this movie alone and absolutely loving it. My friend came around an hour later and I told him I've watched it and loved it, and asked him if he wants to see it. He said sure, but wouldn't it be dumb for me to watch it again so soon? I said it was fine with me. After we've seen it he turned to me and said, "I see now why you wanted to see it again, I could watch it again right now" :D A great move, one of my favorites.
White Zombie Instead, the distinction of being the first zombie movie is usually awarded to Victor Halperin's 1932 opus, White Zombie. Starring Bela Lugosi, this film defined the basic parameters of 'zombieness' which would be in place prior to Romero's appearance on the scene.
What is the shelf life of a Twinkie?? "You don’t have to refrigerate unopened Twinkies if you’re going to eat them within 25 days". 😯 Shocked? So was I.
People will credit Romero’s night of the living dead (1960’s) as the first zombie movie where it features people coming back to the dead and eating the living. Before then, people coming back from the dead was always black magic or voodu related. But it was a movie from the 30’s called White Zombie that first introduced the word zombie to films.
“Some how they could just smell it”…I couldn’t stop laughing 😂 after watching that part. I haven’t seen this yet and now I’m gonna rent this out and watch it myself. Thanks for this video guys!
Such a great horror comedy. Woody Harrelson is awesome as alway. I’m not a big fan of Jesse Eisenburg but he was good in this. I gotta say ladies, the BEST horror comedy of all time is “Return of the Living Dead” from 1985. Please consider it. You won’t regret it.
The first living dead movie was the George Romero 1968 classic "Night Of The Living Dead" The first zombie movie was the 1932's "White Zombie". The reason i make the distinction is that the idea that we have of zombies is from NOTLD and not the White Zombie ones. Also, in the "Night..." they only eat brains (that stayed for a long time until they went full cannibals), hence the joke of zombies saying "braaiinns".
Actually Return of the Living Dead is the source of zombies eating brains. The Romero films just had zombies eating people, all of people. John A. Russo (Romero's partner on Night) went off to make his own films when he didn't like what George Romero was doing with the films. He started the zombies eating only brains trope. I prefer the Romero films.
Simon Pegg...Nick Frost...Edgar Wright...I invoke the Cornetto trilogy! Given your kind of humour, I think you'll like it. As for myself, I recommend a movie from 1999, directed by Chris Columbus, with one Robin Williams at the helm: Bicentennial man, which is my favorite movie.
The first zombie movies were in black and white and were more focused as voodoo victims not flesh/brain eaters. White Zombie (1932) was the first starring Bela Lugosi. It wasn't until the 60's that the flesh eating zombie hit the screen.
I think the first zombie film was the 1932 film, White Zombie but it is definitely not like the flesh eating zombies that we are use too. I think the first flesh eating zombie film, is George A Romero's 1968 Night of the Living Dead.
You two are so fun! Sorry it took me so long to subscribe. I’ve watched a number of your reactions. Airplane, The Karate Kid are a couple of my favorites.
First modern zombie film that established the genre was probably George Romero’s films. But “restless”/“unquiet” dead have been tropes in going back to Chinese “hopping” corpses, Lovecraft’s Re-animator, the 19th century, Mary Shelley, and very probably even much earlier than that since to gothic fiction, no?
George Romero's Night of the Living Dead created the living dead zombie. Zombie movies before him were about people under voo-doo curses having their minds controlled.
The first scene at the gas station is actually morrow ga about two miles from where I grew up. Still remember driving by that insurance office he crashes into
Night of the Living Dead is the first modern zombie movie and set the rules about zombies for years before the fast zombie was created. RIP Uncle George
Great fucking reaction ladies, it was pleasing to see your laughter threw out (from start to finish)! I saw this film in theaters, It's one of my favorite zombie films, and yes, the sequel is worth watching. Victor Halpern's "White Zombie" staring Bela Lugosi in 1932 defined the basic parameters fof "zombieness". Night of the living Dead was my first ever zombie movie, and probably is the more well know zombie movies of all time, released in1968 (George A. Romero 1968-1985)!
Okay, I have a story involving this movie. I spent my Thanksgiving 2010 with my family at my Aunt and Uncle’s house in Mt. Pleasant, SC. After dinner, my uncle was telling a story from Halloween to my Mom, another Aunt of mine, her son, her two daughters, and myself. He explained that he was on treat duty. As he went to give a group of kids candy, he looks at their chaperone who’s standing on the sidewalk. As he’s doing so, he starts asking himself,”That guy looks so familiar.” After some thought, he thinks,”Wait, is that Bill Murray?” Murray has ownership in the Charleston Riverdogs, the local baseball team, and does a number of appearances at games for promotional events. Apparently, he has/had a house just down the street from them. Well, I popped. My mom popped. My other aunt popped. Her two daughters popped. Then…..there was….The Boy. As we’re losing it at the thought of Bill Murray chaperoning kids on Halloween, he’s looking around and asking,”Who’s Bill Murray?” We’re all stunned. So, we’re spouting off movie titles like “Ghostbusters”, “Stripes”, and “Caddyshack” but he still has no clue. After realizing his age, I bring up “Groundhog Day” which still doesn’t register. That’s when I thought,”I’ve never hit a kid before.” That’s when I realized I went through a real life recreation of the scene here at Bill Murray’s house. It gets better though. I was working as a referee for independent wrestling and one of the guys, who now works for IMPACT Wrestling, did shows with was a huge fan of the movie. So, I knew he’d get a kick out of this. When I mentioned Bill Murray, he popped. I finished the story and his comment was,”Hey, you ever seen Zombieland?” I looked at him with confusion as I said,”Yeah. Why do you think I told you this story?” After a few moments, he looked at me and said,”Oh, yeah.”
Dawn of the Dead (1978 original version). They fit some humor into the movie, but not nearly as much as Zombieland. Dawn of the Dead is my favorite, and was by George A. Romero. He is probably single-handedly responsible for making zombie movies "a thing". They existed before, but he made them popular. In that one, just remember, the blood is just tempera paint. Watching this would not fit in your Summer of Fun, but it would fill in some movie history. Night of the Dead (1968) was also Romero, but there is certainly no fun in that one.
No, the fake Hummer (they are a Chevy Tahoe base with an overly large body on it) is a poor choice since they get terrible gas mileage, at 11 to 12 MPG. If I recall, the most of the movie was shot in Georgia.
So, this was supposed to be a TV series, but the executives nixed it. So they changed the script, added the humor, and made it a movie. Then, about a week later, The Walking Dead came out. Anyway, great reaction as always. I think you'll like second movie "Double Tap". And I believe there's a third in the works, bur I'm not sure.
First zombie movie? I believe it is The Last Man alive, released in 1964 and starring Vincent Price. It would be later remade with Charlton Heston and called The Omega Man, and later with Will Smith and called I am Legend. The book that started it all is suppose to be I am Legend by writer, Richard Matheson published in 1954. Great review of a fun zombie comedy. Thanks FOL!
Best zombie stuff is coming out of Korea - in the same way that the best shows are coming from korea and it isn't even close. Train to Busan and Kingdom are fantastic.
This is one of my favorite zombie movies and I love all the classics but this one is up there. The second zombie land is hilarious also and they’re all in it.
One of the funniest horror comedy movies ever made, and one of my personal favorites. Amber Heard is in the movie, and when she turns into a zombie, it reveals her true self.
I will admit I did watch The Walking Dead up until Andrew Lincoln left the show, but not into the zombie genre normally, but I did have fun with this movie with the humor poking at zombie tropes 😂 Woody is awesome in almost any comedy he does .. Not a big fan of Eisenberg, but did an admirable job and the ladies were fantastic especially Emma Stone. Fantastic reaction 🍿ladies !! 👩🏻🦰😇👩🏻🦰😇 ❤ I commented this morning , but I don’t know 🤷🏻♂️ what happened ?❓?
@@Sickwithit355 If they can run, talk, exercise reason, drive a car, operate a radio, mutually cooperate, survive a brain shot, ... it's a spoof. Canon is canon. Still a good movie though.
You should watch "An American Werewolf in London", from 1980, the first movie that mixes real horror with comedy. And the script was written in 1968, just imagine if it had been made back then
Pleasant Reaction! 👏 🖒 This movie sort of came out from left field at the time (early 2000's). The time of when horror movies were peaking within the supernatural era phase of the genre. Definitely a well warranted change up which leads one to believe that we need more quality horror comedies out there! Believe Night of the Living Dead (1968 B&W Version) was the first full length feature zombie film. Love the 90's remake as well starring Patricia Tallman (Star Trek) and Tony Todd (Candyman). Classic campy horror right there, which has unfortunately become a lost forgotten relic to the times.
Great reaction, and this is a fun movie. Lots of gore and humor. Double Tap is also worth a watch. I also think you might enjoy Anna and the Apocalypse. It's from the same director as Shaun of The Dead, and it's a musical. Very entertaining.
I used to keep anacondas, among other reptiles. I have trouble with movies like "Anaconda" because of the unrealistic presentation needed to make them scary.
This is such a great movie for any and all horror fans to enjoy because of the meta jokes that point out the concerns and issues that take place in every movie within the genre but also the humor was top notch that clearly rivaled The Hangover back in 2009. The Twinkies were a subtle yet brilliant hint of foreshadowing as to what to expect later on in the movie. This is one of Woody Harrelson’s best performances in my honest opinion and really loved Emma Stone in this one as well. I don’t mind Abigail Breslin and can’t stand Jesse Eisenberg which is why i only watch Zombieland and nothing else of his filmography. 7.5 and three stars all the way! #Zombieland #WoodyHarrelson #HostessTwinkies
I originally didn't want to see this back in the day. Don't know why, maybe a zombie comedy didn't appeal to me. Finally saw it like 5 years ago on my nephew's recommendation & really liked it. And I've seen it like 4 or 5 times since. Jesse Eisenberg is funny as hell, Emma Stone is beautiful here and great acting all around. 2 was also good, but not as good as the original. There is one character change (Little Rock), but the rest of the cast is the same
Now that you have enjoy this one, next up would be the classic "Shaun of the Dead" from 2004. Like the three films in the Cornetto Trilogy, with the other two being "Hot Fuzz" (2007) and "The World's End" (2013), there are multiple ways to see the aspects of this film. The best way to see these features is in Filmjoy's detailed breakdown of the film from 5 years ago. It can be viewed here: ruclips.net/video/y1wm8pzBWOs/видео.html. He has also done the other two films in the trilogy as well.
@@ForceOfLightEntertainment Depends on the scene, but I'd say less. There is only one stand-out moment that is a bit gory, but it's quick. Still a funny and great film. Very much like the classic "Evil Dead 2 - Dead by Dawn", though that is more the Three Stooges meet the Living Dead, and its sequel, "Army of Darkness", which is more slapstick.
@shannonherb2048 I typed in haste. Never stated "monster" but should have clarified "Frankenstein's Creation". Point was that all were post-mortem beings. Supernatural or Scientific they wore the same jacket as any variant of Zombie.... fictional and fantasy based
Sorry for some the freezing. We fixed the problem for future videos. Share your thoughts, subscribe and give the video a 👍🏻
More zombie movies 😊
Think the sequel to Zombieland was okay, maybe not as entertaining as the first but a decent movie. If you are looking for films to review, might I suggest the original Smokey and the Bandit.

Zombieland is a love letter to zombie movies. It embraces the fandom around it along with the troupes and rules of the genre
Tallahassee is possibly the greatest zombie killer of all time.
At least it embraces men being in charge. Embraces the more women try and be equal, they still lose to men 😉😊
Yeah, I’d consider it more of a loving homage to zombie films, rather than making fun of them.
The #3 painted on doors was to honor NASCAR legend Dale "The Intimidator" Earnhardt, who actually died on the final lap of a Daytona 500 race

Zombieland - when you're dying to kick back and watch a fun zombie movie for amusement. 😇
1932 Victor Halperin's "White Zombie" starring Bela Legosi is billed as the first Zombie movie. "Night of the Living Dead" wasn't made until 1968.
Great reaction 😎👍I think you two would enjoy the movie "Tucker and Dale vs Evil" if you haven't seen it yet 😀
I agree. Tucker and Dale is a ton of fun and jump scares! Hilarious!

The first living dead movie was the George Romero 1968 classic "Night Of The Living Dead"
The first zombie movie was the 1932's "White Zombie".
The reason i make the distinction is that the idea that we have of zombies is from NOTLD and not the White Zombie ones.
Also, in the "Night..." they only eat brains (that stayed for a long time until they went full cannibals), hence the joke of zombies saying "braaiinns".
Actually Return of the Living Dead is the source of zombies eating brains. The Romero films just had zombies eating people, all of people. John A.

Nice fun movie, took me awhile to realize The Social Network guy was in it. Harrelson was just funny.

The first modern zombie story was actually in the original French language Smurf books.
I totally agree with Woody about the coconut bit.

Amber Heard is in the movie, and when she turns into a zombie, it reveals her true self.
😂😂
If only Johnny Depp had watched this movie before his wedding. Could have saved himself so much pain, and money!🤣
She's hot but so it's OK
She wasn't cast in the movie, she was just passing through the set and the cameras happened to be rolling. 😂
Big Woody fan here.❤
I will admit I did watch The Walking Dead up until Andrew Lincoln left the show, but not into the zombie genre normally, but I did have fun with this movie with the humor poking at zombie tropes 😂 Woody is awesome in almost any comedy he does .. Not a big fan of Eisenberg, but did an admirable job and the ladies were fantastic especially Emma Stone.
Fantastic reaction 🍿ladies !! 👩🏻🦰😇👩🏻🦰😇 ❤
I commented this morning , but I don’t know 🤷🏻♂️ what happened ?❓?
I love Zombieland. It's probably my fave zombie movie.
With Metallica opening 🤘🏽😎
The first zombie movie is 1969’s “Night of the Living Dead”.
1of The smartest zombie Comedies ever
The first Zombie movie was early 1960's "Night of the Living Dead". Awesome film.
If you haven't seen it, 28 Days Later is a beautiful example of a zombie movie.
Zombieland 2 is definitely worth a watch.
the very first zombie movie was "THE NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD" by George A. Romero
I love these wacky zombie spoofs where zombies can run.😂 Zombieland, Train To Busan, World War Z, hilarious!😂
Yeah because it's automatically a spoof because they can run. You're special.
@@Sickwithit355 If they can run, talk, exercise reason, drive a car, operate a radio, mutually cooperate, survive a brain shot, ... it's a spoof. Canon is canon. Still a good movie though.
You should watch "An American Werewolf in London", from 1980, the first movie that mixes real horror with comedy. And the script was written in 1968, just imagine if it had been made back then
Zombieland is awesome and fun film. I'm glad you both enjoyed it.
It really is! Thanks!
Pleasant Reaction! 👏 🖒
This movie sort of came out from left field at the time (early 2000's). The time of when horror movies were peaking within the supernatural era phase of the genre. Definitely a well warranted change up which leads one to believe that we need more quality horror comedies out there!
Believe Night of the Living Dead (1968 B&W Version) was the first full length feature zombie film. Love the 90's remake as well starring Patricia Tallman (Star Trek) and Tony Todd (Candyman). Classic campy horror right there, which has unfortunately become a lost forgotten relic to the times.
On the death and destruction level of Blues Brothers and Terminator! I've gotta know.... who's older? The Bill Murray Cameo may be the best ever!
I don't usually creep, but red: Do you know that you're a 10? No. an 11!
Nice reaction ! Watch the sequel ! ! ! 😎🌇
First undead story was Dracula
Wait...I forgot Jesus Christ and Resurrection.
First EVER Zombie story!
Great reaction, and this is a fun movie. Lots of gore and humor. Double Tap is also worth a watch. I also think you might enjoy Anna and the Apocalypse. It's from the same director as Shaun of The Dead, and it's a musical. Very entertaining.
what's going on with the top of your hair? Great react =p
I used to keep anacondas, among other reptiles. I have trouble with movies like "Anaconda" because of the unrealistic presentation needed to make them scary.
This is such a great movie for any and all horror fans to enjoy because of the meta jokes that point out the concerns and issues that take place in every movie within the genre but also the humor was top notch that clearly rivaled The Hangover back in 2009. The Twinkies were a subtle yet brilliant hint of foreshadowing as to what to expect later on in the movie. This is one of Woody Harrelson’s best performances in my honest opinion and really loved Emma Stone in this one as well. I don’t mind Abigail Breslin and can’t stand Jesse Eisenberg which is why i only watch Zombieland and nothing else of his filmography. 7.5 and three stars all the way! #Zombieland #WoodyHarrelson #HostessTwinkies
I think George a. Romero started zombie genre with night of the living dead. A good zombie series is return of the living dead or for tv, walking dead
I originally didn't want to see this back in the day. Don't know why, maybe a zombie comedy didn't appeal to me. Finally saw it like 5 years ago on my nephew's recommendation & really liked it. And I've seen it like 4 or 5 times since. Jesse Eisenberg is funny as hell, Emma Stone is beautiful here and great acting all around. 2 was also good, but not as good as the original. There is one character change (Little Rock), but the rest of the cast is the same
Shaun of the Dead a British Film
Shaun of the dead, evil dead 2, army of darkness, ash vs evil dead, toxic avenger
Congrats. The 2 of you lovely femme fatales deserve to be on Santa's nice list in December
Thank you!!
@@ForceOfLightEntertainment yeah
ANOTHER GOOD ONE IS SILVER STREAK WITH GENE WILDER AND RICHARD PRYOR , A GREAT MOVIE
Zombieland is more of a coming of age comedy film, set in the Zombie apocalypse.
You should watch Bill Murray in Larger than Life 😂😅
Force always fullfills me...🤗 Im not worthy..😆
Now that you have enjoy this one, next up would be the classic "Shaun of the Dead" from 2004. Like the three films in the Cornetto Trilogy, with the other two being "Hot Fuzz" (2007) and "The World's End" (2013), there are multiple ways to see the aspects of this film. The best way to see these features is in Filmjoy's detailed breakdown of the film from 5 years ago. It can be viewed here: ruclips.net/video/y1wm8pzBWOs/видео.html. He has also done the other two films in the trilogy as well.
How bloody is Shaun of the Dead compared to this movie?
@@ForceOfLightEntertainment Depends on the scene, but I'd say less. There is only one stand-out moment that is a bit gory, but it's quick. Still a funny and great film. Very much like the classic "Evil Dead 2 - Dead by Dawn", though that is more the Three Stooges meet the Living Dead, and its sequel, "Army of Darkness", which is more slapstick.
Subscribed!!!
Can just click the seatbelt in behind you to avoid the alarm.
If you enjoyed this you might also like "Warm Bodies" and "Shaun Of The Dead." I hope that "Zombie Land 2" is good, but I haven't watched it yet.
Yeah. Him on the motorcycle. I've been there. Shoulda took the car.
This is the only zombie movie i like...look forward to your reactions! It's very gory tho!
nice reaction
This is the only zombie movie my bitch ass am willing to rewatch on a consistent basis!! Such a great movie and cast!
Dracula, Frankenstein AND The Mummy...ALL ZOMBIES!!
Frankenstein wasn't a monster. He is just monster.
@shannonherb2048 I typed in haste. Never stated "monster" but should have clarified "Frankenstein's Creation".
Point was that all were post-mortem beings.
Supernatural or Scientific they wore the same jacket as any variant of Zombie.... fictional and fantasy based
@JayStar-yj9pu all good. Some folks don't know that.
12 days til' the 4th of July celebration 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
Love this movie! So funny! Great reaction and review!
Thank you so much 😁
You're welcome! 😊
