#1 - Getting reception for New York City radio stations is easier than you'd think on the island of Matool. #2 - Molotov cocktails are easy to ignite, but the flames they produce rarely stay lit if you're throwing more than one at a time. #3 - Dr. Menard likes his booze and laying, fully clothed, in the sun (in that order.) #4 - If a shark with no teeth decides to get into a ridiculous scuffle with an underwater zombie, chances are it's going to end in a draw. #5 - NYC harbor patrol boats often fly French flags. #6 - The perfect remedy for having a busted ankle while being chased by legions of undead assailants is a good 'ole fashioned jungle makeout session. #7 - A dozen zombies shuffling into a door will (eventually and without any explanation) smash any barricade. #8 - Apparently, there are many different ways to scuba dive I've yet to try. #9 - Hospitals that look like churches are often well stocked in the ammo department (why not?) #10 - Splinters make eyeballs go "ouch!" #11 - The simple act of bribing a cabbie equals instant zombie adventure.
You can't account for personal taste, because it's all subjective, so I'm going to steer clear of any and all "this movie is great and you suck if you don't like it and I'll kick you twice in the rear if you do and, um... your momma and your dog and here's 15 reasons why I love being a film student" silliness that seems to be an IMDb staple.
What I will say is that this film is amazing. The zombies are great looking, the plot is ridiculous and full of holes, the music is stunning in its' elevator-esqueness, and Ian McCullough's combover is the stuff that dreams are made of. I read somewhere on IMDb that this film "wouldn't gain any converts to the genre," but I strongly disagree. This film firmly cemented my lifelong love of all things horror and is, in my humble and worthless opinion, most likely the greatest film ever made - so take that "Mom and Dad Save the World!"
