The Original DAWN had running Zombies

[DjfunkmasterG]

My take on that is they're kids, and kids don't take direction that well. Not true. Those kids were at least 8 years old and I have worked with younger and the same age and they do ok. Anything less than 5 is a waste.

Just because they're 8 doesn't mean they're easy to work with. Anybody younger than 15 is a pain in the ass. But some kids take direction really well, while others are set on their own agenda. I've recently found that on a project I've been working on for BBC Local TV recently, with kids of various ages, from scamps to almost-adults.

Two untrained (and probably unpaid) child actors, who in all likelyhood had ZERO idea of what a GAR zombie actually is, then proceed to "run" a distance of what ... one metre? Big deal! DJ beat me to the punch responding to this, but there is no doubt in my mind that George told those kids to run out of that doorway, and then run towards Ken. Otherwise they wouldn't have been able to get the drop on him. Has anyone gone back and validated my claim that there were running zombies in the original NOTLD?

Has anyone gone back and validated my claim that there were running zombies in the original NOTLD? I did. The first ghoul you see is a runner.

There's a swift patter and then there's full blown running. The kids were moving swiftly, kids can run a damn sight faster than that. Running zombies are Yawn04 style going for gold sprinters. If anything those kids are "jogging zombies".

Yeah, it's hairy.......kiss it you Hack Snyder zombie wanna-bes!!!!! bitches ....no, wait,.......running zombie bitches!!!

I did. The first ghoul you see is a runner. I am referring to this shot that I mentioned earlier in the thread. The original Night of the Livng Dead featured running zombies as well. If you look closely in the wide shot when Ben is running back to the house with the torch, one or two of the zombies are damn near sprinting.

[DjfunkmasterG]

Here's the deal......Hack Snyder sucks. Period. Matter of opinion. I have respect for the man because he could have made Uwe Boll House of the Dead, instead he turned out something quite enjoyable. It seems the movie going public agreed because it made $60,000,000 in it's theatrical run.

Who cares? It's a movie.

[DjfunkmasterG]

Who cares? It's a movie. It is just my time to razz the people who razz on DAWN 04 because of running zombies. People saying the movie stinks because it changed the zombie mythos from the original in regards to zombie mobility. Originally it started out as a weird trivia fact track that I found on IMDB and thought was incorrect, but when I sat back to think about it... The Trivia fact was right. It is just a little fun in razzing people. LDB, we all have a go at each other over this and it is just fun. If it bothers you all apologies, but this is a subject everyone wants to take a bite out of from time to time.

You're right that it can be entertaining every now and again. It's still garbage compared to Romero's, you have to admit that. I still check it out every now and again when it's on STARZ or something. Romero's shamblers are still my favorites and the 60 yard dash zombies of "Dawn04" are pretty stupid in my opinion.....but it still makes for a half-way decent popcorn flick. IT could have been alot worse. I just hope that kids these days realize that it's a remake and they give the original a chance. You seem to like the sprinting zombies alot, DJ. Are there any in "Deadlands"? Speaking of, I'm looking forward to your home movie. I'll be purchasing a copy...
