I have a question about Dr. Logan.

[MinionZombie]

Also - Logan was in the freezer at the time, perhaps being stuck in a freezer slows things down a bit *taps nose, points finger* ahhhhhh. Plus it could just be artistic license - you couldn't have Day without poor Bub discovering his once alive, now dead friend, master and 'father'. As for the squib idea, I know I wouldn't be too keen on putting an exploding device on the head of an older bloke ... although he was riddled with squibs on his torso, but that's nowhere near as potentially dangerous with padding and so forth. I'll go for "the freezer slowed reanimation / artistic license / GAR isn't as much of a perfectionist geek like we all are" path.

I think his bad acting caused the zombie magic not to work because he couldn't "pull it off".

[FleshMask]

Logan seemed too "homebodied" to actually get up and move... Just like G4TV fans...!

[kar98k]

yeah im gonna go with the 'some people reanimate faster than others' theory. also, minions got a point about the artistic license. day wouldnt be day without bub finding Logan dead. besides, day was probably the worst of the dead quadrology so, why not just cut him some slack on that one

[Eyebiter]

In the Romero universe not everyone revives as a zombie right away. The amount of time to rise could depend on the amount of exposure to the zombie virus. A corpse that dies by gunshot or natural causes might take hours to revive, while someone torn to pieces by zombies might rise in a matter of minutes. Assuming Logan became an undead, with that many shots to the torso there is a good chance the spinal cord would have been damaged. Perhaps Dr. Logan would have reanimated as a crawling zombie.

All very good points.

Zactly, he was shot down and never bitten. He was lying in a freezer - which would surely further slow things down - and the virus itself is beginning to lose some power ... and throw in a dash of artistic license and we have an answer folks!

[general tbag]

just look at the little girl in night of the living dead, how many hours did it take for her to turn after bitten... probaly the longest person to turn from a bite in the whole series. btw gar has influenced on alot of people. it even more apparent in land as dennis hopper and john leguizamo acting in it. it wasnt a big budget film, but known actors join a low to mid budget flick just to work with the dude shows alot.

[BUTCHYPIE]

Interesting note: the Wikipedia entry for 'Day of the Dead' says the following under film trivia: The only film in Romero's dead series which does not show a person being bitten by a zombie and returning as a zombie themselves. Fanboys, I can't remember; is this true?

[general tbag]

well there was a bite, but they hacked his arm off.

[roger_19]

funny. in the second commentary form the day of the dead dvd with that other director. He says that he had a dream where Logan returns as a zombie and he sees bub and they recognize each other and they walk away. that would have been cool.

[Danny]

personally, i thought this was to point out that by the time day was happening, the radiation had reduced to a lower level so that no more fresh zombies would rise. of course i could be wrong.. maybe it is radiation that does it and he was just to far underground.

[Lord_Galvatron]

On the DVIMAX edition of DAY if you listen to Roger Avery's fan comentary track, Mr Avery talks about if it would be cool if Dr. Logan came back. It is a nice track to listen from the perspective of the fan. Who know, maybe Logan came back. But then again, he may not and his body (still fresh) was found by the dead and munched on. The same would have happened to Fisher's body. Who knows. It'll be one of the greatest misteries of fudge. Just like the running zombie kids on Dawn. lol

[Philly_SWAT]

Fisher was shot in the head, so I doubt he came back.

[Lord_Galvatron]

Fisher was shot in the head, so I doubt he came back. Sorry, I was referring to Fisher's body being eaten, not Fisher becoming a zombie. I apologize, I wasn't clear enough!
