This, coming from a huge fan of The Bad News Bears and The Thing? Come on! Actually, both were written by the same guy--Bill Lancaster. If only GAR could've learned to write screenplays like Bill....

If only GAR could've learned to write screenplays like Bill.... Are you serious? I hope the "rolleyes" was an admition of jest.

so if the movies are connected and all dead people return to life, then why is it in dawn of the dead (remake) andre and that old woman were shooting eachother and killed one another. they didn't come back, and they had no head shots.

Uhm... Are you... Are you serious? The Dawn of the Dead REMAKE, has nothing to do with the originals. This has been explained X number of times already. There's two Dawn of the Dead films. The one you are referring to is just a re-imagenation of the original Dawn of the Dead and has running zombies or not. There's noway that Dawn 04 takes place in the same timeline as the others.

lol....that explains a lot. now i shall burn snyder's remake.

Day comes roughly a year after the outbreak kicked off, therefore when you think about it, when we join Day it'll be a matter of a few months after the end of Dawn (as Dawn takes place over a few months itself). Day of the Dead however takes place over a matter of days.

Well, as has been pointed out before--it's obvious that Night takes place in the springtime, due to the fact that they're talking about getting an extra hour of daylight in the evening just before Bill Hinzman makes his appearance. And, Dawn is supposed to take place about three weeks after Night--hence the "You haven't listened to the situation for three weeks!" or something or another in the opening credits montage. Day--well, I always figured it was a period of several months ("You're just proving theories that were advanced months ago...."). As for Land...I believe it was a period of a couple of years--maybe three (according to dialogue in the film). But, this timeline is moot due to the fact that each film reflects the decade it was produced in. Oh, and as for Bill Lancaster--he's a better screenwriter at breakfast than GAR is all day, Adrenochrome.

i can't believe someone is actually attempting to explain these things!!! go rent the original movies!!!!!!!!!!! then watch them!!!!!!!!! go up to the films section of this website, get the right ones, then watch them! also frans pregnency fits in with my theory, i do say dawn is by far the biggest spanning at least 6 months. if you look at the calendars on the wall in the group's hideout in dawn, you see that they are only in the mall for around three months...

if you look at the calendars on the wall in the group's hideout in dawn, you see that they are only in the mall for around three months... IPOTTS it took 3 months to film the movie!! for a pregnnant woman to begin showing as much as Fran was at the end is a minimum of 6 months! I have 2 kids..... it's common knowledge, wake up bud .... Stephen actually says, she's only along a couple of months, the first night they holed up in the mall, when Peter offers to abort it ...I think maybe you should watch it again, and then maybe you should google preganancy...

We know how to stop and prevent world hunger, yet we do nothing. Part of preventing world hunger is birth control. We have billions of people and only so much arible land. When you talk about us Americans and our extravagant lifes, think about the poor of the world and their seven to ten kids they can't feed. But still have. M_ (heartless b*tch)

The fact that the films reflect what was happening in the decade they were made in has no impact on the overall plot of the movie. It just means that on screen fashions and tech changes - but it's all part of the same timeline. The "what was happening in that decade" is for us the viewer to watch. The people in the timeline of the movies are unaware of any of that, to them fashion or technology hasn't changed at all. It's just something for the viewer. As for the whole time of year thing, I don't think GAR really paid much attention to it at all, the time of year the films were shot were just the times of year that they were ready to shoot on their personal schedule.
