ZOMBIELAND (2009) | MOVIE REACTION | FIRST TIME WATCHING

[@Scott-ec4cs]

Fun fact: it was originally pitched as a TV series. If that had happened, the Zombie Kill Of The Week was supposed to happen every episode.

[@alrokx13]

They actually did the tv series but sadly after pilot aired, was not picked. I was lucky enough to see pilot on Prime in 2013

[@tokubenanimations6506]

That would've been fun to see

[@meghanmonroe]

I'd totes still tune in for a TV series. Even with a new cast.

[@brandenharvey9817]

​@@alrokx13I enjoyed the pilot. Too bad it wasn't picked up.

[@alrokx13]

@@brandenharvey9817 agreed, had potential if given a better chance

[@DrLipkin]

One of my favorite easter eggs in this movie is at the supermarket. They're so distracted by killing zombies and meeting the girls that they walk right past some Twinkies on a shelf.

[@callmeshaggy5166]

Apparantly there are several Twinkies laying around in plain sight throughout the movie

[@Pokeysaurus]

My favorite part that I figured out was when Columbus writes down “Enjoy the little things” it’s the next number after “Check the back seat”…which would imply that he wrote *that* one down immediately after the opening sequence when he has a zombie in the back seat.

[@Beluga_Too]

OH NO i had no idea and i've watched this movie like 15 times.

[@JakkFrost1]

10:34 on later viewings, that little pause before Tallahassee says puppy is so obviously indicative that he changed what he was going to say, that one wonders how one missed it the first time. An excellent moment in a movie full of them.

[@chuckmanion1128]

I love that the biggest jumpscare was the bathroom clown. Well, we know Addie's big fear now.

[@AddieCounts]

I'm not even really scared of clowns hahaha. It was just a great jump scare!

[@WillsonT011]

​@AddieCounts Either way, it was a great Reaction😂

[@internetsideshow]

🤡

​@@AddieCountswatch anaconda😂

[@ianscomics]

Awesome reaction!

[@bluris1711]

As a European, I was excited when I finally got to try a twinkie. I have never been more disappointed.

[@mrsafi777]

Same.

[@jessecortez9449]

They used to be a lot better. Just like most things in the U.S., the quality dropped once they reached mass production levels to meet popular demand but keep up profits. European variations of American products would likely be closer to the orginal products. Another example, Coca Cola in the U.S. uses artificial sweeteners but I prefer to get Mexican Coca Cola because Mexico still uses natural sugar and still tastes like what the U.S. had decades ago.

[@AddieCounts]

I've never really liked them!

[@wolf9walker]

did you get to try the strawberry filled ones?

[@ricktreat]

@@jessecortez9449 Maybe you're right, but I didn't think much of Twinkies back in the 1960s, either.

[@eddieevans6692]

The Bill Murray part was originally written for Sylvester Stallone but he dropped out just as we were beginning to shoot. The script was rewritten with several other actors in the role, including Mathew McConaughey, but they all, eventually, declined. Finally, as we were shooting and between set-ups, Woody called up an old buddy who was in town (Atlanta) shooting another movie (Get Low). While we all eavesdropped on the conversation, Bill Murray said yes and a few days later we shot his scenes.

[@pvanukoff]

Stallone? Weird. Glad Murray was able to fill in -- perfect choice.

[@eddieevans6692]

The original script actually read pretty good. Stallone came out in his Rocky robe and got shot. But everything actually turned out better with Murray.@@pvanukoff

[@systematic11]

I remember hearing it was actually Patrick Swayze they originally wanted.

[@eddieevans6692]

It's possible. The first script I read had Stallone. Swayze may have already declined by the time it got to me.@@systematic11

[@systematic11]

@@eddieevans6692 I think it was around the time Swayze passed away, so they may have rewritten it to Stallone by that point.

[@moonlitegram]

Its funny, when you were talking about expecting there to be some jump scares in this, I thought to myself "oh she'll be relieved as there really aren't any". I forgot your threshold for jump scares is a lot lower than mine :D

[@corbingarrett1206]

The year this movie was released, I was 16. That summer I took a solo road trip to my uncle's. We spent the whole summer rebuilding my car, engine swap and a whole lot of other stuff, the whole time quoting this movie endlessly. It was awesome. Still have the car too.

[@lurkerrekrul]

8:08 - "Does this draw the zombies out? Your little zombie song..." - Actually, it's a very well known "riff" from the movie Deliverance, and has become virtually synonymous with hillbillies, which Harrelson's character could be considered to be. The line "You got a purty mouth." is also from Deliverance, showing that the character himself was referencing that movie.

[@TheHManShow]

“I gotta take the browns to the Super Bowl” wow I honestly never got that as a kid. That’s comedy genius

[@TheShockninja]

The "3" is a reference to the late NASCAR legend Earnhardt, who Tallahassee (or Woody Harrelson) must be a huge fan of.

[@leojamesclune1730]

Raise hell

[@whotookmikey]

This movie and Shaun of the Dead gotta be my two favorite zombie comedies to watch every October! So glad you watched them both! :)

[@Timmayytoo]

Same... I hate zombies but I love both of those films.

[@Sleeping_Insomiac]

The moment we realize that it wasn't his puppy, though... Yes, it should have been clear from the start, but that scene packed a mean gut punch.

[@stonecoldku4161]

This script was originally written as a TV pilot for a series but not network bought it, so it was turned into a movie script. Had it been a series we would've found out more of Columbus' rules as it went along and had a different Zombie Kill of the Week for each new episode. It also explains why Little Rock and Wichita, who had been shown to be very smart throughout the movie would all of sudden turn stupid and not realize that turning on the amusement park would attract every zombie in the area. They didn't have a "movie ending" in the original TV script.

[@stpetie7686]

Seeing this pop up just made my Monday better. Thanks, Addie. Hope you liked this movie as much as I do.

[@luchts4547]

Was hoping it was time for Serenity but I guess tis the season for spooky movies.

[@IDLERACER]

😜👍 All of the main actors in this film also provided vocal talent for four of my favorite animated movies: "Rio" (2011) "Rango" (2011) "The Croods" (2013) and "Free Birds" (2013).

[@Steventx66]

When the clown popped up under the bathroom door and you got so scared had me cracking up! Great reaction! 🤘😎✌️

[@philshorten3221]

"Bill F... KING Murray... I know that's not really your middle name" Just BRILLIANT!

[@duckducklarry]

Oh my god this movie is so fun. Way better than it had any right being. I have a feeling you're gonna love this! EDIT: I was right!

[@maximillianosaben]

This is one of those movies that I could either watch directly or have on in the background and I'll always be satisfied with choosing it.

[@jinchoung]

a really great, BALANCED movie... little scary, lotta funny, has heart too. really good "horror" movie for people who don't like horror movies. and REALLY cleverly shot. i was really surprised.

[@JJ_Lloyd]

She really should watch the sequel. It's every bit as good as the first one.

[@johnyd1911]

💯💯💯

[@matthewgrady3423]

One of my favorite stories has to do with this movie. On Thanksgiving back in 2010, I was having Thanksgiving with family. Afterwards, part of the family is watching football. Meanwhile, my Uncle Fred is telling a story with myself, my mother, my Aunt Ruth(Not married to my Uncle Fred), and her kids Mallory, Meredith, and Alex around the table. On Halloween that year, Uncle Fred was in charge of candy distribution. While handing out candy on this one occasion, he looks down the walkway and sees a guy he recognizes. After a moment of trying to figure who it is, my uncle thinks,”Wait, isn’t that Bill Murray?”(Murray is associated with the local minor league baseball team and has a house not far from my aunt and uncle.) This naturally elicited a response out of me. My mom reacted. Aunt Ruth reacted. Mallory and Meredith reacted. However, Alex was perplexed as he asked,”Who’s Bill Murray.” As the rest of us are shocked,” I start rattling off movies from the ‘80’s like “Ghostbusters” and “Caddyshack.” Alex is still confused. So, I mention “Groundhog Day”, which doesn’t do any better. In my mind, I’m thinking,”I’ve never wanted to hit you before but I’m really thinking about it now.” I realized that I pretty much went through the Bill Murray scene here with me as Tallahasee and Alex as Little Rock.

[@AlwaysBolttheBird]

Funny (probably an Easter egg) about him being scared of clowns. Jessie Eisenberg grew up one town over from me and his mom was a professional birthday clown. Her name was Bonabennie. We had her do all my birthdays until I was about 8 and she stopped doing it because she got pregnant with Jessie’s sister who turned out to be the curly haired Pepsi girl. So Jessie was at a bunch of my birthdays with his clown mom and I guess he’s scared of his mom haha.

[@johnyd1911]

To cool. Do believe his Mom actually played that clown at the end...

[@AlwaysBolttheBird]

@@johnyd1911 that made me think and on IMDB only two people credited as playing clowns and both are men so not his mom but that would’ve been cool

[@jimhsfbay]

@@AlwaysBolttheBirdehhhh….not necessarily. I did accounting (including payroll) on a couple of movies. Everyone with a speaking part tends to get credited properly. Misc scenery cast and extras do not. It’s also a crazy scramble when the editors are trying to finish the final cut to get hundreds of names right across the cast, crew, financiers, & production companies.

[@AlwaysBolttheBird]

@@jimhsfbaytotally possible. One of the clowns was credited the other says uncredited so who knows.

[@thebestplayerdead956]

27:07 “and without other people, you might as well be a zombie.” No truer words have been spoken. I’ve been alone for almost 10 years. Numbing to substance. Feeling like a zombie

[@heyheyjk-la]

I live near Hollywood Boulevard and TBH it doesn't look that much different even when it's not a zombie apocalypse, just more people. Great reaction to a fun film. I still need to see the sequel, actually.

[@vudujl83]

I am SO glad to see a reaction to Zombieland on here...this movie was gross, wild, and funny in the best possible ways 🤣

[@robertsanssouci2093]

Only Addie can shriek in perfect pitch 🤣🙌🏼🤣

[@jeromedutil-martin6823]

If you haven't seen it, i would love to see your reaction to the dark comedy "Little Miss Sunshine", starring a younger Abigail Breslin.

[@TheKing20501]

I watched that one when it first came out in theaters xD

[@HelloThere.GeneralKenobi]

This is a great start to the week and an end of October and scary/ish movies. You survived! Great job, Addie!!

[@agarven1]

Addie you should check out the movie Kingpin which is really funny. It has Woody Harrelson and Bill Murray in the movie together. Bill Murray kept going off script in Kingpin and ad libbed all his lines. The directors just let him do his own thing lol

[@bigjoeofthe707]

10:44 Addie’s dog hearing this “Um excuse me?”

[@daveb947]

I say this in every Zombie Land react, but I love the music in the end scene. It gives a "last stand" vibe. 👍

[@ericjohnson8847]

Love your instant appreciation of the Double Tap! LOL!

[@arsbadmojo]

Zombieland 2 is even better. (Thanks in part to the addition of a new character!)

[@migmit]

No, it's not.

[@arsbadmojo]

OK, Paul Blart.

[@ShaneCarey]

I consider this an American counterpart to "Shaun of the Dead." Both about survival of a society: after the zombie apocalypse, being British still means going down the pub for a pint, and being American still means guns, junk food, and vast geographic sprawl.

[@asterix7842]

Addie, you're such a beautiful reactor and you always seem to get so excited over every movie. I could watch any of your reactions- even for movies I haven't seen. I love how your biggest jump scare wasn't for any of the zombies; it was for the clown under the bathroom stall door. 😂

[@A-small-amount-of-peas]

For an amazingly hilarious and overlooked Woody Harrellson and Bill Murray movie may I suggest Kingpin. Made by the same brothers who made There's something about Mary, Dumb and Dumber and many other awesome comedies. Both of them are so gifted comedically and work so well together that it shows on screen. I'm guessing it's one of the reasons Bill said yes to this cameo

[@StevesTubes]

The sequel is really good too..

[@chameleonvr4]

Hey Addie! Shout out from the US Marine Corps! Hey just watched your reaction to this movie you're absolutely right this one is so much fun! Bill Maher is such a good actor and I love how they added a little Ghostbuster humor into this. And I absolutely love the twists when the two girls totally set them up twice! Maybe The Skeleton Key?! It's not great but it's worth a watch and none of the high level reaction goddesses like you watch it! Anyways Keep up the great reactions!

[@jaybea365]

60 zombies run at the carnival stand Tallahassee is in. He has 60 bullets, he walks out over a pile of corpses. Didn't miss a single head-shot.

[@backforblood3421]

"When you're at your most vulnerable, 'somehow' they can just smell it"... About a year after I first ordered them from Amazon, I finally got undamaged copies, as far as I can tell, of the Steelbooks of these movies.

[@mikeljenks]

You-“Oh this is the cutest puppy ever” me- just wait

[@leojamesclune1730]

That's what's great about reacts when you've seen the movie already. They say something and we go, "Uh oh"

[@joshuacampbell7493]

Now, Zombieland Double Tap.

[@moonbeam6010]

When we saw this in the theater, my sister screamed and threw her popcorn into the row behind us when the clown popped out LOL

[@arraymac227]

Saw this at a midnight show during the 2009 Atlantic Film Festival, in Halifax NS, Canada. Loved it too.

[@darkzer0670]

I'm the same way as Tallahassee seeing someone not knowing who Bill Murray is as people not knowing why he kept painting the number 3 on the car.

[@mostaley5049]

Dude when that clown was under that door and you jumped I cracked up laughing. Thanks man. Another great reaction. 👏😊🥰😂

[@billygriffitts8084]

Watching this was a great end to a not so great monday. Thanks homie!

[@otakuwolf4ever985]

"One of your rules is Don't be a hero, you're trying to be a hero now." Nah, he's just trying to not die a virgin.

[@twohorsesinamancostume7606]

I first saw this movie in Garland and yes, that is an accurate description.

[@SeanHendy]

Bill Murray is an absolute legend. 100% recommend the film St Vincent which stars Bill Murray, Melissa McCarthy and Naomi Watts. Didn't know what to expect when watching it, but was entertained and captivated by this film.

[@amyjordan195]

Big and little cats stretch frequently. Even Lions. So Tallahassee was wrong on that one. Why does nobody catch that?

[@joeblankenship377]

Lol! That clown at 5:36 got you good!

[@tenchraven]

"The cutest puppy ever!" After that, it was just a matter of time before Addie was ruined.

[@raydurz]

Another great movie with Woody Harrelson and Bill Murray is Kingpin. Funny as hell.

[@PapasitoBustamante2585]

5:40 I like the sound of that 😂

[@johnckelly88]

The three on painted on the car doors were homage to Dale Earnhardt, a Nascar driver that died in the 2001 Daytona 500

[@steffenwennerstrand8969]

I have watched this movie thousands of times perfect timing for Halloween tomorrow Tallahasse is the funniest character 😂

[@GregInHouston2]

This was fun. Glad I god to experience this with you. Now watch "The Ultimate Gift".

[@Kwstr42]

lol when you asked how many rules are there at 31, i suddenly realized he added that rule as a result of the previous scene, and i didnt get that till now

[@chadstephens2720]

I got married back in October and when it was time to kiss, we played Your Touch from the black keys and I brushed her hair back then kissed her. Best moment ever!

[@samcrenshaw8171]

You should watch Kingpin, with Woody and BM. Hilarious.

[@endres5628]

I don't know many zombie movies but this and Shaun Of The Dead is both classic.

[@Commander-vf1lk]

Double tap is a real thing in the military. In a military context, a "double tap" refers to a military tactic in which a target is struck twice in quick succession, often used to maximize the chances of neutralizing the target. The legality of such tactics in warfare is governed by international humanitarian law, including the Geneva Conventions. Deliberate attacks on civilians or non-combatants are considered war crimes, and excessive or indiscriminate use of force can also be in violation of international law. To simplify, once someone is lying on the ground whether they're dead or alive. It is a military tactic/habit to shoot them again while in front you. It is only considered war crime after you go past that body and shoot it or shoot again. So the soldiers are to make sure they're shot dead before walking over or past the bodies on the ground. Again, soldiers are not doctors and chances of not making sure they're dead can cost them their lives like sneak/surprise attack on them cuz they didn't kill sweep them all first before doing anything else.

[@Avalon1951]

According to your patreon I thought Serenity was next??

[@resting.potato]

I also recommend "Warm Bodies" movie. Really nice and fun and zombies

[@bboyshotty]

oh whaat!! great surprise! This will be right up your alley, im sure..cant wait!

[@ultraben2854]

This is got to be one of my favorite zombie movies. if you like this, watch Warm Bodies

[@erikbjelke4411]

I love the message of this movie. So many people look at zombie apocalypse media and say "well, I'd just look out for myself, to hell with everyone else." Yeah, okay, that's great. . . but evade and kill all the zombies you want, sooner or later you're going to die. Disease, injury, old age, something's going to get you. Life is 100% fatal, the rest is just details. So what's going to outlive you? what are you going to leave behind? Just a prepped shelter and a bad smell? Or are you going to build something, have other people who will remember you when you're gone? All of the characters pretty much start off just looking out for themselves, but learn to trust and open themselves up to each other, and build a foundation not just for surviving, but LIVING.

[@teamstone4639]

Watch Bill Murray again in Ghostbusters 1&2&Afterlife. Also Afterlife have Mid&Post-credits scenes don't forget to watch those too 😉.

[@alextan1478]

The only time Amber Heard did a decent acting job is as a zombie

[@moonlitegram]

That's cause she got to mostly play herself

[@kratosGOW]

After watching this movie, I was still pissed at the girls for ruining 2 perfectly adequate vehicles! We don’t do that in today’s society so imagine how valuable it would be in Zombieland.

[@sterlinggecko3269]

this movie is equal to Shaun of the Dead. one of my favorites. I saw that one first, so it might have swayed the sentiment.

[@alexhale2696]

If you loved the Murray/Harrison duo, watch Kingpin.😁

[@t0dd000]

Need to react to the movie referenced in the grocery store + banjo scene: Deliverance.

[@Mean-bj8wp]

There's another name you missed, the blonde girl who knocks on Colombus' door who fell asleep on his couch was Amber Heard.

they didn't know how to make the zombies scary in this movie so they just had them puking and spitting

[@SonOvLaw]

I never understood what possessed those girls to think they could power up an entire amusement park and not draw every zombie within a mile radius to them.

[@adamwells9352]

I mean, I always just assumed they were past the point of giving a crap. They hadn't thought anything out past the park... Honestly, kind of a standard survival mistake.

[@stanleywiggins5047]

Sometime in the future you should check out Zombieland 2, because a new caricter is quite upset that Bill Murray was shot. My question has always been, "how did this person know,?? As they were a few hundred miles away
