well, if you could maybe stake out some homeless limeys for bait, you could actually take your time and pick and choose the best zombie specimens -  ... don't know if it would be legal to take zombie off a baited patch, tho.

The risks are too high.  I'm sure that doing anything other than biting the zombie if, and only if, he were in the act of biting you would not be justifyable under British Law.  Shooting them would only result in either attempted murder or mutilation of a corpse (maybe even both) with all the associated lesser charges... and, of course, the more serious charge of actually having and firing a gun.

Basically, all of these zombie stories occur in England simply because it's safer to let them bite you than to risk an excessive jail term simply by attempting to defend yourself.

Man, i can 'deffend' myself perfectly well without going to prison.

main reason being that we still know how to fight like a man, not just point and shoot at whoever gets us pissed.

yes, every male can aim and work a lever action rifle. infact I scored 98% on the 200m range with my SA80 in Territorial Army cadets.

this being said, guns are for girlies.

sure, i know you guys need guns to stop the bad guys who all have guns....yadda yadda....

and i resent the remark about us brit 'meekly laying down and being bitten by zombies'

I have yet to find a 'real' Brittish man who would meekly let you steal apples from his garden, let alone bite you to an un-dead state.

anyhow, its a good film. the guys bird is rather tasty too :D

This movie really shows the superiority of the British society over the American. While the US Government and military are the first things to fail in America, leaving it up to people like Lazs to clean up the streets, in Britain the Army is actually competent enough to deal with the situation. Also while Americans would destroy all the zombies (or be destroyed by them), the British domesticate them and turn them into a workforce. Good show chaps!

You would come to the same conclusion after watching a sweetheart commercial.:rolleyes:





   Great movie btw:aok

I am sure that you are young and in good shape and probly don't even need one of them cricket paddles to defend yourself... heck... a criminal or two might not be able to take you in a fair fight....  How bout your mom?  your grandpa?  that guy in the wheelchair down the street?   How bout that woman running the convienence store?  

schotzie... I seen how the british military acted in 28 days..

I gotta ask... did anyone laugh when Shaun complains that Ashe isn't at work?


I immediately thought of Evil Dead, Army of Darkness, etc...

What this movie really shows is the folly of using LP's to combat the living dead!

With all the hype i thought it would of been better than it was, some parts were good like the antics of Shaun's roomate. I'd give it a 7.

Evil Dead was best comedy-horror evar, i luv that movie.
