When I was managing a theater, this movie was on constant rotation. The keys didn’t expire to the digital print until 2013. We watched this movie every week the keys expired myself and my friend Lynn would watch this every Wednesday just to have something to do. It was the best four years of my life. And I left this job in 2014.
That’s a sure sign of being old, I’m basically ancient because I still consider the Black Album “New Metallica” didn’t that come out like year before last ?
I remember being in the theater for this movie. Was looking forward to it for sooo long! The movie started and as soon as the stripper zombies were running in slow motion an older couple (in their 60s at least) stood up and drug their grandkids out of the theater. Apparently they saw Woody Harrelson with zombies and thought it was going to be slapstick comedy.
I used to work at Wild Adventures. The ride the girls are on when they start seeing the zombies showing up is called Pharaoh’s Fury. The ride they get on in order to avoid the horde, labeled as the Blast-Off in the film is actually called the Double-Shot before it got renamed to the Firecracker and then Buzzby’s Blast-Off. The ride that Tallahassee hangs off of while shooting zombies is called The Aviator (which was behind where I used to work, the Dipping Dots booth before it got moved to a different spot). The ride Tallahassee gets on that he shoots zombies as he rides along that’s yellow is the Bug-Out. When the Hummer goes into the lagoon, you can see The Boomerang in the background. There is no Haunted House attraction that you see in the film (it was a façade they put up that blocked the path to one of the animal exhibits in the park and the interior that you see Columbus go through was filmed at another location), as was the shack with the switch to turn on the power to the park. The ride that Columbus runs through that takes out the zombies chasing him from the Haunted House is called The Roundup when I was there, and then got renamed to the Rattler. The park is currently owned by Dolly Parton’s amusement park chain and they have installed more trees throughout the park since I worked there back in the early 2000s. Also, a funny little detail: the girls enter the park through the front entrance, as does the boys when they arrive. However, after the boys pull into the park from the front, the next shot that has the girls looking at them pulling up, they’re coming from a different direction (from the direction of where the stage is for live performances).
I've always hated how Columbus is supposedly so smart and has his rules but he carries a gun that only has 2 shots before needing reloading. A pump action would have been so much better.
Yeah, but they never jam, never misfire, you could throw one in a lake for a month, pull it out and fire it. I own one and it is my favorite. Plus, you get to feel like Mad Max and/or Bruce Campbell.
Since its American why not just go with a full auto AA-12? Or at least a semi automatic. For a country swimming in guns a double barrel shotgun is so dumb.
@nakmuay7705 if we're talking Zombie situation, I have a semi-auto Marlin .22 rifle it weighs nothing has a 17 round capacity, no kick, and a wee little scope. But that coach gun is gonna be slung across my back w/ some double ought Buckshot. Edit: I mispoke. My brother just reminded me that Marlin holds 15 in the mag, one in the hole.
greed. There are plenty of knock-off Twinkies from smaller brands that are twice as good as Twinkies, but for whatever reason, the actual Twinkies are the most popular, lol.
As a Gen X, I kind of remember twinkies as much more of a treat than today's kids probably would think. Sweets just weren't as much a daily thing, at least in my neck of the woods. I can remember an 8 oz can of coke as being really special. Now that's a tiny serving. (Heck, just tonight I was with my niece and nephew and they both got 20 oz. cups of boba drinks as dessert) Personally when I was a kid, I loved fruit pies way more than twinkies, but there just weren't as many treats in general to choose from. Anyway that's why I think they were such a big deal to our generation.
@@grannyweatherwax8005 That might also be because today's Twinkies are a pale shadow of the Twinkies we grew up with. The new companies have different formulas, substandard ingredients, and the textures are simply awful on a whole new processed level. This goes across the board for all Hostess products, sadly.
I'm like, "of course they were 'recast' - having an entire cast of Hollywood names in your show would be too expensive!" If it had been a different group, the rules & everything else would have been missing. It would have been like when Shaun's group of survivors met that other group of survivors lol
@@jayluck8047 One scene was an old lady who had turned into a zombie tried to bite one of them but she had false teeth and then tried to gum them...😆😆😆
It's also important to note: Twinkies have a short shelf life. They're famous in pop culture for being one of the few things that will be edible years after an apocalyptic scenario, enduring like the cockroach (which incidentally also has exaggerated survivability status). The actual shelf life of a Twinkie? About a month and a half. Undoubtedly, they'll still be fine for a good deal longer than that, but you can expect the nutritionally deficient snack cake will be a lot less 'fresh' after just a few months, let alone a few years.
Had heard of this movie, but didn’t actually see it until more than ten years after it came out (didn’t even know about the sequel) and have to say I’m so glad I watched it cause it was a blast!
This is my favorite zombie movie of all time. And yes, I did enjoy the sequel as much as the first one. Enjoy the little things is a great rule to go by.
About 20yrs ago, I found a keychain: _Don't sweat the petty things,_ _Pet the sweaty things._ I've lost that keychain since then, but not the message lol
Great episode dude! Twinkies almost went extinct awhile back, they were like $600 a box on Ebay because Hostess was bankrupt but someone bought them out and saved the Twinkies!
@THRASHMETALFUNRIFFS, lol, yeah, I remember that! Glad someone was able to save the Twinkies! Also, Minty, don't feel bad for not knowing what a Twinkie was, & thinking Egon was eating a sponge, as the first time I'd ever heard of or seen Twinkies, believe it or not, was upon my first viewing of monster squad, on vhs, as a kid. My brother & I were all like, what's a Twinkie? So, suffice to say, my dad bought us some, the next day.
Twinkies were not saved. The name was. The shape was. But all the hostess products that hit the shelves after the bankruptcy were pale shadows of their former selves. I was a huge fan of the Susie Q to the point that when announced I went and bought up all I could to freeze for later. When they returned I when and got them as soon as they hit the shelves. I ate one from the box and threw the rest out. The formulas were changed the ingredients were substandard. The textures was different. I've never eaten another hostess product since. The same happened to little Debbie. On the plus side my sugar intake drooped substantially since that happened.
Here Down Under, there's actually a shop in my hometown called The Reject Shop, essentially its just a general store of off-brand snacks, and other stuff, and they actually sell Twinkies, I think they still do, I haven't had one in 4 years, but I remember them being okay, didn't really understand Talahasse's fixation with Twinkies personally.
@@mexicanspec - Can't argue with that, KFC used to have these small wraps called Nacho Cheese Rollers, bloody delicious, I hate that they removed it from the menu, same with Macca's with the Mozzarella Sticks & Oreo Milkshakes, first time I tried an Oreo Milkshake from Macca's, the following week it was removed from the menu.
On the possibility of a third film, Fleischer can not decide if the cast will return or not. He has stated that he "would love to do Madison stand-alone movie."
I remember watching the Zombieland pilot and I liked it. It, and a sports comedy type show, were my picks from that season. They didn't pick up either of them. The likely reason you've never heard of it is because, at that time, Amazon had a "pilot season" where they had different pilots of different shows and let customers vote. The ones that didn't make it got ghosted almost immediately after the voting. Even as a paying Amazon streaming customer, I can't watch them again. 😔
I love Zombieland! And now part of me wants to send Minty a Twinkie. The other part of me remembers the last time I ate one, and I don't want to curse poor Minty like that.
I worked at the park that was "Pacific Playland" while it was being filmed. For the part where Woody rode by himself on the yellow coaster car blasting zombies off different platforms through the ride: we picked up empty shotgun shells out of that ride's area for months even after the movie premiered. One Thursday night, the cast & crew were gearing up for that nights filming and nobody could find Woody. We found out later that Matthew McConaughey had flown into Valdosta to kidnap Woody off to Hawaii for an unscheduled weekend off.
I heard that the undisclosed person who dropped out was Eddie Van Halen who entered rehab in early 2008 at the same time filming for Zombieland began. He really wanted to be in the movie but he had other priorities, they still wanted to give him a shout-out which is why they included the joke about him being a zombie at the Hollywood Bowl. The good thing about his skipping out on his movie cameo was Eddie quit drinking and married his girlfriend Janie Liszewski in July 2009.
You're absolutely NOT wrong about the series. I always hate when they recast actors in sequels or TV spinoffs, as you said it would have been way better and I'd have adored a show if they either A.) got the original actors(not easy with movies stars going to TV, I know) or B.) had all new characters. Hell, each season could have been a new set of 4 people from different states and different personalities and I'd have totally been on board. But seeing it as the same 4 movie characters but different actors just killed it completely for me before it even started.
I took my friend to go see Zombieland since her boyfriend was not a zombie movie fan. Ten years later, I took my friend (now wife) to go see Zombieland Double Tap on our 10th anniversary! Fantastic films and led to fantastic times with my best friend! Thank God her BF didn't like zombie flicks!
If you've never had an original Twinkie, you never will, sadly. Hostess went bankrupt and Twinkies disappeared from store shelves in 2012. They were bought out by 2 new companies, and the new Twinkies were now different. They're smaller, tougher, and taste different now. My condolences, lol. I have the same sentiment for anyone who never tried the McRib before the 90's, lol.
I know the lady who played mississippi Cynthia nickerboker with the piano, Joan Schuermeyer. I work with her on a few projects in north carolina, including "The Forever Dead."
You aren't wrong, Minty. I heard about the show & was 100% expecting a new cast & story in the Zombieland universe. When I saw it was a recast I instantly noped out.
I loved zombie land not only for its originality but it's the first zombie movie where the characters in the movie already knew what zombies were and weren't just completely stupid to what zombies are.
I love the fact that the beginning takes place in Garland TX. I was born there and thought it was hilarious how out of all cities in the US they picked Garland. Anyway, great movie and great show Minty!
The attempt at a show on Amazon was part of a contest. There were several different pilots that dropped at the same time, four I believe. Each show was given the chance at a series based on fan approval.
"For something that's a little naughty naughty..." Depends on what state yer in and when. Unfortunately, Georgia still hasn't even decriminalized it yet, although Texas is about to.
We here in Virginia have been enjoying the legalization of "The evil demon weed, marijuana" for a few years now. Bonus point to anyone who knows where the the line in quotations comes from.
Woody Harrelson is a Vegan and environmentalist, who had the film Kiss The Ground, about climate crisis and possible solutions to it. Maybe this explains the ban on food and environmentally sets, not a total solution to the problems but a start.
Hey Minty. I've been following u a few years now. I just want to say ur a great dude and I appreciate your videos. God bless you and may he grace all the works of your hands and make his presence known in your life.
In the mid-late 90s, us Aussies tried to bring Twinkies to Australia but we branded them Twinkles ...once Aussies found out what they tasted like and had fake cream inside...they said 'yeah, nah' and it failed miserably.....we do have certain stores that import them into Australia but they are not widely eaten or known..
I remember seeing Zombieland in the theater. Woody Harrison Jesse Eisenberg, Emma Stone, and Abigail Breslin were perfect in the movie. The zombie and humor were top-notch. Plus, who doesn't love Bill Murray?
Speaking of Twinkies. I had a request from several friends from Australia for them. I put them in special cases so they wouldn't get smashed during my flight.
Just FYI, Zombieland was dropped as a TV series because the studio the filmmakers went to told them that a TV show about zombies would flop. A few years later The Walking Dead came out.
Couple things here... Woody was probably High AF and still wrapped up in his movie mindset, and actually did think it was a zombie. Minty you're probably dead on with that thought about the characters being re-cast being the reason for the hate. No one likes it when the studio changes familiar characters. It would have been fun as hell to watch a series of new characters take on Zombieland with some occasional cameos from the original movie crew.
I bet I know something about Zombieland you couldn't possibly know in a thousand lifetimes. I grew up near that theme park, and have some fond memories on the Doubleshot. That is the tower ride that goes up and down and Wichita uses a double barrel on. Geographically Wild Adventures is in Clyattville also.
I voted for the Zombieland pilot! When it released, Prime members had to vote on a series of pilots as to which they found most enjoyable. I didn't think the pilot was all that bad.
I've been selective about what zombie films I watch. Believing the genre to have been done to death. (Pun intended.) Having seen all the classic and best current films, this is the one I've missed. Thanks for reminding me, Minty!
Twinkies are one of those thing that you should try once, then never eat one again. You probably won't want another one anyways. Personally I feel like their great for a sugar rush if you need one but that's about it though.
I did watch the pilot. It was good, I think people hated it due to it being a semi retread of the movie in terms of characters. Also Amazon use to do this thing, where they would film 5 pilots of tv shows and the audiences get to choose which one they preferred. This was one of them. Along with that I highly recommend the US remake pilot for Mad Dogs. It did not get picked up, assuming that the UK version die-hard voted it down.
I need to watch Zombieland... and try a Twinkie. Also, I can't imagine you with hair, Minty. You've probably posted some images of your younger self with hair, but I can't recall them. Anyway, awesome video, as always!
I totally agree that the Zombieland TV show would have been better served if they moved on to another survivor group - to tie them together to the original a bit further, the show could have them be victims to the girls scams at the very start. If the show was successful, there could have been a crossover in the sequel movie including a call back to the scam.
after seeing zombieland one, i wanted to try a Twinkie, cos it seemed like they must be really tasty due to the movie.. but it was horrible... dunno why people like them it was the same with Empire of the Sun, after seeing that movie I had a hankering for a Hershey bar.. that too was horrible... why are American products so bad???
Disney absolutely will not let anyone use their name in any movie. In Escape from LA they wanted to use Disneyland but of course Disney said "Hale NO!' i can think of any movie where Disney allowed them to use their name.
I would have to say Zombieland and Shaun of the Dead are the two greatest comedy zombie movies out there. That being said we need to get minty a Twinkie.
That's the most brilliant excuse for punching a photographer ever😂
When Woody said it was understandable, it had to be a dig at his looks or job as paparazzo 😂
...or perhaps an apt comparison, because instead of brains, they mindlessly follow you around for pics!

That's the truth.

Crazy how long ago this movie came out. I still consider it fairly recent!
Yeah being old sucks.
Yeah was gonna say... welcome to being "older"!

I live in Valdosta, Ga where they filmed the ending at Wild Adventures theme park. I worked there about 20 years ago too.

Zombieland is a great movie and as far as you not eating a Twinkie you are not missing much
If it wasn't for Bill Murray I wouldn't care for it but his line " Is that how you say Hi where you come from ? " .... Dead ! 😂
"Must be environmentally friendly"

Didn't think I'd like Zombieland at first, but gave it a chance & Truly Enjoyed it !! Shawn of the Dead was great too !
Undead was a great zombie comedy
@@shanewilson9814 Thank you ! I've not heard of that one. I'll look it up !
Woody should have just used the defense, that it was a TMZ photographer. That by itself should be enough.
I know the lady who played mississippi Cynthia nickerboker with the piano, Joan Schuermeyer. I work with her on a few projects in north carolina, including "The Forever Dead."
You aren't wrong, Minty. I heard about the show & was 100% expecting a new cast & story in the Zombieland universe. When I saw it was a recast I instantly noped out.
I loved zombie land not only for its originality but it's the first zombie movie where the characters in the movie already knew what zombies were and weren't just completely stupid to what zombies are.
I love the fact that the beginning takes place in Garland TX. I was born there and thought it was hilarious how out of all cities in the US they picked Garland. Anyway, great movie and great show Minty!
JUST Saw this on TV..... glad I saw this posting as well.... Cool Beans!!
As someone who has eaten a Twinkie - Youre not missing much!!!
Can't wait for Minty to do reviews Goodfellas or The Godfather! I've been requesting those two for years!
The attempt at a show on Amazon was part of a contest. There were several different pilots that dropped at the same time, four I believe. Each show was given the chance at a series based on fan approval.
Great movie. Fully agree that the Series should have focused on an entirely new group of people.

"For something that's a little naughty naughty..." Depends on what state yer in and when. Unfortunately, Georgia still hasn't even decriminalized it yet, although Texas is about to.
We here in Virginia have been enjoying the legalization of "The evil demon weed, marijuana" for a few years now. Bonus point to anyone who knows where the the line in quotations comes from.
Woody Harrelson is a Vegan and environmentalist, who had the film Kiss The Ground, about climate crisis and possible solutions to it. Maybe this explains the ban on food and environmentally sets, not a total solution to the problems but a start.
🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣
Yeah, okay.
And electric cars are more environmentally friendly than my "gas guzzler."
Tree hugging "environmentists"..... what a joke.
But the dairy thing was only for a week so it seems he was just messing with the guy.
When Hollywood actually made fun films
Hey Minty. I've been following u a few years now. I just want to say ur a great dude and I appreciate your videos. God bless you and may he grace all the works of your hands and make his presence known in your life.
Wait what? I've only heard negative feedback about zombieland 2.
Because it's crap
You aren't missing anything. Twinkies are awful. You're initial impression that they're a sponge isn't far off.
Hey Minty Almost 500k give us a special update tour of your Blockbuster store!!!!
In the mid-late 90s, us Aussies tried to bring Twinkies to Australia but we branded them Twinkles ...once Aussies found out what they tasted like and had fake cream inside...they said 'yeah, nah' and it failed miserably.....we do have certain stores that import them into Australia but they are not widely eaten or known..
I remember seeing Zombieland in the theater. Woody Harrison Jesse Eisenberg, Emma Stone, and Abigail Breslin were perfect in the movie. The zombie and humor were top-notch. Plus, who doesn't love Bill Murray?
You were so close to spelling the cast names correctly...
Lucy Liu
Minty you ain't missing anything. Twinkies are kinda lame 😂
It’s great that they used Flagstaff and Albuquerque as their mirror characters in zombie land 2
Speaking of Twinkies. I had a request from several friends from Australia for them. I put them in special cases so they wouldn't get smashed during my flight.
You're right about the TV series... Changing the leads could have made a big difference...
Just FYI, Zombieland was dropped as a TV series because the studio the filmmakers went to told them that a TV show about zombies would flop. A few years later The Walking Dead came out.
My favorite zombie film.
Couple things here... Woody was probably High AF and still wrapped up in his movie mindset, and actually did think it was a zombie. Minty you're probably dead on with that thought about the characters being re-cast being the reason for the hate. No one likes it when the studio changes familiar characters. It would have been fun as hell to watch a series of new characters take on Zombieland with some occasional cameos from the original movie crew.
I'd forgotten about this fllm, gotta watch it again! Cheers Mark, Lee UK
I bet I know something about Zombieland you couldn't possibly know in a thousand lifetimes. I grew up near that theme park, and have some fond memories on the Doubleshot. That is the tower ride that goes up and down and Wichita uses a double barrel on. Geographically Wild Adventures is in Clyattville also.
In my understanding, he was saying it’s ‘understandable’ because paparazzi are like zombies.
I voted for the Zombieland pilot! When it released, Prime members had to vote on a series of pilots as to which they found most enjoyable. I didn't think the pilot was all that bad.
I love Minty Comedi Carts!!
I've been selective about what zombie films I watch. Believing the genre to have been done to death. (Pun intended.)
Having seen all the classic and best current films, this is the one I've missed. Thanks for reminding me, Minty!
Twinkies are one of those thing that you should try once, then never eat one again. You probably won't want another one anyways. Personally I feel like their great for a sugar rush if you need one but that's about it though.
I did not know what Twinkie’s were either (USA) as a kid and remember questioning what he was eating in ghostbusters. So you are not alone.
I did watch the pilot. It was good, I think people hated it due to it being a semi retread of the movie in terms of characters.
Also Amazon use to do this thing, where they would film 5 pilots of tv shows and the audiences get to choose which one they preferred. This was one of them.
Along with that I highly recommend the US remake pilot for Mad Dogs. It did not get picked up, assuming that the UK version die-hard voted it down.
A good bit of minty on my Bithday 🎉😂😂
Happy Birthday 🎂 🥳 🎉 🎈 🎁
Thanks 😊
This made me smile. Thank you!
Brain-eating one, Minty.
I need to watch Zombieland... and try a Twinkie. Also, I can't imagine you with hair, Minty. You've probably posted some images of your younger self with hair, but I can't recall them. Anyway, awesome video, as always!
I totally agree that the Zombieland TV show would have been better served if they moved on to another survivor group - to tie them together to the original a bit further, the show could have them be victims to the girls scams at the very start. If the show was successful, there could have been a crossover in the sequel movie including a call back to the scam.
after seeing zombieland one, i wanted to try a Twinkie, cos it seemed like they must be really tasty due to the movie.. but it was horrible... dunno why people like them
it was the same with Empire of the Sun, after seeing that movie I had a hankering for a Hershey bar.. that too was horrible... why are American products so bad???
as far as the twinkies go.. you're not missing much. I stopped eating junk food and haven't missed it.
I think you should let me mail you some twinkies and then you can do a reaction video for us. I genuinely want to see how you feel about them 😂
Disney absolutely will not let anyone use their name in any movie. In Escape from LA they wanted to use Disneyland but of course Disney said "Hale NO!' i can think of any movie where Disney allowed them to use their name.
I would have to say Zombieland and Shaun of the Dead are the two greatest comedy zombie movies out there. That being said we need to get minty a Twinkie.
If you EVER actually tell me even 6 things i DIDNT KNOW i will give you 500$. Swear to god
