This was also in the days BEFORE VCRs, Video tape, DVDs, The Internet. They can't watch movies on command. They can't surf the net. Wow. They only had .... BOOKS to entertain themselves with, in addition to the video arcade with those old 1970s vintage games.[[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 02:54, 4 May 2009 (UTC) | This was also in the days BEFORE VCRs, Video tape, DVDs, The Internet.

Yeah that was something that dawned on me a few weeks ago when I watched this movie for the first time in fifteen years. Might have been tempting to just climb up on the rooftop and snipe some zombies or zeds I believe they're called. --[[User:Jcordell|Jcordell]] 03:10, 4 May 2009 (UTC) | |||

The service revolver carried by S.W.A.T. officers Peter and Roger is an FIE Titan Tiger .38 revolver
Screencaps look good.
Good job on the screencaps. A classic horror movie deserves a snazzy looking page of it's own. --Jcordell 01:43, 3 May 2009 (UTC)
Fran acting strange.
well according to Romero in the voice over narrative the whole scene was something of an improv and almost landed on the cutting room floor. But they decided to leave it in at the last minute. From what I gathered from the voice over it was showing how the survivors were starting to crack up even with all the goodies in the mall. Fran has gone all out with the make up and "stuff" but isn't secure and still needs a gun.Great material wealth has not made her happy. Twenty years ago when I was a college student I would have been able to explain the deeper meaning to the whole scene. I have no doubt. But I'm not nearly as cool anymore so just go with the idea that everything is getting to her. --Jcordell 22:08, 3 May 2009 (UTC)
Nope she's not acting strange. She's BORED. I always viewed the scene is that she is bored, sitting in a mall with tons of cosmetics, so she plays 'dress up' and does this completely over the top makeup like a gangster's moll, except in a cartoon like fashion. She "play acts" a vamp, or femme fatale precisely because she is bored out of her mind. Nothing strange at all here. I always wondered what I would do to kill all those hours in the mall every day, day after day. MoviePropMaster2008 22:14, 3 May 2009 (UTC)
Sure that works as well. --Jcordell 22:23, 3 May 2009 (UTC)
