Talk:Rockabilly Zombie Weekend

Okay, I made this entire initial page by myself. I was an extra for the film and participated in roughly 1/4 of principal photography. As such, I can clarify some aspects of the article here.

• Weapons that I can confirm are in the film but are not seen in the currently released official material include an airsoft M60, a Beretta 92FS blank-firing replica, a Simonov SKS, an airsoft M1911 in a soldier's holster, a Remington 870 in 12 gauge (carried by an elderly survivor at the airport), an airsoft Sturmgewehr 44 in the confiscated gun pile at the airport (which is so huge that a whole section can be dedicated to it) and a magnum revolver (possibly .44 Magnum). These guns will likely be easily visible when the film is released on DVD or online and screenshots can be made.
• All of the guns used by the soldiers at the airport checkpoint, including their holstered sidearms, are airsoft replicas. A number of soldiers were played by mil-sim airsofters, while the actual veterans (including the bald man in the SCAR-L picture and the one with the Benelli on his back) came in their actual gear and simply switched their weapons for fakes. This also includes at least one soldier having training grenades on his kit.
• The vast majority of gunshots in the film are CGI and sound effects due to the lack of permits for the noise caused by blanks. As such, many of the firearms are very real and are simply mimed firing.
• The suggestion that the zombie cop's gun is a Glock comes from a behind the scenes photo (which I currently don't have handy) showing the handgun more clearly.

Does this film meet the distribution requirement? --Funkychinaman (talk) 10:04, 25 January 2013 (EST)

It does, but I'm not the one to talk to regarding the details. Chitoryu12 (talk) 10:32, 25 January 2013 (EST)

No it doesn't meet the requirements. It's only available on YouTube. It's never been theatrically released, it hasn't been on TV, and isn't on Amazon or any other site. Can a mod delete the page please?--Mandolin (talk) 17:11, 25 January 2013 (EST)

Is is released yet? If not, that would explain not being able to find it anywhere. --Funkychinaman (talk) 17:15, 25 January 2013 (EST)

According to IMDb, it was released on 1/10/13, but the Facebook page says the premiere is next month. Given that it's not on sale even on the official page, I'm guessing the IMDb info is wrong. --Funkychinaman (talk) 17:23, 25 January 2013 (EST)

Maybe it just got out of development hell.Mr.Ice (talk) 18:09, 25 January 2013 (EST)
