Continuity mistake: In the Pacific Playland scene, Wichita and Little Rock are seen riding a Swinging Ship when all of a sudden, zombies begin to pile over the park's fence. In the next scene, the two girls are shown running down a stretch of walkway shooting at the zombies that are chasing them. When the camera is focused on the zombies pursuing the girls, in the background (top left corner) you can see the Ship ride sitting still. After the camera gets a shot of the girls, it goes back to the shot of the zombies and the Ship is now moving in full swing. The next time the zombies are shown, the Ship is sitting still again. There was no time between shots for the ride to have started and stopped so quickly.

I own this movie on DvD.
Since the long awaited sequel is finally out on DvD now for me to rent, I popped this one in again to watch it. I think I've only ever seen this movie twice in my life before this, when it came out... and at least one other time in the couple years after that. I remembered it being really good and funny. But watching it now, it doesn't hold up as well as I remembered. It's still a good movie, a zombie comedy, or as I like to call it, a Zombiedy, with some interesting characters. As is probably often pointed out, it's no where near as good as Shawn of the Dead, but it's still a fun ride. An unlikely team up movie, road trip film, zombie flick, and more.
I hope the sequel is a good movie to. But for now I still have this one, and I do enjoy it.
Mistake Status: Haven't looked yet, but this is one I for sure will get to.
Columbus: You see? You just can't trust anyone. The first girl I let into my life and she tries to eat me.
Trivia: During the flashback scene with Tallahassee and the dog, that dog is Abigail Breslin's dog in real life.
Question: If the character's nicknames (Columbus, Tallahassee, etc) come from their destinations, how come Witchita & Little Rock have different names, when they're sisters and are coming from - and heading to - the same place?

Answer: The names come from their hometowns, not their destinations. Witchita is much older than Little Rock; she could have spent the majority of her childhood in Witchita before her family moved to Little Rock where her sister was born. She still considers Witchita to be her "hometown".
