"I am Legend" just started...

...on TNT if anyone needs some training tonight.


Sure, Will Smith is no Charleton Heston... but he is the Fresh Prince.

Speaking of the prince, have you ever been to Philly?? Stood in line at Jim's late night? Maybe you're the zombie!


Ugghhhhh, wiz wit

I can't stand the scene where he kills Sam.

Why is this in Zombie Combat Tactics?

Movie about fighting zombies seemed like zombie combat tactics to me... but I guess if there's a movie forum, that would have been the right place. Sorry, new here. Mods can feel free to move or kill this thread.

Pretty much, they kind of hinted around at it in the movie too but never really came out and said it.

No one cares about zombie combat tactics so we just kinda lump everything in here that looks like it should be in here. That and I like twinkies.
Thanks Anianna!

Yes, but only responded to some of the traditional anti vampire methods. For example they were scared of crucifixes and garlic but could cross running water as he tested this.

the book was better. Also why did he not have a safe room or why did his base not have any LMGs,general purpose machine gun , .50 Browning Machine Gun or any anti-personnel weapon (mines,flamethowers ect). He was a U.S. Army virologist Lieutenant Colonel his base would have been very hard to get into without any RPGs or something like that. in the book they could never get into his home.

Also I don't like NYC(no guns there), if i was going to make my last stand i would be in some other state.

You guys COULD put "spoiler alert" in the title, at least, for those of us who haven't seen it yet! :lol:
Well, at least now I don't have to rent it, between this and the other threads.

I like this movie because it reassures me that all a man needs in life is a small arsenal, fast car and a loyal German Shepard. He sure did bitch a lot for living the dream.

Didn't he have a bunch of claymores rigged up in a perimeter around his house?

pardon the necropost, but I just bought the DVD earlier in the week. Since I don't have cable TV (or regular TV for that matter) I have been watching it repeatedly.

SPOILER ALERT AHEAD! :

I noticed that any time a butterfly was mentioned or shown a character or characters died in the movie.

in some respects in the last few years, I have become more interested in the art behind the movies. I always look for the symbology or foreshadowing in movies.

also, if Will Smith had a safe room to put his zombie patients in then I am wondering why he just didn't leave Sam the dog in that enclosed glass room until he discovered a cure or treatment. Yes, I cried like a little bitch too when he killed Sam. I miss having a dog around. :-(


end of spoiler

Interesting observation re: the foreshadowing. I never noticed that.
