History Awesome / Zombieland

* During the scene where Tallahassee dual-wields chainsaws, take note that the zombie is actually running ''away from'' him. That's right, no zombie is safe from Tallahassee.

--> Oh my God. Look at this fucking clown. [[WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes Of course, it had to be a clown.]] No, [[SincerityMode it]] ''[[SincerityMode had]]'' [[SincerityMode to be a clown.]] And it had to be Wichita for me to finally understand--

* A standout example of this trope is Tallahassee's caged-in pistol massacre of the zombie horde towards the end of the film. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XNwl4XPOtj8 Accompanied by]] CrowningMusicOfAwesome.

* Normally we don't approve of saying 'everything X Person does' but seriously, Tallahassee. Every single moment he is on screen is either a CrowningMomentOfFunny, a CrowningMomentOfAwesome or one memorable TearJerker.

* Tallahassee attracting zombies by playing "Dueling Banjos" from {{Deliverance}} on a banjo, then [[InstrumentOfMurder smashing a charging zombie's head in with it]] while yelling "You've got a purdy mouth!"

** The entire context shall be listed here just to emphasize how awesome the moment is. Columbus must rescue Wichita and Little Rock from an entire carnival's worth of zombies. Tallahassee initiates a last stand, calling all of the zombies to him so Columbus can save the others. The music breaks into the most desperate last stand track ever, slow motion rules and we all know that the camera is going to pan back to a broken cage and Tallahassee dead inside. [[spoiler:Except it doesn't]].

-->''"Rule 17: Don't Be A Hero" appears in background, and the word "Don't" falls off''
-->--that some rules are made to be broken. Time to nut up or shut up. Fuck this clown.

* Tallahassee, barreling along on a roller-coaster, and shooting zombies the whole way.

--->'''Talahassee:''' Did you ever read that book "She's Just Not That Into You?"

* Hell, all of Columbus's BigDamnHeroes moment. He chooses to go back and rescue the girls who had done nothing but torment him and Tallahassee from their own stupidity. Damn heroic. Of course, Rule #17: Don't Be A Hero, once he sees Wichita is in danger, changes completely to Rule #17: Be A Hero.

* Then of course, we have one of the greatest [[OneSceneWonder One Scene Wonders]] ever, Sister Cynthia Knickerbocker, and her epic [[PianoDrop "Zombie Kill of the Week]].

** Anything Tallahassee does, really.

* When Tallahassee locks himself into the shooting gallery and proceeds to take on a horde of zombies with nothing but pistols. [[spoiler:Even more awesome, counter to the expected action movie trope, he lives through it.]]
