History Headscratchers / ZombielandDoubleTap

** It's possible that some other people went to Bill Murray's house in between the time of the two movies after the protagonists did. They found Bill Murray's corpse, saw the gunshot wound that was not in his chest, carefully touched Bill Murray's remains enough with plastic gloves or rubber gloves to learn that Bill Murray was wearing make-up to look like a zombie, put two-and-two together, and then used a working radio to tell survivors that Bill Murray was accidentally killed because somebody mistook Bill for a zombie because Bill was using make-up to fool zombies.

** She probably looks for food, water, and sanitation throughout the mall, given that she encounters Columbus in one of the stores. Plus, she does wear a heavy winter jacket to protect her from the cold of the freezer. As for boredom, knowing her personality, she likely found some women's fashion/gossip/sex (eg. Cosmopolitan) magazines to keep her entertained.

** As bubbly as she is, she has survived long enough she might understand why they would kill her in that situation. She also knows that Columbus didn’t miss but deliberately shot over her head, which at least shows there was enough affection between them that he didn’t want to kill her even when he thought she was turning.

** The amount of purging that took place might have reduced the amount of allergen in her system and bought her time to find medicine. The shot of them driving away lingers on her discarded belongings so she might have had an epipen in her jacket or purse.

** Best answer is ego. Flagstaff and Albuquerque were egotistical to where they didn't ask for help, believing they could handle it. And Tallassee and Columbus stood back because they weren't asked for help (Columbus introducing us to the new rule of "Never be afraid to ask for help.")

** Madison's name might actually be her name. It's another stroke of luck that it happened to be the name of a city as well. Reno is just as paranoid as Tallahassee about giving her real name or even what city she's from, and Albuquerque and Flagstaff are personality clones of Tallahassee and Columbus. Not sure if anyone besides Little Rock and the main group call Berkeley by that name, but he was fine with adapting to it to impress Little Rock.

*** Actually, wrong on both counts, Madison is the one who comes up with dropping things on zombies, and Tallahassee is the one who makes then use the shields, before that point the only reason Babylon survived, was because of in-universe plain luck, The walls probably helped for smaller hordes, who couldn't pile up and get over the wall, plus the smarter versions of Zombies seem to be a recent development, it probably took time for the T-800s to reach a number that could class as a horde.

** She read the writing on the wall and finally saw the chemistry between the other two

** Because the writers wanted to have a bunch of stupid characters in the movie more than they wanted to have a logical reason why people this stupid would survive.

** Maybe Columbus realized she was just having an allergic reaction and told her to run so that the others won't accidentally shoot her while thinking she's a zombie like how Bill Murray died.

* Either passerby people, working radios, or both. Take your pick.

** To be fair, Albuquerque and Flagstaff were battling the super-zombies. While those two mentioned super-zombies before, they admitted that the fled from the super-zombies previously. So, in other words, they never actually fought the super-zombies until the scene where the super-zombies surrounded the monster truck.
*** Actually they had. Flagstaff alluded to calling them bolts after Usain.

** I assume it's fourth-wall breaking

* Why didn't Tallahassee and Columbus help Flagstaff and Albuquerque? I know there's the "always ask for help" rule, but especially with the T-800s becoming harder to beat, Tallahassee and Columbus should make doubly sure they have allies against the new uncertain circumstances

** To be fair, Albuquerque and Flaggstaff were battling the super-zombies. While those two mentioned super-zombies before, they admitted that the fled from the super-zombies previously. So, in other words, they never actually fought the super-zombies until the scene where the super-zombies surrounded the monster truck.

** Little Rock met with Nevada before Columbus, Tallahassee and Wichita, so it is likely that she told her about it and Nevada made up the saying ("Murraying") before they arrived. It is equally likely that Little Rock left out the part where Columbus killed him and she didn't know, or she ''did'' tell Nevada, Nevada ''did'' know it was Columbus and she was just messing with him.

** How did Columbus know Zombie Kill of the Week with Sister Cynthia Knickerbocker dropping a piano on a zombie in the first film? The only answer that makes sense is that he heard about it in his traveling (in the first film, he may have heard about the Zombie Kill of the Week from some passerby he encountered before he ran into Tallahassee. Maybe that story he told Tallahassee about Beverly Hills may have been true). And since a while did pass, it could be surmised that before they ended up at the White House, they came across another group of survivors who were on their way somewhere and Columbus heard about it (though it's hard to know if the attempted Zombieland TV show is considered canon to the films or if it's unique thing. If it is, then there's a lot of times that Columbus and company ran into others or had communications with others).

** She had her purse with her, which we see Wichita throw out of the van along with her coat. If she had anything to counteract the allergic reaction she was having, she would have kept it closer to her than in her bags that got left at the White House. It just happens to be dumb luck that Wichita threw them out and Madison went back after the van took off to find it.
