1 | * The opening scenes are chock full of shout outs to other zombie movies: |
2 | ** The shout out to the ''Film/DawnOfTheDead2004'' remake with the woman who has little girl zombies in her neighborhood. Also the opening moments in front of the White House is another shout out to the same movie. |
3 | ** The stripper zombie is a shout to the ones in ''Film/ResidentEvilApocalypse''. |
4 | * A subtle one from ''Literature/WorldWarZ''. In the book, a guy in the Long Island mansion brags about his exact copy of Tony Montana's AK-47 from ''Film/{{Scarface 1983}}'', despite the fact that Montana used an M-16. Cue ''Zombieland'''s opening, with a guy dressed as Tony wielding a Kalashnikov. |
5 | * Towards the end of the standoff between Columbus and Tallahassee when they first meet, the watch chime from ''Film/ForAFewDollarsMore'' is used. |
6 | * "I'm more of a [[Literature/DonQuixote Sancho Panza]] character." |
7 | * This exchange: |
8 | -->'''Columbus (narrating):''' Asskicking was his business, and- |
9 | -->'''Tallahassee:''' [[Music/{{Megadeth}} Business is good.]] |
10 | * Tallahassee makes a few references to ''Film/{{Deliverance}}'' during the supermarket scene, the banjo being one aaaand... |
11 | -->''"You got a purty mouth!"'' |
12 | * "I hate to give credit to a guy who looks like [[Franchise/LooneyTunes Yosemite Sam]], but I'm writing it down! Rule #32: Enjoy the little things." |
13 | * The Gas n' Gulp station may be a reference to the iconic gas chain in ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons''. |
14 | * At Hollywood, there's posters for ''Film/TwoThousandTwelve''. |
15 | * The entrance to Creator/BillMurray's mansion is filmed and framed similarly to the early stage of the first ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil'' game when the characters enter the Spencer Mansion, it even has a similar staircase. |
16 | * Given the involvement of Murray, movies starring him such as ''Film/Ghostbusters1984'' (which Columbus shows to Little Rock and the others play pretend as), ''Film/{{Garfield}}'' (Bill's [[OldShame only regret]]) and ''Film/{{Caddyshack}}'' (in an unused take between Tallahassee and a dying Murray put as an after credits {{Stinger}}) are brought up. |
17 | * [[Film/PulpFiction "You know what they call Twinkies in Mexico?"]] |
18 | * Tallahassee's "farewell" to Columbus is "That'll do, pig" from ''Film/{{Babe}}''. Columbus even calls him out on it. |
19 | * [[Film/AllAboutEve "Fasten your seatbelt, it's going to be a bumpy ride."]] |
20 | * Tallahassee's ride on a roller coaster swarming with zombies brings to mind {{rail shooter}}s like ''VideoGame/HouseOfTheDead'', especially ''VideoGame/{{CarnEvil}}'', which, as it suggests, has you on a roller coaster fighting zombies. |
21 | * At the end, all Wichita needed was a red jacket to match her [[VideoGame/Left4Dead Zoey ponytail]]. |
