History NightmareFuel / Outbreak

* The symptoms of Motaba are basically painful flu-like symptoms followed by death, at least as far as we see. ''Ebola'', on the other hand, is disturbingly horrifying, essentially rendering the body to a barely-living bag of blood as internal organs break down, bleed out, and essentially disintegrate until the host dies. Suffice to say, be ''glad'' they didn't show that.
** They actually verbally describe it. Robby describes the inside of Jimbo's body as looking like a bomb went off inside it.

* The movie theater sequence, where the sick hospital worker is unwittingly coughing out the airborne version of Motaba, and you get to see how easy it is for that virus to spread.
** Now imagine [[FridgeHorror watching this]] while ''sitting in a movie theater in RealLife''.

* The Army killing the families attempting to escape and holding a family in a car with a young child at gunpoint.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AgZ5goJibn0 The trailer.]] It ends with the army announcing quarantines of more US cities, from Portland to Chicago. This doesn't happen in the film, but it's still terrifying to hear...

* The scene where the army kills the families attempting to escape and points loads of weapons at a family in a car with a young child.

* The opening sequence with a fuel air bomb being dropped on an infected mercenary, while lacking the sustained horror of the Motaba virus itself, still manages to be pretty nasty. Particularly the split-second shot we get of a hapless soldier being torn in two by the blast wave, sending entrails flying out of his body before his flesh is burned to ashes. It's almost like the director saw the infamous (and then-recent) dream sequence from ''Film/Terminator2JudgmentDay'' that depicted people being graphically ripped apart by a nuclear blast, and thought, "Yeah, that needs more {{gorn}}."

* Averted, oddly enough. The symptoms of Motaba are basically painful flu-like symptoms followed by death, at least as far as we see. ''Ebola'', on the other hand, is disturbingly horrifying, essentially rendering the body to a barely-living bag of blood as internal organs break down, bleed out, and essentially disintegrate until the host dies.
