History YMMV / TwentyEightDaysLater

*** Though this could be a subversion, as Jim wasn't looking for cheeseburgers, but to make his first infected kill so he could be prepared to do it more in the future.

* FridgeLogic: The main reason why the ''"Radical Alternate Ending"'', [[spoiler:which would’ve involved a blood transfusion as a way to cure the rage virus]], wasn’t used in favor of what was shown in the final film.
-->'''Creator/DannyBoyle''': "And that was the problem right there with this ending. We established that one drop in the eye can infect someone, [[spoiler:then how in the flying fuck are we gonna sell that the idea that this blood transfusion idea was gonna work? What do you do, clean out every capillary and vein with bleach]]?"

** Creator/NaomieHarris played Tia Dalma in the [[Film/PiratesOfTheCaribbeanDeadMansChest second]] and [[Film/PiratesOfTheCaribbeanAtWorldsEnd third]] ''Franchise/PiratesOfTheCaribbean'' films. She portrays [[spoiler:Moneypenny]] in Creator/DanielCraig's ''Film/JamesBond'' films (specifically, ''Film/{{Skyfall}}'' and ''Film/{{Spectre}}'').

** The rest of the soldiers too. [[spoiler: Are they really driven mad and gone monstrous enough to rape innocent women? How many of them would have actually gone through with it? Some theorise that they may have raped Selena but would have stopped [[EvenEvilHasStandards short of raping Hannah too]]]]. Notably one of the solditrers is seen shaking his head sadly as they leave Hannah and Selena to change.

** In the first draft of the script, a full blood transfusion must be done in order to cure the virus, but many crew members realized its big {{plothole}} and joked "What do you do, clean out every capillary and vein with bleach?" Then comes in the year of 2020, in the midst of COVID-19 pandemic, U.S. President Donald Trump informed journalists and press members that injecting disinfectant into the bloodstream can cure the disease.

* CueIrony: The scene where Jim and Selena celebrate with Frank and Hannah? It was shot on the day of the September 11th terrorist attacks. Creator/DannyBoyle lampshaded how strange it felt for them to shoot an uplifting scene on such a day.

** Is Jim a CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass? Or just a moron of a chav thrown into an extreme flight or fight response that [[BewareTheNiceOnes makes him snap]] in a [[EyeScream vicious fashion]]? It doesn't help his character as his idiocy gets ActionSurvivor Mark killed, requires constant babysitting, and very nearly drags [[TheLoad Selena down with him]]. Hero or Villain, everyone [[LethallyStupid dies around him]]. This is one of the reasons why some fans prefer the [[DownerEnding alternate ending]] where he dies, and the film poetically ends where his journey all started - in a hospital.
