Recently, Sony Pictures' opening LOGO, Goddess of Torch, unexpectedly went out of the circle.
For example: in "The Grudge", the goddess keeps her long hair, and instantly becomes Li Guijia coconut;
The torch goddess in "The Smurfs" was just a human-shaped standing card, but was overthrown by the blue sister.
In "Men in Black: Global Wanted", the goddess not only wears sunglasses with the man in black logo, but the torch she holds has also become an amnestic device used by the man in black.
In the movie "Zombie Paradise 2" that my cousin will recommend today, the zombies rushing in front of you, the goddess can also become female heroes.
Not only was he not flustered, but he was so skillful that he smashed the zombies to death with two sticks, and his face seemed to read:
You don't endure Lao Tzu.
Just seeing this nonsensical title, you should know that this is not a serious zombie horror movie——
"Zombieland 2"
Zombieland: Double Tap
0 1
The 2009 "Zombieland" can be regarded as the dark horse work in the European and American zombie films after the new millennium.
The film is not favored where it was filmed, with a budget of only 20 million US dollars, and it is also a low-cost work in horror films.
The biggest shortcoming of the film is that it is poor, too poor!
The leading actors are a group of unknown second-line actors, and many of the set props are printed on paper. Even the most commonly used plasma in zombie films has to be done later.
Unexpectedly, after the movie, not only the word of mouth exploded, but it still maintains 90% of the freshness on Rotten Tomatoes. And the box office is equally gratifying, with a huge box office of 100 million US dollars in the world, and the rate of return is amazing.
What’s even more powerful is that this film also has a " koi physique "——
After the film was released, from the leading actors in front of the stage to the screenwriter and director behind the scenes, all ushered in the peak of their careers.
Actress Emma Stone first won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress by virtue of "Birdman". Later, he won the Oscar for "City of Philharmonic",
And the other three starring Woody Harrison , Jesse Eisenberg and Abigail Breslin also won Oscar nominations one after another.
Even the female zombie character Amber Heard, who played soy sauce for two minutes in the movie , became popular in the world last year for her stunning looks in "Aquaman".
As for the director of the film, Ruben Frescher . It was a blockbuster because of this debut, and later directed the box office hit "Venom" .
The two screenwriters of the film, Ritter Rees and Paul Wernicke, are the screenwriters of the "Deadpool" series.
It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the Koi crew.
It is precisely because of this that both fans of the film and the creator themselves indicate that such a film should have a sequel.
Finally, after a lapse of 10 years, the film's director Ruben once again returned with the original crew, bringing this authentic sequel.

Considering that the time between the previous work is too long, my cousin will give you a brief review of the plot setting of the previous work.
As its name suggests, "Zombie Paradise" is a zombie comedy full of sand sculptures and joy .
So the film--
Although it is a zombie theme, there are also bloody and violent scenes, but the style is partial to sand sculpture, more like a road comedy.
Like the routines of many zombie movies, the story begins with an outbreak of a bizarre zombie virus.
But the zombies in "Zombie Paradise" are neither because of biochemical experiments, nor the mysterious rituals of cult organizations.
Just because there was an unlucky ghost who accidentally ate a hamburger contaminated with a mysterious virus and turned into a zombie.
From then on, the virus spread from ten to ten, causing the whole world to be in chaos, and mankind fell into the panic of the zombie tide.
But in the apocalypse, there are also some survivors who have started the difficult way of survival for zombies.
The first is the No. 1 actor Columbus , he is a standard weak otaku.
With a timid personality, he has a long-term crush on the neighbor goddess next door, but he dare not confess. After finally waiting for the goddess to throw in her arms, only to find that the other party had become a zombie, so Columbus achieved the first kill mission in his life.
Since then, Columbus was forced to start his own survival.
As a standard science and engineering nerd, he has summed up a set of survival rules in his long-term struggle with zombies, including:
Exercise cardiopulmonary function, do stretching frequently, fasten seat belts, check the back seat of the car, make up for double insurance in time, don't be a hero, etc.
It sounds very ridiculous, but with this set of rules, Scrap Columbus has actually become one of the few survivors in the world.
Later, he met the second actor Tallahassee , a tough cowboy with a grumpy personality.
Unlike the otaku Columbus’s waste material attributes, Tallahassee advocates force, and there is only one principle for dealing with zombies——
Life and death bearish, just do it if you don't accept it!
Then the two met the two heroines of the film, a pair of sisters who are good at deception: Wichita and Little Stone .
When they met for the first time, the two elders were deceived twice by the two little girls, and eventually they did not fight each other.
After a series of zombie battles, the group of four gradually changed from the initial suspicion and estrangement to trust and acceptance of each other, and formed a doomsday survival tour group.
The four people went on the road together, and in the doomsday when the zombies were rampant, they were so happy that they made a bloody road.

Ten years after the sequel is the first one, it is still the setting of a zombie road comedy.
The world at this time is still rampant with zombies, and the protagonist team has gradually figured out the types of zombies during years of fighting in the sea of corpses.
According to the classification of otaku Columbus, zombies are divided into three levels:
The lowest level is Homer's zombies.
This is the one with the largest number of zombies, the most capable, and the lowest dangerous level among all zombies.
Generally, this kind of zombies are casually abused by the protagonist group, which is equivalent to the task of Novice Village.
For example, in the winter, the zombies were brought to the bronze statue, and they performed a flower job of tongue licking iron on the spot.
After the zombie’s tongue is stuck with iron, it can be killed at will.
The more advanced one is Hawking's zombies .
As the name suggests, this kind of zombie is smarter and more aggressive.
They will even imitate the trajectory of human behavior, such as:
Seeing that the hunting target is opening the door with his pupils, he learns to bite off the eyeballs from the corpse and use it to open the door for verification.
So when you encounter this kind of zombie, you can't take it lightly, otherwise you may lose your life.
The most advanced and dangerous one is the ninja zombies .
They are good at hiding sneak attacks and often launch surprise attacks in the dark, so the danger is very high.
In addition, because the zombie virus has been raging for ten years, the virus has also begun to mutate.
Those mutated zombies are more dangerous and more difficult to kill, so they are called T-800 by the protagonist .
Because they are like the "Terminator" in zombies, simple physical attacks are already difficult to kill in one fell swoop.
In the process of beating zombies all the year round, the survivors also began to start the selection of the " Best Zombie Kill of the Year".
The most nonsensical of these is undoubtedly the operation of the Italian brother.
He directly overturned the Leaning Tower of Pisa, and then crushed the zombies under the tower on the spot, just like a god!

Let me talk about the storyline of the sequel.
At the beginning, the protagonists fled to the abandoned White House and used it as a fortress against zombies.
Because of the high walls of the White House, the protagonists can finally live a life of luxury and lust without worrying about the zombies.
They think of themselves as the president of the United States, and hold parties in the White House every day, all kinds of hilarious pretences.
Everything seems good, but there is a crisis within the team.
The first is the twists and turns in the relationship between Columbus and Wichita.
Although the two finally got together and talked about love, Vickyta resisted Columbus's marriage proposal.
Vicky's refusal broke Columbus's heart, but the two who were in the Cold War accidentally ran into a third party.
On the way to search for food, Columbus accidentally encountered a surviving blonde.
The other party was a hot stupid silly Baitian, and coupled with the initiative to hug and hug, Columbus was at a loss for a while.
At the same time, ten years of getting along has created a family relationship between the old cowboy Tallahassee and Little Rock like a father and daughter.
Tallahassee always, like his father, strictly disciplines Little Stone's words and deeds, only to make the youthful and rebellious Little Stone even more disgusted.
So, taking advantage of the parents' carelessness, Xiao Shitou quietly ran away from home alone.
In order to find the little stones, everyone had to embark on an adventurous journey again, and once again opened the way to survive the doomsday.
On the way, the old cowboy Tallahassee met Nevada, a female warrior with the same tough personality, and had a good opinion of each other.
Afterwards, they learned that Little Stone actually followed a young hippie on the road to their camp, Babylon.
The so-called Babylon is actually a peaceful gathering area formed by these hippie youths.
They oppose violence here, and survivors who enter have to lay down their weapons, and then advocate equality and love for all.
It seems to be a paradise on earth, but the protagonists know well--
Once an army of zombies attacked, these hippie youths, who could only shout slogans and enjoy themselves, were simply unable to resist the attack.
However, this group of lawless youths still have to celebrate the party and hold a firework ceremony at the party.
The crisis followed, and a group of T-800-level zombies launched a siege here.
The group of four who have not found their own zombie paradise must face a new round of zombie battle royale...
0 5
As a sequel, "Zombie Paradise 2" well continues the style and setting of the previous work.
If the road adventure in the previous game was the protagonist's initiative to survive, the sequel was forced to go on the road because of a crisis within the protagonist.
As a result, the film introduced the concept of " family " for the sequel . This group of survivors who were forced to get together because of disaster escape also gradually developed feelings and fetters in a series of adventures.
Compared with the previous one, it can be said that this sequel is much more tender.
On the other hand, the movie also inherited the genre and style of the previous film, and the zombie doomsday is accompanied by joy and blood.
In terms of entertainment:
The movie strikes a balance between horror and comedy, and the protagonists' mouths are matched with American humor, which makes people can't help but laugh .
Even as the biggest selling point of zombie movies, the protagonist's process of killing zombies and adventurously survives has also been spoofed.
Whether it's the protagonist Columbus's strange "Law of Zombie Survival", or the best zombies killing spoof creative settings, they are all very creative.
If you are a fan of zombie themes, this "Zombie Paradise 2" is still very worth watching.
