Well, we could call in Chuck Norris, but even the zombies deserve a fair chance....

What we could do if the Zombies try to take over is get the Spirits of John Wayne;Charles Bronson;Steve McQueen;James Coburn;Robert Mitchum;Jimmy Stewart;Henry Fonda;Humphrey Bogart;Jimmy Cagney and Edward G.Robinson to go after the Zombies!!(I Could Just see The Duke Telling A Zombie "SOMEBODY OUGHTA BELT YOU ONE!!BUT I WON'T!!I WON'T!!AW THE HELL I WON'T!!".).Or get the Ghosts of Bruce Lee and Brandon Lee to put some kinda Kung Fu Whoop Ass on them!!If that don't work,well we can always get Tom Cruise to try to convert them all to Scientology!!Or get Scooby Doo and the Gang to go after them!!(If Scooby and the Gang go after them,they'll rip the mask off one of the Zombies and find out that it's Donald Trump!!(Of course,he'll tell them "Yes,I Did It!!The Old Amusement Park/Airbase/Seaport/Warehouse was where I was going to build the newest Trump Tower!!And I was trying to buy it cheap!!But you Kids had to go meddle into it and you ruined my plans!!Your'e Fired!!By the way,Daphne,how'd you like to be the next Mrs.Trump??).

Er... Thanks The Conqueroo, but that just made mankind's cause more desperate. I didn't realize until now that most of the people you mention (and some of them are serious ass-kickers) are dead and would therefore ve on THEIR side.

Now I won't be able to sleep in all night.
Due to the horrifying nature of this film, no one will be admitted to the theatre.

The Conqueroo

Naw,they wouldn't join the Zombies!!If nothing else,after Tom Cruise tries to convert them to Scientology,they'd kill him,them they'd get sick and die!!

Are YOU a Zombie infiltrator?  You seem to know an awful lot about what they would and would not do. Trying to lull us into passivity with your talk of tactics?

I don't know...can Zombies type?

Assuming Romero zombies - no, they wouldn't take over.  Only the recently dead would come back, the buried would NEVER get out.  I feel that is an important distinction to make.  We're talking only a few thousand in any geographic area.  And America has lots of guns.  Martial law would end up in many areas, but I don't see it taking that long.

How about the zombies from the "Return of the Living Dead" movies?

Flangepart

Well, yeah!
Fast Zombies spread faster, cause they provide less time to adapt to the threat.
And the RTOLD Z's are smarter, too. Well, the most recent "Converts", maby...

And what would happen when they try to take over the "violent" countries: Iraq, Iran, Lybia, the African countries, Mexico, Taiwan and Pakistan?

You know, where every citizen is a born-and-bred warrior?

Well, it depends on which film exactly, as they don't share the same continuity.  In the first (and second) film, the only dead that rose were those sprayed (or came into contact with) that toxic chemical from those barrels the government kept misplacing. 

The dead in the first two movies were virtually invincible (I mean, you had to pretty much chop them up to destroy them), unless they got in contact with electricity.  Now, I could see these guys doing a LOT of damage, but I think they'd be neutralized once the army (or whoever) found out their weakness.  (Assuming of course, they don't just say, "Screw it", block off and then nuke whatever town they happen to be in.)

Now, part three (and the others) throw continuity completely out of the window, these dead will try to bite ANYTHING on a living person (first two movies they were only after brains) and their bite spreads the sickness.

Not sure if they're invincible as well, though, I mean, in part three all they seemed to be able to do was freeze them for a bit and then contain them, so either electricity doesn't work on them, or the government never tried it.

(Yes, I know, I watch too much TV...)

Which reminds me of a story about a friend of mine.Seems he always wanted to be a Dolphin Trainer,so he got a job at Sea World and eventually he worked his way up to become a Dolphin Trainer.He became so successful that he wrote a book about it.He titled it "The Porpoise Driven Life".(Rim Shot!!).
