In George Romero's Land of The Dead, John Leguizamo shoots a junkyard zombie in the eye with an arrow and speaks to the zombie in Spanish. I caught the words puta and madre but does anyone know what he said in Spanish to the zombie?

I guess I can safely say it wasn't "Have a nice day!"  Buggedout Buggedout

Possibly "Tu Madre Es Puta" simply meaning "Your Mother is a b***h"/"Son of a b***h" etc.

Tu madre es una puta means "your mother is a whore"
Tu madre es una perra means "your mother is a dog"
This of course means "your mother is a b***h" or just calling
the person: sonofab***h ----I love the economy of American English/
Anyhow most peple don`t make the distinction between b***h and whore
but I think they mean two totally different things. Its just that to people
whose first language is not English the two things are pretty much
synonymous. Also, of course, sonofagun is the word-economic version of
"Your mother is a whore" based on wenches that used to service the sailors
in the ships. Whew!! now if someone would just tell me what a squall is
I can rest in peace!!!

A "squall" is a sudden storm or violent gust of wind.

Well, I meant something that sounds like squall thats used to mean some native american
woman, perhaps derogatively. E.g., like Ho. Ughh I guess I shall not continue this thread cause
we're getting off topic. Your original question was perfectly  good though since it refered to a
movie. Thanks

"Squaw" is a word used to refer to female Native Americans. It's been popularized that this is actually a term for female genitals, but the etymology is controversial and this is almost certainly not true. It is, however, a very offensive and derogatory term, so I wouldn't go around using it.

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.
