Zombieland: Double Tap
There are a few determine qualities that helpedZombielandstand out when it debut in theater back in 2009 , let in its use of " rule " t0 serve man live on the zombie Book of Revelation . As designed by Columbus ( Jesse Eisenberg ) , these33 Zombieland rulesvaried from practical ( " Cardio " or " Limber Up " ) to paranoid ( " Beware of Bathrooms " ) and were visually portray in large block letters , splashed or dangled across the screen for maximum impact .
The rules prevail in the ten - years - in - the - making sequel , Zombieland : doubled Tap , which pick up with the four protagonists from the first picture show as they embark on a raw escapade that includes stops at the White House , Graceland and a hipster utopia nickname Babylon . While the pattern for survival are less prevalent in the second picture show , there is a hilariously memorable succession in which they are not only outlined , but contrasted with another graphic symbol who thinks a raft like Columbus .

InZombieland : Double Tap , Columbus , Tallahassee ( Woody Harrelson ) , andWichita ( Emma Stone)take off in pursuit of Little Rock ( Abigail Breslin ) , who has limp a drive with new character Berkeley ( Avan Jogia ) in an endeavour to see other untried multitude . The remaining three traverse her to Graceland , where they stop in on Nevada ( Rosario Dawson ) , before coming expression to face with their doppelganger , Albuquerque ( Luke Wilson ) and Flagstaff ( Thomas Middleditch ) . The confrontation between the comparable - tending men becomes an opportunity for ego - referential humour , specially when Columbus and Flagstaff compare and counterpoint their respective rules for survival of the fittest .
Many of Flagstaff ’s rule straightaway mirror Columbus ' , albeit with slightly altered word choices . Most notably , Flagstaff has adopted the term " teaching " in place of rule , slant into the whim that a religious devotion to the regulation is require to survive . Like Columbus , Flagstaff ’s Commandments include a focus on drill , the purpose of plastic bags for nutrient , a fear of going to the privy and an avoidance of perishable foods .
A significant divergence is their # 1 rule : whereas Columbus focuses on the need for cardio to facilitate outrun the zombies ( a level promptly demonstrated in the climax of the film ) , Flagstaff has " teamwork " as his top priority . Considering the emphasis on mob and sticking together that underlines the narration ofDouble Tap , there ’s slight doubt that Columbus will integrate Flagstaff ’s first Commandment into his lexicon of rules move forrader .
One raw plus to Columbus ' lean is " Do n’t be afraid to ask for help " ( Rule 52 ) , which comes into frolic in striking fashion when Albuquerque and Flagstaff elect to take on a group of zombie independently . Between this dominion and an early revelation from new character reference Madison ( Zoey Deutch ) , there is the proffer that the list of linguistic rule has expanded to more than 70 in the interceding decade between the first film and the sequel , though very few of these new additions are elaborated on .
In some way , Zombieland : Double Tapseems less concerned in work out on the new rules . Instead , the sequel prioritise the categorisation of the zombies by name , including nicknames for obtuse zombi ( Homer ) , smart zombies ( Hawkings ) , and stealth zombies ( Ninjas ) . This , of track , makes sense yield the insertion of fresh and meliorate , hard - to - belt down zombi ( theTerminator - theme T-800 ) , who drive a substantial part of the photographic film ’s engagement . Still , one does have to wonder : what are all of those other rules that Columbus is forcing his companions to live by ? !
