Continuity mistake: When Jim and the other two characters are making their way to Jim's parents house, they are seen on the Docklands Light Railway track going towards a place called Island Gardens. The next shot shows them at a station called East India which is completely the other direction to where they were going down the track. Obviously, only users of the railway would pick up on such error though.
28 Days Later (2002)
Ending / spoiler
Directed by: Danny Boyle
Starring: Brendan Gleeson, Cillian Murphy, Christopher Eccleston, David Schneider, Alex Palmer, Bindu De Stoppani, Jukka Hiltunen
We are led to believe the UK has been cut off from the rest of the world to prevent the 'rage' virus from spreading. All of the soldiers are evil rapists except two. They all die. Jim, Selena and Hannah escape the soldiers' house and make it to a remote farm house. They put up what at first seems to be a distress sign as a army plane flies over them, but it is later revealed to say "hello," since they are actually safe and are not in need of being saved. They have escaped the quarrantine. The newly released alternate ending features Jim dying in the hospital as Selena tries to revive him and Hannah watches over. Once they realize it's hopeless, the last view is of them walking away, leaving Jim's corpse.

Selena: Plans are pointless. Staying alive is as good as it gets.
Trivia: Mark was likely not infected. The wound on his arm was clean-cut and probably from either glass or a weapon wound. A bite mark would look very different. It is likely that he asked Selena to wait because he was scared and knew what she was like.
Question: Why do some people infected with the rage just die while others spread it and have to die out by starvation? For example, why did the main character's parents die lying peacefully in bed instead of while foraging for others to infect and eventually starving to death?
Answer: Jim's parents did not get infected with Rage. They decided to commit suicide, hence the pills and alcohol beside the bed. They basically decided that it was better to die than become infected, hence the message on the back of the picture. Those that are infected with Rage, the length of time it takes to die probably relates to how they were infected. If they were infected through the mouth or something similar then they would live for a while, if they were infected through a serious wound then obviously they would become infected but would not live as long because of the serious injury.
