Ending / spoiler

(6 votes)

Stephen is bitten and changed into a zombie. Peter shoots him in the head.
In the end the bikers all break into the mall letting thousands of the living dead in. A bloodbath ensures.
Peter and a pregnant Francine escape via their helicopter on the roof. They fly off, low on fuel and seemingly nowhere safe to go.

Continuity mistake: When a zombie's head is held up in the truck to be shot, there is a big splatter of blood down on the face of the soldier. He wipes a very small amount of blood off, but when he gets into the other truck he is perfectly clean. (01:05:05)

Dr. Foster: Every dead body that is not exterminated becomes one of them. It gets up and kills! The people it kills get up and kill.

Question: Wouldn't the mall staff have removed any gas from the car parked inside the mall?

Answer: Not necessarily, there are many instances where cars are parked inside of malls or even stadiums for promotional purposes. It is a lot easier to have gas in the car if it needs to be moved or replaced for any reason.
