The rules from Zombieland

By Jack Brummet, Film Editor

I really liked this movie a lot. . .and the rules were good.  Of the 32 or 33 rules alluded to by Columbus in the film, these are the ones specifically mentioned.


Cardio (Rule #1) Build up that endurance.

Limber Up (Rule #18) Don't pull a muscle running or dodging.

When in doubt, know your way out (Rule #22) "This rule is all about knowing your surroundings and preparing yourself for the worst,” says Columbus.

The Double Tap” (Rule #2)  "In those moments when you're not sure
that the undead are really dead-dead, don't get all stingy with your bullets…You can avoid becoming a human happy meal.”

Check the back seat (Rule 31)  “The last thing you need while driving is to have a zombie crawling up behind you trying to bite you.”

Wear Seatbelts (Rule #4)You won't be driving along easy roads anymore. You need to be ready for a crash!”


Beware of bathrooms (Rule #3) "Just because it's not socially acceptable to climb under cubicle doors, it doesn't mean the zombies won't do it."

"Enjoy the little things (Rule #32)  “Without enjoying the little things, it's all too easy for you to lose sanity and peace of mind from the constant stress and pains of staying alive.”

Don't Be a Hero (Rule #17)Possibly the most important rule of all. Don't risk your own life just to make yourself look good."

BE a Hero (also Rule  #17) Every good rule is meant to be broken.
