Cambodian Troops Quarantine Quan'sul

Military Forces quarantine Quan'sul

There has been a small outbreak of “zombism” in a small town near the border of Laos in North-Eastern Cambodia.

The culprit was discovered to be mosquitoes native to that region carrying a new strain of Malaria which thus far has a 100 percent mortality rate and kills victims in fewer than 2 days.

After death, this parasite is able to restart the heart of its victim for up to two hours after the initial demise of the person where the individual behaves in extremely violent ways from what is believed to be a combination of brain damage and a chemical released into blood during “resurrection.”

Cambodian officials say that the outbreak has been contained and the public has no need to worry.

General Ary Serey had this to say, "We have obtained samples of this new parasite and plan to learn how it starts the heart and other major organs of the deceased. We intend to use this to increase the quality of life for all."

US Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice opposed the plan saying that the Cambodian government holds a great biological weapon and should destroy it immediately. Cambodian officials have yet to comment.

A United Nations team will be dispatched to Cambodia to confirm the safety of biological research in Cambodia.

Go to mum's, kill Phil, grab Liz, go to The Winchester, have a nice cold pint, and wait for all of this to blow over.

How's that for a slice of fried gold?

:P

23. There is no "i" in team, but there is an "i" in pie.

And there's an "i" in meat pie. Meat is the anagram of team... I don't know what he's talking about.

AWESOME flick. I need that for my DVD collection.

[Rob H.]

24. I've watched it a BUNCH of times since I got the DVD

By itself, with director's commentary, with actors' commentary, and once with the "Zomb-o-Meter" option active--it shows little bits of trivia throughout the movie. I loved it (obviously)! Highly recommended.

On edit: It also has deleted scenes, a re-shot scene of Ed, Shaun, and Pete arguing in the living room that replaces the word "fuck" with "funk" (they did it for when it's shown on airlines), and it fills in the some plot holes about what happened when Shaun led the zombies away from The Winchester, how Dianne survived, and how Ed wound up back in the garden shed after being bitten. It also has a bit called "The Man Who Would Be Shaun" where Simon Pegg does a dead-on Michael Caine impression and a scene with Pete and Shaun arguing in the kitchen as Paul McCartney and John Lennon.
