They really took their time at the end getting on the helicopter didn't they?

After they think the pilot chick has left them she comes back, and the cities moments away from being nuked, and they got the king zombie hot on their trail, and they think its a good time to stand there and talk and the pilot takes the time to explain why she came back.

Literally they stand there talking as if they got all the time in the world. Then surprise surprise the king zombie gets to them before they can get away and it gets Batista's character killed and the pilot killed because they took the time to talk things out about why she left and why she came back for them.

It was just an unbelievably dumb moment in the movie.

It was like 1 of 100 dumb moments in the movie.
Another one was right when they were taking off after talking like a bunch of morons and flying the helicopter sideways and down allowing Zombie King to jump on them, instead of you know, flying up?

Yeah I'm not much to critique movies, I like to enjoy the ride and all but this moment was just jaw droppingly goofy. Couldn't have said it better than you did...incoming nuke, worst nightmare directly on their heels and they're going to stop and have themselves a moment.
She's explaining her "aw shucks" moment and I'm just yelling at the screen "GOOOOOoooo!!!" lol
Yeah that was a bit excruciating to watch =P

the bitch with the zombie head not getting in the chopper bothered me more. there was no reason for her to stay behind

Lol yeah she had the queens head at gunpoint, King Zombie wasn't making a move out of fear of his queen getting killed, she could've just backed up and got in the plane while she held the gun at the head. Instead she wants to have the heroic self sacrifice moment just because.

And its funny we didn't even see her die, King Zombie just yells in her face after he's got her stuck to the wall and we never see her again. I mean yeah she obviously dies when the nuke hits, but its just funny after she essentially killed his queen King Zombie does nothing to her and we don't even get an official death scene of her..
