The group spotting a herd of wild horses.Frank spending his last moments to tell his daughter he loves her.The group then proceeds to just goof off and have fun like the outbreak had never happened. Is it dark and ashen and filled with infected? Nope, in fact, the fluorescent lights are still on, and the store is largely untouched. Just moments after narrowly avoiding being torn apart by a mob of infected, Jim, Frank, Hannah, and Selena head to the nearest supermarket to raid it for supplies.And those actions are what allowed at least Jim to live. Even with the great possibility that many may not even be able to awaken and use them later. With how dangerous the infected are, it would likely be very dangerous for someone, presumably a hospital worker or other good Samaritan, to spend that extra time locking the rooms of the patients who physically cannot flee, and then giving them the key to get out later. When Jim first awakens in the hospital, disoriented and confused, what allows him to get out of his room was the fact that someone slipped the key under his door, after having presumably locked it to keep the zombies from reaching him.A blink-and-you'll-miss-it subtle one, but when Frank wakes Jim from a nightmare, Jim mumbles, "Thanks, Dad" before he goes back to sleep.What Could Have Been: Colin Farrell, Willem Dafoe and Charlize Theron were originally set to star.This turned the raw footage into a huge, incomprehensible mess that meant the editors had to make wonders to properly edit the movie (Jordan had no properly developed film infrastructure). That meant 4+ camera teams filming everything at all times. Bigelow wanted to immerse audiences "into something that was raw, immediate and visceral" (her own words).They even got shot a few times (for real). To the point of having extras drop and/or throw real nails, wood and rocks over the actors in some scenes. Nobody got air conditioning or a private bathroom.He used Chinese fireworks as propellant and one day while working in the ammo, the heat and friction caused the fireworks to blow in his face. The movie's armorer had to make ammo for a sniper rifle from scratch because supplies did not clear Jordanian customs on time.And the bomb disposal suit he had to wear weighed 36-45 kg (80-100 lb). Jeremy Renner got food bugs and food poisoning during production. Temperatures averaged 44° C (120° F) over the 44 days it took to shoot the movie. Kathryn Bigelow (the director) actually wanted to film in Iraq for a more authentic experience and only pedaled back to Jordan when the production security team told her they couldn't guarantee the crew's safety from snipers. Within miles of the Iraqi border no less.
