Zombieland Rule #21 – Avoid Strip Clubs
As with Rule 8, this series of promotional posters reveals a couple of new rules from Zombieland. Still unlikely to be part of the official canon, but here none-the-less.

A series of promotional posters reveals a couple of new rules from Zombieland. It’s unclear how canonical they are, but while Rule 1 is correct, Rule 4 doesn’t tie with what we know from the film, so the jury’s still out on these ones.
Rule #8 – Get A KickAss Partner
One of commentors, Michael, has pointed out that the Zombieland App for the iPhone/cellphones has it’s own set of rules.
#2 Zipplock
#3 Double Tap
#5 Shoot first
#7 Incoming!
#8 Break it up
#9 With your bare hands
#10 Don’t swing low
#11 Use your feet
#13 Shake it off
#22 Opportunity knocks
#24 Use your thumbs
While these were likely invented by the game makers (certainly use your thumbs must be, though you wouldn’t get far without them!) perhaps they were given a spec from an uncut version of the film which contained a few of these for real.
Can anybody confirm these rules from the game?
In the UK we’ve absolutely no idea what a Twinkie is, which is surprising given how often it’s mentioned in American pop-culture. So what do we do when the zombocalypse breaks out? We’ll make our own!
Below is an instructional video and guide to making a Twinkie. Make sure to watch the video to the end to see what happens to 13 year old Twinkies (Tallahassee is right, they do have a shelf life!).
Ingredients for the cake:
NB: Now I don’t actually know what golden pound cake mix is. I think it’s a kind of Madeira cake but if you wanted to make the whole thing yourself it refers to a cake made with a pound of butter, a pound of flour, eggs (8) and a pound of sugar. If you don’t want to make as many then weigh equal amounts of the other ingredients to the weight of the eggs you are using and do it that way.
Ingredients for the filling:
NB: Yeah, good luck getting marshmallow creme in the UK. If you want to make it yourself, simply melt about 16 large marshmallows and a couple of teaspoons of corn syrup on a double boiler (a double boiler lets heat spread evenly across things that need to be melted slowly, basically you have another pan above boiling water. Just raid a home store.)
Instructions:
Okay, now you’re ready to Nut Up or Shut Up.
In an interview with Attack Of The Show, Zombieland writers Paul Wernick and Rhett Reese discuss some of the rules that never made it into the film, but should make it into the sequel!
The discussion of new Zombieland rules start at about the 3:00 mark.
While there’s no numbers associated with the new rules we are treated to 4 more.
The marathon rule isn’t overly catchy but the stain stick is probably a necessity for getting zombie brains out of your clothes.
If we manage to get numbers associated with these, we’ll keep you updated.
