If you go back and look at the release dates for the movies I've covered in these detailed trivia quizzes, you'll notice that most, or nearly all of them, are from the 1970's and 80's. With good reason--those decades are my favorite, movie-wise. However, I do appreciate movies from the 1990's and into the 21st century. So let's do one that's a bit more recent. "28 Days Later" was an extremely influential horror film. You can make a strong case that it reignited interest in the zombie movie. Even if the creatures in "28 Days Later" aren't technically zombies, since they're infected living humans, not reanimated corpses. But so what--they're certainly zombie-ish, in that they're mindless, savage monsters. Anyway, let's get to it--normal format, many SPOILERS ahead, you know the drill.

28) She qualified as a chemist, known as a pharmacist to some folks around the world.

40) Evidently the hospital had a good generator, and its power lasted longer than the rest of London. And the intravenous fluids continued to hydrate and nourish Jim until close to his wakeup time.
41) Clearly noise and movement attracts them, so using their eyes and ears. But it seems to be something else as well, as they can still tell the difference between infected and uninfected people. In other words, even if an uninfected person stays silent, and motionless, the infected still seem to go after them. And since the movie doesn't have supernatural elements, I think that uninfected people have a different odor, and the infected can detect them using their sense of smell.
42) We don't see them doing it, but since they're still living humans, they clearly are drinking water at least every 2 or 3 days or so. And probably eating something on occasion, too, since some would surely have died from starvation otherwise.
43) The kid that Jim kills at the gas station says, "I hate you!"
