Zombieland – The Survival Rules (Columbus’ Zombieland Rules List)
Zombieland – Columbus’ Zombieland Survival Rules
zombieland zombie survival list
In the movie Zombieland, the main character, Columbus (Jesse Eisenberg), has a list of Zombieland rules. These rules are revealed and referenced throughout the Zombieland movie.
Columbus’ Zombieland Survival Rules
I’ve scoured the web to compile the list of Columbus’ Zombieland survival rules. It has been fabled that there is a complete Zombieland Survival Rules list that was created for the movie, but of this complete list, only a few were referenced in the movie. In all of my searching, the complete list has eluded me. I have found several rules which may (or may not) be part of the original, complete list. These unconfirmed rules are noted below as being such.
According to a trailer. From a TV Spot. From a TV Spot. From a TV Spot. From a TV Spot. Changed in the movie, after it’s defined, to “Be a hero.” aka: When in doubt, know your way out. From a TV Spot.

Awesome post. Zombieland was a wicked movie I’m glad I’m not the only one that wanted this survival list.

[...] the joke to joke humor between characters, clever narration, light-hearted depiction(twinkies), and hilarious zombie strategy throughout the film makes it a [...]

Y’all should make a series for zombie land with the original cast. “Zombie kill of the week” where there is a half hour each week that shows the zombie kill of that week. (could be in any state).
Another idea is to make a few more movies and keep the original cast. what they are doing is traveling the united states finding others that are not zombies trying to save them and making “zombie killing” a profession. Each place can have different things like in the hick places the safe people have domesticated zombies and made zombie farms, or doing things that kind of relate to that state.

Not a new rule, but a side note… In the original rulebook, rule 2 was Ziploc Bags, but it was changed.
As a side note… Zombieland is one of the best films to come out in recent years, and probably ever… I would love to see this in the original plan of TV series or at the least a movie series (assuming they keep the same cast. It is extremely annoying when they try to pass off a different actor/actress as the same character)
