How Zombieland 2's Monster Truck Mayhem Scene Was Almost Very Different
How Zombieland 2's Monster Truck Mayhem Scene Was Almost Very Different-November 2024
Nov 17, 2024 7:47 AM

  One of the biggest--literally--stars of Zombieland: Double Tap is a massive monster truck that delivers more than its fair share of post-apocalypse carnage. It's one of the most entertaining sequences of the entire film. Now, with Zombieland: Double Tap available on Blu-ray, 4K Ultra HD, DVD, and digital release, you can relive it again and again.

  Beyond that, though, you can also go behind the scenes of the truck's big scene thanks to the home release's special features. Take a look at the video above, from the home release of Zombieland 2, to get an idea of just how much fun it was for everyone involved to shoot scenes with Big Fat Death, which is the truck's utterly ridiculous name.

  Now Playing: Zombieland: Tapped Out Exclusive Clip - Big Fat Death

  "From very early on we wanted to do a sequence with the monster truck. The monster truck was in the very first draft of Zombieland [2] 10 years ago, and it's still there now," co-writer Rhett Reese said in the video. "And that's because we just had these images of zombies getting ground up in these massive wheels."

  As Reese told GameSpot at a Zombieland: Double Tap event at Angel Stadium, though, the climax of the movie--and Big Fat Death's role in it--was very different. "The end of the movie used to be set in an arena like this and what better thing than to smash a million zombies with than a monster truck with the huge tires and the massive engine and the loud," explained. "We thought it melded with Tallahassee's character really well. Tallahassee he's a guy who would have loved monster trucks."

  That would have led to a very different ending to the film than a battle atop a massive tower. However, it also would have meshed well with the other bit of information the writers shared with GameSpot: That Tallahassee and the gang originally took the Rolling Stones tour bus after fighting a zombie version of the band outside of one of their concerts at a stadium.

  Zombieland: Double Tap is available now on Blu-ray, 4K Ultra HD, DVD, and digital release. In addition to the movie, you get include audio commentary, behind-the-scenes featurettes, a blooper reel, and extended scenes.
