This is pretty much the Gurren Lagann of zombie movies, so nut up or shut up.
- A standout example of this trope is Tallahassee's caged-in pistol massacre of the zombie horde towards the end of the film. Accompanied by Crowning Music of Awesome http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X Nwl 4 XP Otj 8
- The entire context shall be listed here just to emphasize how awesome the moment is. Columbus must rescue Wichita and Little Rock from an entire carnival's worth of zombies. Tallahassee initiates a last stand, calling all of the zombies to him so Columbus can save the others. The music breaks into the most desperate last stand track ever, slow motion rules and we all know that the camera is going to pan back to a broken cage and Tallahasse dead inside. Except it doesn't.
- And the look on his face tops it all off.
- Hell, just... See for yourself.
- Tallahassee, barreling along on a roller-coaster, and shooting zombies the whole way.
- Columbus vs. the clown zombie.
- Hell, all of Columbus's Big Damn Heroes moment. He chooses to go back and rescue the girls who had done nothing but torment him and Tallahassee from their own stupidity. Damn heroic.
Oh my God. Look at this fucking clown. Of course, it had to be a clown. No, it had to be a clown. And it had to be Wichita for me to finally understand-- —that some rules are made to be broken. Time to nut up or shut up. Fuck this clown.
