Well no duh, if you're basically giving a person with no firearm experience a gun then that's what's going to happen. People have hurt and sometimes killed themselves by accident because they couldn't get their finger off the trigger guard what is taught to you by a firearm instructor.
The actual nuclear exchange described in the book carried way more weight than this throwaway scene. The most chilling part was actually the beginning of the chapter where Brooks is interviewing a former Iranian Air Force pilot in Greenland and says he's there because he "has nowhere else to go". Even before you know the exact reasons why it's hits you to know that this guy lost his entire country, that so few of his people are left in the world that their history and culture will soon be lost to time.

For me, what made this movie rise above any other zombie story were the little details like this-it felt really thorough with all of the things that would probably happen in a zombie apocalypse. Looting, mass panic, refugees being flown out to Navy fleets, nuclear weapons being used as a last resort. Most zombie movies feel like “the zombies have taken over the town/city.” This movie really delivers the feeling of “wow, the entire world is ending.”
The book is an infinity times better. Does a superb job in not only showing the entire course of the Z War, but also the political, social, and economic impact from the zombie threat. A really neat scenario examination that raises questions if the modern world and humanity is really capable in standing against the threat of the undead.
In the book, there are several Chinese sailors that escape on a submarine. They have no contact with the outside world, and begin to speculate about a nuclear war. That turns to irradiated zombies. I wonder what kind of mutant ghouls were created in that blast.
It's in love death and robots episode night of the mini dead. The zombies affected by the chemicals and radiation turn green, get real tall, and vomit green fire lol.
That nuke effect was adapted from the footage of a real nuclear test conducted by the US on Bikini Atoll, 1946. Operation Crossroads, codename Baker. It was recorded in black and white, and the footage was colored and restored to actually be used in WWZ. Brilliant move 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
A Russian Antonov, with US Navy painted on it, with McGuire AFB markings, an ACC style tail code (two letters, MG) and AIr Force Material Command...with the flag flying the wrong way. That’s the most jacked up movie plane ever
At close range they can blind you. At distance you're fine, doubly so though glass which will block most of the real harmful effects. Light is inversely proportional to the square of the range from the light source, at that distance they'd only receive a tiny fraction of the full flash, it also looked hazy which would block even more.
@@Hartwig870 We can't measure how far they were from the nuke and how powerful the nuke was ( I think it was the operation crossroads 20kT bomb) and by this scene they weren't far enough assuming with the shockwave hit them 3-4 seconds after. But also this was underwater nuke, there should be no visible lights from the blast in this scene but there are for a moment.
The famous Operation Crossroads ‘Baker shot’. Interestingly part of the reason this footage is so famous is that it’s quite an unconventional explosion - the bomb was underwater so the initial flash was heavily obscured, allowing for a clear view of the formation of the blast structure. Though it is regularly used to illustrate a mushroom cloud, Baker did not in fact produce a ‘mushroom cloud’ in the conventional sense; rather than a rising fireball, the shot created a column of seawater and sand/mud which was described afterwards as a ‘cauliflower’. Once the initial jet had formed, a dense Wilson cloud forms in the blast wave rarefaction, as the air above the tropical atoll contained lots of water vapour. Tl;dr though Baker shot is arguably the most impressive footage we have of a nuclear explosion, it is probably the most inappropriate example to repurpose for this scene.
Interesting how the sound of the explosion reached the plane at exactly the same time that the explosion happened, even though it was probably 20 miles away...
@@danielwest8442 That's now how sound or light travel works. The explosion and reaction part of a nuke is very quick, the resulting atmospheric effect and mushroom cloud are just an aftermath. Sound from this distance would take several minutes to travel, just look at Space X videos of returning rockets. Those are much closer and still take quite awhile.
I like how the biggest consequence to a Nuke going off is you lose your cell phone signal. He looked mildly annoyed. Damn nukes always dropping my calls lol
+/0UD N1GR4 both the scene from spongebob and the one in this movie is footage from the real life nuclear test of "Baker" in the Bikini Atoll in the 50s
For me this is a strong scene when it seems so simple. Mankind does everything to stop the spread of the virus, even nuclear resources... yet it's all in vain. And even though the sound-shouldn't-be-faster-then-the-light mistake I still like this scene very much.
I recall reading that the producers couldn’t get approval for the C-130 aerial shots. So they used a Ukrainian AN-12 and made it look like a USAF C-130. And I’m Still waiting for WWZ2 🤨
a C-130 is EMP secured, look it up, it was designed to keep flying during a nuke exchange. And also, so are tanks....they were supposed to roll in and storm whatever is left right after a nuke detonated.
@@Kenshiroit Sorry, I don't know what decade you're in but the only EMP hardened planes in the sky today are the Presidents doomsday plane and the Russian equivalent. So of course a plane designed in the last years of the vacuum tube era are going to resist an EMP (an effect that they didn't even really know about then). But if it has a modern electronics suite *cough cough* microprocessors and circuits, *cough cough* C-130J. Then it's just as venerable to EMP as any other. Dude, your only argument that would have refuted what I said is "What if the detonation was impact vs airblat" and then I would agree.
For all this movies flaws it had a lot of great small scenes like this. I just had a weight to it, like a impending dread as you know the world is ending. Not every apocalypse movies can capture that feeling.
Love how they show the blast and the sound at the exact same time... that is like 30 miles away though and would probably take a minute for sound to reach you.
@@satan899 You are completely wrong, but you keep thinking that way... Sound travels at a little over 700mph, and at that distance it would take probably 3 minutes to reach you.
Reading the book and watching the movie.... Man so many connections between the two. Especially with where it came from. Because in the book it hinted in South East Asia, as well as Africa. Just amazing.
@@anib18 it was a kid in China who was swimming in a pond in some remote Chinese village and there was a Zeke at the bottom of the pond who was dormant and the kid bumped into the corpse while swimming on the bottom and the undead bit him.. in the movie it was supposed to be South Africa or something.. it pointed out to the zombie virus in the book was an ancient virus that had no cure and many cultures tried to cover up its existence..
A nuke produces energy in pretty much every spectrum, one of which is radio waves. You wouldn't hear those specifically, but if you had a device capable of picking those up (like a cellphone) you'd hear the radio wave burst the nuke created as audible noise
@@elmacho1456 Well the visual is pretty good. apparently it's from one of the footage from bikini atoll. ( Bikini Atoll is one of the test cite for US nuclear weapons in the pacific.The US evicted the natives and blew 23 nukes there. Parts completely disappeared. The atoll is still too irradiated to this day for humans to live there safely. It's also why the sponge bob town is called "bikini bottom". They live in the waters of bikini atoll and the radiation would be the explanation to why they are sentient.)
It's hilarious how the sound got to the plane right when the nuclear explosion occurred. In real life the sound would've taken like 1 minute to get to the plane
terrifying scene. it's a movie people relax lol. cool scene still. one of the scariest parts tbh. think about whats happening on the ground at that time
This scene scared me a bit more than any other scene. To think that there's a world epidemic and people still can't get a long to fight together for a common cause, and sadly this is true in the actual world.
Military planes are designed to somewhat withstand a nuclear blast. Take this in affect though, that nuke was detonated on the ground, so the EMP range is rather short. Wherever that nuke was launched from was more likely from Iran or Pakistan, therefore they have a weak Kiloton, and lastly, its hollywood.
The nuke was located far enough from the pay were flying and just the wind rumbled the plane a bit but didn't have enough force to take the bird out of the sky
The use of nuclear weapons as EMPs usually required them to be detonated fairly high in the atmosphere. The new EMP tech we have doesn't need to I believe.
Nope, nukes still generates EMP, no matter where they are detonated. Their range is short though and the EMP profile is totally different from those which are generated by a high altitude nuke. A high altitude electromagnetic pulse is an after effect from the disruption of the ionosphere, therefore it is much more powerful and quite different than the normal EMP generated by a nuclear explosion. There is no new EMP tech with nukes, only in the NNEMP (non nuclear EMP) technology.
0:45 discrepancy: (1) they hear the nuclear blast as fast as they see it. (2) the plane's electronics would fail as soon as they see the explosion since EMP travels at the speed of light.
It bothered me because of the fact that the operation crossroad test's mushroom cloud was consisted mostly of water, and in pretty sure that nuke was meant to be on land.
C Porter No it is not. Castle Bravo was a FAAAAAR larger explosion, in fact it was the largest hydrgoen bomb tested by the united states. Baker was only 90 feet above sea level. Castle Bravo was over 6,000.
Doctor Strange That's now how that works, you imbecile. They were close enough to see the mushroom at that size, that means they'd have been blinded by the flash and knocked out of the sky.
Not cellular. Satellite. Very different. Note the huge antenna. You can see on the phone's screen, "Iridium" which is a real satellite phone company, and they probably paid for this product placement.
Boy I do love that movies will never portray EMPs correctly. Movie logic always dictates it somehow is just a brief interruption when in reality it completely destroys electronics that aren't protected with faraday cages.
That nuke took off from Pakistan in world war z because troops begin to advance near the city of Tehran, iran fired its nuclear weapons on Pakistan cases to launch the nuke
Well ik your comment is from 8 years ago but it was because of the nuclear exchange between Iran and Pakistan because Iran bombed a bridge as too many refugees were pouring in,hence Pakistan decided to nuke iran
Well guess millions of Zombies died due to extreme heat and powerful Shockwaves . Even if some zombies survived they will die due to dangerous radiation
I know this movie gets a lot of flack, and for good reason; it sucked. It was nothing like the book at all, and completely ignored everything that made the book good, for Christ's sake! The fact that they left out "The Battle of Yonkers" is pretty much all that needs to be said. Still, I'd like to add to the flack by pointing out the fact that they used footage from the famous nuclear test "Shot: Baker"; an under-water test! That's the reason the plume looks like a giant cotton ball; that's all ocean water being blown up! Iran is not the ocean.... thus, the explosion would look nothing like that at all.
It’s a cool scene but I wish more movies studios would show the the delay of sound and light with explosions You see the flash, the seconds or minutes later you hear the explosions and shockwaves
My favorite part was when the movie adapted the book… oh wait. I don’t understand why they bought the rights to the fucking book. -_- THE ONLY THING IN COMMON WITH THE BOOK IS THE FACT THAT BOTH HAVE ZOMBIES… and even then, zombies from the book are very different from zombies form the movie.
My favourite part of this film is when the scientists who is supposed to Cure the Outbreak accidentally shoots himself in the head when running up a plane ramp...

Anybody else irked that it's baker shot.
It bothered me because of the fact that the operation crossroad test's mushroom cloud was consisted mostly of water, and in pretty sure that nuke was meant to be on land.
***** Same sentiment here.
alexander almeida its actually castle bravo
C Porter No it is not. Castle Bravo was a FAAAAAR larger explosion, in fact it was the largest hydrgoen bomb tested by the united states. Baker was only 90 feet above sea level. Castle Bravo was over 6,000.
***** yes, but its footage from it, search it up onj yt
Did not expect Crossroads Baker footage.
Which is weird given that was an UNDERWATER test
Hmmm the blast looks exactly like Crossroads baker nuclear test xD
I love how the explosion of the nude didnt spread the clouds back at all XD
I love how this movie was so cheaply made that the explosion is just footage of a famous nuclear test from the 40s 😂
Wtf do you want them to do? Detonate an actual Nuke?
*"LET'S END THE PARTY WITH A BANG!!"*
*0:46*
1:13 love how the plane changes later to a c-130
What a surprise crossroads baker has been edited in a movie...
I love the level of detail in this movie. How the atomic bomb causes an EMP surge and wipes out the cellular communication.
TRES-4 Nukes give out short range emp’s. They were far enough to not get hit by it.
Doctor Strange That's now how that works, you imbecile. They were close enough to see the mushroom at that size, that means they'd have been blinded by the flash and knocked out of the sky.
No one is commenting on the sound arriving before the shock wave?
Rusty Shackleford go back to cod thats not how they really work lol
Not cellular. Satellite. Very different. Note the huge antenna. You can see on the phone's screen, "Iridium" which is a real satellite phone company, and they probably paid for this product placement.
When a nuclear weapon is seen not as an option but a necessity, then the world has truly gone to Hell.
💯💯💯
When madness rules the world
I wonder if they use bottle caps in india and pakistan now because of the nuke?
Hint hint fallout
Russia: we ain't going down without a fight launch the Freaking NUKE
It was Iran
1:05 see this iridium is about iranian nuke deal
Boy I do love that movies will never portray EMPs correctly. Movie logic always dictates it somehow is just a brief interruption when in reality it completely destroys electronics that aren't protected with faraday cages.
EMP only happens in high altitude explosions... this was clearly a ground burst... there would be no EMP.
That definitely wasn't a thousand times brighter than the sun!
That nuke took off from Pakistan in world war z because troops begin to advance near the city of Tehran, iran fired its nuclear weapons on Pakistan cases to launch the nuke
Why did they dropped a nuke? Is it mentioned in the book why?
India and Iran nuke it out after a fight gets out of hand to stem the tide of living dead. tit for tat until the nuke
Tyler Thorne nope. Iran and Pakistan nuke each other because refugees keep coming into Pakistan and bringing the infection with them
Well ik your comment is from 8 years ago but it was because of the nuclear exchange between Iran and Pakistan because Iran bombed a bridge as too many refugees were pouring in,hence Pakistan decided to nuke iran
funny how they made a flash effect for this nuke but used footage of an underwater test which had no visible fireball
Damn I wondered how many people died the moment the nuke exploded
A LOT.

Well guess millions of Zombies died due to extreme heat and powerful Shockwaves . Even if some zombies survived they will die due to dangerous radiation

0:39 lack of visible nuke!
This was a very dark movie untill the end when they find a vaccine. ..Thank god
does Japan get rekt or just NK?
Not a vaccine. Temporary way to be hidden
Yes, keep looking at that big ol' mushroom.
Did anyone else notice that was the same nuke they used for Spongebob's pie?
Yep :D
Luke Hopkins Heh, Baker Test... pie bomb
Ah. An Antonov An-12,acting as a C-130 transport. Oops.
I know this movie gets a lot of flack, and for good reason; it sucked. It was nothing like the book at all, and completely ignored everything that made the book good, for Christ's sake! The fact that they left out "The Battle of Yonkers" is pretty much all that needs to be said. Still, I'd like to add to the flack by pointing out the fact that they used footage from the famous nuclear test "Shot: Baker"; an under-water test! That's the reason the plume looks like a giant cotton ball; that's all ocean water being blown up! Iran is not the ocean.... thus, the explosion would look nothing like that at all.
Max Brooks is a terrible writer, every single character sounds exactly the same.
DanClarky1 Well, that's your opinion, man. I listened to the audio book and it blew this shit away in my opinion.
so we have a bookcuck over here
cool
This made is next level, that shit down there is so fucked up they are using nukes.
Shouldn't the flash of the explosion be more severe?
0:49 you look at the flash say goodbye to your eye nerves
why so quiet b
Is this in an extended version or something? I don’t remember this scene
Since when there was a "dragon ball z" version of world wars
The idea of governments getting desperate enough to use nukes is chilling.
That was a nod to "The Return of The Living Dead"
It’s a cool scene but I wish more movies studios would show the the delay of sound and light with explosions
You see the flash, the seconds or minutes later you hear the explosions and shockwaves
My favorite part was when the movie adapted the book… oh wait. I don’t understand why they bought the rights to the fucking book. -_- THE ONLY THING IN COMMON WITH THE BOOK IS THE FACT THAT BOTH HAVE ZOMBIES… and even then, zombies from the book are very different from zombies form the movie.
Why am I on a streak of watching nukes go off
Idk my guy, maybe ask yourself, why are you watching ?
