28 Weeks Later Quotes
The shot of the Boeing 737 aircraft approaching the runway is at London City
Airport. This aircraft is not certified to fly into this airport as the
approach path is too steep for the 737.The M4 used by Doyle when he is on
the street level appears to have a PVS14 night sight mounted behind an
EOTech holosight. However when the camera shot shows the view through the
scope the cross-hair shape is not that of what would have actually been
displayed using this sight combination.
During one scene, General Stone says that the Infection does not "cross
species." However, the original outbreak began when humans came in contact
with infected chimps. This is arguably because the US Army probably did not
know the origin of the virus, and what General Stone said was based on the
Army's observation after arriving in Britain.As a result of inconsistent
computer editing, throughout the film, the logos on top of the HSBC and
Citigroup buildings vary from being nonexistent to clearly visible.
About half way into the movie: As the "infected" charge down the dark tunnel
frantically because they are so full of rage, as they start to run down the
stairs they all slow down, take small steps and grab the side rails to avoid
falling.In the scene where the girl is in the pizza shop a window above the
Greek Cuisine shop is open then shut in different shots.When the aircraft
containing repatriated people approaches London, it is flying on to Runway
28 at London City Airport (LCY). When the passengers get off the aircraft
they are at Stansted Airport and in the terminal buildings.
The route the survivors look around London and the distances involved would
not be possible in the time frame as shown in the film.In the scene when
they are driving in the car to escape the toxic gas, the windshield is
covered in blood, though in the next scene it is gone, then it reappears in
the next shot.If gas was used to exterminate the infected it would need to
be lethal. Presumably this would be a nerve agent and would be colourless.
At the very least the use of cloth over the mouth would do nothing at all to
stop it. The soldiers moving in the gas are in full NBC suits - including
gas masks with filters yet the 'heroes' only require their shirts.
Flynn's helicopter changes multiple times. He is initially shown falling
asleep in an Aerospatiale Gazelle. When he is attempting to rescue Doyle, he
is flying an Aerospatiale A-Star. When he lands in the stadium to rescue
Doyle and the children, he is flying an Aerospatiale Gazelle.When the
children are walking on the football pitch it is in fact at the Millennium
Stadium in Cardiff although they appear to walk into Wembley stadium and fly
out of Wembley stadium in the helicopter.When the helicopter is flying
towards the cliffs over Dover at the end, all the fields are freshly plowed
with short neat grass. Surely these fields would be wildly overgrown by now?
Scarlet wears her hair in a ponytail, which is an unauthorized hairstyle for
a female soldier in an Army uniform. Females in uniform must wear their hair
in a bun of some sort so that it does not hang down below their neckline.
The DLR train carrying the settlers from the airport has "Greenwich" on the
front destination, but that station is south of the river from Isle of Dogs
and would not have been quarantined. Also that DLR route from airport to
Isle of Dogs is open to attack as route is quite long and open to holes in
security.A Jubilee line train is seen on the platform at Charing Cross
station in the showdown between Don and Scarlet. However, the Jubilee line
has not run from Charing Cross since 1999, so access to that platform would
be blocked off and it is not likely to have a train on the platform.
The Aerospatiale Gazelle that Flynn pilots was never in service with the US
Army, and therefore Flynn would not fly one. While the film's timeframe is
not specified, and it's possible that the US Army could adopt the Gazelle in
the near future, it's highly unlikely as we already have several helicopters
that fill the same role better and with more passenger space or weapons.When
Flynn warns Doyle of the impending firebombing of his position, he says that
the "Air Cav" are going to be coming in to do the bombing. The film then
portrays jets swooping in to drop the bombs. This is incorrect, because the
Air Cavalry uses helicopters, not jets. Jets are only used by the Air Force
and Navy.The virus is transferred via blood/body fluids, therefore in
quarantine everyone especially the doctor should have worn goggles. In the
surgery area scenes all they wore were surgical masks.
Extensive filming of a "US Army Camp / Base" took place during the weekend
of 21st/22nd October 2006 in the courtyard outside the Citypoint Building,
Ropemaker Street, London EC2. A large number of tents with US flags, cast in
military dress and vehicles were in place. Additionally access to the
sub-floor car park area appears to have been given to shoot an underground
scene.Danny Boyle directed some of the second unit filming.
Robert Carlyle had turned down a part in 28 Days Later... (2002).The
Millennium Stadium in Cardiff doubled for the interior of Wembley Stadium
because, at the time of filming, the interior of the newly built Wembley was
still under construction.
As the snipers are shooting down the infected early in the movie, one of
them shouts "This is FUBAR!" FUBAR is an acronym that stands for 'F***ed Up
Beyond All Repair'.Series Trademark - Eye Gouge killing: When Don attacks
his wife after becoming infected, he attacks her and presses her eyes in
with his thumbs. In the film's predecessor 28 Days Later... (2002) Jim
attacks and kills a guard in the mansion using the exact same technique.
