Last night's film "Dawn Of The Dead" - how did it finish?

Question

I watched it through my fingers .... eeeeek gory! .... and switched off when the humans were holed up in a shopping centre and the zombies were invading. They had been sending signs over to another guy perched on the roof of a gunstore opposite, and planned to leave the shopping centre somehow. They started shooting the heads off the zombies ... sorry it got too gory for me.
But if you watched it through to the end, please can you tell me what happened next and whether they got out alive and where they went to?
Thanks, and a big fluffy kiss!

Answer 1

The survivors hold a memorial, where Ken says the only thing worse than death is sitting around waiting to die. Michael proposes that they take two small buses from the garage, upgrade them, rescue Andy, and leave for sanctuary. Steve sarcastically suggests they go to the local marina and take his boat out for a pleasure cruise. Ana realizes this is a good idea, as the islands out in the lake were less inhabited, making them safer than the city. Everyone (eventually) agrees to the plan, and begins to retrofit the vehicles, adding a snowplow shovel, bars, barbed wire and slots prepared for shooting. Several propane fuel tanks and chainsaws are also loaded on board. However, the ammunition situation remains grim, with only a handful of bullets and shells left. Andy meanwhile faces the opposite problem: he has plenty of ammunition, but no food, and soon will not be strong enough to come with the others. Over Nicole's objections, the group straps a food-pack on “Chips”, the dog from the basement, and lowers him to the ground. As hoped, the zombies ignore him and he successfully follows Andy’s whistle over to a small sliding entrance door of the gun shop. As the dog enters, however, a zombie also forces his way inside. Shots are fired.

Everyone is apprehensive, but Andy finds the walkie-talkie in the pack and talks to them. Their relief is short-lived: he's been badly bitten. Nicole, distraught over Chips, manages to drive the delivery truck over to the shop and get the walkie-talkie while Andy heads to the roof. Once there, he confirms the worst fears of the others: he smears the blood from his bites all over his dry-erase board and displays the result. Zombie Andy then hears Nicole screaming from below and goes after her, trapping her in a storage closet. The others gather weapons and head into the sewers, exiting through a manhole and breaking into the gun store just ahead of the zombie horde. They shoot Andy, gather up as much firepower and ammo as they can carry. They successfully re-enter the sewers but the zombies follow close behind; Tucker is killed and mall security is breached. The living dead flood in and everyone has to flee ahead of schedule.

Quickly splitting up into the two buses, the survivors use another propane tank to blast through the parking lot mob, and begin a high-speed drive through the rubble of the predawn city streets. Ken spots a zombie hanging onto the side of the van he is driving. When Glen moves to take it out with an enormous chainsaw, an unexpected swerve sends the weapon cutting into Monica instead of the zombie. Blood spatters everywhere, causing Ken to lose control and crash.

Steve exits the wrecked vehicle and is attacked by the hitchhiking zombie, while Monica and Glen are both killed by the chainsaw. As the others scramble for the remaining van, a zombified Steve shambles into view, and Ana shoots him. More zombies appear on the scene, but Ana must linger long enough to retrieve the boat keys from Steve's corpse. This gives the zombies enough time to catch them, leading to another firefight and narrow escape.

The van arrives at the boat yard and smashes to a halt at the edge of the dock. Everyone exits the vehicle except CJ, who stays to hold off the zombies. Swarmed by the attackers, he heroically detonates a final propane tank, destroying the truck, the zombies and himself. Everyone boards Steve's boat except Michael, who reveals that he was bitten when Ana got the keys. Ana begs him to come, but he refuses, unties the boat and says goodbye to what is left of the group (i.e. Ana, Ken, Terry, Nicole and Chips). The boat moves out and Ana watches sadly but unflinchingly as he draws his pistol and places it under his chin. A final gunshot rings out over the water.

The end credits roll, interspersed with footage taken by Terry with a video camera he found on board. The voyage across the deserted lake is grim: the travelers are short on food, potable water and gas. The boat does barely make it to an island, but as the group ventures out onto the waiting dock, there is a roar and a new swarm of zombies comes pouring into view as Ken is heard saying: "Stay behind me!" The camera falls to the dock and goes dark, leaving the final fate of the survivors very uncertain. Note: Although this is never confirmed in the film, by watching the end credits where what seems to be a "living" decapitated human head is inside a cooler, one may think that someone else (probably infected without knowing) also had the idea of escaping to an island.

Answer 2

They sent the dog with some food over to the gunshop guy but the hatch got stuck & the zombies got him.
The pregnant woman became a zombie and so was her baby.
They managed to bust out of the mall using trucks that they modified and made their way to the harbour where one of them held off the zombies sacrificing himself so the others could escape. They eventually found land in the form of an island where they hoped to be safe but when they got there they found more on it and you didn't really see what happened to them. The end! Good film but the original is better!!

Answer 3

Andy the guy on the other roof died when they sent a dog over with food for him (zombies don't seem to want to eat dogs umm) .Anyway most got out of the shopping mall in A Team style vans equipped with a chainsaw to slice zombies in half when they got to close to the van. Bad move as the the people where not sat down in the van so when they used the chainsaw it sliced in to one of them and then another .Too much bright blood for my liking.

They really thought they had escaped when they arrived at the marina . The first island they saw they all stupidly run to get on it to be surrounded by zombies . Yup more blood and death to all .

Answer 4

The nasty git with the handlebar moustache turned into a hero and sacrificed himself so the others could get away. They escaped to an island, but found that there were zombies there too.

Dawn Of The Dead (2004) is a terrific remake. I've always thought Romero's original was overrated. I found it slow, pretentious and a bit sickening. The remake was faster, funnier and more exciting.

Hello,
You can get Zombie Shooter 2 for free from this link: http://j.mp/1BDCxq8

it's a perfectly working link, no scam !
Zombie Shooter is an action game in which you will have to eliminate all the dangerous living dead men you encounter.
For me, it's the best game ever.

Answer 6

Most of the people stuck in the shopping mall ended up dying...there is an especially grusome scene with a chainsaw, but a few got away and they make it to a boat. Everyone boards the boat except Michael (Jake Weber), who reveals that he was bitten while they were escaping. Ana (Sarah Polley) begs him to come, but he refuses, unties the boat and says goodbye to what is left of the group (i.e. Ana, Ken (Ving Rhames), Terry (Kevin Zegers) Nicole (Lindy Booth) and Chips). The boat moves out and Ana watches sadly but unflinchingly as Michael draws his pistol and places it under his chin. A final gunshot rings out over the water.
The end credits roll, interspersed with footage taken by Terry with a video camera he found on board. The voyage across the deserted lake is grim: the travelers are short on food, potable water and gas. The boat does barely make it to an island, but as the group ventures out onto the waiting dock, there is a roar and a new swarm of zombies comes pouring into view as Ken is heard saying: "Stay behind me!" The camera falls to the dock and goes dark, leaving the final fate of the survivors very uncertain.
