10 Dumbest Decisions In Zombie Movie History
10. Bill Murray's "I'm A Zombie" Prank - Zombieland
Zombieland's protagonist Columbus (Jesse Eisenberg) may have a series of rules to ensure he stays alive during the zombie apocalypse, but Bill Murray's own creative attempt to survive ultimately led to his downfall.
When Columbus and co. stumble into a seemingly empty mansion, Tallahassee (Woody Harrelson) and Wichita (Emma Stone) soon enough discover Murray to be the resident.
Hilariously, Murray has been donning zombie makeup to blend in with the undead, and attempts to play a prank on Columbus by sneaking up on him as he watches Ghostbusters, pretending to be a member of the zombie horde.
Columbus is understandably freaked and immediately shoots Murray in the chest, mortally wounding him as results in his death a short time later.
The stupidity is very much the point here, because "not playing a prank on a jumpy person holding a gun" is so obvious a rule Columbus really didn't need to write it down. Murray basically committed an elaborate, unintentional form of suicide-by-cop.
