Nato – El Wray (Planet Terror)
Boom, a little Freddy RodrÃguez action to bring my team home. Did you see El Wray in Planet Terror, making minced meat out of zombies even when he was handcuffed?! Dude, who wouldn’t want those acrobatic ninja skills handy when the time came, saving you ass when you need it the most.
I really believe El Wray is always forgotten as one of the greatest zombie killing characters ever. We always think of Ving Rhames characters, or Ash from Evil Dead, or Lionel Cosgrove from Dead Alive – the list goes on and on. But hardly in conversation does El Wray come up, when it damn well should lead the conversation. This dude was just a humble tow truck driver, but the minute zombies showed up, he goes all hero status in that bitch and basically punishes any deadhead in his path. Yes sir, please include him on my list of people keeping my sorry ass alive in the zombie apocalypse, gracing me with his heavenly watch. Guns, knives, fist, feet – El Wray can do it all. A multi-purpose tool dispensing undead justice on our way to safety. Yeah, I can live with that.
Remy – John Ottway (The Grey)
And lastly, and of course, I pick Liam Neeson as John Ralph Ottway from The Grey. I realize, after all the breeders and feeders and Chris Brown’s have died, I will need at least one dude who can be both a Father-figure and an ass-kicker, and a man who glues broken bottles to his hands to fist fight a wolf is about as badass a partner as you could have in the zombiepocalypse.
See, my choices seem daft at first, but there is a method to my madness:
I just spared the world from anymore Chris Brown and now I am hanging out with Amber Heard and Liam Neeson, playing cards with the pet zombies we have conditioned and trained.
Yeah, try to act like you are not jealous of THAT scenario!
Now it’s your turn! Feel free to let Remy and I know how we did with our selections, and let us know who would make up your perfect zombie apocalypse survival team?
