If you where Cholo from LOTD, what would you have done?

[UNDEAD FRED]

LOTD - If you where Cholo, and Kauffman chump you out of your money, and tried to have one of his henchmen try to put you in the next load of trash. What would you have done for pay back.

[SGT. DEATH]

I would have done what happened in the movie only I wouldn't have given kaufman any warning.Id have blown his ass to hell.

[eardrumbuz]

i thought the question was going to be about the very end, in which case i would've wanted to do exactly what cholo did, but being as lazy as i am i probably just woulda stayed where i was.

at the apt., when kaufman has cholo escorted out, again i would've liked to do the same thing but probably wouldn't try wrestling the gun away, unless i felt that i wasn't gonna be let go. then i definitely would've tried to get the gun, and if i did i wouldn't have left. i would go back to kaufman and try to 'take care of him' right at that moment.

then i'd take off in dead reckoning :)

[UNDEAD FRED]

Kauffman gaurd was just one of his goons, Cholo is a survivor with balls, hes been going outside the fence and taking care of buisness out among the zombies, and returning. Riely thought enouf of him to have confidence in cholo to take over command from him. You seen how fast he was ready to blast the kid who got bit in the liquor store, cholo would of killed him, and not even lose a minute of sleep. He probilly killed for Kauffman more than a few times. Like a vetern soldier who kills without hesitation. Kauffman should of moved cholo next door now that it was vacant, make Cholo his personal body gaurd. Cholo would drop anyone in thier tracks if he though Kauffman was in trouble. But if I where cholo, I wouldnt go back, You might kill Kauffman, But cholo would of never made it out alive. I wonder what happen to Kauffmans goons after big daddy, and crew entered the Green? But the whole ideal of Cholo wanting 5 million was stupid, what where they using as currency, Kauffman Bucks?

exactly. dead reckoning was a more valuable possession than any amount of cash...from my perspective. i couldn't figure out what the desire for money was all about either.

i thought Romero summed it up pretty well in Dawn, when the guy goes to take the TV and the other guy says "whatcha gonna watch on that?". TV gets smashed cuz it's useless. i'd say there was just as much of a chance of dollars becoming useful. maybe Cholo needed a lot of kindling? :roll:

[UNDEAD FRED]

I thought it was totally rude of kauffman to not down the glass of champagne, and switch glasses after all of what cholo went thru to get that case of champagne. Brings the asswad 4 bottles of bubbly, and that is how he showed his thanks, I would have did what cholo did to kauffmans niebor just for bad drinking manners. What the best alcohol to drink? FREE:drinking:

[jackskellington]

I would've taken a part in a better movie.:lol:

[UNDEAD FRED]

You cant hit a homerun everytime at bat.

[Darth Erroneous]

I would just aim all the weapons at the Green and let fly. Damn those snobby mall-wannabees!

[Propaganda13]

I might have went back and killed Kauffman right away, but it was probably a smarter thing to get while the getting was good and steal Dead Reckoning. The whole money thing really, really bothered me. The money was worthless, there'd be tons of it in banks being protected only by zombies.
As for shelling the Green, I probably wouldn't have, but Cholo could have put a few in the Penthouse for payback before leaving.

[Ark]

1. Not get bit. :)
2. Blow him and his rich friends to hell in a handbasket.

[tigeraid]

I would have done almost exactly the same as Cholo did, including demanding the money. I mean he was thinking it through, if he had the money he could re-recruit all the soldiers in the Green. They were already getting paid by Kauffman so what do they care, follow the strongest right? and not to mention he had Dead Reckoning and pretty much the support if not the respect of most of the zombie raiding crews.

[zombiekilling101]

:roll:

it was while they had the fuel for it. But I doubt they could use it for that long outside the city.. chancer are they have already raided the gas stations in the range of the reckoning before that.

they could have set up a badass mobile home though:evil:

[corgi37]

Ok, i am glad i saved this. This is the official Romero explanation on the use of money for this movie.

Q: You had previously established in Dawn of the Dead that money was worthless...

GR: Yeah, worthless to that group.

Q: So was it difficult to try to establish that is this film?

GR: Well, it’s different because in Dawn of the Dead it’s about the stuff. It’s about consumerism; if you got a pair of Nikes that’s all you need. This is much more modeled after this administration. It’s all executive. It’s fancy stuff for people who can afford it. The administration is dealing in big, big bucks and doling out little bits, as he says, to keep people off the streets. But the operative of it, the sort of service personnel, are relegated to a very different lifestyle. So it just seemed natural because that is what really this is about, right? I mean this is Halliburton. So it’s a different era. But of course it is their own. It’s probably not worth anything in Union Town. So that is the difference. In Day it was this little community living down there and it had nothing to do with money.

[chickenchop1]

Take Dead Reckoning and keep the ammo as long as possible, till both the ammo and gas ran out. Hopefully, some shelter would be secured by then, far from the city.

[CivilDefense]

#1 not gotten bitten by a zombie.

#2 steal dead reckoning, not giving a crap about money for gods sake

#3 fire a round into fiddlers green, let people evacuate for a little bit, then level it..

#4 leave for canada. somewhere it freezes during the winter.

[UNDEAD FRED]

I got a question on the missles that cholo was going to fire at the green. Where he had the Dead Reckoning parked, at the construction site way across the river, and up in the hills that had a straight shot at fiddlers green. I dont know what kind of military weapons the missles where, they were not that big. Could those missles hit the green from that distance, and on target, or would they land in the river, or the waterfront? :think:

[CivilDefense]

I assume they were completely fabricated. assuming they were probably some kind of mortar say 81mm (5.5km range) or 120mm (7km)

[Scotwith1t]

The whole plot line with cash was not very well thought out on Romero's half. How was Kaufman backing paper money? The U.S. Government would have went bankrupt, paper money would have to be backed by something, today's economym, it's backed by the gold of the U.S. Treasurey. However, with the U.S. Government pretty much non-existant, then paper money would be useful only as toliet paper. I understand Romero was trying to make a political statement, but he used a hammer with a big 'rich people it bad' lettering on it to smash the audience in the head without thinking it through. He went from subtle messages in Night and Dawn, to pounding people in the head with Day and Land, when it didn't even make sense in the universe he created.


What Cholo should have did is held him ransom for as much food, gas, ammo, weapons, and medical supplies that he could get. Or just took them using Dead Recking, then used those to buy his way into any survivor camps or cities he wanted.

[CivilDefense]

US currency hasnt been on the gold or silver standard for about 40 years now.

Currency is really only as good as the word of the US government, thats what I dont understand about the money, it seemed a bit beyond absurd, more just silly. The money wouldnt be any good beyond the green, thats the thing, assuming it was strictly to take the money out of circulation at the green.

Now I liked the movie ok, but that always struck me as stupid. Im sure it was intended to make some sort of statement about capitolism. :poo:

[Kabal Jorgenson]

I would do just a Cholo did and bomb the hell out of the green. They were all a bunch of stupid people anyway with all their crap.
