Zombieland: Double Tap
As gestate , Zombieland 2 : Double Tapmakes a batch of funnypop culture references , but inTerminator’scase , they made a noticeable error . WhileZombieland 2didn’t exactly cauterise up the box billet , reviews were n’t spoilt , and many fans of the first film line up themselves just as entertained by the continuation . Director Ruben Fleischer , writers Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick , and stars Woody Harrelson , Jesse Eisenberg , Emma Stone , and Abigail Breslin seem to have skid theZombielandworld back on like a glove , even though an intact decade pass between movies .
One concept thatZombieland 2introduced to the franchise is new types of zombies . Whereasthe walk deadall operated the same in the first film , the ensuing ten caused a sort of zombie evolution . Four types are named over the course of the subsequence . " Homer " zombies are slow - go dimwit mention after Homer Simpson . Ninja zombies are fast - moving zombies capable of perform surprisal attacks . Hawkings , name after science ikon Stephen Hawking , are smarter than the others , and can learn how to complete tasks to get at their prey . The newest type are dub T-800 ’s , in tribute to the homicidal cybernetic organism Arnold Schwarzenegger play in most of theTerminatormovies .

T-800 zombies are named reasonably accurately , as like Arnold ’s killer motorcar , they ’re persistent foes who are extremely hard to kill . The problem is that what first seems like a nerveless address is dampened a second by a really obvious mistake concerningTerminatorhistory , which one assumes a understandably bigTerminatorfan likeZombieland 2’sColumbus would n’t get wrong .
Zombieland 2 Incorrectly References the Terminator Franchise
At one point inZombieland 2,Columbus ( Eisenberg ) and his short - lived similitude Flagstaff ( Thomas Middleditch ) correct Wichita ( Stone ) when she refers to a group of zombi as T-700s , as she is n’t certain if they qualify as T-800s . Columbus and Flagstaff take a firm stand that there were no T-700s , and that T-800s were the firstTerminatormodel . While they were the first to appear in a Terminator film , T-800s are not in fact the firstTerminatormodel .
Zombieland 2’s Joke Is Wrong, T-800s Weren’t the First Model
Sorry Columbus , the T-800 was proceeded in Skynet ’s key signature " infiltrator " line of merchandise of Terminators by the T-600 . This model was bring up briefly in the firstTerminatorfilm by Kyle Reese , who tells Sarah Connor that the 600 model was well spotted by the human resistance due to its rubber eraser skin , a fault of course solved by the almost visually indistinguishable from humans T-800.The T-600 modelmade its first onscreen appearing in FOX’sTerminator : The Sarah Connor ChroniclesTV show , and also appeared on the large screen inTerminator : Salvation , which make theaters the same year as the firstZombieland . Even more glaringly , there was indeed a T-700 framework , the direct forerunner to the T-800 , also seen inTerminator : Salvation . When it comes toTerminatormovies , Zombieland 2needs to take up or shut up .
