RF>         Zombies and science don't mix.  Anyone who

        Like I said, it's totally impossible.  Zombies are made out of 
rotting flesh; anything whose flesh is rotting is dead.  The behaviour could 
be induced, theoretically, through some sort of chipset, but that's years 
into the future.  But chemicals?  No.  
        Science was just used as a convienient plot device by RE's writers.
RF>         Not necessarily.  There's a voodoo rite 
RF> which is supposed to bring
RF> zombies to life, and it doesn't involve what we think of as demons.
 KV> Who said it had to be voodoo rite? It could be 
 KV> something else say unleashing 
 KV> the powers of the Necronomicon(which isn't real I know) like in Evil 
Dead.
        Voodoo would simply make more sense, seeing as zombies were imagined 
by voodoo priests.  But I suppose you could use some other type of magic.
RF>         I've seen Army of Darkness.  It's a great 
RF> parody.  I love that scen
RF> towards the end of the film, when Ash pumps 32 
RF> shotgun rounds into an evil 
RF> *without reloading*!  That was obviously a poke at 
RF> movies like those of John
RF> Woo, where the characters never seem to pop in a single fresh clip.
 KV> If you liked AOD you should check out the first two.
        Maybe sometime, but there are other movies I'd want to see first.
