Some people will never get it.
Some default to 'offended', 'cheesy', 'no budget', etc...
If for sale, a sense of humor would be a useless purchase.
Just like telling a joke to a mechanical engineer... unless you told one that 2 plus 2 equals 9!
Good job!

Bravo!
Two ingredients are so well married in the video: the absurdity of the situation and the clichés aboud America. It's pure fun. Well done!
It's also interesting to note how the reviews vary over time.
The 'politically correct view' - sorry folks - is so shallow here; for instance, jews made jokes about the war: it is a profound means to overcome pain and deal with life (and a complex theme in Psychology). So, if you're Canadian, have a beer with an American and laugh on the irony of the video together - that's the point, not to start a war because of a comic video on zombies, for God's sake!

The narration is too clear. It needs some pops and static.
Needs a cheesy music bed behind the narration.
The voice-over needs to be a deep-voiced baritone.

Most people if attacked by zombies would merely be overcome and let themselves be chewed to itsy bitsy pieces because A. They're lazy B. Stupid C. Greedy and wouldn't bother helping another living soul.
Most people would simply close the door and go back to watching Jerry Springer or Opra or Football or whatever while the zombies would sneak up behind them and chew their heads off thus perpetuating the zombie menace.
Good thing we have the internet to spread the good word of how to ignore advice when needed!

Short hair...?
Well, we shot this thing in one day, nobody was paid, most of the zombies supplied their own costumes AND makeup, and the most expensive thing I had to pay for was lunch, which consisted of around 100 hot dogs, couple of big cans of chili, a tub-o-mustard, buns, sodas and bottled water.
I felt that it would have been cruel to make the kid cut his hair without paying him...

ISSUE THE CRICKET BATS
I quite enjoyed this mash-up and I thought the interweaving of bits from actual Civil Defense films about gas attack and the nuclear threat along with a lot of young people clearly having a BLAST playing Zombies (not to mention those playing the hapless family) was quite impressive considering the equipment and software you probably had to work with. A great job by all, I say!!! Keep up the good work, Jose, you may be the next Spielberg!

Eh.
Mimicking old 50's educational movies pretty much never works, just because you'd need to also mimic the sound quality and, of course, the type of voice, which takes skilled acting. Homemade introductions and other footage you're going to put in the movie and give a "vintage" effect, that's another thing, because these effects that are in film editing software are usually very unrealistic, just because the software isn't changing the FPS. I'm going to stop ranting now, but for the reasons I've stated above, I'm quite despondent to give this vintage parody, or almost all parodies of old educational movies more than 2 stars.

Re: schizoid man's offhand comment
Hmm have to comment on this one, quickly. I don't think that the global warming scare is "ridiculous." Neither do the vast majority of our scientists who study global warming. The fact is that Carbon Dioxide absorbs more heat than other atmospheric gasses so the more in the atmosphere the hotter the atmosphere will get. I find it odd that people will still believe a rogue source without doing any independent research on it themselves, over the in depth research of thousands of people. It may be true that global warming will not be as devastating as we think it will be, however, as far as I know, in my limited understanding of global warming, there is ample evidence that our planet is getting hotter.

Just think, in about 30 years kids will be making similarly clever parodies about the ridiculous Global Warming Scare of the early 2000s and the New World Order conspiracies and narrated in a 'edgy, MTVish in your face' style so indicative of our present era of Ad Council smugness. Boy, are our grandchildren going to have laugh.

This video reminds me chemical, biological and nuclear attacks videos we really saw in the shelter basement of highscholl in komunist Ukraine. Those activities conducted by our sweet shell shocked at the Second World War Colonel.
We had then a practical war preparing lessons, visiting shooting practice.
Such a good memories. I really miss that good times, thank you.
It took time to unzombinize me, but today I can manage in my life without shooting people or ripping their hands of, but I'm not a good American though

This bears some nostalgic effects for me, since I watched this in High School when I was a boy. Or was I a girl. Anyways, never thought I'd see this again. Although coming to us right from the fifties obviously, it still holds valuable information we no doubt will need to master the crisis ahead. "Watch, and learn," the teacher said. Oh, how he was right. Or she. Can't recall right now.

This short film should NOT be in
Archive.org as it is not--in and of itself--a true historic archival film, regardless of the fact that it uses a lot of archival Prelinger footage. It is very obviously a modern day parody and is in the wrong forum. Not to put too fine a point on it, this film's inclusion in
Archive.org dilutes
Archive.org's purpose and negatively impacts those looking for *truly public domain archival footage*.

This is funny stuff-especially the A.K.A.'s. The tone's pitch-perfect, the voice-over's great, I just wish there'd been more public-domain footage. It's only in the second of the three parts and it helps ramp-up the ridiculousness of it all.
Definitely worth downloading and burning for later.

Laughed till I cried!!!
This is one of the best parody films I have ever seen. This is three short subject films run together to create a "Trilogy of Comedy". Newly created B&W material is spliced together with old clips to form a really great "training flick"
to help you deal with those pesky old zombies. This video is better and more original than anything I have seen on commercial TV in years.
5 stars is not enough. This is a 10 star addition to the archive. Perfect for a Halloween party. Please do more!!!
