28 Weeks Later Trivias

The shot of the Boeing 737 aircraft approaching the runway is at London City Airport. This aircraft is not certified to fly into this airport as the approach path is too steep for the 737.The M4 used by Doyle when he is on the street level appears to have a PVS14 night sight mounted behind an EOTech holosight. However when the camera shot shows the view through the scope the cross-hair shape is not that of what would have actually been displayed using this sight combination.

During one scene, General Stone says that the Infection does not "cross species." However, the original outbreak began when humans came in contact with infected chimps. This is arguably because the US Army probably did not know the origin of the virus, and what General Stone said was based on the Army's observation after arriving in Britain.As a result of inconsistent computer editing, throughout the film, the logos on top of the HSBC and Citigroup buildings vary from being nonexistent to clearly visible.

About half way into the movie: As the "infected" charge down the dark tunnel frantically because they are so full of rage, as they start to run down the stairs they all slow down, take small steps and grab the side rails to avoid falling.In the scene where the girl is in the pizza shop a window above the Greek Cuisine shop is open then shut in different shots.When the aircraft containing repatriated people approaches London, it is flying on to Runway 28 at London City Airport (LCY). When the passengers get off the aircraft they are at Stansted Airport and in the terminal buildings.

The route the survivors look around London and the distances involved would not be possible in the time frame as shown in the film.In the scene when they are driving in the car to escape the toxic gas, the windshield is covered in blood, though in the next scene it is gone, then it reappears in the next shot.If gas was used to exterminate the infected it would need to be lethal. Presumably this would be a nerve agent and would be colourless. At the very least the use of cloth over the mouth would do nothing at all to stop it. The soldiers moving in the gas are in full NBC suits - including gas masks with filters yet the 'heroes' only require their shirts.

Flynn's helicopter changes multiple times. He is initially shown falling asleep in an Aerospatiale Gazelle. When he is attempting to rescue Doyle, he is flying an Aerospatiale A-Star. When he lands in the stadium to rescue Doyle and the children, he is flying an Aerospatiale Gazelle.When the children are walking on the football pitch it is in fact at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff although they appear to walk into Wembley stadium and fly out of Wembley stadium in the helicopter.When the helicopter is flying towards the cliffs over Dover at the end, all the fields are freshly plowed with short neat grass. Surely these fields would be wildly overgrown by now?

Scarlet wears her hair in a ponytail, which is an unauthorized hairstyle for a female soldier in an Army uniform. Females in uniform must wear their hair in a bun of some sort so that it does not hang down below their neckline. The DLR train carrying the settlers from the airport has "Greenwich" on the front destination, but that station is south of the river from Isle of Dogs and would not have been quarantined. Also that DLR route from airport to Isle of Dogs is open to attack as route is quite long and open to holes in security.A Jubilee line train is seen on the platform at Charing Cross station in the showdown between Don and Scarlet. However, the Jubilee line has not run from Charing Cross since 1999, so access to that platform would be blocked off and it is not likely to have a train on the platform.

The Aerospatiale Gazelle that Flynn pilots was never in service with the US Army, and therefore Flynn would not fly one. While the film's timeframe is not specified, and it's possible that the US Army could adopt the Gazelle in the near future, it's highly unlikely as we already have several helicopters that fill the same role better and with more passenger space or weapons.When Flynn warns Doyle of the impending firebombing of his position, he says that the "Air Cav" are going to be coming in to do the bombing. The film then portrays jets swooping in to drop the bombs. This is incorrect, because the Air Cavalry uses helicopters, not jets. Jets are only used by the Air Force and Navy.The virus is transferred via blood/body fluids, therefore in quarantine everyone especially the doctor should have worn goggles. In the surgery area scenes all they wore were surgical masks.

Extensive filming of a "US Army Camp / Base" took place during the weekend of 21st/22nd October 2006 in the courtyard outside the Citypoint Building, Ropemaker Street, London EC2. A large number of tents with US flags, cast in military dress and vehicles were in place. Additionally access to the sub-floor car park area appears to have been given to shoot an underground scene.Danny Boyle directed some of the second unit filming.

Robert Carlyle had turned down a part in 28 Days Later... (2002).The Millennium Stadium in Cardiff doubled for the interior of Wembley Stadium because, at the time of filming, the interior of the newly built Wembley was still under construction.

As the snipers are shooting down the infected early in the movie, one of them shouts "This is FUBAR!" FUBAR is an acronym that stands for 'F***ed Up Beyond All Repair'.Series Trademark - Eye Gouge killing: When Don attacks his wife after becoming infected, he attacks her and presses her eyes in with his thumbs. In the film's predecessor 28 Days Later... (2002) Jim attacks and kills a guard in the mansion using the exact same technique.
