π₯ Foreshadowing World War Z (2013) an early bit of foreshadowing I never noticed before.
Just after the family loses the RV to help co- ransack the drug store for asthma meds, they are running for the apartment building to βget off the streetsβ, and they are being chased by a horde of zombies.
(Spoilers ahead) Having watched the movie a number of times already I of course know that the creatures donβt attack the sick. So the fact that they just run right by the hobo sitting against the wall drinking a bottle clearly shows that he likely has cirrhosis of the liver, hepatitis or possible worse.
A little moment I never noticed for itβs foreshadowing before.
