— Tallahassee looking for Twinkies
|
” |
Tallahassee is one of the main characters in the Zombieland film duology. He is a laidback survivor who is particularly violent in killing zombies and possess a love of Twinkies. Like the other survivors, Tallahassee goes by his city of origin instead of his birth name as to prevent others from becoming too attached to him.
Shortly after a strain of mad cow disease mutated into the zombie virus, Tallahassee witnessed the death of his young son, Buck. Ever since then, he traveled the world alone, making sure to not get too close to any other survivor in case he loses them as well, and kill every zombie he came across. He also made it his personal mission to find and eat a Twinky to remind himself of the world before the apocalypse, a quest he would eventually succeed in.
While on the road, Tallahassee traveled with Columbus, an awkward college student who was traveling to his namesake city in order to see if his parents were still alive. On the road, the pair encountered the sisters Wichita and Little Rock who tricked the pair into giving their weapons and car, and later took them hostage when Tallahassee went after them to take revenge. Though the relationship started out hostile between the two pairs, they became friends overtime, with Tallahassee acting as a father figure to Little Rock. He would also get into a romantic relationship with a survivor going by Nevada.
Battle vs. Ellis (by KevlarNinja)[]
Tallahassee: 1234
Ellis: 1234
In an abandoned department store, Tallahassee, Columbus, Wichita, and Little Rock wander in. Columbus asks "What are we doing here?" "What else?" answers Little Rock, "He's looking for Twinkies." Tallahassee says "They must have left something in the employee lounge." They go in and lock the door, in case of zombies. After some searching, Tallahassee finds a box of Twinkies and starts eating. Meanwhile, Ellis, Coach, Rochelle, and Nick also find themselves takeing shelter in the store. They see the closed door and the sounds from behind it. Ellis is about to knock, but Coach stops him. "Careful," he says "there could be zombies in there." "Good point." says Ellis. He knocks on the door from off on the side. Inside, this knocking sounds like zombies. As Tallahassee finishes the last Twinkie in the box, he says "Well, it's nice to know that zombies are starting to have better timeing." Witchita blasts a huge hole in the door with her Taurus Model 62C Takedown Rifle. They hear Ellis and the rest running away. "This is going to be fun!" says Tallahassee, his inner redneck surfacing. They all split up. Witchita is chaseing Rochelle. Rochelle fires a Hunting Rifle round into her leg, but Witchita shoots Rochelle in the chest.
Ellis: 123
Nick sneaks up on Witchita and puts bullets in her from head to toe with a Silenced SMG.
Tallahassee: 123
Tallahassee and Columbus are chaseing after Coach. Coach fires randomly behind with his Magnum, but misses. Columbus fires at him with his H&K MP7A1. One bullet shoots the handgun out of Coach's hand. Tallahassee then shoots him with his SIG-Sauer P226.
Ellis: 12
Tallahassee says "He really let himself go." Columbus adds "Yeah, and he's fat too." Columbus walks over past the makeup counter, but Nick cuts him down with his SMG.
Tallahassee: 12
Tallahassee hides in the shadows and pulls out his Banjo. Nick walks over, looking for more enemies. Tallahassee slams Nick in the head, whacking his brain, breaking his neck and jaw, and knocking out some of his teeth.
Ellis: 1
Meanwhile, across the store, Little Rock scaning for anyone else, MP7A1 in hand. Ellis shoots her in the head with his own Magnum.
Tallahassee: 1
Ellis says to himself "I knew all that time playing paintball with Keith would come in handy." Suddenly, he hears the song "Dueling Banjos" on, well, the banjo comeing from the sports department. He runs over. We see that it's Tallahassee playing the banjo. He sees Ellis run over and slams him in the face with the banjo. Ellis falls to the ground and his pistol slides over out of reach, so he picks up a golf club. He gets back up and wacks Tallahassee in the leg. He groans in pain and swings the banjo at Ellis, but he jumps back and misses the swing. He hits Tallahassee in the crotch, who falls over in pain. Ellis slams the club on Tallahassee's back, shouting "BONK!", qouting from his favorite video game as Tallahassee's back breaks with an audible snap.
Tallahassee:
Ellis raises his club in the air and shouts "YEE-HAW!"
Winner: Ellis
Expert's Opinion[]
While Tallahassee had the advantage at mid and close range with his MP7's stronger round and P226's larger magazine, Ellis has more combat experience, a better long range weapon, and better melee weapon. While Tallahassee has survived for a longer time, Ellis fought his way from Georgia to New Orleans with violent victims of the Green Flu charging at him left, right, and center. Adding in all these factors made Ellis, the deadliest warrior.

Battle vs. Jason Voorhees (by ThatRandomGuyFTW)[]
The battle starts out with Tallahassee walking down a road. He then notices a sign for Camp Crystal Lake,he then asks himself "I wonder if there is any Twinkees there?". He decides to go in,and while walking down to the kitchen the camera pans towards Jason who is watching him from the woods. As soon as Tallahassee is about to enter the kitchen an arrow hits the side of the building. Tallahassee startled turns around and sees Jason in the woods. He then draws his Mossberg Mariner from his back and proceeds towards Jason saying "I zombie shooting a bow now i've seen everything,gonna be a shame to kill a "smart" zombie." Jason doesn't know what he is saying and fires another arrow which misses Tallahassee. Tallahassee angered about this fires 2 shots into Jason dealing no damage. Surprised Tallahassee asks "What kinda zombie are you?". Tallahassee looks up and sees Jason charging with his meat cleaver, in return Tallahassee pulls out his bat and whacks jason square in the face. Jason still not being phased by the damage tries to slice Tallahassee with his cleaver but he keeps missing. Tallahassee pulls out his Bowie knife and he stabs and slashes at Jason. Jason pulls out his machete and he tries to stab and slash Tallahassee. Jason gets the upper hand and knocks Tallahassee to the floor disarming him of his weapon. Tallahassee then disarms Jason of his machete with his feet. Surprised Jason pulls out his speargun and shoots almost hitting Tallahassee in the crotch. Tallahassee gets up and runs into the kitchen Jason picks up his machete and follows. We then see Tallahassee waiting behind a corner with his Mare's Leg and as soon as Jason enters Tallahassee fires a shot into Jason's head bringing the monster down. Tallahassee not satisfied walks over to Jason and puts two more shots into his head killing him. Tallahassee then looks up and sees a box of Twinkees. Tallahassee then remarks "Well i'll be a monkey's uncle."
Expert's Opinion[]
The experts believed that Tallahassee's wits and intelligence prevailed in the long run against Jason sheer strength. While Jason was very powerful and could not be killed by simple means he was not as smart as Tallahassee.
