Why does 406 become a zombie?
In the movie Zombieland, the character "406", Columbus's pre-apocalypse neighbor, runs to his apartment after encountering a drunk man who, she says, "attempts" to bite her. When she falls asleep on his couch, she seems fine. But when Columbus wakes up, he's confronted by a zombie 406.
Is there an explanation anywhere for why she becomes a zombie?
Best Answer
The movie itself doesn't say, and she doesn't seem to have any wounds. A less than HD video shows her knuckles may be bruised or scraped but maybe that's just shadows.
The original script has a slightly longer conversation, including this key part:
406: He ran right for me. Just totally wild. Violent. He grabbed me. And I dropped my phone and pulled away. And ran. So did he. He must have slipped, cause I made it inside the gate. Last I saw, he was still out there, going crazy.
406 clearly states she was touched here, unlike the movie which makes it seem like the "homeless, sick guy" only got near her and tried to bite her. Assuming that the conversation was pared down for time, it would still make sense. She got scratched or otherwise got infected by a zombie spitting or touching her (think the blood drop in the eye in 28 Days Later, which the script actually mentions in the beginning as an example of how they want to shoot the intro scene).

Why did Madison turn into a zombie?
Madison temporarily left the group during the trip when she ate some trail mix, which she did not know had nuts in them that would aggravate her nut allergy. When the symptoms set in, her companions thought her a zombie and had Columbus "kill" her, but he actually shot over her head and allowed her to live.How does the virus spread in Zombieland?
Aside from eating the meat of infected cattle, a person can also be infected by being bitten by another infected person. The virus may also be capable of spreading through transmission of bodily fluids such as through sexual intercourse or by being scratched by a zombie, though this is not confirmed.Who is the blonde girl in Zombieland double tap?
