Zombie Science

The flame thrower would be your clean up squad destroying the dead  err dead after they have been dispatched...thats what I say anyway

This has proven disasterous in many zombies stories, movies and games. The flaming zombie will not die immediately and will wander about spreading fire death or charge his engulfed body right at you. Now, he's not just a zombie, he's a zombie fire bug!!!

In many parts BBQ'd Zombie is seen as a tasty indiginous food.

Look at the chargrilled zombie burgers of the Deep South of North America, or Burger King Whopper as its known to the rest of the world.

It's funny how perceptions of anti-Zombie strategies differ - I thought a flame thrower would be pretty good, obviously not an instantaneous effect but very cleansing in the long run.

This is because most zombie stories, movies, and games are populated by idiots.
Just realize that what you're setting on fire can still move around a bit and plan accordingly.

Fire works but the big problem is keeping them in the fire and not wandering about.  My biggest beef is the time it takes people to realize (if they ever do!) that the ones you shoot in the head don't get up again.  Sure, the chest is a bigger target but, in most cases, no brain, no go (politicians excepted  ).  Even Black Ops or Special Forces people, who I thought were taught to give the head a 'double tap' to take the target out permanently, don't seem to catch on, even if they appear in the sequel.  Didn't you learn anything in 'Resident Evil: Apocalypse', Carlos Olivera?

It's because the people in these movies don't watch the movies!

It's the old "don't open that door" scene.
