By what name was Left 4 Dead: The Movie (2016) officially released in Canada in English?

Answer

Left 4 Dead / Shout Out

http://tvtropes. org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/shoutout/left4dead

Following

Go To

  • If Louis’ clothing change from a sweater and combat gear to a white dress shirt and a red tie doesn’t clue you in…
  • The Passing has a bunch of graffiti:

    «Otis: Out of film. No helicopters. Zombies too fast. Not going to make it. —Frank West»

    «Roger, went to the mall —Francine»

    «Went to save my dog. If not back in 15 minutes, everyone drop everything and come save me. —Nicole»

    «Looking for an M60? Come see me. —Crazy Dave»

    «REPENT. THE END IS EXTREMELY FUCKING NIGH.»

    «Ed is King of the Zombies»

  • The arena in the finale of Dark Carnival is conveniently named The Peach-Pit. This may in fact be a reference to the diner in Beverly Hills, 90210, in which the diner hangout was named the same. Or to a certain Mangaka who goes by that as their pseudonym, which too is based on the same show.
  • Some of the graffiti (and one of the achievements) in the first game references the «Zombie Genocider» achievement of Dead Rising which rewarded the player for killing 53,594 zombies. Left 4 Dead tops it by exactly one zombie.
    • It appears that this has caught on; [PROTOTYPE] has a «Trail of Corpses» achievements, for killing 54,596 infected. Difference being that the Prototype Infected are totally not zombies.
      • And of course, Dead Rising 2 offers up the «Z-Genocider 2: Genocide Harder» achievement for killing the exact same number of zombies.
    • Valve introduced a new twist — the «Littlest Genocide» achievement, which requires you to kill 5,359 zombies on the Crash Course DLC campaign.
    • And to top it off, an achievement added to the second game in the Last Stand update goes by the name «Z-Genocidest 2: Episode 2» and requires 53,599 zombie kills (one more than Dead Rising 4‘s zombie genocide achievement). Its description even reads «You made sure the dead won’t rise anymore!»
  • The first game takes place in Pennsylvania, starting in Philadelphia and moving outwards from there. George A. Romero’s movies were all set in Pennsylvania.
  • One of Ellis’ many stories about Keith is how he «bought a laser sword off the Internet, left town and became an assassin».
  • One of Zoey’s numerous film references:

    «Oh, nice, a cabin in the middle of nowhere. I know how this movie ends.»

  • The messy lawnmower scene in Blood Harvest is a shout out to the zombie movie Braindead, which was directed by Peter Jackson.
  • The campaigns themselves are a homage to the entire zombie movie genre. Each campaign is presented as a movie, with a theatrical poster at the beginning and a credits sequence at the end. All in-game graphics are shown under a subtle film grain filter, and musical cues are used to highlight certain situations. Various zombie movie tropes are played with. And of course, the placement of enemies and items being controlled by an AI Director.
  • A brilliant reference to a completely non-zombie movie:

    «He slimed me!»

  • Even though it’s ostensibly from a fictitious school, Louisiana gamers may appreciate that Coach wears a purple and gold shirt.
    • Fun Fact: Purple, gold and green are the official colors of Mardi gras and LSU adopted the first two while rival Tulane took green.
  • The Dead Air campaign features a shout out to Nietzsche. A man spray-painted «God Is Dead» (a phrase made famous by Nietzsche himself) on the walls at several points before he apparently killed himself.

    Zoey: «Oh no, the Zombies killed God!»

    Francis: «God’s dead, huh? Well, join the damn club.»

  • Upon picking up an SMG, Louis might say, «This is just like in Counter-Strike!». Which itself is a reference to how Left 4 Dead started when the dev team of Counter-Strike: Source was messing around with playing as armed Terrorists against knife wielding Counter-Terrorist bots.
    • Louis has an unused line in Left 4 Dead 2 for picking up a Crowbar. «Man, I feel like Gordon Freeman!»
    • One of Ellis’ community campaign stock lines, «Dude, this is just like Team Fortress 2!»
    • On the back of a cereal box seen in the apartment at the start of No Mercy (after you leave the safe area, the roof), you can see an advertisement for a Team Fortress 2 figurine.
  • During Dark Carnival, you may notice «Pyro’s Hamburgers» and «Heavy Gulp» signs on some of the stands.
  • «Game over, man! Game over!»
  • The escape vehicles in Crash Course are clearly modeled on the zombie-smashing buses from the Dawn of the Dead (2004) remake.
  • One scene in the trailer for Left 4 Dead 2 shows Coach eating a chocolate bar and another scene has Nick make fun of Coach by trying to convince him to go up the stairs faster saying that the escape helicopter is made out of chocolate. This could be a possible reference to Doc Louis who also had a heavy preference to chocolate.
    • Note that the chocolate bar Coach is eating was a «chocolate helicopter.» Just look on the box by Rochelle which says «choco Heli» and mentions something about blades.
  • In the first map of The Parish, a jukebox can be played in the bar and has a few songs selected at random, one of them being Still Alive.
    • And by the same singer, «Re: Your Brains. «
  • «Dark Carnival» may be a shout out to House of the Dead: OVERKILL‘s «Carny» level, or possibly the «Dark Carnival» level from Blood (a game brimming with shout outs). Or, for that matter, any of a dozen horror movies that have used circuses and theme parks as settings or set pieces.
  • The gnome you win for getting 750 points at the shooting range game is the exact same model as the gnome from Half-Life 2: Episode 2.
    • And, just like its predecessor, you get an achievement for carrying it with you for the whole campaign.
    • Its name, «Gnome Chompsky», references the noted linguist and psychologist Noam Chomsky.
  • Speaking of Half-Life, the combat shotgun in this game is modeled after the SPAS-12, the same shotgun used in that series — particularly, it bears a resemblance to the model from Half-Life 1’s HD Pack with the stock folded up and over the gun.
  • «Swamp Fever» begins the same way «Crash Course» does: one Survivor having shot the infected pilot, and another berating him for it.
  • «Disco pants and haircuts. Man, lots of space in this mall.»
  • The female soldier seen here in Part 2 of the Sacrifice comic may be a shout out to The Pyro as the two share the same distinctive gasmask and suffer from a bit of gender confusion.
  • Louis has a figure of Heavy Weapons Guy on his desk in Part 1 of the Sacrifice comic.
  • Part 3 of the Sacrifice comic has a poster of Chuck Greene found in this page. It also has a hidden image of Ellis wearing Chuck’s default Case Zero shirt with the text of «The Left 4 Dead 2 team congratulates the Dead Rising 2 team on their release».
  • During «The Sacrifice», Francis points out that they have no evidence that Louis is not crazy. Louis responds that he would love to make a lady suit out of Francis, and Zoey says she hates putting the lotion in the basket.
  • The achievement for killing a Special Infected with an Exploding Barrel is called Barrel Rolled.
  • The achievement you get at the end of The Sacrifice if you have Bill sacrifice himself is aptly named Kill Bill.
  • One of Zoey’s possible responses if she goes to restart the generator in The Sacrifice’s finale:

    «I’ll be back… Oh god, no I won’t.»

  • When coming upon the trapped Tank in The Sacrifice, Louis may quip «tanks on a train».
  • At the end of The Passing, Zoey may quote the «you blew it up» speech from Planet of the Apes.
  • Nick sometimes calls himself «Dr. Nick» when healing a teammate.
  • In line with her profession as a producer in the news, Rochelle is heard to say «Knights of Columbus!» and «Son of a bee-sting!» when hurt.
  • At the end of The Passing, Zoey may say

    «Remember, Soylent Green is people!»

  • At one point in the Crash Course campaign, the survivors must pass through a small area with a broken steam pipe. Francis says «watch out for that steam pipe!», quickly followed by veiled references to a different kind of Steam.

    Zoey: Man, I love steam.
    Francis: Oh yeah, I love steam. I just hate the pipes.

  • When Ellis picks up an axe, there’s a chance of him saying «Heeeeere’s Ellis!»
  • Or if he grabs a chainsaw, Man, if I lose my hand, I’m stitchin’ this thing onto the stump.»
  • Something of an Easter Egg, there’s a very small chance that, upon getting hit with friendly fire, Nick will say

    «You’re going to shoot the guy in the 3000$ suit? COME ON!»

  • Jimmy Gibbs, Jr., one of the uncommon infected from Left 4 Dead 2, is a shout out to NASCAR. This can be seen from his car (a Plymouth Superbird/Dodge Charger Daytona without the aerodynamic front end seen on the real car), the car livery (resembles Fireball Roberts’ 1963-64 scheme), and his name (he got his name from team owner Joe Gibbs).
  • One of the achievements added in The Last Stand update requires you to find and obtain 22 hidden golden crowbars in every Left 4 Dead 1 survival map. The achievement’s name? «GOLDEN FREEMAN». The icon even shows Gordon’s hand holding up a crowbar.
  • The Last Stand update’s new melee weapons are shout-outs to Postal 2 and Blood featuring a shovel and a pitchfork as melee weapons, respectively.
  • There is Japanese graffiti in The Last Stand that reads «Yare Yare Daze». Throughout the campaign, there is also graffiti that references the community members who worked on the update, the real-life passing of Bill’s voice actor, the Midnight Riders song «Save Me Some Sugar», and Left 4 Dead having a crossover with PAYDAY: The Heist.
  • One magnum pistol skin in The Last Stand is manufactured by «Magnum Dong Inc.», and another is the Desert Eagle as seen in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. The CSGO AK-47 can also sometimes be obtained from the same weapon crate as these two magnum pistols.

Alternative Title(s):
Left 4 Dead 2

Vasily Terkin: 4.

Crossing — Tvardovsky. The full text of the poem — Vasily Terkin: 4. Crossing

Crossing, crossing!
Left bank, right bank,
Rough snow, ice edge…

To whom is memory, to whom is glory,
To whom is dark water, —
No sign, no trace.

At night, the first of the column,
Breaking the ice at the edge,
Immersed on pontoons
First platoon.
Immersed, pushed off
And went. Second after him.
Ready, crouched
Third after the second.

The pontoons went like rafts,
One rumbled, another
Bass, iron tone,
Like a roof under the foot.

And the soldiers are floating somewhere,
With their bayonets in the shade.
And they are very friendly guys
Immediately — as if they are not them,

Immediately as if they do not look like
Like their own, like those guys:
Somehow everything is friendlier and stricter,
Somehow everything is dearer to you
And dearer than an hour ago.

Take a look — and really — guys!
How, in truth, yellowmouth,
Is he single, married,
These shorn people.

But the guys are already coming,
Fighters live in war,
As ever in the twentieth century
Their comrades are fathers.

That path is harsh,
Like two hundred years ago
Passed with a flintlock gun
Russian worker-soldier.

Past their swirling temples,
Near their boyish eyes
Death often whistled in battle
Will it blow this time?

Leaning, rowing, sweating,
Manipulating with a pole.
And the water roars to the right —
Under the undermined bridge.

Already in the middle
They are carried and circled …
And the water roars in the gorge,
Dead ice crumbles into pieces,
Between the bent beams of the farm
Beats in the foam and dust …

sixth of the earth.

Behind the canal rustles,
And all around is a strange night.
And he is already so far away,
What neither shout nor help.

And jagged blackens there,
Behind the cold line,
Unapproachable, unreached
Forest over black water.

Crossing, crossing!
The shore is right, like a wall…

This night’s trail is bloody
A wave carried it into the sea.

It was like this: from the deep darkness,
Throwing up a fiery blade,
A searchlight beam to the channel
Crossed obliquely.

And put water in a column
Suddenly a shell. Pontoons — in a row.
There were a lot of people there —
Our short-haired guys …

And I saw each other for the first time,
It will not be forgotten:
People are warm, lively
We went to the bottom, to the bottom, to the bottom…

Under fire, confusion —
Where are our friends, where is who, where is the connection?

Only soon it became quiet —
The crossing failed.

And for the time being it is unknown,
Who is timid, who is the hero,
Who is the wonderful guy there,
And probably he was like that.

Crossing, crossing…
Dark, cold. The night is like a year.

But clung to the right bank,
The first platoon remained there.

And the guys are silent about him
In the fighting native circle,
As if guilty of something,
Who is on the left bank.

No end in sight.
A heap has taken over the night
In half with ice and snow
Mixed dirt.

And tired from the campaign,
Whatever it is, is alive,
Dozing, crouching, infantry,
Putting his hands in his sleeves.

The infantry slumbers, crouched,
And in the forest, in the deaf night
Smells of boots, sweat,
Frozen needles and terrycloth.

This shore breathes sensitively
Along with those on volume
They are waiting for the dawn under the cliff,
They are warming the earth with their stomachs, —
They are waiting for the dawn, they are waiting for help,
They do not want to lose heart.

The night is passing, there is no road
Neither forward nor backward. ..

And maybe there since midnight
It is powdering snow in their eyes,
And for a long time
It does not melt in their eye sockets
And lies on the dead 90 faces like pollen 03 doesn’t matter.

Cold, they don’t hear the cold,
Death after death is not terrible,
At least they still get rations
First company foreman.

The foreman writes rations to them,
And by field mail
Do not go faster, do not be quieter
Old letters home,

What else the guys themselves
At a halt by fire
Somewhere in the forest they wrote
On each other’s back…

From Ryazan, from Kazan,
From Siberia, from Moscow —
Soldiers are sleeping.
They said their own
And they are right forever.

And a heap as hard as a stone,
Where their traces froze…

Maybe so, or maybe a miracle?
If only there was a sign from there,
And trouble for half the trouble.

Long nights, harsh dawns
In November — gray-haired winter.

Two fighters sit on patrol
Over cold water.

Either dreaming, or imagining,
It seemed that it didn’t know,
Or frost on the eyelashes,
Is there really something?

They see — a small dot
Appeared in the distance:
Is it a block or a barrel
Is it floating along the river?

— No, not a chock and not a barrel —
It’s just to the eye.
— Isn’t the swimmer a loner?
— You’re kidding, brother. The water is not the same!
Yes, water… It’s scary to think.
Even the fish are cold.
— Isn’t it from our yesterdays
Which one rose from the bottom? ..

Both subsided at once.
And one fighter said:
— No, he would swim out in an overcoat,
Fully equipped, dead man.

Both cooled down,
Whatever it was, for the first time.

A sergeant came up with binoculars.
Looked closely: no, alive.
— No, alive. Without a gymnast.
— And not Fritz? Isn’t it to our rear?
— No. Or maybe it’s Terkin? —
Someone timidly joked.

— Stop, guys, don’t meddle,
It’s no use lowering the pontoon.
— Permission to try?
— What to try!
— Brothers, — he!

And, near the shores, the crust
Breaking off the ice,
He is like him, Vasily Terkin,
Got up alive — got afloat.

Smooth, naked, as if from a bathhouse,
Got up, staggering heavily.
Neither teeth nor lips
Does not work — brought down.

Picked up, tied,
They gave me boots from my feet.
Threatened, ordered —
You can, no, but run.

Under the mountain, in the staff hut,
The guy was immediately put on the bed
They put it to dry,
They began to rub it with alcohol.

Rubbing, rubbing…
Suddenly he says, as in a dream:
— Doctor, doctor, can’t I
Warm up from the inside,
So as not to spend everything on my skin?

Gave a stack — began to live,
Raised himself on the bed:
— Allow me to report.
Platoon on the right bank
Alive and well in spite of the enemy!
Lieutenant only asks
Light to throw there.
And after the fire
Let’s get up, stretch our legs.
We’ll cripple whatever is there,
We’ll ensure the crossing…

Reported in the form, as if
Immediately swim back to him.

— Well done! — said the colonel. —
Well done! Thank you brother.

And with an unshy smile
Then the fighter says:
— Couldn’t you have a pile,
Because well done?

The colonel looked strictly,
He glanced sideways at the fighter.
— Well done, but there will be a lot —
Two at once.
— So two ends …

Crossing, crossing!
Cannons strike in pitch darkness.

The battle is holy and right.
Mortal combat is not for glory,
For the sake of life on earth.

Looking at the footage from the film «Dead Season» with the participation of Donatas Banionis, all the boys of the Soviet Union wanted to become scouts.
