This movie just gave me a completely random thought: imagine if zombies attack and you get bit in front of Roanoke and the last thing you hear is "oof, that's pretty cringe, you should have stayed strapped so you wouldn't get clapped" before you get domed

Sang-Hwa was my favorite character in the movie. He gave no shits, he was just determined to save the girl and his pregnant wife.

To answer why uncoupling the infected cars wasn’t an option: Bullet trains aren’t a bunch of individual cars like most trains. The entire train is essentially one segmented unit. While a segment CAN be removed, it basically takes an entire garage and a crane to do it.

One of my favorite things about this movie, is the homeless man's story arc. He's useless, and needs to be saved or puts the group in extreme danger constantly. But at the end, he makes the ultimate sacrifice to save the others. The man is as much of a giga chad as Sang-hwa in his final moments.

Fun fact- The absolute unit Gigichad Hero got the role for Gilgamesh for Eternals just for playing his role in this movie. The producer for Eternals loved his actions so much, he said he got the part and didn't have to audition for it.

As an American living in Korea, the most unbelievable part of this entire movie about zombies to me is the lack of traffic as he drives to the train station. Lol

Sang-Hwa and the homeless man went above and beyond to protect others, nothing but respect for these characters.

Sacrificing the conductor was a smooth brain move. Just like Sang-Hwa was #1 in the group, conductor was the most important guy on the train.

Nicknaming a baby until it's born is really common in east asian countries. A meaningful name is usually chosen like Toughie if the baby survives a traumatic event or if the mother has miscarried multiple times before. Or Sleepy if the baby is very calm and doesn't do a lot of kicking. In the past, the baby would go by this nickname for several months after birth until they were pretty sure it wasn't going to die suddenly. Only then did they name the baby. Nowadays the baby can be named in utero without such fears, but the nickname thing is still used until a name is settled on by lots of people.

Sang-hwa is a human goal, and Don Lee is a great actor everytime he shows up in a movie

Having lived through two separate home-destroying disasters, I'm honestly rather positive on humanity's outlook in disasters. Most people cooperate and take care of each other, listen closely when other people are sharing survival tips, and are quick to adapt to utter chaos. So, to be honest, I'm not quite sure zombie outbreaks will be nearly as bad as people like to think.

There’s also a prequel movie to Train to Busan, the animated film Seoul Station. It sets up a few riots and spreading of the disease, as well as why the apartment building is on fire and the homeless man is so terrified. It might be worth looking at for supplementary information, but it very much is a movie with a message.

Fun fact about this movie: It is literally impossible to simp too hard for the absolute unit that is Sang-Hwa

Hey Roanoke, I knew somebody who passed away from a suspected lyssavirus like Rabies, and it blows me away how someone could imagine that someone in such a state could bite anyone.

I think the saddest part about Yong-suk was that he was only being bad because he wanted to go back to find his elder mom, which shows that he was only doing right in his perspective, because he loved his mom more than anything that he was willing to push everyone under to get back to his mom. I think he was originally morally grey before he went full evil because he was super determined to go home to his mom.

I believe its called vasculitis, which is basically what you already described. I think there is another infection called lymphangitis that does a similar thing, but instead of blood vessels it only causes a red streak, but either one does require immediate medical attention before it's too late.

@ 22:38 if I remember correctly. The hedge fund managers were also responsible for managing budgets or something. They were responsible for laying off or firing some fairly important people in the biotech research side of their company which eventually caused the outbreak. I THINK Roanoke covered that part, or maybe I dreamed it. Idk

Train to Busan is hands down one of my favorite Zombie flicks. Great cast, tension, fast paced and with a heart wrenching ending, that almost rivals the ending of Cargo. Effects are very well done, great combination of practical and computer generated and characters you actually WANT to see survive this. The sequel was sadly not as good, at least in my personal opinion. But this one? 💯 Recommend!!😎👍👍

Sang-hwa is the only guy (besides Bert Gummer from the Tremors franchise) that me and my friends all instantly decided we love from the moment he was on screen, and were genuinely upset about dying. We honestly were saying early on we hoped him, his wife and Seok-woo’s daughter would all live (no offence to Seok-woo we were iffy on him at the start but still all admit he turned out good by the end).

Was stationed in Korea for a year; most Koreans tend to ignore and not interfere with incidents on public transport as they fear being sued or harmed.

7:42 this freaked me the fuck out. I have small purple veins in my legs called spider veins and from what I understand, it's genetic (my grandma has it more prominently). They just showed up semi-recently, so I panic-researched and found that spider veins aren't harmful. Crisis averted, but now I'm paranoid haha. I tried to look into the actual thing you're referring to here and all I came up with was thrombosis and blood clots. Editing this comment only to add that Sang-Hwa is a BEAST

the bright side of this scenario is that it's very probable that the infected wouldn't last more than a few days, either due to blood loss from their wounds, dehydration, or the virus itself destroying critical parts of the brain. to expand on dehydration, there's not a lot of freely accessible water in most urban areas, which is where the virus really spreads, and it's likely that in the course of the infection spreading that water supply might get cut off. admittedly, the sight of a massive herd of zombies gathered around a city's one working water feature to drink does amuse me - and would also make a great place to drop a hellfire missile.

The actor who plays Sang-Hwa, his name is Ma Dong-Seok. I highly recommend watching movies with him, especially "The Outlaws" and "The Roundup" movies. He's actually a great actor, REALLY great one with incredible sense of humour. He plays a cop in those movies and its just so fun to watch.

Sang-hwa is literally so beautiful in every single way Also, it was more along the lines of the old lady letting herself be a sacrifice so that the others could escape. It's why she shook her head at her sister and didn't try to move. She knows she's old, weak, and slow so she made that her last act. It's also why the sister opened the door, her sister wouldn't have had to sacrifice herself had the other people let them in earlier. Not smart but understandable

I LOVE this movie. So happy you're covering it. I like to think the reason we don't bite is because we're smarter and we don't rely on biting like other mammals. If we were to turn hyper aggressive we would just beat others with whatevers we could pick up. Just an opinion.

'Trian to Busan' does have a sequel. It's train to 'Busan presents: Peninsula', it's more action with crew pulling off a multi million dollar heist in zombie infested Korea. Not a tearjerker as the first film, but pretty fun nonetheless.

I feel like being in a zombie apocalypse when in a group of survivors with Roanoke, It would the most interesting group. Imagine being in an active fight with zombies and Roanoke is out there explaining to us the science as to how the zombie virus works.

22:38 if anything they might have delayed it because if the funding to the lab was suddenly cut it would have most likely led to the disease getting out earlier. Also, there is both a prequel and sequel. In the prequel it is shown that getting scratched also spreads the virus albeit at a much slower rate. This would be my head cannon as to how Yu-Suk got infected and why it took so long for him to turn as well as why he didn't know of being infected.

Oh hell yeah! Train to busan! I had always hoped to see this virus covered!

I love all of these characters, and the mistakes they make are understandable. It’s so good!

When "Parasite" was in the theaters, KZfaq recommended "Train To Busan." I'd seen South Korean movies, so I thought I knew what I was getting into. The roller coaster ride through Fear/Dread/Anger/Sorrow left me emotionally drained. Kudos to the writer(s), director(s), actors and, especially the stunt performers for creating a Modern Classic.

Roanoke can tell you everything about virology known to man, but cannot tell the difference between a baseball team and a basketball team 6:40 Ignoring that, I'm so happy you did this movie. It's my favorite zombie movie, hands down. Thank you for another great video, as always!

I am so sad you had a horrible experience with Scorn. It would be really cool if you made a deeper dive into all the creatures.

Not only is this a top tier zombie movie but it's a movie for fathers too.

The old lady letting all the zombies in is a baller move. I highly enjoyed her decision to decide the fate of those idiots being lead by an a-hole. The only problem with that moment is the a-hole survived because reasons. They kept writing this antagonist to have god level luck so he can be a constant thorn in the viewers eyes.

Throughout all the zombie apocalypse/infections movies Roanoke covers I feel like he would survive for a years and years and eventually find out the cure to said disease.

Sang-Hwa was truly the best character in this movie

I love the reviews amd can't get enough of the commentary and the general pushing of more positive things, there really isn't enough of that now a days. Chad dads should be the rolemodel standard.

Train to Busan is a very well crafted zombie movie, and a lot of things about the virus and the way it infects it's host are explainable. I like how the train got time to start before the girl turned because she cut off her blood supply, and the overall vibe of the zombies too, they are very cool.

I was rewatching this as background noise and I just heard the "he laid there like a slug it was his only defense" Christmas Story reference. Roanoke is the best

Honestly, this is one of the more realistic zombie type movies out there. In reality, most people would just ignore or not even notice someone who is showing signs of turning. And by the time they did notice, it's already too late and they're either being thin, or there is a large group of them in your proximity. And in reality, emergency service workers would Paris be the first victims in the spreaders of this outbreak. Probably firefighters and EMT would be the first. And let's face it the police are into kill, and a chest shot wouldn't take them down. Aiming for the head is always been a foolproof plan an old zombie movies, but it takes a while for people to figure that out. And in this universe like every other, zombie movies don't exist so no one knows what to do. It's a good movie, and it has rewatch value

Oh dear, the red travelling vessel is sepsis. The thought of it genuinely terrified me as a kid. I'd see a scratch and seriously monitor it until it faded because the thought of some creeping infection gave me the heebie jeebies

I'm immunocompromised and got car scratch fever a while back. It was the wildest thing seeing the infection travel up my arm

Heart Line infection is what my doctor called it. Had it running from an ingrown nail on my left thumb all the way up to my armpit. Doc said if I went to bed that night I probably wouldn't have gotten up the next day. I think I was 14

Hi @Roanoke_Gaming great video and if we are on the topic of Korean Zombies. Could I kindly request you analyze the Zombies in the Korean zombie Netflix's show Kingdom? Its an extremely interesting plague that I think you would love to bioanalyze and not to mention the show itself is just really amazing and great! Please, I've been waiting for your video on this for years.

Hey Roanoke! You should check out the "Wildfire Virus" from The Walking Dead. It actually has quite a lot of information regarding the pathophysiology of the virus, as well as new information coming out regarding mutations in the newer seasons/shows.

So two things. Im a paramedic with a bachelors in psychology and neurochemistry. Gotta say I love your videos that I just discovered today. Second of all. The thing you’re looking for post trauma is usually some type of peripheral artery or vessel disease or a type of vasculitis which infects the vessels and/or blood and it reaches the heart leading to a type of acute heart disease leading to failure or leading to a possible carditis leading to an acute myocardial infarction which is incredibly rare for a disease or virus but theoretically possible if it causes a shrinkage and eventual closing of coronary vessels, or a fun type of peripheral thrombosis coming from the wound clotting traveling up the small vessels of the arm or the large vessels of the arm going to the heart leading to, you guessed it, myocardial ischemia leading to a myocardial infarction also known even more as a heart attack or possibly a pulmonary embolism which depending on where it is will cause ischemia and infraction of lung tissue and heart tissue or also possibly a cerebral stroke. It’s more likely those but also possible to be lymphadenitis and possibly causing a heart attack at the most and atleast sepsis.

I somehow long conned myself into thinking you’ve already covered Train to Busan. I’m damn glad I was wrong, this is an awesome thing to drop into my lap! Going in shocked that it’s not rabies, though. It’s so often rabies…

Roanoke. I just realized you never touched the Alien trilogy (we ignore everything past 3). Need your story break down and anatomy and morphology analysis

Hey Roanoke, for the inflamed blood vessels were you talking about blood poisoning?

13:32 They technically can decouple the cars there. But the problem is, their parked right in the Mainline. They need to find a siding first to decouple safely as another train might come and start a huge traffic or even an accident.

Train to Busan might be my favorite ever zombie movie. I think the reason why Korean zombie media feels so much better than American stuff is that they actually make you feel an attachment to the characters and make some scenes very emotional.

Still one of the best Zombie movies out there.

I love the Koreans for bringing back the zombie genre after it had slowed down hard in the last decade, Train to Busan, All of Us Are Dead, #Alive, these are just so damn good

Roanoke, I just want to say that you're channel unexpectedly became a form of motivation and help for me personally right now. I started watching you a year ago, and as of recent I shifted College Courses due to a lot of stuff, now I'm at a Medical Course to become, or rather to hopefully become a Nurse. retained knowledge of mine from your vids here and there unexpectedly helped me in the lectures I've had. Thank you.

I literally typed in the search bar “train to Busan virus explained” yesterday because I had thought you already made a vid on this.

I was watching this movie with my mom about a week ago and the scene where the ashes were falling. the first thing that popped into my head was "Ash to ash, dust to dust, if your bit by a zombie your surely f**ked" I'm not sure why it came to my head, I've never heard it before. But i laughed like an idiot for about 3 minutes. Good movie, in my opinion. I'm glad to see roanoke got around to breaking it down. Keep up the good work, roanoke. love the videos

Not seen this yet (obviously) but I know it’ll be good, I loved watching it before and will look forward to seeing this analysis of the disease!

I absolutely LOVE not only the constant MMO references BUT YOU NAILED THE CHRISTMAS STORY! An all time Goat you are Roanoke! Also I was stationed in S. Korea for a bit while in the Army, and they did warn us that during layouts or getting into anything that has been closed for a while to wear mask and watch for rodents, and if we did find any to stop and make leadership aware.

I haven’t watched this movie, but Sang-Wha is by far my favorite character and were he not fictional, I would very much like to be his friend.

I met the man who invented the part of a map that explains what each symbol means. What a legend.

Peninsula (the sequel to train to Busan) doesn't really offer much in terms of the infected and how they work other then.... i guess the effects of being infected for sometime and how humans would live in a infested world and i love to hear your thoughts on it

When you mentioned seeing a red line on your skin after a bite I think you were talking about Lymphangitis. I actually just had this after getting bit by some kind of bug on 4th of July, on my middle toe. It started off all itchy and swollen. I just cleaned it up out some cream on it and went on about my life like I normally would. Then 3 days later it looked infected and I noticed the lymph node in my upper thigh felt swollen and painful. The next day I got a red line from the bite traveling up my foot. Got a nice round of antibiotics and had to keep the wound clean and it eventually got better. But yea, definitely not something to mess with. I still have a left over blister from it. It’s all healed but occasionally it will randomly itch.

The director of this movie is a beast at Zombie film. He converted me from having a phobia of zombies to a slight obsession.

Roanoke you have no idea how long I have been waiting for you to cover this movie.

There actually is a "sequel" of sorts called The Peninsula. And you're right, the infection does make it all the way up to the DMZ.

2:49 I just realized the driver of the car is the same guy who played the dad on 'All of us are dead,' and 'Squid Game.' 😍🙌

My almonds are restless unless they're feeding on Roanokes videos 🧠

I love the movie summary. Please never remove it

I have been watching your videos for a long time now my man. It has been awesome to see your channel grow, but the heart of your content has always remained constant. You have gotten me through a lot of boring ass work days. Thank you and keep up the great work!

3:41 Just for some additional support. Had a good boy with FIV. He was diagnosed around 2017 after a fight with the neighbors cat, though he likely had it longer as he came from a shelter. He lived a happy life and only needed additional support once when he got a really bad case of cat flu. Passed away earlier this year at 15.

Always an amazing day when a Roanoke video drops! Keep up the amazing work!!

man the new upload schedule goes crazy, im loving it but I just hope no one gets burned out by it!

My mom got bit by my cat once when she tried to give the cat a pill… I was out of town and luckily my petsitter saw the red line going up my mom’s arm and told her to go to the doctor ASAP 😵

first video I've come across from your channel, really love the way you indulge into the biology of this virus. Really fun to watch a video about my two favorite things, scifi biology and real biology

Would never have thought that I would see the original SCP-173 file in this video but I guess we're all in for a shock with a zombie nightmare from wherever this film is supposed to take place LOL 22:29

Hey Roanoke, I think you were referring to Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) around 7:30

love your vids dude!! always dropping bangers right when im wondering what to watch!!!!

19:45 I love the A Christmas Story reference here, keep it up Roanoke!

A xenomorph video and muscle car video would be sick

Hey, Roanoke, you talking about irl septicemia? Blood poisoning? That's the only thing I can think of off the top of my head. Also, Sang-hwa wins Dad of the goddamn Century. Knew he was gonna die right out of the gate, as my favorites so often do in things like this, but still a boss regardless.

Love listening to your videos as I draw, do homework or just chill!!! They're really interesting and cool :DDDD

This movie always makes me cry. Really good pacing, believable characters - I suggest it to everyone I know

The thing with the vessel traveling up your arm is referred to as a line infection I believe? Crazy to think I'm taking antibiotics ATM (300 mg of Clindamycine, three times a day) and i dont know what it's exactly called. I also freaked out once you brought it up at the beginning of the video because I was like WOAH I HAVE THAT ATM LOL. But yes it can reach your heart and it can kill you. Be careful out there guys! (Hope you see this Roanoke love your videos man 😭)

The one lesson I can always learn from your videos Doctor Roanoke especially when it comes to zombie outbreaks is to always remember to stay strapped or risk being clapped and then having your homie make the painful decision to Domed you but honestly I'm not going to lie if I saw a random guy getting bit I would most likely say oof too having those words be the last thing they ever hear as they succumb to the virus before I end up putting them out of their misery.😂

Loving the new vid formats my guy, keep it up.

This is probably the best zombie movie ever made. The characters and the subtext the represent are just fantastic. I legit cried when Sang Hwa went out like the absolute gigachad he is and again at the end. Its a movie about fatherhood and humanity that hollywood could NEVER make today

Based on what you said near the end of the video, I could see a World War Z Movie strategy. While the virus may not create a distinct scent, there is a scent humans and other animals give off when sick, especially with a fever increasing sweating. Regarding the way to survive, I could definitely see myself actually surviving this one since my supply of insulin would last long enough! Type one sucks in a zombie outbreak that lasts a long time. While longevity is my weakness in this scenario, access to power tools and a history of home renovation and prop making would be useful in constructing makeshift shields out of cabinet handles and large boards. At LARPs, I've seen plywood shields stand up to full on body checks from 200+ lb people in 50+ lbs of costume, so with a solid construction, arming a makeshift shieldwall militia would be viable. Ultimately, guns aren't a rarity in the US and even in Korea, there are groups (military, some law enforcement) who can get strapped, so I could definitely see within a day engineers create walled compounds and people shoot over the walls. This is an infection, not true zed, so they aren't more durable than baseline and can be taken out by a few rounds to the chest. Once the initial infection is over, however, due to the zoonotic nature of this pathogen, I would definitely be concerned about infected animals. Even if someone dies from dehydration, they might infect their dog at the end or something and the dog might infect wildlife, so on and so forth. Walled compounds would definitely be a housing trend from there and animal control stocks would be to the moon, not that the movie's hedgie could take advantage. Ultimately, this infection seems very dangerous in its initial shock due to sprinters, but by day two things would be dying down fairly quick. I could easily see humanity surviving this. I am a bit confused on the impact of respiratory infection from the hanta virus though. You mention it can be spread through droplets, so a respirator is 100% necessary. Let me know if you see any gaps in my notes. I'd love to further discuss.

I do believe you were describing Sepsis, or blood poisoning. Basically a rare infection of the blood vessels by bacteria that yes, is fatal if it reaches the heart. Happens when you cut yourself just deep enough you wont bleed out but the blade was not clean and had bacteria on it that got past the immune system. Can also happen if you say go to the doctor to give blood and the needle wasnt clean or was improperly handled.

Honestly the beginning where roanoke is kinda rambling about viruses and all that is comforting for me in the sense that my mind constantly wanders to all sorts of world ending scenarios. So knowing that I'm not the only one who does it is cool

Been watching your videos for a couple months, decided to subscribe finally. I don't understand the science, but enjoy hearing it nonetheless lol. It's interesting, and you also keep things entertaining with your humor, which I also find funny

I'm pretty sure you were talking about DVT (Deep vein thrombosis) which is pre-bloodclot/bloodclot warning signs

We need to have an Asian man's photo (specially that of the pregnant woman's husband- Sang Hwa) as the new icon of Giga-Chad.

Love your video! Just found and start binging your videos, I’m from atlanta! Super cool seeing videos from someone from my state!

Damn, that "give thanks to your pops" hit me way to hard

Agreed about the humanity-ending scenario We have multiple proven cases where researchers have developed and lost control over their gain-of-function research. Each time we let it slide, they take it as permission Recent studies out of Japan highlights the situation we're in: pathogens are being engineered to be more damaging, with some labs working on viruses that target individual ethnic groups

brainz

i love all the tangents you go on, reminds me of how i often think about things

“Oopsy doopsy we made a big fucky wucky” is a fantastic phrase.

Waffle House sounds good on the 1M subscriber expedition. 🐺🥞
