Prologue:A light-colored station wagon drives through the fog up to an old, dusty baroque mansion.The inside of the enormous luxurious chateau is disheveled and messy, showing evidence of the previous night""s party/orgy.[As he enters, background music appropriately plays: "It""s a Most Unusual Day."]One of his friends alludes to his heavy drinking habits: "You may be slow in starting, but there""s nobody faster coming down the homestretch.Ethan was saved under Davian""s body, low enough to be clear of the truck""s under-carriage.He quickly released Julia from her bindings (and hurriedly instructed her how to load and reload a Baretta weapon, and defend herself against any other enemies), while he looked for a way to deactivate the bomb in his head.Barbra fled to their car with the slow-moving, crooked-jawed man shambling after her.She lost her shoes after falling on the slick grass.It was not yet clear that the strange man was a reanimated, ravenous ""living dead"" corpse (or zombie, although the term was never explicitly used in the film).To heighten the effects of the violence (numerous fistfights and gunfights) and provide a striking contrast to the aciturn silence of the former gunslinger, director Stevens magnified he sounds of punches and gunshots on the soundtrack, but he never glorified violence for its own sake.
