I finally got it on DVD (5 bloomin days to post it, pfft) and noticed some odd things in it.
In the deleted scene (motorway wreckage) there are loads of vans going by in the background and it zooms out to show a busy motorway. Are the 'rage' infected meant to be driving around or something? Perhaps this is the reason it became a deleted scene!
In a lab where an abundance of primates are being held in torture, why would the only person on duty, a wimpy scientist at that, leave his important duties to grab a coffee?
At 'Blockade 42' - why do the soldiers wait until the guy gets infected before revealing their position (by shooting him) and offering them safety?
When they stop in the countryside for then night, how come to two older horses are white and their two offspring are black?
At the end with the big "Hello" message, why didn't they write "Help" which would have been more appropriate and taken less fabric and less time to make?
Who wrote, "Repent, the end is extemely f*cking nigh" ? Heh, its great!
Does anyone else find that the film slightly turns into "Dog Soldiers" towards the end?
Why does Jim run about topless on the rooves, despite having numerous chances to nick another top?
Why is there a key to the locked door inside Jim's hospital room?
Is the movie sponsored by Pepsi, its all they seem to drink?
Why does the old mansion house have about 40 "Epson photo studio" boxes in it?
Why do the women have to get dressed up?
Why am I so picky!? Its a great film, if you can answer any of the questions I'd appreciate it :-D

Because people do that sort of thing. Why would an airline pilot get drunk before flying a plane full of 300 people? Human nature. I was amsued that the bloke is from Brass Eye.

Why give your position away unduly? I'd check out anyone who has managed to find their way to the blockade as they've obviously got their sh*t together-a potential threat.

There is no incinuation that the horses are a family.

I think that they could have written anything, the pilots are looking for survivors. Help also implies that there may be an immediate threat, when hello is simply a greeting that implies zero hos**tility.

Dunno but it made me chuckle.

Yeah but without the a great denoument. I don't want the main bad guy to be done in by a girl driving a taxi.

He's gone loco.

Are you sure it's a key and does he have a choice to open the door? Er sorry that's reloaded. Hmmm....
> Is the movie sponsored by Pepsi, its all they seem to drink?
If the infected drank vodka redbulls...

Although it does get VERY fudged up at the end. In a good, psychologically-scarring way, of course :D

In the commentary, Boyle says "We did nick that idea, it just appealed to us"

It reminded me more of Day of the Dead. Baddie soldiers being boisterous and mistreating the civilians (or scientists in Day), and then getting killed by the monsters.
Even the Rage sufferer they keep in the yard is like Bub from Day of the dead.

Both of those can be answered by the phrase: Product Placement. It's all about advertising.

The deleted scene commentary explains that they had originally intended to remove the moving cars using computers, though in the end the scene wasn't "grand" enough so it was dropped anyway.
