This is a direct comparison to the first movie's hero, who does the same to a soldier without being infected. After reuniting with his wife, Don gets infected by the virus and kills Alice by gouging her eyes out.
Eye Scream: This sequel plays this trope horrifyingly straight. Elites Are More Glamorous: Doyle is a Sniper with Delta Force.
Eiffel Tower Effect: Invoked quite literally in the final scene. It's possible they survived, but it's also implied that the plague spread to the mainland via Andy. The children's fate is left up in the air. Downer Ending: London has been decimated once again by the virus and the subsequent firebombing, all of the thousands of London settlers have been horribly killed, and the Infected have overrun France, meaning they'll probably spread to much of the Continent. #28 WEEKS LATER 2 MOVIE#
Decoy Protagonist: Robert Carlyle's character Don who we start the movie following is either this or a Sacrificial Lion. Since the crowd of civilians and infected were coming out of one large set of doors, with multiple automatic weapons trained on it, if the soldiers had unloaded immediately on everyone coming through, they might have been able to stop the infection right there. This causes their lines to be swamped by panicking civilians and infected that weren't identified fast enough. soldiers are ordered to only fire on infected. When the quarantined civilians inside Sector One initially break out, chased by/mixed with Infected, the U.S. Daylight Horror: The beginning sequence and the final image of the movie, particularly. One can pick out the entire plot of the movie simply from one conversation in the first few minutes. A man is pressed up against a wall as the Rage virus infected run past the alley presumably their blinding anger prevents them from doing common sense things like looking around for someone who's gone out of sight.

Black Dude Dies First: Averted - Flynn survives all the way to the end of the movie, though he probably dies afterward along with everyone else. Badass Normal: When the infected begin breaking into the house Don stays behind and holds them off at the breach for quite a while with only a crowbar, buying time for the rest and only retreating when he loses his weapon. #28 WEEKS LATER 2 LICENSE#
Artistic License Gun Safety: Snipers are shown passing time by using the scopes attached to their rifles, rather than binoculars, to spy on residents of the district. Yet when they are herded to a secure location for their own safety - no matter how unsafe that actually turned out to be in the end - they bicker and complain to the troops about it. One assumes that even the ones who were outside of the UK and returned had been shown videos and been told how virulent the Infected were before they even returned. Apathetic Citizens: They've all just survived a viral outbreak. The catastrophe could've been averted if they just had more guards posted on watch. While initially having things under control, by the end of the film the infection has broken out and the U.S. Justified in that Andy is small enough to fit inside an air duct. Air-Vent Passageway: Andy uses one to escape a locked room after the infection spreads amongst the crowded civilians in District 1. military to recolonize Britain after all the Infected were apparently cleared out. After the End: The premise of the sequel involved attempts by the U.S. Actionized Sequel: While the first film was definitely not light on action, this one is pretty much one long flight from the zombies all the way through. 28 Weeks Later provides examples of the following tropes:
