And yet they are still structurally capable of movement...
The real truth is that in reality, even if it were possible to create a walking zombie immediately after death they would have a very short shelf life.
The biggest problem to overcome is that a dead body left outdoors decays extremely quickly, and the reanimated brain stem that supposedly powers a zombie would decay as well. At the very most, a zombie might have a month long life span but even then, it is likely that his legs would not be able to move him around for that entire duration either. The muscles would become useless as they quickly putrefy.
Nonetheless .... I LOVE zombie movies.
