2.) The Motaba Virus
Featured in: Outbreak
Source: The monkey from "Friends"
Effects: Coughing up some blood, dramatically passing out
In the early-90s everyone got all worked up about the Ebola virus, and Outbreak was the result of it. Seemingly reluctant to cause a stir by chronicling what would actually happen in an Ebola outbreak, the film opts for a made-up Ebola-lite virus called Motaba.. The Motaba virus remains menacing enough but lacks the unsightly realities of bloody diarrhea, black vomit, and blood spewing from every orifice that's associated with Ebola.
Worse than Pig Flu?: You know what? Outbreak isn't a very good movie.
