Corrected entry: George A. Romero actually has his own little trademark in his zombie flicks. It's a zombie on fire. In all his zombie movies of his there is at least one who ends up completely engulfed in flame.

Correction: Tthere is no flaming zombie in Day of The Dead.

Corrected entry: Society globally has collapsed, yet for some reason money is still worth something, as Dead Reckoning is "a 5-million dollar vehicle" and apartments in Fiddlers Green cost money. If there are no stock markets, no other nearby human settlements, how is money still being used and cycled effectively through the city?

Correction: Money, in it simplest form, is simply an agreed-upon currency. After a society falls, one of the first things that happens when it's reforming is the establishing of currency. Obviously a "dollar" for them would be much different than the dollar we use.

Corrected entry: According to Dawn of the Dead (2004), zombies ignore animals like dogs, which is why they sent the dumb mutt across town. In this film, when the two zombies are fighting in the ring, the main character asks, "What kind of food are we fighting over this time: dog or cat?"

Correction: Dawn of the Dead (2004) is not a Romero film, it is a remake of Romero's Dawn of the Dead (1978), but it was not made by him. In Romero's films the zombies do eat animals, and they only walk slowly, unlike Dawn of the Dead (2004) where they run.

Corrected entry: All the zombies must have lead in their shoes as they are walking on the bottom of the sea without floating up like corks.

Correction: Maybe they took loads of seawater into their stomachs and lungs. They are undead and have no need for air. Maybe there is something about becoming a zombie that changes their natural buoyancy.

Corrected entry: Where have the surviving residents of Fiddlers Green obtained all the latest clothing, computers and firearms? The desert camouflaged uniforms some soldiers wore was not even invented until the early 1980's. If society's collapse started in 1978 in Dawn of the Dead, shouldn't everyone still be wearing bell bottoms and leisure suits, since that's when all fashion and technology ceased?

Correction: According to the timeline of Land of the Dead, the outbreak happened 3 years ago, even though the last movie in the series was over 20 years ago.

Corrected entry: When they are in a pickup, Slack asks Riley how long their friend has until he'll become a zombie, he refers to his little brother as a "she".

Correction: You heard it wrong. He obviously says "he"

Correction: Character mistake, not a movie mistake. I've accidentally called my mom dad and my dad mom on a few occasions.

Corrected entry: At the beginning in the liquor store when John Leguizamo opens the cooler doors and out comes a zombie, If you look closely at the zombie you can see that this is "Bub" from "Day Of The Dead". You can see the zombie is wearing the same kind of camouflaged jacket and has a dog's choke chain around his neck. Sherman Howard originally played "Bub" in the 1985 movie, but is played here by an unknown actor.

Correction: It wasn't Bub. Bub was still trapped in the underground bunker down in florida. However, it did look a lot like bub.

Other mistake: When the zombies come out of the river and start marching, look closely. The first zombies to come out wear wet clothes, but the ones in the back are dry.

Trivia: Tom Savini plays the "machete zombie." This is a callback to the original Dawn of the Dead (1978) where he played the living version of that character- a motorcycle riding hillbilly. He also did special makeup effects on Dawn and Day of the Dead (1985).

More trivia for Land of the Dead

Question: At the end, when Riley meets the 'freedom fighters', why aren't they bothered by the zombies who are still walking around, or the defences being completely useless, as the zombies tore the defences down or went through the river?

Answer: Riley feels that they have just the right to be there as the living do. Besides, those zombies survived all the missles and are coming to the city while Riley and the gang are leaving. So why waste the ammunition?
