Land of the Dead

Trivia: The writers of Shaun of the Dead are in this film as a cameo. They are the zombies in the photo booth (around the time when Riley is in the gambling pit run by the midget).

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).

Trivia: Robert Joy, who plays Charlie, was in Amityville 3-D. When one of the monsters came out of the well in that movie, it blew fire on him and burned half of his face, the same half that was burned in this movie.

Mistakes

Continuity mistake: When the bikers ride through the zombie infested town for the first time watch when Big Daddy is shot at. The windows behind him are shattered by the bullets but a few seconds later are fully intact. This may be hard to see as it is dark but they are back, easiest way to tell is by the reflection from across the street. (00:08:50)

Questions

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?
