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.
Land of the Dead (2005)
Directed by: George A. Romero
Starring: John Leguizamo, Dennis Hopper, Asia Argento, Simon Baker
Revealing mistake: At the beginning of the movie, when the guy is bitten in the wrist, if you watch and listen closely when he shoots himself, the blood comes out of his head before he actually shoots.
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)
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.
Cholo: Still workin' for the man. Kaufman send you to kill me, huh?
Riley: Yes.
Cholo: Takes a true friend to stab you right in the front, doesn't it.
Cholo: How many times have I told you, Riley, stop banging chicks with more problems than you.
Kaufman: In a world where the dead are returning to life, the word "trouble" loses much of its meaning.
Question: Is there going to be a sequel to this movie? I checked IMDB and didn't find anything, I'm just trying to get more confirmation.
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?
