If I had George Romero's glasses, Chuck Norris' beard, and Steven Seagal's pony tail, I would be GOD!!!!

@UniteForgetLeftRight i watched it on tv, so it was silly, fun, and had -CENSORED- in it:( but i still like the scene where a zombie is practicly singing "brains, brains, brains" and it was the first horror flick i watched that wasnt frightening, at all. i was 11 when i saw it(actually im not sure abuot that, i may have been 12, im bad with time, anyways, i was younger)

[UniteForgetLeftRight]

@MrDavidX96 well return does not deserve or ask to be taken as seriously, its just silly, fun and its got titties in it!!!

[MrDavidX96]

@UniteForgetLeftRight true, im not especially partial to supernatural undead because, when you kill 'em, why caint they come back? but im too tired to rgue with you so i'll just say this: u raise a good point, and hell spilling over is better than return of the living dead. have a good one

in a reenforced warehouse one of the characters says: "they still know were around here and more will come. i saw one with its entire face missing i could even see its brain barely even held in the skull, it had no jaw or teeth, its throat was half hanging out of its neck and it still followed me and tried to eat me, a well thrown rock splashed whats left of the brain all over the street, they are like migrating animals, they just know which way to go"

[UniteForgetLeftRight]

one of the best parts was a inner monologue of a person undergoing zombie transformation, he would hallucinate being burned alive (severe fever) and losing everything he cared about everything going away, envelopment in darkness and despair, then seeing a living person immediately envying their life, the simple logic becomes clear, a way out of the pain, devour the light to regain your humanity, they dont need eyes, ears or a nose to find, you they sense your soul

[UniteForgetLeftRight]

@MrDavidX96 i remember reading a zombie short story where whoever got bitten died and turned into a zombie but not everyone that died of other causes turned into one and a religious character suggested that the damned are the only ones that come back, medical personnel doing experiments on them noted that other than the slow decay there is no evidence of a pathogen or foreign substance and no way to explain how rotting tissue continues to function its not romero endorsed but i liked

[UniteForgetLeftRight]

@MrDavidX96 i prefer to think of it as a supernatural plague myself, like a wrath of god 10 plagues of egypt type thing, they have lost their souls and devour the living to try to get one back. the very condition defies biology anyway, rotting coagulated blood cannot flow oxygen to the muscles to facilitate movement, and peter did say when theres no more room in hell the dead will walk the earth

[MrDavidX96]

@UniteForgetLeftRight true, i was refering to the line "we are treating this like a virus" which to me makes sense: viruses are generally incurable and must have time to reproduce themselve and spread to the brain. but of course that would also make sense with ratiation excepts, How does it spread from 1 to another w/out prolonged exposure? and most microorganisms are curable. chemicals and a virus make the most sense but i hate return of the living dead 2 much 2 admit that

[UniteForgetLeftRight]

@MrDavidX96 the romero's dawn of the dead never gave an explanation, i would know i watch that movie at least once a month, all romero's movies speculate but never give a concrete answer

end credits: a smile ALWAYS comes to my face when i hear that music, i picture roger sliding down the escalator and all the rest of their lighthearted looting freinzy... good times
