I remember when I first saw this movie. It was on the Stars cable movie channel on a freebie weekend giveaway deal they sometimes have, and I was shocked at how freaking cool this movie was. It was the first time anyone really broke the zombie "code of ethics" with "super zombies".
Zombies that could talk, run, and couldn't be killed. This movie is pure, 80s horror fun and I LOVE the music, the soundtrack is so catchy and fitting, it was one of the highlights of the movie for me. The zombies had some really original make up designs, specially the slimy black one with the "More brains" line.
There's a Return of the Living dead 2, 3, 4, and 5. I saw 1-3 and 1 is easily the best. 2 is pretty stupid and 3 had some interesting kills and ideas to mix in but they are essentially all crap. I'm not bothering to go see 4 or 5. The only thing I hated about "Return" was the ending, it was just freaking stupid.
The whole bomb dropping thing, it was like something out of a Bugs Bunny cartoon and it seemed like a cheap way to end everything especially with such a diverse and wide cast range of characters scattered all around.
