    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      George A. Romero had plans to make two more sequels which he would film back-to-back, starting with "Road of the Dead". Unfortunately, illness and ultimately his death in 2017 prevented any of this happening.
    • Goofs
      (at around 22 mins) At one point Sarge Crockett smashes out one of the windows in the armored truck with the butt of a rifle. In reality, that is impossible since the polycarbonate "bullet-resistant" windows would not be penetrated even by a bullet, much less the blunt plastic butt of a rifle.
    • Quotes
      • Sarge 'Nicotine' Crocket: Where's Cisco?
      • Tomboy: He's... in heaven... telling the Virgin Mary he can change her life.
