* CharacterTics: Throughout his time at the hospital, he is constantly checking his temperature with a thermometer, and is frequently shown with it [[OralFixation dangling out of his mouth like a tooth-pick]]; he mentions that it helps him monitor his stress levels, although WordOfGod indicates that it's more likely due to the fact that he's a [[The Hypochondriac hypochondriac]] who is [[ProperlyParanoid (justly, under the circumstances) paranoid]] about getting sick, an ironic .

* AnArmAndALeg: Loses a leg during the movie.

to:

* AmbiguouslyBi: In addition to her romance with El Wray, Cherry gets some ShipTease with Dakota, and the ending implies that they may have gotten together [[spoiler:after Wray's death]].
* AnArmAndALeg: Loses a leg during the movie. She uses three different prostheses to make up for it, first a table leg (which she breaks off against a rapist's head and jabs into his eye), then an assault rifle, and finally, a minigun.



* NoNameGiven: "Cherry Darling" is unlikely to be her real name, and "Palomita" is just Wray's name for her.

to:

* MsFanservice: Cherry starts the movie off doing an exotic dance, gets a sex scene with Wray, and she spends the movie wearing an outfit that shows off her legs (well, ''[[AnArmAndALeg leg]]'').
* NoNameGiven: "Cherry Darling" is unlikely to be her real name, and "Palomita" is just Wray's name AffectionateNickname for her.



* BrutalHonesty: Bluntly tells Cherry that she isn't funny when she expresses her desire to become a comedienne.

to:

* BrutalHonesty: Bluntly tells Cherry that she isn't funny when she expresses her desire to become a comedienne. She sees it as unnecessarily mean, however.
-->'''Cherry''': There's a difference between being frank, and being ''dick''.



* FamedInStory: Judging from Hague and Muldoon's almost reverent way of saying his name, Wray must have quite a reputation. [[MysteriousPast Not that the audience is ever made aware of it]].



* JerkassHasAPoint: While it's more than a bit insensitive to refer to Cherry's missing leg as "spilt milk", Wray is right that the hospital is currently under attack by zombies and they ''really'' need to get out of there.



* PintSizedPowerhouse: He's even shorter than Cherry, yet Wray is a veritable OneManArmy

to:

* PintSizedPowerhouse: He's even shorter than Cherry, yet Wray is a veritable OneManArmyOneManArmy.



* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: He treats his wife like garbage, but seems to have some fondness for his son. [[spoiler:Possibly subverted, since after Tony's death, Bill doesn't show any reaction beyond a continuing desire to kill Dakota.]]
* FacialHorror: He gets infected pus smeared on his face, which deforms and becomes his only visible sign of infection.



* LackOfEmpathy: When telling his friend Joe that his infected arm will need to be amputated, Block bluntly tells him so to his face, gives him no time to process the information, and totally ignores the procedure itself. Later, when infected people start coming into the hospital for treatment, his first thought is self-preservation.



* SoftSpokenSadist: His already present CreepyMonotone becomes even quieter and more menacing while threatening Dakota.
* TheStoic: He only shows muted hints of emotion during the movie.



* DaddyIssues: When she and Earl see each other, his first words are "I told you I didn't want to see you again". In ''Death Proof'', an otherwise civil, but tense discussion ends with Dakota storming off, calling her father an asshole.
* EatingTheEyeCandy: She shows a fair bit of appreciation for Cherry's looks, giving her an impressed once-over when Cherry demonstrates her "useless" talent of flexibility.
-->'''Cherry''': I'm Cherry.\\
'''Dakota''': You sure are.



* OutlivingOnesOffspring: [[spoiler:Dakota leaves Tony a handgun to protect himself from the zombies, but Tony accidentally shoots himself with it.]]



* GoOutWithASmile: [[spoiler:JT laughs as he sets off the explosives that kill him and destroy Muldoon's facility.]]
* ITasteDelicious: After being wounded, JT tastes some of his barbecue sauce and finds that it's finally perfected, only to be disturbed when his brother points out that JT ''bled'' into the sauce. JT later figures out that the missing ingredient was actually salt.



* {{Determinator}}: Hague goes through the whole latter half of the movie with a gutshot, even managing to drive Wray's truck despite the injury.
* DiedInYourArmsTonight: [[spoiler:He finally succumbs to his gunshot wound in his brother JT's arms.]]



* NoodleIncident: He and Wray are already acquainted at the start of the movie, and Hague refers to an incident where he stuck his neck out for Wray (and apparently regretted it).



* BodyHorror: In his final scene, the virus gets the better of Muldoon and he swells into a hideous monstrousity, gruesome even by the standards of the rest of the movie.



* TheStoic: Except for one scene where he loses his temper for a moment, Muldoon remains chillingly calm for the entire movie.



* MadScientist: He created the DC-2 that sets off the events of the film.

* MadScientist: He created the DC-2 that sets off the events of the film. To his credit, though, he wants to develop an antidote after all hell breaks loose ([[SurprisinglySuddenDeath not that he gets the chance]]).
