* ShoutOut: To ''Film/{{Alien}}'', ''Film/TheCrazies'', ''Film/DayOfTheDead1985'', and ''Film/TheReturnOfTheLivingDead'', among others.

** LargeHamRadio: "I'll dedicate my next number to all the undead around the world." Indeed, Blue Heart is like this when he's not being serious.

* XanatosBackfire: The criminal that absconded with Death One wound up being done in by it. Then he inadvertently turns the XanatosBackfire on the Philippines when his ashes proceed to infect the air and kill a flock of birds that happened to pass by.

'''''Zombi 3D''''' is a 1988 film and the sequel to Creator/LucioFulci's ''Film/{{Zombi 2}}''. The film was the brainchild of schlockmeister [[AfterDeath Claudio]] [[Film/{{Troll 2}} Fragasso]] and was originally under the direction of Fulci himself before he was replaced with Bruno Mattei.

* ShoutOut: To ''Film/{{Alien}}'', ''Film/TheCrazies'', ''Film/DayOfTheDead'', and ''Film/ReturnOfTheLivingDead'', among others.

* ThirdIs3D: Technically; as ''Zombi 2'' is basically a fanmade sequel to ''Film/DawnOfTheDead'', this film should count, as it was originally filmed in 3D.

* KillEmAll: According to General Morton, "any living creature in a contaminated area will not get out alive. ''You can count on that, Dr. Holder!''"

'''''Zombi 3D''''' is a 1988 film and the sequel to LucioFulci's ''Film/{{Zombi 2}}''. The film was the brainchild of schlockmeister [[AfterDeath Claudio]] [[Film/{{Troll 2}} Fragasso]] and was originally under the direction of Fulci himself before he was replaced with Bruno Mattei.

* ThrowItIn: Lucio Fulci himself ordered an unscripted scene shot featuring the zombie head in the freezer; no wonder, since [[WordOfGod that's the only scene of the film he ever admitted to liking]].

Meanwhile, a trio of [=GIs=] and a group of tourists unite against the ever-growing threat of the living dead...

'''General Morton''': [[TemptingFate That's ridiculous, pure ]]ScienceFiction!

* NoExportForYou: The prologue has only been seen in a few countries, including Japan and the United States.

* WhatAnIdiot: If you see a bluish liquid, do NOT touch it. The criminal who absconds with it does just that and is killed within hours, if not minutes, by Death One.

-->'''General Morton''': ''[after being asked who told him to burn the infector's body]'' I had to close an episode.\\

* FourIsDeath: The infected nutjob spends his last moments in Room 4 at the Sweet River Resort; [[FromBadToWorse it only gets worse from there.]]

-->'''Norma''': Hadn't it ever occurred to you that the ashes, assimilated into the air, could fall back to Earth again?\\
'''General Morton''': That's ridiculous, pure ScienceFiction!
* CatchPhrase: "Now you're talking ScienceFiction." Spoken [[RuleOfThree three times]], sometimes with a variation, by General Morton. Each time it's spoken when the scientists let him know that burning the infector wasn't a very bright idea due to environmental concerns.

* SkewedPriorities: General Morton is more concerned with stopping an epidemic than the air pollution potential. However, when Dr. Holder presents his theory about how burning the infector started the infection in the first place (as transcribed below) toward the end, Morton appears to be sold on at least that.

-->'''General Morton''': Yes... I see. Evacuate the premises, and ''eliminate everyone there. Bury them in a mass grave.'' Transport the body of the infector with maximum precaution to... you know where. Well done, lieutenant.

Just before the samples can reach their intended destination, two nutjobs driving a Ford Econoline show up to steal the box containing Death One. One is killed in the resulting shootout, but the other manages to escape with the box. Then he trips, and the box breaks. [[WhatAnIdiot While trying to pick it back up, he accidentally touches the liquid]] and flees to the nearest hotel. No matter what he tries, the infection spreads and he dies.

A decontamination squad is sent to comb the area, and the blood samples left by the nutjob are traced to the hotel. The decontamination squad rounds up everyone inside and kills them after recovering their quarry. General Morton orders the hotel patrons and staff buried in a mass grave and the nutjob burned. As Dr. Holder unsuccessfully tries to warn the General to let the corpse out of the oven, what he fears happens: the nutjob's ashes infect the air and turn the living into the living dead.

* CassandraTruth: The military doesn't seem to listen to Dr. Holder and his assistant when they warn them that burning the Death One victim that contaminated the hotel could have serious consequences for the island's air quality and its population.

* CatchPhrase: "Now you're talking ScienceFiction." Spoken [[RuleOfThree three times]], sometimes with a variation, by General Morton. Each time it's spoken when the scientists let him know that burning the nutjob wasn't a very bright idea due to environmental concerns.

* HowWeGotHere: According to Dr. Holder, [[spoiler:Death One was mutated by the fire that consumed the nutjob's corpse, to the point where it actually resists oxygen and could potentially infect anywhere in the world if it so much as rains. Does [[FlatEarthAtheist General Morton]] give a shit? "Now you're talking science fiction."]]

-->'''General Morton''': We have to cut off the epidemic area.\\

* VillainyDiscretionShot: The anti-contamination squad following General Morton's orders after discovering the nutjob's rotten corpse:
-->'''General Morton''': Evacuate the premises... and eliminate everyone there. Bury them in a mass grave.

* WhatAnIdiot: If you see a bluish liquid, do NOT touch it. The nutjob who absconds with it does just that and is killed within hours, if not minutes, by Death One.

* XanatosBackfire: The nutjob that absconded with Death One wound up being done in by it. Then he inadvertently turns the XanatosBackfire on the Philippines when his ashes infect the air as he is burned.

-->'''Patricia''': We're going back to that? [[spoiler:To fight]]?\\
'''Ken''': We're going back [[spoiler:to win, before humanity's done for]].

* BolivianArmyEnding: [[spoiler:GI Ken and Patricia flee the island as GI Roger is gunned down. As Blue Heart dedicates the next song to "all the undead around the world", Patricia worries that there may be nothing to return to. Ken assures her that they're not just going back down there to fight the zombies, they're going back down there to win.]]
