History Awesome / LandOfTheDead

** He's the first zombie shown with any intelligence. While others in the intro are doing things like playing instruments (more like barely making noise with a tuba, and another absent-mindedly banging a symbol), he immediately responds to someone stepping on his bell ringer at the gas station he worked at in his past life, and steps out ready to pour gas, before noticing Riley and grunting loudly to call some zombies to group up.

* One of the zombies, the butcher, uses his cleaver to slice off the arm of a soldier preparing a grenade,causing the man to fall atop it and die in the explosion, with not one other zombie killed in the process.

* Pilsbury, a giant Samoan and one of the three soldiers sent along with Riley's crew to retrieve Dead Reckoning. After Riley confronts the two surviving soldiers(Pilsbury and Motown)about their mission and how Kaufman will never get Dead Reckoning back, rather than trying anything underhanded, Pilsbury shows utter loyalty to the crew. He suggests that Charlie help Riley in the dealing with Cholo, which makes Motown wink at Pilsbury, as she believes the pair will overpower Slack. Pilsbury winks back and proceeds to deck Motown unconscious with one punch, showing he is not anyones stooge.

* One of the zombies that is among the horde is Tom Savini, reprising his role as a zombified version of Blade from the original "Dawn of the Dead", first throwing people to zombies and then hacking a man lengthwise with his machete!
* Cholo, upon being bitten, turning around and burying a whole quiver of his spears into the zombies skull definitely counts.

** The mere fact that Cholo can still use his spear-gun and a pistol, as well as actively searches for Kaufman, even when he's zombified still counts because it's awesome that he is still a badass even as a zombie.

* Cholo, upon being bitten, turning around and burying a whole quiver of his spears into the zombies skull definitely counts.

** Another zombie is ineffectually fighting with a baseball bat. Big Daddy hands her a gun instead, and shows her how to use it.

* One of the zombies that is among the horde is ''Creator/Tom Savini", reprising his role as a zombified version of Blade from the original "Dawn of the Dead", throwing people to zombies and hacking a man lengthwise with his machete!

** It briefly seems like he's been pacified by a reminder of his former life as a lowly gas station attendant, but quickly turns back to taking out Kaufman.

* Charlie nailing that midget and anything Cholo does with his speargun count.

** Even before Riley steps in, she still manages to put up a decent fight against the zombies. Even though she's trying to get away from them, she is still kicking them while trying to retreat, and best of all, she's fending them off UNARMED.

* This movie actually does keep up the series' trademark of having a strong black man as the hero. It just happens that this time, he's a zombie. Basically any time Big Daddy is onscreen is one of these.

** The moment when he first starts examining the assault rifle that the humans left behind, and leads the other zombies on a march toward the city.
