* ArtifactTitle: With a title like that, you'd expect the Soviet zombies to be a major part of the story.

Dangerously Genre Savvy is being merged with Genre Savvy. Misuse and zero context examples will be cut.


* DangerouslyGenreSavvy: Herzog, for a horror comedy is actually a pretty dangerous and smart villain even if he was not a zombie. He only resurrects the zombies which are fully functional (to the extent after he is done killing them) and sends the weaker zombies to weather the worst attacks first.

The 2014 sequel to the Norwegian horror comedy ''Film/DeadSnow''.

[[ImmediateSequel Right after]] the events of the previous film, Martin manages to fight back and run away from the [[{{Ghostapo}} Nazi zombies]]. In the process, the zombies' leader loses his right arm, which is used to replace Martin's lost one when he is eventually taken to a hospital. In there, he learns that the said arm has supernatural abilities, mostly in regards to accidentally killing people. After escaping the hospital, he comes in contact with the American Zombie Squad, who travel to Norway to help him to stop the Nazi zombies, who are ravaging the local countryside.

!! Tropes in this sequel:

* AmbiguouslyGay: Glenn mentions how he has a "he" whom he finds he to be very hot but suddenly retracts it to a "she". Not so ambiguous after all...
** Made pretty clear by [[spoiler: His last words.]]
-->[[spoiler: '''Glenn:''' Fuck it! I'm just going to say it. I, Glenn Kenneth Toivonen, [[KilledMidSentence am--]]]]
* BloodierAndGorier: The film is much gorier than the first part which was very gory itself.
* TheCavalry: The undead Reds.
-->'''Martin:''' I brought a few friends.
* TheChewToy: The poor guy in the wheelchair who [[spoiler: gets reanimated repeatedly each time going through horrible punishment. All PlayedForLaughs of course.]]
* ClearMyName: Martin is accused of the killings perpetrated by Herzog and his army. Subverted as he abandons trying to clear himself and focuses on killing Herzog instead.
* DangerouslyGenreSavvy: Herzog, for a horror comedy is actually a pretty dangerous and smart villain even if he was not a zombie. He only resurrects the zombies which are fully functional (to the extent after he is done killing them) and sends the weaker zombies to weather the worst attacks first.
* DropTheHammer: When the big fight between Nazi zombies and redarmy zombies start, Daniel takes on the opposing side with [[DualWielding two]] common household hammers.
* EveryoneIsArmed: Averted, and lampshaded by the American characters who can't believe they can't buy firearms at the local hardware store.
* EvilHand: [[spoiler: Herzog's hands, one of which gets surgically attached to Martin, that can reanimate the dead!]]
* GenocideBackfire: When he was alive, Herzog wiped out the Soviet [=POWs=]. When they come back, they want nothing more than to annihilate him and his army.
%%* {{Gorn}}
* HuskyRusskie: The Soviet lieutenant Stavarin is an enormous shaggy-bearded bear of a zombie, and BadAss enough to tear through the Nazis and hand [[BigBad Herzog]] his ass in a fight.
* ILoveTheDead: [[spoiler: Martin reanimates Hanna in the end and has sex with her [[AutoErotica in the car]].]]
* InfantImmortality: Averted with extreme prejudice when [[spoiler:Martin accidentally kills Bobby by him [[DestinationDefenestration throwing through a window]]]].
* ItsPersonal: Lieutenant Stavarin doesn't take his eyes off Herzog when he and his own "army" arrive.
* MassOhCrap: The cops when they start realising just what's going on.
-->'''Chief of Police:''' Jesus, Mary and Joseph Stalin!
* NerdActionHero: The Zombie Squad are nerds but surprisingly pretty competent fighters.
* NobodyHereButUsStatues: After the Nazi zombies raid the local UsefulNotes/WorldWarII museum, Martin and Glenn elude them by pretending to be mannequins among the exhibits.
* NotWhatItLooksLike: [[spoiler:Delivered while elbow-deep in the guts of a dead child, no less.]]
* OffWithHisHead: [[spoiler:Herzog, [[KeystoneArmy with his army]], is eventually defeated when a blast from the commandeered tank takes his head off]].
* OhCrap: Herzog and his tankman when the undead Reds arrive.
* PlayedForLaughs: Despite being [[BloodierAndGorier much gorier than the first film]], the sequel is ''significantly'' more lighthearted and played-for-laughs than its predecessor. Some film critics compared the first to the first ''[[Film/TheEvilDead1981 Evil Dead]]'', and the second to the comedically gory ''Film/{{Braindead}}''.
* PoliceAreUseless: Enforced. The lead police officer is useless but he deliberately stays out of the action to let the zombies kill each other and then nab Martin to become famous.
* SpeaksInShoutOuts: Monica, one of the Zombie Squad members, speaks almost entirely in ''Franchise/StarWars'' quotes.
-->'''Glenn:''' Could we ''please'' maybe focus on, you know, the nazi zombies instead?
* TheStinger: [[spoiler: The Nazi Zombie Doctor wasn't killed along with the others. He finds and reanimates Herzog's head.]]
* TankGoodness: After attacking a local UsefulNotes/WorldWarII museum, the Nazi zombies commandeer a tank that was part of the showcase.
* TookALevelInBadass: Martin especially with [[spoiler: Herzog's surgically attached right hand]] becomes a very badass character.
* VersusTitle: While the original Norwegian title is simply ''Død Snø 2'' (''Dead Snow 2'') the english title omits the NumberedSequel trope and adds a VersusTitle as a subtitle.
%%* VomitIndiscretionShot: Several.
* WorldOfBadass: Martin, the Zombie Squad (despite being nerds), Stavarin, even Glenn. The only non-badass characters would be the cops.
* WorstAid: A very graphic example of why you should get used to having a superpowered EvilHand before attempting to give cardiac massage. Or give mouth-to-mouth to a zombie.
* WrongGenreSavvy: Daniel thinks he is TheHero. He is more of TheSmartGuy though he is not a bad fighter [[spoiler:survives the movie.]]
