I\'m pretty sure that this would be considered genre savvy.

* GenreSavvy: When it looks like the heroes have found another human being and request shelter, the old man is quick to ask who the current president is. Which in turn saves the gang from the zombie who was trying to trick them.

Added Adaptation Expansion & note on original non-comedic version

* AdaptationExpansion: Russo's novelization adds a [=KGB=] subplot to flesh out the origin of Trioxin.
Added DiffLines:
** The biggest is that the original intent was for a serious [=3D=] sequel to Night of the Living Dead, but when O'Bannon replaced Tobe Hooper as director he also requested a total rewrite to make it stand apart from the Romero canon. But it's doubtful few are complaining about what we got instead.

* RealityEnsues: Inverted. Remember how the zombie infestation in ''Film/NightOfTheLivingDead'' worked the way it would've in real life, with the ending that reveals that the infestation was stopped as easily as it had started? Well, in this movie, it doesn't work that way. "You mean the movie lied!?"
Added DiffLines:
* RealityEnsues: Both inverted and played straight; the zombies play by the same rules as the first film, but they just can't stand electricity. High voltage can kill the living ''dead'' as easily as it can kill the living, and [[spoiler:thanks to the efforts of the protagonists the infestation is stopped as quickly as it was in ''Film/NightOfTheLivingDead'']].
