History Film / Zombi2

** There's [[DolledUpInstallment around a dozen movies claiming to be Zombi 3-6]] [[MarketBasedTitle in some markets]], such as ''[[Film/{{Absurd}} Anthropophagus]]'' and ''KillingBirds'', and [[WebVideo/TheCinemaSnob at least one]] [[ViolentShit Zombi 7]].

''Zombi 2'' (1979) is a zombie horror film directed by Creator/LucioFulci, which made Fulci a horror icon. Despite the fact that it purports to be a sequel to ''Film/DawnOfTheDead'' (whose Italian title was ''Zombi''), [[InNameOnly the two films are unrelated]]. It's called ''Zombie Flesh Eaters'' in the UK.

* FollowTheLeader: Started the wave of zombie movies while cashing in on George A. Romero's films. Production started ''before'' ''Film/DawnOfTheDead'' was released, though.

*** Among the films claiming to be ''Zombi 3'' were ''Zombi Holocaust,'' ''La orgía de los muertos,'' ''Nightmare City,'' ''BurialGroundTheNightsOfTerror,'' and ''Let Sleeping Corpses Lie.''

* SequelFirst: We're not diagramming that again...

* ThreateningShark: Subverted in the well-known "zombie vs. shark" scene. The zombie wins.

* [[spoiler:BolivianArmyEnding]]: [[spoiler: The only survivors from the island are en route to New York only to learn via radio that the entire city has been taken by an uncontrollable horde of zombies.]]

* [[spoiler: DownerEnding]]
* [[EverythingsDeaderWithZombies Everything's Deader With Zombies]]
* [[ThreateningShark Everything's Even Worse With Sharks]]: The well-known "zombie vs. shark" scene.

* OnlySaneMan: Dr. Menard's wife Paola was fighting with her husband for refusing to drop his MadScientist tendencies and flee the island while they still had a chance.

** The CD that would have come with the graphic novel was put out onto the various filesharing websites though

* MenAreTheExpendableGender: Averted. Not only are men and women killed by the zombies in equal numbers, but the most gruesome death in the entire film goes to Paola, who gets [[EyeScream her eye gouged out]] and then the rest of her ripped to shreds.

-->'''Reporter''': [[spoiler:I've just been informed that zombies have entered the building. They're at the door... they're coming in! YI-YAGH! [[HellIsThatNoise ROOOWWAARRRRGGHHHHHH!]]]]

!! This movie contains examples of:

* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: As part of a deal with Fulci's estate, Blackest Heart Media produced a comic book adaptation of "Zombie" that would have included the actual invasion of New York by the zombies. But they went out of business and only rare handful of copies of the graphic novel was released and selling for $300-400 a piece.

* TooSoon: Dardano Sacchetti's father died before the film was released, and he didn't feel like associating him with a movie where the dead come back to life only to be killed again was the right thing to do at the time.

* {{Gorn}}

* {{BST}}: Ann and Peter fake it to avoid being arrested for trespassing on Dr. Bolt's boat. [[TheGuardsMustBeCrazy The officer that finds them having sex on the boat buys their act and simply shoos them off the boat.]]

* CoversAlwaysLie: That picture you see on a lot of advertising for the film, including many video covers and the page image? That's actually Ottaviano Dell'acqua, in full worm-eyed zombie regalia, doing his best impersonation of Olga Karlatos as Post-Eye-Gouge!Paola and is nowhere to be seen in the film proper.
** Actually he DOES appear in the film, as the zombie that kills [[spoiler: Susan.]] He just doesn't "smile" like in the posters.

* TooDumbToLive: The survivors actually had a pretty decent chance of holding out against the horde in the hospital near the end of the film...if only Dr. Menard had remembered to [[BoomHeadShot shoot]] the corpses already inside the building. You, know, ''[[IdiotBall like he'd been doing the entire movie already.]]''
