* CreatorCameo: George A. Romero's voice can be heard as one of the puppets in the children's show.



* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Romero originally wanted to include more explicit references to the previous ''Dead'' films, even trying to use stock footage from ''Dawn'' and ''Day'' in the opening credits. This was nixed due to the (still on-going) rights complications involving those films. This is why Creator/TomSavini's character is credited as "Machete Zombie" instead of "Blades", the name of his character in ''Dawn'' whose role he's reprising.
** In the original script, Sutherland escapes from Fiddler's Green with several other wealthier residents, by bribing Kaufman's private pilot to take them away in his helicopter instead, leaving Kaufman behind to be attacked by Cholo and Big Daddy, but this scene was cut after Dennis Hopper ad-libbed shooting Sutherland in one scene and it made it into the final cut.
