* CompleteMonster: Mitchell, the vile soldier who gets a kick out of raping women and brutally murdering people as they beg for their lives. It says a lot about him that, in a film filled with violent psychotic murderers, he is by far the worst as he does it entirely of his own choosing. He gets perhaps the most brutal death in the film and he completely deserved it.

* FanDisservice: First of all, when you get to see Selena in her underwear it's because [[spoiler:the soldiers stripped her and are planning to rape her as well as Hannah]]. Jim spends the last 20 minutes of the film shirtless - only problem is [[spoiler:he's covered in blood and going around killing everyone]].

* DownerEnding: Danny Boyle has stated that the "true ending" has [[spoiler: Jim dying in the abandoned hospital after being shot by the soldiers]]. You can imagine why this was reduced to a mere AlternateEnding.
* EvenEvilHasStandards / PetTheDog: [[spoiler:Major West comforts one of his dying men.]]

* SceneryGorn: The directors in their commentary were amazed at how they achieved a sense of ruin by ''blocking traffic for a few seconds''. The film also has some really beautifully framed and executed shots that they shot with DV cameras to give it a really gritty feel.
* SceneryPorn: On the flipside, there are some downright ''beautiful'' shots of the British landscape as Jim, Hannah, Selena, and Frank make their way north to Manchester.
* TitleConfusion: in 2000, there was a SandraBullock film called ''[[Film/TwentyEightDays 28 Days]]'', in which she played [[TheAlcoholic a woman who was court-ordered to go through a rehab program]]. ''28 Days '''Later''''' was released two years later in 2002, leading a few (before they saw any trailers or promotional materials), to initially wonder if a sequel to ''28 Days'' had been made.

* AlasPoorVillain: Some of the soldiers when Mailer gets loose, especially Bill who can only hide in the corner as he has no ammunition for his rifle.

** Christopher Eccleston went on to play the [[Series/DoctorWho Ninth Doctor]] and is known as this for British audiences/Who fans. Americans would know him as Destro in the GI Joe live-action film.

** Some people took alarming amounts of pleasure in pointing out cars and such that can be seen well in the distance in long shots of London. Notwithstanding the difficulty in stopping all traffic in a city of 7+ million, the movie explicitly shows that there are survivors in the city. It's not even a plot hole!
** The at-times increasingly pedantic debates over whether this movie is a zombie movie or not can sometimes take on this edge as well.

* CrowningMusicOfAwesome: Godspeed You! Black Emperor's death knell, "East Hastings". According to director Danny Boyle, the Canadian post-rock outfit's music was a big inspiration in creating the doom and gloom atmosphere of the movie.

* TearJerker: [[spoiler:Frank]]'s infection.
** Also Jim returning home to find his parents having committed suicide.
