  • Complete Monster:
    • Road of the Dead: The Doctor is the nameless Mad Doctor employed by a group of extremists trying to figure out a cure to the zombie virus ravaging Earth. The Doctor performs his job more for the thrill of hurting people rather than helping humanity; he dances to Kool & the Gang while torturing numerous innocents strapped up in his bloody laboratory, injecting innocent people with zombie blood to see what will happen, which always results in gruesome death. When he captures one of the main protagonists, Brooke, the Doctor puts her through prolonged medical torture, at one point pointlessly murdering one of his prisoners so he can torment Brooke by pretending he's about to inject her with his blood.
    • Apocalypse:
      • The Surgeon General is a power-hungry medical genius who rivals his predecessor in sadistic mania. The Surgeon General performs heinous experiments on countless innocent people and zombies alike to create "hybrids", engaging in regular torture and vivisection of his subjects for his research. Once his victims have attained hybrid status, the Surgeon General hands them off to the Colonel's soldiers to be ground up and transformed into a temporary cure for the zombie plague. Caring only about his own spreading infection and lust for power above all else, the Surgeon General betrays and murders several of his military allies so as to become a hybrid himself before gleefully trying to devour the brains of his former ally Rhys, cruelly mocking Rhys for his unintentional assistance in the Surgeon General's experiments.
      • The Colonel, lacking the redeeming qualities or Well-Intentioned Extremist traits of the Captain from the first movie, seeks a cure to the virus solely to cure himself. The Colonel sanctions the Surgeon General's deranged experiments, feeding dozens of people to the meat grinder so he can mulch their bodies into temporary cures. When one of his own men realizes the Surgeon General is infected, the Colonel pretends to go along with an execution before murdering his own soldier to ensure his own sickness isn't found out. After forcing Rhys to provide him with victims—including a teenage girl—the Colonel is fed up with Rhys's moral qualms and tortures him, trying to leave him for the zombies which he promises will give Rhys the slowest, most agonizing death possible as he's Devoured by the Horde.
  • Moment of Awesome: Should be "moments" of awesome since every scene with the heroes is just awesome especially since most are outfitted with traditional zombie killing tools.
  • Narm Charm: The doctor who clearly is off his rocker is this. The actor is clearly have a good time and it's clear he's channeling a bit of Richtofen.
