First I want to say, I am 22 years old. I first saw Return of the Living Dead (1985) when I was about 2 years old. Since then I have seen it hundreds of times, I have the DVD, VHS, and the Workprint version. I know about every line from the film, and it is my favorite film of all time, bar none. ROTLD 2 sucked, part 3 was not too bad, but lacked dark humor and was not as insane as the first film. I have waited since December 2002 for ROTLD 4 and 5 to come out. All that time...waiting. And finally I see it on the sci fi channel. This piece of garbage falls somewhere below the Preperation H commercials (the bad ones). Joe Versus the Volcano is a masterpiece compared to these "movies". First of all...zombies DO NOT die with a shot to the head!!! Second, Zombies DO NOT get into fist fights with morons, They eat your brains out of your skull! Zombies DO NOT have long conversations!!! And You cannot kill a zombie---you have to burn them completely until there is nothing left just like in part 1!!! Some humor is OK, especially black comedy, but these morons kept bantering on about the stupidest things, and the jokes were not even remotely funny. And 245 Trioxin is not a slime!!! Its a liquid or a gas. This flop had no riots with zombies, no real scary music, no real story, oh and by the way the ARMY should be searching for the tanks, not the Russians searching for them! the writers, director, and anyone who contributed to this piece of garbage should hang their heads in shame. We are the REAL fans, we are the ones who cried out for more sequels...and this is what we get?! Next time hire Dan O Bannon...he's a real director! Why would you destroy such a franchise this way? Next time actually watch the original film before you screw the sequels up. I am outraged and saddened, but I tell you I guess they got in right 20 years ago, and I guess you just cant improve on perfection. Return of the Living Dead Part 1 is and always will be a Masterpiece, unfortunately we cannot even come close to saying that for these two "movies", a waste of 4 hours of my life.
