Quotes:

-
John: I got an alternative, yeah, yeah, I got an alternative. Let's get in that old whirly-bird, find us an island some place, get juiced up and spend what time we got left soakin' up some sunshine! How's that?
Sarah: You could do that, couldn't you? With all thats going on, you could just do that without a second thought?
John: Shit, I could do that even if all this *wasn't* going on!
-
John: I'll set us down. But I'll keep my seat and I'll keep the engine running. Now the first sign of trouble, I'm going up. You ain't on board when that happens, you're liable to have a lousy afternoon.
-
Sarah: Maybe if we tried working together we could ease some of the tensions. We're all pulling in different directions.
John: That's the trouble with the world, Sarah darlin'. People got different ideas concernin' what they want out of life.
-
Sarah: You're incapable of exciting me Steel except as an anthropological curiosity.
-
Rhodes: You want me to salute that pile of walking pus? Salute my ass!

Trivia:
|
- The book Dr. Logan gives to Bub is Stephen King's Salem's Lot
- Director George A. Romero makes a cameo as a zombie pushing a cart in the foreground during the final zombie feast, seen from the waist down and identified by his trademark plaid scarf wrapped around his waist.
- George A. Romero had originally planned for all the zombies to perish in a massive explosion when they stumbled across explosive chemicals in the laboratory. Meanwhile, one of the crew members who had died during the attack was to have stayed dead and not come back as a zombie, thereby giving hope to the survivors.
- All the extras who portrayed zombies in the climax received for their services: a cap that said "I Played A Zombie In 'Day of the Dead'", a copy of the newspaper from the beginning of the film (the one that says THE DEAD WALK), and one dollar.
- During a holiday break in filming, makeup artist Gregory Nicotero used the realistic and gruesome model of his own head (as seen in a laboratory scene in the film) to play a practical joke on his mother.
