Quotes:
|
-
Rhodes: You want me to salute that pile of walking pus? Salute my ass!
-
Sarah: You're incapable of exciting me Steel except as an anthropological curiosity.
-
Dr. Logan: They are us.
-
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.

Trivia:
|
- 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.
- The original script, for which George A. Romero couldn't get budget for, involved the scientists living over-ground in a fortress protected by electrified fences and the military living safely underground. It also involved a small army of trained zombies, and the conclusion to the trilogy more brutal than the current version.
- 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.
- The book Dr. Logan gives to Bub is Stephen King's Salem's Lot
- 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.
