 * Phil, for all his dorkiness can be quite the Jerkass in the remake.

 * What Could Have Been:
 * Traumatic C-Section: During the making of the original movie, a pregnant extra suggested her character should be shown having her baby ripped out by the zombies. Romero and SFX guru Tom Savini gave a resounding "No. Just... No" Reaction.
