Line 11:
* [[A World Half Full]]: Interestingly, humanity and civilization survive in this zombie film.
* [[Bait and Switch Gunshot]]: Charlie pulls this against a zombie.
* [[Base
* [[Big Bad Ensemble]]: Kaufman and Big Daddy.
* [[Big Damn Heroes]]: Riley and his crew pull one off at the end.
* [[The Big Guy]]: Pillsbury. And how.
* [[Boom! Headshot!]]: But of course. A notable example isn't even on a zombie - it's on a fleeing midget, in the middle of a crowd, through a stand of bleachers.
* [[Bury Your Gays]]: Once the Zombies make it to the city, who are the first people we see eaten? A pair of lesbians [[Death
* [[The Cameo]]: [[Shaun of the Dead|Simon Pegg and Edgar Wright]] briefly appear as zombies chained to a wall in a photo booth, where the living can have their pictures taken alongside them. Pegg bears a striking resemblance to Bub from ''Day''.

* [[Death From Above]]: After Kaufman refuses Cholo entry into the more affluent areas of Fiddler's Green, the latter steals the Dead Reckoning and threatens to lob rockets at the town unless Kaufman gives him a lot of money. Kaufman instead sends Riley and some others to either talk him out of it, or kill him.
* [[Eat the Rich]]: [[Invoked Trope|Invoked]]. George A. Romero's zombie flicks tend to have an underlying social message, and in the case of this film, it concerns how the wealthy poorly treat the lower classes. When the flesh-eating undead horde besiege the Fiddler's Green colony, although both rich and poor die in the onslaught, the more intelligent zombies' main targets are the upper-class establishment. Once they're wiped out the zombies withdraw, and the class system ceases to exist. It's revealed afterward that ''the majority'' of Fiddler's Green's other residents have survived the zombie attack.
Line 32:
* [[Heel Face Turn]]: {{spoiler|Pillsbury}}.
** You can make a good case that the zombies are the ''heroes'' of the movie.
* [[Hoist
* [[It Can Think]]: The zombies are shown to have somehow become sentient enough to form a coherent group and fight against the human survivors.
* [[Look Behind You!]]: "Watch Out! Get Down! Quick!" {{spoiler|as Kaufman executes the poor bastard trying to question why Kaufman is running off with all their money.}}
