Line 24:
* [[Death By Racism]]: {{spoiler|Kaufman}} repeatedly refers to John Leguizamo's character as a "Spic," which seems unnecessary given that his accepted handle is "Cholo."
* [[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
* [[Eye Scream]]: One of the soldiers is unfortunate enough to have his right eye
* [[Face Revealing Turn]]: Not exactly, but the spirit of it is kept. Late in the movie, {{spoiler|an infected Cholo heads back to the city so he can kill Kaufman before he turns. When the two encounter each other, Cholo's face is hidden by shadows. After Kaufman shoots him a few times, Cholo finally steps into the light, and reveals that he's already turned into a zombie.}}
* Fanservice: Slack's introduction.
Line 50:
* [[Too Dumb to Live]]: Pretty much everybody when outside of Fiddler's Green. You'd think that, years after the zombie invasion, people would have gotten more skilled at fighting them, even if only through sheer selection pressure. People still spray small-caliber rounds in the general direction of zombies that are only stopped by head shots, fail to properly clear out infested buildings, [[Let's Split Up Gang|split up the gang]] etc.
** Of particular note is the military guarding the Green. One of whom takes a clip and a half to kill an immobilized zombie. Another is in a guard tower when the zombie invasion occurs. He looks down, and sees his tower is ''completely surrounded'' by a mob of zombies. None of those zombies are even trying to climb up and get him. So what does he do? [[What an Idiot!|He fastropes down to the ground, and is immediately eaten]].
** In an overlap with Too Greedy To Live,
* [[Zombie Apocalypse]]: Other than what's obviously happened from ''[[Night of the Living Dead]]''.
* [[Zombie Infectee]]: One of the Dead Reckoning Scavengers is quick to put a gun to his own head after he gets bitten. {{spoiler|Cholo, after getting bitten, asks his subordinate to drive him to Fiddler's Green so he can take some zombie vengeance on Kaufman.}}
