{{tropelist}}
* [[A Date With Rosie Palms]]: The single female in the group of Guard refugees shamelessly masturbates in front of her fellows. ▼
** Because she is, as said in the movie, [[Sorry I'm Gay|"Um"]], and isn't interested in offers from the team's men. ▼
* [[All Girls Like Ponies]]: Jane, {{spoiler|even as a zombie! She really likes the taste, too.}}
* [[
* [[Boom! Headshot!]]: Zombie movie, so of course. Props to a point-blank rifle shot that obliterates an entire head down to the lower jaw.
* [[Bury Your Gays]]: {{spoiler|Subverted. The sole gay character survives 'til the end. She might have been written in to try and make up for the [[Unfortunate Implications]] of a brief scene in [[Land of the Dead]].}}
* [[Chekhov's Gun]]: Crockett's grenade, O'Flynn's Derringer.
Line 16 ⟶ 12:
* [[Continuity Nod]]: The troopers whose story this is are the ones who stuck up the bloggers in ''[[Diary of the Dead]]''.
* [[Crowning Moment of Funny]]: Crockett lighting up a cigarette using the burning head of a zombie he shot with a flare gun as his lighter.
▲* [[A Date
▲** Because she is, as said in the movie, [[Sorry, I'm Gay|"Um"]], and isn't interested in offers from the team's men.
* [[Fan Service]]: [[Your Mileage May Vary]], but Tomboy masturbating out in the open. Could be [[Fetish Fuel]] too.
* [[Feuding Families]]: The O'Flynns and the Muldoons. The subject of how to deal with the zombies is just latest round. When O'Flynn makes a half-assed attempt to bury the hatchet, Muldoon shoots him in the back. O'Flynn shoots him in retaliation and the feud even survives undeath.
* [[Gorn]]: Oh yeah, big time. Special commendations to a fire extinguisher blowing up a zombie's head, a flare gun lighting a zombie's head on fire, a zombie ripping some dude's scalp off. Oh, and the {{spoiler|poor horse being devoured. Ugh.}}
* [[Gratuitous Spanish]]: Cisco, practically every other line.
* [[Have I Mentioned I Am Gay?]]: Tomboy
* [[Hey,
* [[High Octane Nightmare Fuel]]: [[Your Mileage May Vary]], but zombies residing at the bottom of a lake, clawing at any human that dares swim by, is pretty damn scary, especially if you can't swim. [[Fridge Horror]] [[Incredibly Lame Pun|sinks]] in if you think about how this could apply to any body of water that had people around it at the time of the [[Zombie Apocalypse]], and is deep enough for them to stay in.
** Also, "alive" zombie heads on pikes, still moaning.
* [[Horror Hunger]]: Subverted, as {{spoiler|Seamus Muldoon aims to stem the zombies from eating humans, and have them move onto other sources of food...and it works, but not before it's too late.}}
* [[
* [[I Cannot Self-Terminate]]: {{spoiler|The soon-to-be zombie Cisco, for the hope he does not end up in hell. He asks Tomboy to do the deed, and she complies.}}
* [[Latin Lover]]: Cisco seems to consider himself one.
* [[Narm Charm]]: The fact that Crockett looks a great deal like [[Billy Mays]] makes the film ''far'' more amusing.
Line 31 ⟶ 30:
* [[Oral Fixation Fixation]]: Sgt. "Nicotine" Crockett and his cigarettes.
* [[POV Sequel]]: to [[Diary of the Dead]].
* [[Screw This, I'm Outta Here]]: Crockett and his merry band of National Guard deserters, ditching their outpost and striking out on their own in the [[Zombie Apocalypse]].
* [[Taking the Bullet]]: {{spoiler|Crockett for the Kenny, despite the former claiming he'd never do such a thing earlier in the film. Minor inversion as both get hit, and the latter dies.}}
* [[The Unfavourite]]: Janet {{spoiler|thinks she is but her father says she's not}}.
* [[Theme Twin Naming]]: {{spoiler|Janet and Jane.}}▼
* [[Too Dumb to Live]]: {{spoiler|Janet, trying to connect to her zombified twin sister at hand-biting range. She gets bitten for her troubles.}}
* [[Undead Child]]: At the start of the film.
▲* [[Theme Twin Naming]]: {{spoiler|Janet and Jane.}}
* [[Zombie Advocate]]: The Muldoons believe that zombism is a disease that can be cured, or at least that the walking dead can be "re-educated" not to feed on human flesh.
* [[Zombie Apocalypse]]: Naturally. And with all [[Tropes of the Living Dead|appropriate sub-tropes]]:
** [[Kill It
** [[Not Using the Zed Word]]: Played straight as the slang "deadheads" becomes popular, but also subverted as people do use the word "zombie."
** [[Zombie Gait]]: The slow kind.
