'''''[[Zombi 3D'''3]]'' is a 1988 film and the sequel to [[Lucio Fulci]]'s ''[[Zombi 2]]''. The film was directed by Fulci with the assistance of schlockmeisters [[Bruno Mattei]] and [[Claudio Fragasso]].
 
Dr. Holder, a scientist stationed in the Philippines, is working on a virus called Death One with the hopes of bringing the dead back to life. Little does he know, the virus does more than that: it ''[[Gone Horribly Right|kills the living]]'' in addition to reanimating the dead. [[My God, What Have I Done?|Horrified at how his work could have such killing potential]], he volunteers to turn in his resignation and turn in what samples he has left.
Line 10:
Meanwhile, a trio of GIs and a group of tourists unite against the ever-growing threat of the living dead...

=== This film contains examples of: ===
* [[3D Movie]]
* [[Affably Evil]]: General Morton, though in his case he's more Affably ''Antagonistic'', though he has his moments of stress and urgency, particularly when he and Dr. Holder butt heads as the zombie problem escalates. He's noticeably calm as Dr. Holder finishes [[Chewing the Scenery]] at the climax of a [[Kirk Summation]].
Line 49:
* [[Third Is 3D]]: Technically; as ''Zombi 2'' is basically a fanmade sequel to ''[[Dawn of the Dead (film)|Dawn of the Dead]]'', this film should count, as it was originally filmed in 3D.
** It was only released this way in Italy. Poor box office there led the international release to be shown flat (and cropped to 1.85:1 from the original scope aspect ratio). Depending on who you believe, it's also possible that either only Fulci's scenes or portions thereof were filmed in 3D.
* [[Those Two Guys]]: Tracey (played by [[Bruno Mattei]]) and Cheney (played by [[Claudio Fragasso]]).
* [[Throw It In]]: [[Lucio Fulci]] himself ordered an unscripted scene shot featuring the zombie head in the freezer; no wonder, since [[Word of God|that's the only scene of the film he ever admitted to liking]].
* [[Too Dumb to Live]]: General Morton and [[Those Two Guys]] burn a corpse tainted with a virus that could be let loose in the process, and the soldiers (particularly [[Genre Blind|General Morton]]) never bothered to listen to a scientist's warnings. This turns out to be the [[Inciting Incident]] of the film as the ashes infect the air and a flock of birds catch it, accosting a bus some time later.
* [[Villainy Discretion Shot]]: The anti-contamination squad following General Morton's orders after discovering the nutjob's rotten corpse:
