Zombi 3: Difference between revisions

* [[Bolivian Army Ending]]: {{spoiler|GI Ken and Patricia flee the island as GI Roger is gunned down. As Blue Heart dedicates the next song to "all the undead around the world", Patricia worries that there may be nothing to return to. Ken assures her that they're not just going back down there to fight the zombies, they're going back down there to win.}}

* [[Cassandra Truth]]: The military doesn't seem to listen to Dr. Holder and his assistant when they warn them that burning the Death One victim that contaminated the hotel could have serious consequences for the island's air quality and its population.

'''General Morton''': That's ridiculous, pure [[Science Fiction]]! }}

* [[Catch Phrase]]: "Now you're talking [[Science Fiction]]." Spoken [[Rule of Three|three times]], sometimes with a variation, by General Morton. Each time it's spoken when the scientists let him know that burning the nutjob wasn't a very bright idea due to environmental concerns.

* [[Karma Houdini]]: {{spoiler|General Morton}}. Also an [[Idiot Houdini]].

* [[Kill It with Fire]]: The military takes this approach toward the zombies, as seen early on when a corpse infected with Death One is burned and in a later scene where the military throws dead zombies onto a massive funeral pyre. Zombies are also incinerated here and there by the main characters in creative ways, be it with gasoline or a flamethrower. Knowing the effects heat has on Death One (i.e. it mutates the virus into an oxygen-resistant killer), Dr. Holder is completely adverse to this method of corpse disposal:

* [[Kirk Summation]]: Dr. Holder delivers one to General Morton shortly before the climax. At first, he sounds perfectly calm, but as the summation goes on, his [[Large Ham]] side starts to show itself, culminating in a declaration that he doesn't wish to be remembered as the unwitting architect of armageddon:

* [[Large Ham]]: Several of the characters, but Dr. Holder takes the cake, particularly when General Morton says or does something that greatly upsets him. From the German trailer:

'''Dr. Holder''': Cut it off!? ''How?'' By continuing to kill ''thousands of innocent victims!?'' }}

** [[Large Ham Radio]]: "I'll dedicate my next number to all the undead around the world." Indeed, Blue Heart is like this when he's not being serious.

* [[Noble Demon]]: General Morton.

** {{spoiler|[[The Bad Guy Wins|The Noble Demon Wins]]: General Morton boasts to the scientists in his final scene that they've got the zombie problem under control without having to resort to science.}}

* [[No Export for You]]: The prologue has only been seen in a few countries, including Japan and the United States.

* [[Painting the Fourth Wall]]: Here's an incomplete list of ways the 3D is used effectively:

* [[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:

* [[Well-Intentioned Extremist]]: General Morton intends to stop the zombies; he just doesn't know how to do so in a moral manner.

* [[Woman in White]]: Dr. Holder's assistant wears a completely white [[Palette Swap]] of Dr. Holder's outfit.
