Night of the Living Dead (1990 film)

"You're boss down there. I'm boss up here."

"You know what, Cooper, I've only been around you a minute or two, but that's enough time for me to decide that I don't like you very much."

"Cooper, I've got a shotgun out here! Open this door, you motherfucker, or I swear to God I'll blow it to shit!"

"This is something no one's ever heard about, and no one's ever seen before. This is hell on earth."

"[on the zombies approaching the house] They're so slow. We could just walk right past 'em and we wouldn't even have to run. We could just walk right past 'em. We have the guns. If we're careful we could get away. [she looks at Ben] You told me to fight, well I'm fighting, this place is not safe, not upstairs or down. We should leave before it's too late."

"Newscaster: [on TV] The scientific community is focusing on the phenomenon, specifically on that trance like state that seems to characterize the assailants. Clearly a behavioral disorder, but what could've caused so widespread and dramatic condition as the one we're facing tonight. We've heard speculation, on everything from the Ozone layer and chemical weapons, to uh... [laughs softly] voodoo mysticism and organisms from space. A biologist in Stockton, California, have released reports, stating the uh... [puts glasses on] bodies, of the recently dead, are returning to life. Driven by an unknown force which enables the brain to continue to function. Doctors at the Center for Disease Control in Atlanta, reject that theory, calling it preposterous beyond belief. They feel that the only reasonable explanation is a germ, that has a mind altering effect on its victims. Though how such a germ could've been spread so quickly and across such a vast area, does remain a mystery. It's being called "Judgement Day" by religious leaders."

"Hondo: [after almost killing Barbara thinking she is a zombie] Jesus god-damn holy-lovin' shit! What in the name of Jupiter's balls are you doin' out here alone, little lady?"

"There is a Fate Worse Than Death."

"The movie is about forty percent of what I intended. It would be a much better movie if I had got to put in all the stuff I really wanted to do. Then the MPAA hit us hard. You know with my name on it and George Romero they were waiting for us. And they made us cut some more stuff so it's kind of a sterile film with mine and George's name on it and that's not what the fans expected."
