"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."

"Bud Koffler — Zombie Hunter"

"In an us-versus-them world, someone puts up a flag, another person tears it down and puts up his own. Pretty soon no one remembers what started the war in the first place and the fighting becomes all about those stupid flags."

"There is a Fate Worse Than Death."

"Tom Towles — Harry Cooper"

"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."

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

"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."

"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."

"Last time anyone counted, fifty-three million people were dying every year, a hundred-fifty thousand every day, a hundred and seven every minute, and that was in normal times."

"Greg Funk — Cemetery Zombie"

"Survival isn't just for the living."

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

"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?"

"Alan van Sprang — Sarge "Nicotine" Crockett"

"Kenneth Welsh — Patrick O'Flynn"

"Devon Bostick — Boy"

"Pat Logan — Uncle Rege"

"The idea was to make a film about war or entities that don’t die, conflicts, disagreements that people can’t resolve, whether its Ireland, or the Middle East, or the Senate… that was the idea. And then I decided that was the best way to depict it. And then I had this other idea about an island would be a logical place for people to go, an idea I sort of played with in some of the other films. So I said OK, the best way to tell this story I think is to have a protagonist go to the island only to find out that it’s in the middle of basically a war that won’t die, between these two old guys."

"Peter Cushing — SS Commander"

"You are indeed very stupid. Now it is too late."

"We created the perfect soldier from cheap hoodlums and thugs. And a good number of pathological murderers and sadists as well. We called them Der Todeskorps, the Death Corps. Creatures more horrible than any you can imagine."
