Return of the Living Dead 2
“Curious kids open a barrel of green gas linked to a mysterious military experiment, and soon a tenebrous green cloud of fog is making its way through the creepy town cemetery. Knowing exactly where this is headed is, of course, part of the fun in this tongue-in-cheek zombie sequel. Maybe it’s not as fresh as its successful predecessor, but all of the key zombie ingredients are still well preserved in this second installment: ravenous “undead” in search of human brains, severed limbs with a life of their own, and lots and lots of shrieking! Taking a hackneyed premise that is a close retelling of part I, director Ken Wiederhorn (Freddy’s Nightmares, Shock Waves) rejuvenates the genre with sporadic genuine scares, lots of plain old silliness, and some literally eye-popping special effects. Followed up a few years later with the equally enjoyable Return of the Living Dead Part III, this is a fun franchise that reminds you of what ’80s horror was all about: bad synth music, and perms.”

I loved ALL of the ROTLD movies,but something bothered me about part 2……
The two main characters BOTH became zombies In part 1,not to mention the older one (pathmark guy) got into an incinerator and burned himself alive after becoming a zombie. So how the heck are they both In part 3 AND human again?!?
The ROTLD franchise is a bit… strange. The first one is a direct NOTLD sequel (without permission) but 2 and on were just a slippery slope of enjoyment and madness mixed together!
Ahhh!
Thank you for clearing that up.
I’ve been wondering this for many years now and no one ever gave me any good answers 😀
It’s why the events in NOTLD were so eerily referenced in ROTLD. They wanted it to be a direct sequel (with a punk theme) and not just a tribute. So it’s in the ‘same universe’ so to speak.
