Trivia:

Several characters were named for various famous people: Pvt. Connery and Pvt. Lazenby, the two soldiers in the truck transporting one of the infected, were named after Sean Connery and George Lazenby, who both played James Bond ("The best James Bond" was the topic of conversation between the two). Officer Raimi is named for Sam Raimi, director of the "Evil Dead" series of movies. Officer Campbell is named for Bruce Campbell, star of the "Evil Dead" series. Additionally, the character Armin Shimerman, plays is named Coroner Flutie. Previously, Shimerman had a recurring role on "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" as Principal Snyder. The character he replaced on that show (after he was murdered by students) was Principal Flutie.

Goofs:

Revealing mistakes: When the zombie Dr. Boyce bites the fingers of Dr. Langdon, she pulls her mouth away from his hand, stretching the obviously-rubber fingers.

Quotes:

Holly:Dead or alive, men are all the same.

Movie Connections:

References Phantasm (1979)

Humor, nipples (mens and womens), and flesh eating Zombies!!!

This movie was about average for the Sci-Fi channel. Dean Cain added some humor.Not wanting to give away the plot let's just say this is the standard comedy with zombiesque "movie of the week" qualities.Mad scientist, Army men(Douglas Tait,) hot babes(Susan Ward,) One black Eddie Murphy type character(Guy Torry,)etc. Even though the formula was stale "Dead and Deader" is better than some of SF-C's movies. The female breast on the one corpse shocked me because it slipped past the sensors. So guys slow the Tivo when you see the metal examination tables. The effects were better than usual also because they didn't over use the CGI. Better stories are needed for us hard core fans.
