Trivia
Although 'Zombi 2' was made to cash-in on 'Zombi''s (aka Dawn of the Dead (1978)) success, script writer Dardano Sacchetti based his script to 'Zombi 2' on I Walked with a Zombie (1943), Voodoo Island (1957) and The Walking Dead (1936), stating that he wanted to bring the zombie genre back to its Caribbean and Voodoo roots.

During the shark vs. zombie fight, the zombie gets his arm bitten off. However, we see him with the arm after he loses it, and without the arm before it is bitten off. See more »Alternate Versions

Surely the best film Fulci has ever directed, involving several zombies on a Caribbean island. As with all Fulci films, the movie suffers from rather bad dubbing, but all Fulci films seem to have this problem, so it`s almost a hallmark for the director. The gore is graphic & over-the-top, but when you`ve seen a zombie deep in the ocean fighting with a shark, nothing is over the top. A few memorable scenes, (the eye scene has to be the highlight) but this is movie is all about escapism. If you can handle the explicit gore (and if you`re watching Fulci, you better had!) this is a definite `lads night in movie`. Just don`t try to find too many subtexts in it`s, ahem, plot. (7 out of 10)
