    • Trivia
      According to Brian Yuzna's commentary, Trimark did not require the film to use the same actors or have the same comedic elements as the previous two films but they did require the zombies (including Julie) crave and eat brains.
    • Goofs
      (at around 7 mins) During one of the early observation room scenes, Colonel Reynolds right (on screen left) epaulet clearly bears the rank of colonel, while his left epaulet (on screen right) bears the rank of lieutenant colonel. In the previous scene as well as those immediately following, both epaulets bear the rank of lieutenant colonel.
    • Quotes

      Curt Reynolds: Julie, are you eating him? You should stop it.

    • Alternate versions
      The Trimark/Lionsgate DVD is the heavily censored R-rated version. The uncut, unrated version has since surfaced on the 2016 Vestron Blu-Ray.

    "The pain keeps the hunger away."
    The third movie in the Return of the Living Dead series marks a change in direction from horror comedy to tragic love story. The plot to this one has a teenage boy (J. Trevor Edmond) using the zombie gas from the first two films to bring his dead girlfriend (Melinda 'Mindy' Clarke) back to life, with horrifying results. This is easily the second best in the series, surpassed only by the first. The '90s wasn't a great time for horror fans. Most of what was being made was cheap straight-to-video stuff. I can count on one hand the number of decent horror movies from that time. This movie would make the cut. It has interesting direction from Brian Yuzna, a refreshing story, and a decent cast. Melinda Clarke is especially good. Definitely worth taking a look at if you want something different.
