''Land of the Dead'' is the fourth movie in the [[ThematicSeries "Dead" series]] written and directed by George A. Romero.
Set AfterTheEnd (and years after the original ''NightOfTheLivingDead''), {{Pittsburgh}} -- through geographic blessing and a corporate leader's ambitious mobilization -- has remained standing in the post-apocalypse. The rich get to live out their lives much like before, and the less fortunate at least avoid being attacked by the walking dead.
The movie focuses on a group of survivors that go out into zombie infested lands to retrieve supplies (sometimes vital, sometimes not) for a city that can no longer produce anything of any worth. Zombies following on from Romero's ''DayOfTheDead'' have become smarter, aping their old lives remarkably well; led by a zombie known as "Big Daddy", a large group of the living dead attack the city en-masse, leading to the destruction of the civilised world as the very walls that kept the zombies away becomes their prison.
----
This movie contains examples of:
* AWorldHalfFull: Interestingly, humanity and civilization survive in this zombie film.
* BaseOnWheels: A very small-scale example is the Dead Reckoning.
* TheBigGuy: Pillsbury. And how.
* BoomHeadshot: But of course. A notable example isn't even on a zombie - it's on a fleeing midget, in the middle of a crowd, through a stand of bleachers.
* BuryYourGays: Once the Zombies make it to the city, who are the first people we see eaten? A pair of lesbians [[DeathBySex making out.]]
* TheCameo: [[ShaunOfTheDead Simon Pegg and Edgar Wright]] briefly appear as zombies chained to a wall in a photo booth, where the living can have their pictures taken alongside them. Pegg bears a striking resemblance to Bub from ''Day''.
* {{Continuity Cameo}}: Tom Savini reprises his role as the character "Blades" from the original {{Dawn of the Dead}}. Only this time, he's a zombie.
* CorruptCorporateExecutive: Kaufman.
* DeathBySex: With LesYay, no less.
* DeathByMaterialism: [[spoiler: Kaufman, as well as many, many people in the tower.]]
* DeathByRacism: [[spoiler: Kaufman]] repeatedly refers to John Leguizamo's character as a "Spic," which seems unnecessary given that his accepted handle is "Cholo."
* EatTheRich: [[InvokedTrope Invoked]]. George A. Romero's zombie flicks tend to have an underlying social message, and in the case of this film, it concerns how the wealthy poorly treat the lower classes. When the flesh-eating undead hoard siege the Fiddler's Green colony, although both rich and poor die in the onslaught, the more intelligent zombies' main targets are the upper-class establishment. Once they're wiped out the zombies withdraw, and the class system ceases to exist. It's revealed afterward that ''the majority'' of Fiddler's Green other residents have survived the zombie attack.
* EyeScream: One of the soldiers is unfortunate enough to have his right eye BITTEN OUT by the zombie invasion when the fence goes down.
* FingerlessGloves: Worm by several characters throughout the film.
* FriendlySniper: Charlie and his trusty [[WeaponOfChoice M1 Carbine]].
* HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler:Pillsbury]].
** You can make a good case that the zombies are the ''heroes'' of the movie.
* ItCanThink: The zombies are shown to have somehow become sentient enough to form a coherent group and fight against the human survivors.
* LookBehindYou: "Watch Out! Get Down! Quick!" [[spoiler: as Kaufman executes the poor bastard trying to question why Kaufman is running off with all their money.]]
* MeaningfulName: Paul Kaufman. The Kaufmann family is very prominent in {{Pittsburgh}} where the first [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaufmanns Kaufmann's Department Store]] was before expanding into a long running chain and eventually being absorbed by [[http://www.macys.com/index.ognc Macy's]]. The name Kaufman literally means "merchant" in German.
** Also, Fiddler's Green, which is described in myth as an afterlife that has earthly pleasures, but isn't heaven. One poem places it "halfway down the trail to hell."
* MercyKill: Big Daddy performs two: First on a zombie that has been reduced to a severed head (he smashes it), and then on a flaming zombie, who he shoots with a machine gun.
** Riley also does this to Motown, one of Kaufman's officers, shooting her in the head while she's being bitten to spare her either being eaten alive or reviving as a zombie.
* MonsterClown: Randomly shows up when killing Mouse.
* NotUsingTheZWord: Zombies are referred to as "Stenches." The series tradition for this trope is, however, pointedly subverted by Kaufman, who uses the word while picking his nose.
** The photo booth also averts it, having a sign that says, “Get your picture taken with a zombie.”
* PapaWolf: Big Daddy.
* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: The zombie attack on the city is essentially Big Daddy avenging the scavengers killing several zombies at the beginning of the movie.
* ScaryBlackMan: Again Big Daddy. Literally...
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: Kaufman's butler abandons him during the zombie attack.
* StormingTheCastle: The zombies attack on Fiddler's Green.
* TooDumbToLive: Pretty much everybody when outside of Fiddler's Green. You'd think that, years after the zombie invasion, people would have gotten more skilled at fighting them, even if only through sheer selection pressure. People still spray small-caliber rounds in the general direction of zombies that are only stopped by head shots, fail to properly clear out infested buildings, [[LetsSplitUpGang split up the gang]] etc.
** Of particular note is the military guarding the Green. One of whom takes a clip and a half to kill an immobilized zombie. Another is in a guard tower when the zombie invasion occurs. He looks down, and sees his tower is ''completely surrounded'' by a mob of zombies. None of those zombies are even trying to climb up and get him. So what does he do? [[WhatAnIdiot He fastropes down to the ground, and is immediately eaten]].
** In an overlap with Too Greedy To Live, [[spoiler: Kaufman could have gotten away much sooner if he hadn't stopped to fleece the joint on the way out. Especially considering there was little-to-nothing outside of Fiddler's Green that would have made his plundered riches worth anything.]]
* ZombieApocalypse: Other than what's obviously happened from ''NightOfTheLivingDead''.
* ZombieInfectee: One of the Dead Reckoning Scavengers is quick to put a gun to his own head after he gets bitten. Cholo, after getting bitten, asks his subordinate to drive him to Fiddler's Green so he can take some zombie vengeance on Kaufman.
