| The movie starts with a gas canister that falls off of an army truck and lands in the river. The next day, young Jesse joins a club owned by the two bullies, Billy and Johnny. They show him the "clubhouse," which is actually the crypt at an old cemetery. Jesse is afraid and runs away, but the bullies find him and the missing canister. When they see the corpse inside they run away in fear.
But Billy and Johnny later return to take a closer look on the canister. Ignoring Jesse's earlier warnings, they accidentally release the toxic gas inside and the dangerous fumes hit the cemetery with horrendous results. And what was once dead and buried is not going to stay that way any longer. The corpses crawl out of their graves, hungry for BRAAAIINNSSS!!!!!
Billy tries to warn his sister and the cable installer Tom, but of course they don't believe him. They quickly realize that he's right when the zombies try to break into their home. Together with the grave robbers Ed, Joey, and Brenda and the local doctor Mandel, they manage to escape the zombies, but only temporarily. The undead are all over the town, and it's up to the remaining survivors to find out how to destroy these constantly hungry zombies, which is easier said than done.
The zombies don't seem to die, no matter how much damage they cause to them, and escape is impossible, since all the roads out have been sealed off by the military. Finally, Tom finds out how to kill the zombies, but they're running out of time and must destroy these ghastly creatures before it's too late.
"Return of the Living Dead Part II" is a great movie with excellent elements of both comedy and horror. It has a lot of references to the previous film. Bringing back James Karen and Thom Matthews in new roles is one of the many brilliant things in the film that relates to the famous original. Good zombie performances and definitely one of the funniest zombie movies ever. If you've got a good sense of humor and like horror movies, you'll probably enjoy this film as much as I did.

ROTLD2 is one that I never much cared for. It seemed like it was "ROTLD...for kids!". I haven't seen it in many years but I might give it another try.

Don't bother, it'll only disappoint once again.
There are two good points to the movie. One, they brought back Frank and Freddy. Okay, their roles are different and the chemistry isn't as solid as the first, but they're there. (I correctly used all three their/there/they're in that sentence. Woohoo!) Second, there is a short scene with a girl exercising in a leotard. That's one thing I miss about the '80s, the leotards. That's it, those are the only two good points.
Of course, the second is still a damn sight better than the fourth (and I would presume the fifth).

I thought this was the funnest out of the 3. I say 3 because the sci-fi channels sequals screw up the cannon and they should be executed while watching Alien Apocalypse.

The rating for RotLD II IS pretty surprising. This really could have gotten a PG-13 if the studio had toned down the gore and violence a bit. However, this is one I'd actually feel comfortable showing my younger bro, BECAUSE it has so little nudity or whatever.
I think I enjoyed this one about as much as the other one. The idea that zombie parts can continue to function even after being severed is awesome, even if there's no logic to it. I enjoyed watching these even more than Romero's work, since these moved at a faster rate and didn't have people just sitting around trying to make a statement and what not.
We can agree that RotLD I and RotLD II are much better than RotLD III, right?
