Trivia:

At the end when the zombie soldiers coming out of their graves the tombstones have the names of veterans of the horror and zombie genre, easy to read are: Jacques Tourneur, G.A. Romero ( George A. Romero), Jean Yarbrough and Delbert Tenney ( 'Del Tenney (I)' ), harder to read are: Lucio Fulci, Victor Halperin and Gordon Douglas. The (readable) graves have this order: Romero and Tenney in the first line, behind them Fulci and Halperin and in the last line behind Fulci is Tourneur, who is in the middle of Douglas and Yarbrough.

Goofs:

Factual errors: When young David shoots his brother there is no recoil of the gun. A small child should have felt the recoil very hard and moved his arm but in that scene the gun didn't move his arm at all thus proving it's not real. The same problem appears in the scene where David shoots Jane.

Good MOH, Good Satire

I'll keep it short and sweet. That way the moronic Repuplicans won't lose interest.

This was a great satire and good MOH episode. I read thru most of the 'hate' reviews and was happy to see the republicans angered. It's just too bad real zombies can't rise from the grave and eat George Bush's brains and rid us of this horrible, pathetic excuse for a president. I guess the amount of the meal simply wouldn't be worth crawling out of the crypt.

Good job Joe! Good job MOH!

Keep up the good work Showtime! Thanks to the following: Michael Moore Alec Baldwin Tim Robbins George Clooney
