Darker and Edgier: This film is not only much more serious than the more light-hearted, comedic second film but also drops the Black Comedy the original had, replacing it with tragedy. | |

Fingore: In the beginning, a lab tech's fingers are torn off by a zombie. About 2/3 of the way through the film, Julie rams a glass shard through her hand. She ends up driving several metal spikes (where is she GETTING all this sharp metal?) through her fingertips in order to have really awkward claws. | |

Hostile Weather | |
| Return of the Living Dead 3 / int_2ddddebf | comment |
In the previous two installments, it was implied that that the Trioxin chemical, through acid rain or pure gas form, was the real factor in creating the zombies in the first place, hence why none of the zombie-bitten victims are ever shown reanimating without the presence of the Trioxin gas/rain. However, this movie blatantly shows multiple Trioxin zombies spreading the infection through bites. | |

Came Back Wrong | |
| Return of the Living Dead 3 / int_b983a56b | comment |
The explanation for why the Trioxin eat brains is slightly altered. The original states that the zombies aren't hungry; rather, they eat brains to ease the pain of being dead. Here, Julie gets hunger pangs after returning undead, which results in her piercing herself to ignore the hunger through pain. That said, Julie isn't a rotting corpse yet, so there is at least some justification for why she has a different reason for eating brains. | |

Fan Disservice: Julie is topless for the last portion of the film. But as she continues to zombify, she proceeds to cut rather deep into her body with broken shards of glass, ends up getting covered in blood, and inserts rusty old nails into several parts of her body. Not to mention the fact that she also kills a few people along the way. Although she is still fairly attractive. | |

Horror Hunger | |
| Return of the Living Dead 3 / int_cf7b362 | comment |
Horror Hunger: The hero's (undead) girlfriend develops painful hunger pangs, but none of the snacks that he procures for her will sate her appetite. Her zombie cravings cause her to mutilate herself in order to drown out the hunger... but she feels much better after she munches on a couple of street toughs. As the film goes on, even mutilating herself starts to fail to stave off the hunger. It gets so bad that at one point, she even attacks Curt. | |
