MISTAKES/GOOFS

CHAR: The first Marine to return from the dead tells the Air Force sentry, "At Ease, Soldier." Air Force personnel are properly addressed as "Airmen."
FACT: Philip Murch's tombstone lists his rank as Lance Corporal. When he returns from the dead, he showing wearing an Army uniform. Lance Corporal is strictly a rank in the Marine Corps.
FACT: David's brother was killed shortly after the Vietnam war. That means that his body should have been in a high state of decomposition, but in the closing scene he appeared "fresh".
FACT: 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.
CONT: In the flashback, the handgun David's brother loads and cocks is a Beretta. After young David comes back and gets the gun from the drawer it changes from a Beretta to a Colt.

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 (I)), 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.
