Trivia
In the original script, the skull which flies out of the freezer was not included - it was added by Lucio Fulci. He later remarked that he felt it was one of the most clever things he had come up with, and was the only thing about the movie he was truly proud of.

Goofs
When the group arrive outside the abandoned military hospital, a crew member is visible to the left behind a house turning on a smoke machine.

Quotes
Glenn: I'm feeling better, Patricia, but I'm thirsty... for your blood!

Crazy credits
The opening credits appear over footage of three separate groups of characters travelling to the same destination (the helipad outside the chemical plant). All three groups converge once the credits end.

Alternate versions
In the UK release (entitled Zombie Flesh Eaters 2), the actor Mike Monty (who plays General Morton), appears in the opening cast list, but in the end list don't. In the Italian version the actor is completely uncredited.

Garbage, but watchable garbage

Zombi 3 is a sequel in name only to Fulci's classic Zombie. In Italy, Zombie was billed as a unofficial sequel to Dawn Of The Dead and was called Zombi 2 in that territory. Zombie has nothing to do with Dawn Of The Dead and was approached completely differently, but is also a classic. Zombi 3 has little in common with it's predecessor and has a different story that rips off Dawn Of The Dead and Return Of The Living Dead. Zombi 3 is not Lucio Fulci's best work, far from it and the production had a lot of problems. Fulci himself disowned the film and left the production in the middle of it due to health problems and disagreements with the producers. With the combination of a extremely low budget and it's creators not really agreeing on which direction to take the project, what is left is the result. The tone of the film does not feel like a Fulci film and falls flat on terror and atmosphere. The character development is weak and the movie as a whole looks and feels cheap. However, this is far from unwatchable and moves along at a quick pace with a good amount of action and gore. I can't regard Zombi 3 as a good film, it's crap But if ultra cheapie schlocky horror is your bag, you might find some enjoyment out of Zombi 3.
