To clarify, a reanimated half dog is beaten with a crutch, but not to death. They DO burn it all up later though.

not technically brutalized, the character chooses to go naked for a significant part of the movie, and is... (SPOILER)
...reanimated as a zombie without clothes on, but none of it is for an inherently sexual or misogynist reason, shes just kind of freaky

Define "excessive." I say no. LOTS of gore, heavens yes... but is any of it excessive for a zombie movie from the '80s? Any of it go too far for a film called Return of the Living Dead? No sir.

Ernie breaks his foot when something gets dropped on it. You can also hear cracking when two characters start getting rigor mortis and they try to move their limbs.

He's ill from 16:24-16:35, but you only see his back. The noises are pretty gross though. Again at 41:24-41:40, gross noises but no throw up is shown.
