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

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.

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.
