Trivia
More coming soon...
 * Captain Rhodes' death is one of the most graphic and goriest ever put on film.
 * Rhodes' actor, Joe Pilato, had previously appeared in George A. Romero's Dawn of the Dead in 1978, where he played an police officer at the docks. A popular theory is that the police officer is in fact a younger version of Captain Rhodes before he was in the military, however this hasn't been confirmed by either Romero or Pilato, and since both of them have now passed away, it seems unlikely there'll ever be an answer.
 * Captain Rhodes was placed at #4 on Cinemassacre's Top Ten Baddest Bad Guys. The creator of Cinemassacre, James Rolfe aka the Angry Video Game Nerd, would later review Day of the Dead as part of Cinemassacre's Monster Madness. He stated that Joe Pilato's performance was "a large part of why this film is so awesome" and labelled him as "one of the best villains of the 80's."
 * Captain Rhodes is often regarded as the best human villain in any zombie film, due to his intimidatiing nature and cold attitude.
