Who are your favourite characters from this film? My Top 5:

1. John
2. William McDermott (or as I call him - "Billy the Boozer")
3. Bub
4. Doctor "Frankenstein" Logan
5. Captain Rhodes

I agree John and McD were the best two IMO. I didn't like any of the other characters. The lady was super annoying. The scientist was mad. The captain was a dick. And Miguel is a piece of useless garbage.

I always thought those two were probably the sanest characters in the film. As for the Captain being a dick... if you watch the film from HIS perspective, then you can see why he acts that way. But you're right - a dick is a dick. :)

She brought nothing to the table. Got everyone else in trouble. Her unexplainable attraction to useless Miguel brought everyone to their demise.

All of them, to be honest.

No one in their right mind would ride on a buggy driven by Klaus Kinski.

I loved Sarah.... well the only female character I've liked from romero's old trilogy. I agree with a preview poster about Sarah wanted to do something for the human race, and not only leaving the rest to treir luck, one admirable character.
And 2nd Dr. Fisher, with the few scene he had.

McDermott is my favorite. He is awesome.

McDermott. He reminded me a little of Roger, my favorite character from "Dawn"

Logan was fun. Psycho but fun. Same with Rhodes. And it was impossible not to like John and Fisher.

I love to love my Lisa.

1.) John/Bub- They're tied, I love them both so much.
2.) Sarah
3.) Doctor Logan
4.) Captain Rhodes- Yeah, he was a jerk, but he was a great villain, and had some of the best lines.

Let the storm rage on, the cold never bothered me anyway...

McDermott and John, easily.

Initially I hated Sarah when I first watched it 20 years ago, but now I think she's a good character, deeper than she's given credit for.

Never be complete.
