[EvilDeadGirl]

My three favs......

Roger from Dawn is my favorite character! He goes from being a hardass to being one of the undead. All around likeable character IMO.

Peter from Dawn is another great character. Very likeable and keeps his kool.

Barbara from NOTLD 90 is pretty nifty. She's a tough chick who starts out as a little puss and then grows a pair. She rawks!

[Frank the Tank]

Well, if the remakes count than also Ben and Barbara from NOTLD 90.

as well

as CJ, Kenneth, Andy and Steve from the Dawn of The Dead remake.

[TheDeadWalk]

I liked Harry Cooper in the 'Night's.

[syxxpac]

Going by just the original 3 only:

1) Ben from Night
2) Rhodes from Day
3) Peter from Dawn
4) Roger from Dawn
5) Francine from Dawn

As for the other semi-Romero zombie films:

1) Kenneth, C.J., Michael & Ana from Dawn '04
2) Barbara & Ben from Night '90

[the dead one]

Ben Night 68
Ben Night 90
Tom Night 68
Harry Cooper 68 & 90
Barbara Night 90
Peter Dawn
Fran Dawn
Roger Dawn
Stephen Dawn
John Day
Sara Day
Bub Day

Steel Day

[IamNoOne666]

1. Ben (68)
2. Peter Dawn
3. Roger (Dawn)
4. Steve (Dawn)
5. Fran (Dawn)
6. Bub (Day)
7. Rhodes (Day)
8. Cooper (68 Night)
9. Barbara (Night)
the rest are good but I can't put them in order.

[dellamorte dellamore]

It looks like the characters from Dawn are the ones getting the most love , but i'm glad some people are giving notices to Ben and Barbara ( Tony Todd , Patricia Tallman ) , those are two of the best perfs in a horror film ever .

I'm curious to see who's everyone's definitive favorite out of the four films , maybe we can take another poll to determine that .

Guess you already know which mine is , Barbara from Night 90 , with Ben from the same film a close second .

[Nightmare_Dreaming]

Rhodes and Steel from Day of the Dead.:cool:

[dellamorte dellamore]

Without Mr Cooper , there would have been no contrast to Ben's persona and actions , he was one of the most important characters in both Night films , and he turned out to have some good ideas in the end , after all look where Ben ended up , although in Night 90 it was mainly because of Cooper's actions .

[killuminati003]

Ben from the original Night

[Countess]

Ben from NOTLD ('68/'90)
Peter, Roger, Steve, Fran from Dawn
Captain Rhodes, John, Sara, Bub, Dr. Logan, Steele from Day
Ana, Michael, Andy, Kenneth from Dawn (2004)

[syxxpac]

I forgot to mention McDermott from Day, the sarcastic old Irishman who drinks all the time and looks uncannily like Rowan Atkinson.

Gotta love the guy.

[Kidsilk]

Definitely Ben. He's a great character.

[pyscho dude]

Rhodes. Didn't take shit from anyone and had some of the best lines in the entire trilogy.

[skweemkween]

Definitive:

Sarah - Day of the Dead
Ben - Night of the Living Dead remake.

[Mr. Fred Krueger]

Rhodes from Day.

[Shockwave]

Ben and Bub steal the show in each Dead movie. I really dug the re-vamped Barbra in NOTLD remake also.

[Tagia_Romero]

Bub
Frannie
Ben

[Jackass80]

Without a doubt, Peter from Dawn. Runner up: Frannie.

[Kls]

Sheriff McClelland!!

[Mr-Blonde]

Definitely the Hare Krishna zombie from Dawn! He rules. Bub would be a close second though.

In the living category it'd have to be Peter from Dawn and Ben from Night for sure. I love a big bad brotha who takes charge! I thought the remake of Dawn could have been better if only they had let Ving shine more! Sarah Polley sucked in that movie.

Captain Rhodes from Day is probably the coolest mo-fo to ever be in a zombie film!

[halloweengal]

peter from dawn
ben from night
bub from day

[eiker_ir]

my favorites are:

Barbara from Night 90 (hot and kickass)

Roger from Dawn(cool guy)

Rhodes and Bub owned Day

[TheRecluse]

Bub from Day
Peter from Dawn
Roger from Dawn
The gun toting zombie from Dawn.
(Everytime I saw that guy in the background I couldn't help but laugh. Wasn't he also the weapons coordinator?)

[EVILxxx]

Peter is probably my favorite actor in the whole trilogy. i met ken Foree not too long ago, and he is an awesome dude. We joked about the part where Steven swings the mini-sledgehammer, at the zombie and falls like an idiot.

[JurassicMik]

1. Peter
2. Roger
3. Flyboy
4. Ben from notld 90
5. Fran
6. Rhodes
7. Sarah
8. That Irish guy from Day of the Dead
9 CJ from the Dawn remake
10. Ben in the original NOTLD

[Gian-Sergio]

Slack from Land of the Dead
Bub from Day of the Dead
Blades from Dawn of the Dead
The Cementary Zombie from Night Of The Living Dead

[Rokyracoon68]

all 4 main characters from dawn, i cared for them all. my favorite out of the bunch would be steven though.

i liked Dr. Frankenstein from Day!! he made bub smart and stuff, gotta give him credit.

from night, my favorite character was Ben.

but out of all the movies, my top favorite character was...Steven, he was always the man left out :( but he was awesome, without him they wouldnt have gone through those air shafts and went to the gun shop!

[poopontheshoes7]

Night: Ben and Living Dead Girl

Gotta love the guy.

The thought of Mr. Bean being stuck down in that cavern with the rest of the cast from Day of the Dead seriously made me laugh so hard my lungs hurt.

Just think about the opportunity for comedy.

RHODES: Do you hear what I'm saying to you, you mute son of a bitch? You'd better loosen that tie, wipe that stupid grin off your face and realize that I'm running this monkey farm now!

For a moment Mr. Bean stares blankly. He responds by giving a sly wink, suggesting he understands. Quickly he hunches over and proceeds to mimic a chimpanzee-like scratch to his underarm. He then nods and smiles at Rhodes and Steele, foolishly convinced he has pleased them.

RHODES: Steele... shoot this man!

Oh, and my favorite character from the original three is Roger. Peter is a close second.

[BubLives85]

Peter.
Calm, collected, and a cold blooded zombie killer when he needs to be.

Honorable mentions:
The Jamaican guy in Day of the Dead
BUB

[adamjohnson]

Ahem.

Undoubtedly the finest actor in the '68 version ;)





~darchangel~

[Horror_Buddy]

Definetly Peter

He was so badass! He could have beaten alot more of those zombies if it weren't for that idiot Flyboy. I would like to know what happened to him and Fran after Dawn of the Dead.

[Deadite914]

bub hands down

fallowed by asia argento:D :D she is the hottest chick ever. period.

[Valo the Crow]

BEN is my all time favorite, eventhough he is in the worst possible place to be holed up. He has great leadership skills and does the best he can in the situation he's in. Tony Todd or Duane Jones, BEN is the MAN.

[T2KFreeker]

I have to go with Ben. Ben was just a very powerful character that was well written and well acted by Duane. The remakes Ben was good too, just not like the original was.

[teenkiller]

Here are my favorites in no particular order:

1. Ben (Original or remake, both depictions are very good)
2. Barbra (remake)
3. Rhodes (Probably the best dickhead character ever)
4. Steel
5. Bub
6. Riley
7. Charlie
8. Big Daddy

Well thats all for now GOoD JOURNEY my fellow schmoes.

It's Savini.

Peter from Dawn
Flyboy from Dawn
It da zombie walk.

Slack from Land
It's Asia in leather.

[SteeleDude]

Ben is my favorite (the original 60s version).

And reading this thread just made me realize an eerie similarity to today. Ben and Cooper's struggle...young African American vs. Old White Man. Where have we seen that lately?
