Anecdotes:

The film was written before Dawn of the Dead (1978) was released in Italy, as an action/adventure thriller with no link to George A. Romero's films. The opening and closing scenes (which take place in New York) were added to the script later when the producers wanted to cash-in on the success of Dawn.

Goofs:

Continuity: While defending the hospital from hordes of zombies, Peter and Brian throw Molotov cocktails at the entrance. Despite throwing several that result in fireballs and flames, each time one is thrown the hospital entrance is clear of any flames.

Classic Fulci Flick

This infamous zombie flick (which is brought to us by the Italian master of gore Lucio Fulci) is about some supposed New Yorkers who travel to a remote island in search of some chick's pops. The island just happens to be infested with blood thirsty zombies. The pacing is slower than i would have liked but other than that it's a great gut muncher with some awesome gore, very nasty looking zombies (complete with worms in the eye sockets), and even some female nudity. There's a shark scene that's really unique and also a cool ending. (I hate when horror movies have lame endings) A definite must see for all zombie fans. If you dig this one be sure to check out ZOMBI 3 and GATES OF HELL which are both by Fulci. And also ZOMBIE 4 and the BURIAL GROUND.
