Return of the Living Dead: Which Unkillable?
Which Unkillable is right for these zombies? SPOILERS for anyone who hasn't yet seen this movie or its sequels, as a warning.
Unkillable 1 is close, but doesn't quite fit. There are many things that you could do to reduce something to -10xHP that don't involve actual total body destruction. Even hacked to pieces, these zombies' parts (esp the heads) continue moving. The only way to totally kill these things is bodily disintegration, via burning, acid, or whatever. Okay, there was also the electricity thing, but that's boring, ignore that. Achilles' Heel limited Unkillable 2 is overkill, and doesn't reflect what's going on either, as eventually they'll go into "indestructible skeleton" mode, and it suggests a kind of regrowth upon "death". Maybe some enhanced UK1, some limited UK2, or even some heavy tweak to Supernatural Durability? Thoughts?

HP +11 (Massless +0%) [22] (Because unliving) Immunity to Pain [30] Immunity to unconsciousness [30] (this has kromm approval, but isn't canon) Injury Tolerance (No Blood, No Brain, No Vitals, Unliving) [35] Injury Tolerance: Independant body Parts (Detachable Head +15%; No Reattachment -60%) [20] Unkillable 1 [50] Your average zombie requires 231 points of injury to kill. Injury to limbs and head doesn't count for this purpose. Crippling the limbs requires 12 ppoints of injury, the same as the amount to dismember a normal human.

Re: Return of the Living Dead: Which Unkillable?
I haven't seen the movie, but it looks like you want Unkillable 1, Supernatural Durability and Injury Tolerance: Independent Body Parts (Powers p. 52 / Horror p. 15), possibly with the No Reattachment limitation. I would allow Cosmic (+100%) on the later to prevent the body parts from being crippled so easily.
