The new dawn of the dead has both Peter and Roger from the original in cameos, as well as Tom Savini.
Also, notice both movies have a large black cop and a small blonde woman as lead characters, and a douchebag with the name "Steve" (or stephen).
Dog soldiers is full of references, i have named them before, but i will name them again if someone asks.
Some movies have interesting themes.
The original Star wars movies were based loosely on WW2. The Evil Empire is based on the Nazis. Both armies called their soldiers "Stormtroopers"
Aliens was actually based on a Vietnam War theme. Jim Cameron said it himself: A small group of soldiers sent far away from home to fight against a technologically inferior foe, and get their asses handed to them.
