One of the best aspects of Shaun of the Dead is it's realism. In most movies, its a group of teenagers fight off all the zombies. Here, the group of random adults are poorly armed (because of the UK setting), most of said adults die (or become zombies), and how the military quickly kill the zombies, because slow lumbering rotten corpses are no match for any army with automatic firearms. Or even non-automatic firearms.

I dunno, this follows the usual zombie movie tropes very closely. Can't remember a good zombie movie that has all teenagers that win.

Shaun Of The Dead is a masterpiece and it is endlessly quotable.

You got to love Edgar wright, hes a one of a kind director.

[@JordanEdis]

Nick Frost's shoulder injury wasn't from the car scene. It happened when Shaun and Ed were bludgeoning a zombie in the garden with a shovel and a baseball bat.

[@ChaosInferno101]

Shaun of the dead is definitely one of my top 3 favorite zombie movies

[@77mpickett]

I loved the scene when they 1st bludgeon the 2 zombies in the garden. There expressions as they 1st seem stunned and disgusted. Then u see they start taking all their frustrations out on the zombies

You could make an entire episode about the foreshadowing and call backs in this movie. Absolutely nothing ever comes out of nowhere in Edgar Wright’s movies.

I used to watch this as a kid and be terrified when the zombies attacked the pub

[@lissfirefly9517]

My absolute favorite part of Shaun of the Dead is where they're bashing the barkeep with pool queues to "Don't Stop Me Now" by Queen.

[@joshua.recovers]

This is the best video that #101Facts has made so far. This movie is also my top favorite ever. Might have to have a British Accent face off with Sam since this movie taught me how to speak with that accent!

[@YoshionYT]

I watched this film dozens of times and still havent noticed some of the things you pointed out in this video.

[@josephpeoples2621]

All I keep thinking about in this movie is when Shaun says "hellooo" to a random zombie.

Crazy! I watched shaun of the dead the other day and was trying to find a 101 video on it. All of a sudden? a 101 video

[@Succubus2Angel]

Loved this episode, Sam! Play it again! ^O^ Just Kidding. As always, fantastic narration, editing and just enough of a sprinkle of humour, as you Brits know how to place ^__^ I'll be sure to watch what I've missed!

[@scubagrace]

This is 100% my favourite film ever. It was made by the production comany/producers that set up my college. Honestly I'm so lucky to be there and would recommend to anyone who wants to study film before uni age.

[@KendrickHarrisKenfinity]

We have so many "plague" related things to keep going to our fun and unpredible zombie comedy for! And It's amazing to find out so much about this unique body world saving film. Stay safe and keep it up!

[@Iamtheliquor]

Now we need 101 facts about Spaced! What a series that was😎

[@user-ox9ep9ki6h]

One of the thinkback funny things about the movie is how fking terribly ineffective the zombies actually are at their job. Zombies in the garden? Plenty of time to go and find dozens of things to throw and hit with. Shaun leading 500 zombies away from the Winchester by running THROUGH a tightly packed mob? No worries. Zombie in the house? No problem, just leisurely walk outside, remembering the car keys and cricket bat before leaving, profusely apologising to said zombie first.

[@trustcomestoughx]

This was awesome, I hope you plan on doing one for, Hitchhikers Guide To The Universe! 😉

But I still have the ticket stub from October 2004. I saw it a few days after I was raped on the way home. The movie defiantly helped me feel better. It was so easy to laugh during the film.

[@mrmhj9925]

What one thing people forget is how it’s not just a good comedy but it’s a damn good zombie movie. It’s a true love letter to George A Romero. True zombie horror with good British comedy. Now zombie comedies miss the point, like Zombieland mostly the second one. Funny for some cheap entertainment but a terrible zombie movie. No horror at all. Shaun of the Dead is considered to me a zombie masterpiece a long side Romero’s Dead series. And Lucio’s Flesh eating Zombies.
