Actually reminds me of World War Z (the novel, not the movie) because the Army DOES show up to try and sort it, but get so bogged down with journalists and trying to treat the horde like a living enemy (most tactics are designed to rout the enemy, not entirely decimate them)... needless to say, the first attempt was an absolute clusterfuck.

[@gregjenkinson7512]

15:50 just to kind of add another layer of subtext to the call back line: we see earlier on Yvonne has a group like Shawn's but we don't see any of them in that final scene not even in the background. "Im glad somebody made it" kind of implies she lost her whole group

[@ExoVyper]

im so glad someone else seen this cause when she does say it she looks like shes been through hell, its not just a call back to what she said she genuinely must have thought that she was the only one left alive

[@zenkim6709]

That's 1 possible take ...but another possibility is that Yvonne saw that Shaun & Liz were clearly by themselves when they were last seen by Yvonne in the company of four other people. Given that Yvonne is firmly characterized in the movie as a smarter, overall more "got it all together" person than Shaun, it is plausible that Yvonne made sure her entire group made it to safety, then rode along w/ the British Army to The Winchester because she figured Shaun & his people were quite likely trapped & beseiged by The Assailants. Her saying "Glad *somebody* made it" was then acknowledging that only Shaun & Liz managed to get out of the Winchester alive, "but hey ... at least not everybody died!"

[@abhishekharwani1578]

@@zenkim6709 that's my exact take on it. The way she said sounded like she thought of it as a 'silver lining' to her efforts in getting the military to the pub. But i did go far into thinking that the military would never show up there if it weren't for Yvonne because only she knew that Shaun and Co. were there. So I think, that she meant it as a sigh of relief that her efforts didn't go in vain.

[@fairfortune67]

I figured everyone died in Yvonne's group but when she says I'm glad somebody made it I figured that was a way of saying Shaun and Liz actually succeeded as a couple and that their relationship was the one that made it. I also think this movie is really about Shaun's transition into adulthood. All the events seem to be about Shaun letting go of the past and moving into a different more responsible kind of life.

[@horsebox5138]

I always thought of it as a way of giving Shaun the win - he fought the whole movie and him and Liz got out alive. Even though going to Winchester eventually resulted in everybody else's deaths, everyone in Yvonne's group died except for her, and she's meant to be the "perfect" parallel of him, meaning Shaun did something right at least.

[@rafaelnahafahik7781]

Not only to hot fuzz, but also to the World’s End

[@DTRIGGS]

I feel like the phrase "You got red on you," has an extra layer to it for Shawn. While at first it is used to point out Shawn is a screw up (so much of a loser that he can't even handle a pen properly) and obviously later refers to the blood from the zombies, there are a couple different extra meanings one can pick up on. The first could be that Shawn has the death of his friends on him, since his plan of rounding everyone up and going to the bar essentially got Ed and Liz's friends killed. The other alternative meaning is that Shawn is becoming more of a leader and is taking more charge in his life, red is often used as the color of leadership (think Power Rangers, Optimus Prime or The Powerpuff Girls for example).

[@claytonmyers9739]

While not directly related to leadership, I also view the zed-word blood to be a transition from screw up or loser to the hero. "You've got red on you," at the shop is a bit of downer. "You've got red on you," after killing zombies is a badge of honor.

[@daniellemhall1358]

"The PowerPuff Girls for example" made me smile 😊😊

[@RaistliniltsiaR]

Something in Shaun’s character development I never caught until now - he totally fails to motivate his team by delivering a quote at the beginning(“There’s no I in team, but there IS an I in pie”), and absolutely nails it in the Winchester with his Bertrand Russel quote.

Nick frosts little mannerisms when he delivers a line! Just makes everything so brilliant "I'll do it on the night" "and there's a rifle over the bar". He's always doing something that makes it realistic. A comic genius.

[@connorweyant6284]

I generally like a lot of realism in movies, so while I did laugh pretty hard, it wasn’t my cup of tea. However, this video made me realize how it’s not JUST a dumb zombie comedy; every line in the beginning connects to the end in some big ways. I appreciate this film MUCH more now.

[@PokPau]

I watched The World's End a week ago with zero knowledge of the plot and I honestly loved it so much that I had to watch Shaun Of The Dead and Hot Fuzz, too. The way Edgar Wright foreshadows, the details he puts into every scene, it is magnificient.

[@samuelbarber6177]

The thing I love about Edgar Wright, not just his great editing style, but also the fact that everything in the second and third acts is foreshadowed by the first act and you feel like you’re being rewarded for noticing everything, ie, the people from before they became zombies, sorry, z-words, or even just the references to earlier in the movie.

Can appreciate Penelope Wilton? She added those convulsions on her death and others were worried it was going too far. She stuck with it and gave us something truly heartbreaking. Also, you may not notice but when Shaun is talking to Barbara in the kitchen, a shadow movies on the wall. This is to signify the hoodie zombies finding them.

[@JerBuster77]

I love how they treated zombies as actual slow moving creatures, not the fast moving crap we saw in World War Z.

[@sirpugsalot6113]

I like the world war z zombies. They are actually a threat unlike these slow zombies

[@umbralumbreon7380]

I mean, it’s kinda the point that the zombies aren’t meant to be a threat in this film, because they aren’t the focus of the film. They’re more like something used to carry the story forward

[@Gamer3427]

@@sirpugsalot6113 In my opinion, the thing that makes zombies scary isn't that they're necessarily an individual threat, but that they're effectively an encroaching tide that can't be stopped. They're easy to eliminate and are slow, but most of the time you'd run out of resources to fight them well before they ran out of numbers to throw at you, and all it takes is a single slip up, getting bit just once or caught off guard for a moment, for them to win. There's plenty of monsters out there that are powerful and fast, or that can easily outmatch the target they're after, but they don't tend to capture the sheer exhaustion and hopelessness that comes from slow zombies. More than that though, and as this movie shows, it's ultimately about them being a threat that allows for the characters to build up and have relationships, unlike most horror monsters and fast zombies......

[@garethbaus5471]

The world war z zombies are actually scary.

[@beowuff42]

I agree. The thing that made zombies scary was the mass of uncaring horde slowly creeping up on you with nothing you could do about it. Sure, you could take one or even a dozen out, but there are millions of them. Fast zombies shouldn't exist. There's plenty of fast monsters that could take their place and be even more scary.

I watch it a few times a year with a beer and smile. In fact watching this has highlighted even more call backs and references that I hadn't noticed. I think it is rather perfect.
