LOVE to ALL of you

[@SebastianWeinberg]

This is a movie that gets *better* upon re-watching, because you catch all the foreshadowing and ironic echoes that you missed the first time around.

[@RickLeMon]

The way the dialog at the beginning repeats at the end in different contexts is brilliant.

[@kingjellybean9795]

Like zombie Nation playing on the bus🤣

[@habitsrabbit]

That's probably all Edgar wright films lol

[@fubar1217]

Definitely takes a couple of watches to catch everything!

[@MrSkinnyWhale]

True, I love it. Time for my 58th rewatch, just in case I missed something...

[@unforeseeable2.058]

Lot's of Easter Eggs here. After Liz breaks up with Shaun, when he and Ed are at the Winchester, Ed's monologue about drinking actually foreshadows the entire movie. "We'll have a bloody mary first thing in the morning (The first zombie they actually encounter is the cashier Mary) a bite of the king's head (A zombie bit Phillip in the neck) a couple of little princesses (Shaun went to pick up Liz, David, and Diane) stagger back here (They pretended to be zombies to get to the Winchester) BANG! Back at the bar for shots (They use the bar rifle to shoot zombies)" I'm sure other comments will tell you more easter eggs.

[@jesusnavas2935]

Awesome, never put 2 and 2 to that, amazing.

[@TheGeckoNinja]

that's pretty damn clever

[@hughesy8411]

That's amazing! Seen this movie so many times and caught easter eggs and found out many. But yeah cheers buddy

[@69coolchris]

George A.Romero was so impressed with the film, that he gave Simon Pegg and Edgar Wright cameos as zombies in his fourth zombie film Land of the Dead. Dylan Moran, who plays David is a very funny stand-up comedian and actor. You should check out the British sitcom Black Books, in which Dylan Moran is very funny.

[@johnfreeman9505]

In the animated special features it is revealed that Diane survives. She goes into a wild rage avenging David and when the frenzy wears off climbs a tree and outlasts the horde. A happy ending. :)

[@joshritz7067]

Diane activated her Barbarian rage

[@brianmartin6486]

I dont think ive ever heard of that , so thats cool , i liked Di .

[@forastero54321]

Haha! Never knew. Guess she beat back all those zombies with David’s leg.

[@DementedCaver]

I think they may have been joking about that a bit since it is never shown, but I like to believe that in that make believe world she actually did survive.

[@forastero54321]

@@DementedCaver well, we never actually see her die, and the rule if thumb is if it doesn’t happen on screen it never happened.

[@Krayton86]

Please tell me, that this means, after this you 'll see Hot Fuzz and The worlds end movies! :)

[@lokithecat7225]

If you've seen one movie with an inconsequential passing shot of an Ice Cream, you really should see them all?

[@ojtheviking]

@@lokithecat7225 That's severely oversimplifying it.

[@lokithecat7225]

@@ojtheviking Or desperate fans found saying "If you liked this movie, there are some others by most of the same crew" wasn't as effective as a convoluted story about a Prop.

[@ojtheviking]

@@lokithecat7225 What are they desperate about? What's desperate about recognizing that these three movies are officially a part of a trilogy?

[@lokithecat7225]

@@ojtheviking Trying to make three unrelated stories into a Trilogy is desperate. Trilogy (noun) a group of three related novels, plays, films, operas, or albums. Unless you are trying to say the "Corenetto Trilogy", is the story of an ice cream cone, travelling through alternate, fictional universes (desperate) there is no connection between them. Wrights nonsense about "Common themes" doesn't make them a Trilogy.

[@charleslee8313]

21:55 -- the fence-jumping scene. If you watch "Hot Fuzz," and "The World's End," that scene comes back. Bill Nighy is always great. He's in the other installments of the Cornetto Trilogy. He's also great as Davy Jones in the "Pirates Of The Caribbean" movies.

[@mattcarroll1101]

It's never explained in the movie but, according to director Edgar Wright, “It was some drunken thing where Ed and his friends had been shaving bits of their hair off.” Hence the bald spot. This was actually Nick Frost's own idea.

[@stingerjohnny9951]

Yup, just a little subtle character design, as an idiot like Ed would do something like that.

[@3DJapan]

The guy who plays David was in a hilarious britcom called Black Books. It's one of my favorite comedy shows.

[@mcborge1]

Dylan Moran is a fantastic stand up comic too, one of the best. :)

[@kratosGOW]

The Universal graphic at the beginning reminded me that you should definitely react to “Scott Pilgrim vs The World”. Pleaaaaase!.. please please please! 😆

[@stathissdz2125]

The entire Cornetto Trilogy is a must see! And to follow, the Frost-Pegg cherry on the top has to be "Paul"!

[@-M0LE]

All so overrated

[@wyterabitt2149]

They had the idea to do a film of some kind like this while doing a British comedy show called "Spaced" (there's an Episode that has a couple of zombie references, I think he is playing Resident Evil during the episode too much). It was co-created and written by Simon Pegg and directed by Edgar Wright. It also stars Nick Frost, and the girl who is the leader of the alternative group in this film. It is worth watching if you get the chance, although it is very British and a little surreal.

[@AtheistDD]

my favorite character fro this show was the bike messanger...

[@NebulousSquirrel]

[@adammalone3414]

I love how hes so hungover hes completely oblivious to the apocalypse.

[@gr3yh4wk1]

Welcome to England :D

[@jazzx251]

"rage infected monkeys" is a reference to "28 Days Later", arguably the best zombie movie ever made

[@P.HATHCOX]

I'm happy to see you were able to get this reaction resolved and posted. After the movies where you are in your Kazplay costumes, I think this is one of your best movie reactions of the year.

[@jksgameshelf3378]

So excited for this reaction. One of my favorite films of all time (along with pretty much all of Edgar Wright's films). Thumbs up in advance because I know you're going to love it! There are some great nods in the film to the great British TV show 'Spaced' that Simon Pegg co-starred in and co-wrote, and Edgar Wright directed. Jessica Hynes, who played Yvonne in this film, the woman he ran into three times during the movie, was Simon's co-star on that show, and so when she sees him at the beginning and asks him where he's living now, it's a throwback to that series because they were roommates in it. Also, a lot of the zombies in the film were fans of the show who they let be in the film.

[@SillyUncleAndy]

I agree, the gif you used Kazzy with Simon giving thumbs up to the camera at the beginning is from Spaced

[@everyonelovesmajima]

"I did NOT call Diane a failed actress!"

[@everythingcx8024]

Lol i love that line.

[@ralfuz777]

Another preemptive thumbs up for you!! By now everybody knows you’re gonna do an excellent job!! 😉

[@BadDubII]

Every line of dialog in this movie means something at a later date. So good.

[@Duskwalker68]

Great reaction as always! This movie is one of my personal favourite comedies, Simon and Nick are a fantastic duo.

[@marclewis5505]

Great reaction Kazzy! I like this movie and glad u liked it with all your laughing thru it😆

[@kirbywilliamson2942]

Glad you finally got around to this movie, I think you are going to love it. I love the quiet tribute to Queen, that scene is the best .

[@kirbywilliamson2942]

P.S. I will always love your cut aways.

[@jamesgilburt1050]

Brilliant reaction again, Kazzy. You're one of my favourite youtube reaction channels. This is a very funny film, I always enjoy it and I enjoyed your reaction to it. I recommend these war films Memphis Belle, Kelly's Heroes, Good Morning Vietnam & a comedy musical: The Blues Brothers - all excellent films. Keep up the fantastic work.

[@digitalkid5623]

I grew up watching this movie a lot and its still by far my favorite horror/comedy. I remember my mum owning it on VCR...damn the old days and of course it was the first film from Edgar Wright that I've seen. The dynamic duo between Simon Pegg and Nick Frost is amazing. Thats one Cornetto Trilogy film down and now remains, Hot Fuzz and The World's End. Hopefully you get to check those 2 films out.

[@ChrisTheComputerGuy]

First time I heard / noticed the "rage infected monkey" thing. Reference to '28 Days Later'

[@Lethgar_Smith]

I thought it was "aids infected" monkey.

Kazzy - yeah Phillip was also great in the Pirates of the Caribbean movies as Davy Jones. Loving your reaction channel, best wishes from Leeds England

[@CaturdayNite]

Happy Friday Night Kazzy!!!! This was such a fun film, with some surprising gore and heart (no pun intended) than I thought it would have considering it seeming very comedy forward. The World's End is another good one. I probably like it even more than Shaun of the Dead. But all the "Cornetto Trilogy", which includes Hot Fuzz, is great. Quick Story (You know me and my walls of text on a Friday night, or Caturday Nite) Since World's End has to do with the characters revisiting their old neighborhood and bar hopping twelve bars for 12 pints over the night I had the brilliant idea to have a "Cornetto Trilogy Movie Night" with some friends where over the course of the night I would have 12 beers. There were many different kinds, including those really dark beers (a friend used to brew beer) that really fill you up. And I remember a few things distinctly: 1. There is a point where the body stops even trying to process alcohol. I think my body it figured I must have been being poisoned and to shut down. 2. I involuntarily.....made room for more beer by early in the third film. 3. At one point we ordered pizza from two different places. Let them race for the bigger tip.

[@auntvesuvi3872]

Thanks, Kazzy! 🧟‍♀️ I *love* this one... and my mother does, too, oddly enough.

[@deenormus1975]

I can imagine this being 100% ur kinda movie. It’s been in my Halloween rotation since it came out. Saw it in the theater & everything.👏 Can’t wait to see ur reaction!

[@tracertloopback]

one of the funniest things about this movie is when you notice all the people that were in the movie actually come back as zombies in the horde. The zombie that comes in the front door of their flat was the guy behind Shaun at the corner store in line. The Zombie that was pushing the shopping cart was the guy he worked with who kept getting on his phone. Also, related to that phone call, if you listen to what he says, it is strongly implied that he was the one trying to buy weed from Ed at the beginning of the movie. There is so much tight, interconnected writing in all of these movies.

[@thomasharris4942]

Kazzy: He passed out and slept there all night! Some of us: Um...yeah...[looks around nervously]

[@whomigazone]

While I was in college I would go to the college bookstore after my first class and have soda and a snickers bar - my breakfast of champions.

[@chunksaflyin]

Great reactions to a great movie, as everyone else is recommending Hot Fuzz and The Worlds End are must see, but if you haven't done it yet (I've been dealing with a loss in the family so haven't been on), I would love to see your reaction to Tucker and Dale vs. Evil. I really think you'd get a kick out of that one. Once again, thank you for your smiles, laughs, singing and reactions.

[@GlamityJean]

I just realized that Shaun's mom is Harriet Jones :O

[@bighuge1060]

I see everyone's beat me to recommending the rest of the Cornetto Trilogy but another excellent Edgar Wright movie is Baby Driver; a non-singing musical of sorts as the action follows the music. Another three great horror/comedies are (the classic) Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein, Return of the Living Dead, and Tucker and Dave Versus Evil. As an aside, in the 1970s and early 1980s, channel 11 WPIX in NY would run Abbott and Costello Meets Frankenstein along with March of the Wooden Soldiers and Santa Claus Conquers the Martians as their Thanksgiving day line up. On NY's channel 9 WOR, it was the trifecta of the 30s King Kong, Son of Kong and the original Mighty Joe Young as their Thanksgiving offering. As kids we would look forward to all these once a year.

[@charlieproteus]

Kazzy, love your reactions! this was a fun movie for sure!

[@evanmarmer8576]

Shaun Of The Dead is a great horror comedy.Saw it in the theatre when it came out and have been a fan of Edgar Wright films since.

[@RustinChole]

Killer jeans and Pink Floyd shirt combo kazzy! Great reaction as usual.

Edgar Wright Simon Pegg and Nick Frost are friends and worked together from the beginning. The Cornetto trilogy, as it is called, has many repeat participants, which makes it even funner.

[@greeneyesinfl9954]

Hilarious movie. They were both in a movie called Paul also, with Kristen Wiig and Seth Rogen.

[@scyphe]

Yes, Shaun of the Dead is the first in Edgar Wrights "Cornetto Trilogy". You'll see short glimpses of the cornetto references in each movie.. (Cornetto is an ice cream cone). Hot Fuzz and The Worlds End are great as well, each with their own style and characters (with some recurring cast incl. Simon Pegg and Nick Frost). Btw, that wobbly synth sound during the Universal logo at the very beginning is taken straight from the 1978 movie Dawn of the Dead which is the main movie that Shaun of the Dead is a mild parody of.

Beating up zombies to "don't stop me know" by Queen- priceless ;) If you get the chance look out for "Spaced", the tv sitcom written by and starring Pegg and Jessica Stephenson and directed by Edgar. It's the show that put them on the map and led (almost directly) to this and all the movies they did.

[@DanJackson1977]

This movie is a big fat love letter to George Romero and his zombie trilogy.. NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD (1968), DAWN OF THE DEAD (1978), and DAY OF THE DEAD (1985)... tons of specific references (music, dialogue, characters, jokes) to those films in this that once you see them, this movie plays very differently. George is actually the first person Edgar Wright showed the movie to once it was done, and he loved it.

[@adampoll4977]

Welcome to the directorial genius of Edgar Wright - EVERYTHING means something.

[@ehbiscuit]

[@whomigazone]

I'm friends IRL with the guy that plays 'The Hulk' in this film.

[@davidmichaelson1092]

LOVE this movie. Every scene is perfect. This is part of a nominal trilogy, but the only real thing connecting them is the ice cream cones. They are all worth watching but this is the best of the three by far. And from your reaction to this I think I can say I want you on my team if a zombie apocalypse comes. Many of the main actors in this were on Dr. Who. I can place at least 5 of them from Dr. Who. Totally off topic, have you watched the series "Orphan Black?" If not I think you would love it for all the main characters (all played by the same amazing actress). Give it a try if you haven't already. Would love to see your reaction. It starts dramatically and goes in directions you never expect.

[@edwardthorne9875]

Thanks for a charming reaction to a movie I just don't get tired of. You did a great job on the editing, even including drop-ins. Nice! Has anyone seen the Edgar Wright movie about 'The Sparks Brothers'? It is a tribute to a rather eccentric band. Is it any good? The Corona thing kind of put a quash on its release, and relatively few people know about the amazing music Sparks has produced.

[@snarkus63]

In all his zombie movies, George Romero...who practically created the genre...never specified as to *WHAT* caused the zombie epidemic in the first place. The "rage-infected monkeys" theory (35:58) was a joking reference to the movie *28 Days Later* .

[@russellwood8750]

Might not be a big movie buff and you’re reacting to a lot of films which is great but I have to give you props on your music knowledge it’s very kleptic and widespread it is quite impressive.

[@thomaskilroy4573]

While I love this film. Hot Fuzz blows it out the water. The entire Cornetto trilogy are comedic satires of specific genres. You’re favourite movie is probably reflective of which genre you prefer. Zombies, Action, or Sci-Fi. Then again, there are a great many people who love Zombie and Sci-Fi more and still count Hot Fuzz as their favourite. It is a comedic masterpiece. There is literally a joke every 5 seconds. You need to watch it at least 3 times to catch everything. Also, the Cornetto trilogy are not sequels. They do not feature the same characters. Merely some of the same actors in different roles. They are spiritual successors to each other more than anything.

[@Krayton86]
