It's not part of the Cornetto Trilogy, but Nick Frost, Simon Pegg and Edgar Wright made a fourth Movie, called "Paul" that's just as good and a lot of people forget about.

[@jessiechen279]

For zombie's i'd reccomend the original Romero trilogy, "night of the living dead" "dawn of the dead" and "day of the dead". For zombie comedy I'd say try the newer serie's "daybreakers" or "Cootie's" for a laugh😁

[@daerdevvyl4314]

My favorite zombie movie is _28 Days Later._

[@Drforrester31]

My favorite zombie movie after Shaun of the Dead is definitely Return of the Living Dead

[@jessiechen279]

@edd7918 Nice couple there i've never heard of...

[@notjustforhackers4252]

I'm in this movie, I was a member of the "Spaced" fan club back in the day, played one of the zombies outside the pub. We were paid £1 for the day. After filming myself and a few others went out drinking with Michael Smiley ( "Tyres" from Spaced ) still in our Zombie make up. Good times.

[@VerowakReacts]

That's so neat! It seems like a fun set to work on! Spaced is a show that I need to watch at some point

[@hellomark1]

Just going drinking in zombie makeup sounds like a fun time, getting to be an extra in a zombie movie would be amazing!

[@IntoTheWhite04]

​@@VerowakReactsabsolutely you have to watch Spaced too. Without that there is no Shaun of the dead or hot fuzz

[@toukie]

I love this movie. When Covid started and we were put on lockdown, my brother texted me "take car, go to Mum's, kill Phil, grab Liz, go to the Winchester, have a nice cold pint, and wait for all this to blow over"

[@VerowakReacts]

🤣That's awesome! It's a solid plan, really 😂

[@dabe1971]

Most of the extras are fans of the Pegg/Stevenson comedy series 'Spaced' that Edgar Wright directed. They put out an open call on fan groups for help making their movie to keep the budget down. Series 1 Episode 3 of the series was the direct inspiration for the film with 'Tim' hallucinating after pulling an all nighter playing Resident Evil 2. Jessica Stevenson plays Yvonne of the 'alternatives’. Also, Shaun’s flatmate Pete was the speaking voice of Darth Maul from ‘The Phantom Menace’.

[@StarkRG]

In the first Guardians of the Galaxy movie, Peter Serafinowicz played Denarian Saal, the commander of the Nova Corps defense fleet. He's the one who says "I can't believe I'm taking orders from a hamster."

[@lizard4679]

@@StarkRG He's also Pate in Dark Souls 2

[@sithlordkaeyl21]

The woman that plays Yvonne, she meets Shaun and Liz several times throughout the movie, is Jessica Hynes, Simon Pegg’s writing partner on the TV show ‘Spaced’, and it’s also where Simon Pegg and Edgar Wright started thinking about this movie after one of the early episodes had an opening where Simon Pegg’s character is dreaming that he’s in a zombie apocalypse after playing the video game Resident Evil 2.

[@BigDamnArtist]

She also plays the other lead character opposite Simon, let's give her full credit here. (She's great, Spaced is fantastic, highly recommend.)

[@sithlordkaeyl21]

@@BigDamnArtist, I thought about it, and then I got distracted, and forgot to add that.

[@Tantalus010]

I love how exacerbation is the underlying theme of the whole movie. The biggest joke is when Liz is trying to console Shaun towards the end, telling him that the most important thing is that he tried, when all he'd done throughout the movie is make things worse.

[@Hapsard]

Edgar Wright, Simon Pegg and Nick Frost worked together on a show called Spaced which was very similar in flavor to these movies ... then Shaun of the Dead, then Hot Fuzz, then World's End and you can see the progression of their work as you move forward through these movies. I think this phase of Edgar Wright's filmmaking culminated with Scott Pilgrim... Later films seem to go in a different direction. He was originally supposed to direct Ant-Man... that would have been interesting to see.

[@VerowakReacts]

I would be very curious to see what Ant-Man would have been like with Edgar Wright as director! I didn't know he did Scott Pilgrim, I'll have to watch that one too at some point

[@Hapsard]

@@VerowakReacts I would say yes you must watch Scott Pilgrim, but then if it wasn't to your taste you would just lose all respect for me ... 😋

[@mugendub]

​@VerowakReacts Spaced is an amazing show, such great & unique comedy & characters as well as cinematography of Edgar Wright. For a TV show its really tight, 2 seasons of 6 or 7 episodes each I think. Really worth watching

[@watts18269]

@@VerowakReactsI also vote for Scott pilgrim. It’s unlike any other film I’ve ever seen and I think you’ll genuinely love it!

[@asterix7842]

This was Simon Pegg's first movie writing credit, which may be why it seemed to be a little less polished. Hot Fuzz and Run Fatboy Run came a few years later, in 2007, with Paul coming a few years later in 2011 and The World's End in 2013. If you haven't seen it yet, another great zombie comedy is Zombieland (2009), with Jesse Eisenberg, Woody Harrelson, and Emma Stone.

[@thishollowhill]

This is one of my all time favourite movies. It is so perfectly written, the gags show understanding of the fandom, and they create insanely memorable characters. I still sing that, dub bah da dub bah da dub ba day doo scene constantly 😅😂

Such a clever film. The use of dialogue is simply superb.

[@williamrosmer8381]

i also love that there's a cameo from martin freeman in the other group of survivors

[@VerowakReacts]

Yes a sneaky Martin Freeman appearance!

[@aTofuJunkie]

Funny thing is if you paid attention at the beginning of the bar scene, Shaun tells you exactly what happens in the whole movie beginning, middle, and end.

[@VerowakReacts]

I'll be rewatching the Cornetto trilogy once I'm done and I feel like I'll notice so many more fun facts while doing so, like the one you pointed out lol

[@XAVR_]

This movie is an absolute masterclass in writing. Brilliant humour, clever references, but still beleiveable dialogue.

[@VerowakReacts]

It is definitely believable, it feels like real people are put into this situation, and not flawless characters

[@BigGator5]

"[about Ed] He's not my boyfriend!" "[handing beer to Shaun] It might be a bit warm, the cooler's off." "Thanks, babe. [winks at Ed]" Fun Fact: George A. Romero, creator of the movies to which this movie pays homage and lampoons, was so impressed with Simon Pegg and Edgar Wright's work that he asked them to cameo in Land Of The Dead (2005) as zombies. Spaced Background Fact: Many of the zombie extras are fans of Spaced (1999), which also starred Simon Pegg and Nick Frost and was also directed by Edgar Wright. They were recruited through the Spaced Out fan website. All of the newsreaders and television presenters are real people portraying themselves. Multiverse Sequel Fact: Simon Pegg and Edgar Wright considered a sequel that would replace zombies with another monster, but decided against it, as they were pleased with this movie as a stand-alone product, and thought too many characters died to continue the story. The proposed title idea "From Dusk Till Shaun" did have an afterlife as a mocked up poster that can be seen in Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse (2018).

[@omegashinra7672]

David's death in this is a homage to my favourite zombie kill from my favourite zombie movie. Captain Rhodes getting pulled to pieces in George Romero's Day of the Dead. That movie is just so bleak and gnarly, I love it.

[@goodshipkaraboudjan]

I'd thrive in a zombie environment. I fly for a living so I'll steal a plane and take a few fishing rods, a ton of books and solar panels (to run the laptop) and fly to a deserted island (preferably tropical) and live as a hermit. Knowing my luck it'll end up being Isla Sorna likely.

[@VerowakReacts]

Wouldn't that be quite hilarious in a way. Avoid the zombie apocalypse only to be surrounded by dinosaurs 😂 You have a huge advantage that you fly for a living!

[@goodshipkaraboudjan]

@@VerowakReacts aside from it being proven a plane can turn into a dinosaur chew toy quickly I'm thinking that zombie dinosaurs is a potential untapped B movie bronze mine.

[@alexaiello9577]

And also, I swear I was about to cry at the part when Ed was willing to sacrifice himself so that Shaun and Liz could escape. 😢💔😭

[@CrazyLife2112]

Since it is the apocalypse, the question is not about survival as much as it is about the order we all die in.

[@omegashinra7672]

This film is untouchable IMO. A straight 5 star zombie-comedy classic. It is SO tightly written and shot, it's just overflowing with good jokes and humour, the acting is all fantastic, Dylan Moran as David is particularly affective as the jelous douchebag, it's just so good. I genuinely don't think we'll ever see another horror-comedy as good as this one. Others have come close, particularly Tucker and Dale vs Evil, but nothing has made it to the same level yet and it's been 20 years.

[@VerowakReacts]

The writing in this and Hot Fuzz is so well done! The running gags, the reusing lines throughout the movie, it's so great to see a well written movie. I would love it if they made more

[@sammylane21]

If you've been bitten, you weren't mugged like Pete says he was, you would say you (and Pete) were assaulted. To be mugged is to have your things forcibly taken.

[@LordofFullmetal]

It can be both. You can be attacked during a mugging, in which case I have heard people describe that as "I was mugged".

[@aranerem5569]

Plan 1. I'm so sorry Phillip. Plan 2. Sorry Phillip. Plan 3. Sorry!

[@hellomark1]

Hot Fuzz probably seems more polished because it came out 3 years later, and the whole gang has had more time to really improve. They were all on TV series before this, but Shaun of the Dead was their first actual movie, smaller budget, etc. By Hot Fuzz they've all clearly levelled up. All of Edgar Wright's movies are very different, yet the "story-telling" aspect is always engaging. You should watch Scott Pilgrim vs The World (2010)! He directs that one also, plus it takes place in Canada (Toronto, I know a lot of Canada hates it but it's still good I promise). Also my other favourite movie that I really hope you do is Arrival (2016)

[@ZackE2541]

The Cornetto Trilogy is a great "series". Personally Worlds End is my favorite ( which is a hot take I know everyone). I cannot wait for you to get through it !

[@ericstarkey551]

Fun fact, they also released an edited version for airlines to show. They took the f bomb out and turned it to funk. The funny thing is due to their accents, it still sounded like the f bomb.

[@misterstubbs1611]

The detail and forshadowing in this movie are brilliant - my personal favourite is the fact that the phone book entry for the restaurant actually says 'the place that does all the fish'.

[@Yora21]

Hot Fuzz also has loads of characters saying apparently irrelevant things that turn out to happen later.

[@ericstarkey551]

Fun fact, in the extras of the dvd, they show Dianne actually survived after grabbing David's leg and rushing into the crowd of zombies.

Zombieland is another great Zombie comedy. Very different style of humor (American vs. British), but also delightful if you enjoy the zombie comedy genera.

[@glennbotes8937]

David and Di are pretty much Harry Potter and Brittany Spears in the early 2000s.

This movie and Hot Fuzz have some of the best foreshadowing! My favorite being the day Ed describes while Shaun commiserates: "We’ll have a Bloody Mary first thing, a bite at the King’s Head, couple at the Little Princess, stagger back here, and bang, back at the bar for shots." They go on to meet the zombie Mary in the garden, see Philip get bit in the head, pick up the couple and Liz, pretend to be zombies, and find the gun at the bar.

[@dnish6673]

And the roommate predicts Ed will be living in a shed in the garden.

[@VerowakReacts]

I love how all the lines have a meaning and are said for a reason. Whether it's foreshadowing or easter eggs. Just like Hot Fuzz, the writing is spectacular!!

[@charleslee8313]

Ed's plan for Shaun, with all of the drinks they were going to have -- it was what wound up happening to those two the next day (starting with a "bloody Mary")

I enjoy Hot Fuzz more simply because I'm not into zombie films but I think you missed out on a lot of the gags because you watched them out of order. While they are not an official trilogy, you can see how Hot Fuzz builds on the bones of this film, and even uses some of the same actors - the kid at Shaun's work who keep hassling him is one of the detectives in Hot Fuzz.

[@fullmoonprepping4024]

Depending how many zombie movies you've seen, you will recognize all the easter eggs. A great celebration of the horror genre in general.

[@VerowakReacts]

I haven't seen many at all, this is my first one 😂

[@IDLERACER]

😃👍 There's another "trilogy" that's similar to this in that it also uses all of the same actors, but playing different roles in each film: "Waiting For Guffman" (1996), "Best In Show" (2000) and "A Mighty Wind" (2003). Nothing scary about them, however. These films are all satirical comedies, that feature American and Canadian actors.

[@VerowakReacts]

I only heard of Best in Show and know that Eugene Levy is in it. That could be a neat trilogy to see!

Before you watch Land of the Dead, you must watch the original 3 Romero zombie movies: Night of the Living Dead, Dawn of the Dead(where "SotD" got its idea) and Day of the Dead. You should actually watch these first before you watch any zombie movies. These are the ones that started it all.

[@stevensauer8539]

Each one of the trilogy is a very different movie, with some of the same actors. This one was a brilliant parody of and tribute to the zombie genre, especially the Romero movies. As you discovered, Romero himself really liked it. Hot Fuzz is a brilliant parody of and tribute to the buddy cop genre. And the third movie, World's End, is more of a character piece. It's hard to describe, you just need to see it, and I definitely recommend it. It's got a great cast, and a good script. Just be sure to do a blind viewing, as spoilers will ruin some of the plot points.

[@alexspindler1]

So glad you liked this! I saw this first and loved it more than Hot Fuzz but I've since come around and and like them about equality. It may matter which you see first as that sets expectations and they're kind of different. I really quite like Land of the Dead. It's got some interesting ideas and i never knew that Pegg and Frost had a cameo. I'll have to keep and eagle eye out. Thanks!

About the cameo in Land of the Dead: when I first saw it I did not recognize him. I later found out about and looked it up. So good luck with your search for the cameo but if you also miss it the first time you can always use a search enginge of your choice. :D I'm looking forward to your movie reacts to George A. Romero's works. Dawn of the Dead and Land of the Dead are perfect choices but also Night of the Living Dead from 1968 which redefined the zombie genre and shaped it into what it is today.

Welcome!!! Nice to meet you too!

[@jasondavid3969]

Recommend Paul. Love this,, youll love Zombieland! 😜😂😎🇬🇧

[@Sandy-dd4le]

Good reaction! It occurred to me part way through you might enjoy Dead Set. A UK tv mini series, written by Charlie Booker. A zombie apocalypse story set in and around the Big Brother house.

[@davidmonaghan26]

Surviving a zombie apocalypse depends on the type of zombie. The classic zombie yes absolutely as I live near a church that has locked tight grounds plus heavy doors and high windows. Guns would be a problem as in the UK we don't have that many but again luckily there's a shooting range that shoots clay pidgins so could raid that with whatever ammo there and o can use a bow not greatly but it's a zombie apocalypse I'll have nothing but time to train it's not like I'll have work

[@markjones127]

I was going to mention Spaced and the Resident Evil connection but I see it's all been covered, just watch Spaced, you'll love it, another really great UK comedy horror film is 'Sightseers', 2012.

[@jasonsenior4318]

Dylan Moran (David) in Black Books is hilarious but you will find a lot of the films actors in that (even though it was a British tv show) - Simon Pegg, Nick Frost etc. I think Hot Fuzz steps it up as it has some of the big names British comedy in it

[@miker252]

She might like Warm Bodies 2013.

[@johnnie2638]

I've seen this movie upteen times & it always amuses me how the main characters have no way to protect themselves. Being the U.K. there's no gun ownership & highly restricted knife ownership they make light of the fact that Shaun & Ed are forced to throw small appliances & records and even pillows at the zombies in order to fend off the slow-moving attackers.

[@petercofrancesco9812]

It compliments the lighter mood. The movie is more about the relationships between the characters instead of a shoot'em up action horror flick. Even when they have access to the rifle they're terrible shots which makes it feel like how real people would perform in a crises.

[@loonz1969]

"Fido" with Billy Connolly is another great underrated zombie comedy that most people have never seen. Check it out

[@sallyatticum]

Hurray! Someone finally caught "Kill the Queen!"

[@VerowakReacts]

Every line in this movie is gold!!

[@Kenny-ep2nf]

Idk why but I initially thought that this movie was about Hershels son Shaun in the Walking Dead lol

[@VerowakReacts]

This movie turned out to be slightly more comedic than Walking Dead, I imagine lol

[@Kenny-ep2nf]

@@VerowakReacts yup, it was something totally different

[@gazzamanazza4pm]

Here's a fun story and a bit of trivia - for the premiere of The World's End (which, while it's the weakest of the three Cornetto Trilogy films, I still think it's great and thoroughly underrated), I attended a marathon showing of all three of the films, timed to begin The World's End at midnight on its release day. It was great fun, they served Cornettos in the intermissions! More to the point though, each film first had a short intro video from Simon Pegg, Nick Frost, and Edgar Wright, and in the intro for Shaun of the Dead, they informed us that the movie contained 77 uses of the F word, asking that we applaud each and every time we heard it. Edit: I think I'd do ok compared to most in a zombie apocalypse, since I've got some simple survival and fighting training, but statistically the odds still arent great for just about anyone's long term survival. I'd take my motorcycle and as many supplies as I can handle, go to my parents' place in the countryside, and figure the rest out from there.

[@henrytjernlund]

This is horror. But there is another sci-fi alien movie Paul. And I think another but can't recall.

[@darkforestcinema]

Paul is fun film with those 2 as well. -Sage

[@moonlitegram]

15:18 always love a good "douche nozzle" drop :D

[@VerowakReacts]

There are so many douche nozzle characters in movies 😂

[@granddaddy_funk]

Man i love this movie!

[@Xenotric]

the cornetto trilogy is just fantastic :3 worlds end is a bit less full on but i hope have fun with it when you watch it too!

[@VerowakReacts]

I'm looking forward to seeing what that one is about!!

[@havok6280]

I love Edgar Wright but this is the only one of the 3 I've seen. Baby Driver and Scott Pilgrim are personal favorites. I would have loved to see his version of Antman...

[@Bond007er]

I like Shaun of the dead

[@mikebrown7799]

Hello Miss Verowak!😊 You look lovely! Yes, you did remember the fence jumping from the other film.😆 I feel you actually watched the best film first in the trilogy. "Hot Fuzz" is the film I would most like to see a sequel to, also. But, all three films are enjoyable. There is a fourth sci-fi comedy these two starred in, it is "Paul" (2011). You should check it out too. Great reactions to your second film in the Cornetto Trilogy, Miss Verowak!!!!🎬👏👏👏👏

[@VerowakReacts]

Aww thank you!! Hot Fuzz was just so fantastic!! So far I've enjoyed both films, but HF is still my favorite of the two. I'll be watching Paul after I finish the Cornetto trilogy, yes!! I hope you have a nice weekend

Re: your question on whether we'd survive the zombie apocalypse. Approximately 15 years ago I met Max Brooks, the author of The Zombie Survival Guide and World War Z. He asked my friends and me, what our zombie survival plan was. He said that every person he meets feels compelled to share a very detailed plan with him. My answer was simple: get bitten and get it over with. He said that I was the first person to have that answer. I doubt that it's so as it seems quite a simple way out, he was probably just being nice. nonetheless, here it is.

[@VerowakReacts]

That's definitely one solution. It would be neat if we kept some of our faculties when we became zombies. Also, I didn't know World War Z was a book first!!

[@RuntotheMovies]

@@VerowakReacts Max Brooks said, at the time, that he had nothing to do with the movie and did his best to distance himself from it. If I'm not mistaken, it was in pre-production at the time.

[@shawnbridges8703]

Are you sure you haven’t already been bitten?

[@RuntotheMovies]

@@shawnbridges8703 not entirely. There has been a weird itch in my leg for a few hours now...

[@shawnbridges8703]

Not to worry there is a slim but definite chance you are immune, You sir could be The Omega Man!

[@sithlordkaeyl21]

There are quite a few good zombie movies: this one, Zombieland, Night of the Living Dead, Dawn of the Dead, Day of the Dead, Return of the Living Dead, and although I consider it more of an “infection-type” movie than a zombie film, some people disagree with me, but 28 Days Later is very good.

[@nelgoez]

Do "Paul" after

[@Terab75]

J"aime tes réactions ;)

[@VerowakReacts]

Merci!!! 🤩

[@RealDrunkenMaster]

I like Hot Fuzz but l like this movie better, that is funny.

[@karlbecker8775]

I would totally survive the Z apocalypse. At that point, the living are more of an issue than the dead.

[@VerowakReacts]

Sadly that's so true lol

[@dqan7372]

Editing isn't as crisp and the wheels really fall off at the end, but a good first entry. If you need another comedic break, Tucker and Dale vs Evil is a pretty good romantic goremedy.

[@auntvesuvi3872]

Oh, I love this one! Thanks, Verowak. 🧟‍♀ My favorites of Mr. Wright's are this one, which I think is the funniest of his similarly-styled comedies... as well as BABY DRIVER (2017) and LAST NIGHT IN SOHO (2021) which aren't funny at all. #VerowakReacts #EdgarWright #ShaunOfTheDead

[@VerowakReacts]

I'll need to watch more of his movies to see how he's changed over the years!

[@auntvesuvi3872]

@@VerowakReacts He's brilliant. I'm convinced he can do anything he wants to.
