Ed's 'plan for tomorrow' is the most brilliant bit of foreshadowing ever. He lays out the entire rest of the movie in such a way that you may never pick it up on first watch - from 'bloody Mary' (Now listen here... Mary!) to 'back at the Winchester for shots' (Call them shells...). Hot Fuzz and World's End each do it a little different, but Edgar Wright always has fun with foreshadowing.

Oh yeah, they have nods to the original trilogy. "Coming to get you, Barbara." Music from Dawn of the Dead during Shaun's idea pitches to Ed. David going out the same way Captain Steele goes in Day of the Dead. Edgar Wright's video journal on the set for Land of the Dead is wholesome. Two buddies and complete nerds meeting one of their idols and having cameos.

[@trevellyann]

They do tell you how the outbreak happened! But it's really easily missed. During the first long take where Shaun is walking to the corner store, you hear the radio talking as he gets close to the store, and they're talking about something falling to earth from outer space, breaking apart, and the pieces landing all around their general area of England.

Fun part I found when I got the DVD of this movie. There are little drawing boards as to what happened to Diane after she opened the front door into the hoard of zombies and how Ed got to the shed in the end Apparently Diane survived after beating back the zombies with David’s leg before holing up in a tree out of reach just before the army came by to clear out the streets. Stayed there for few days in case the zombie thing was still an issue surviving off the meat of the leg. Before deeming it safe Ed got couple of shots off the zombies when they broke through the cellar and used them as camouflage when the rest of the zombies came in and the army shot them down as well. Ed tried to call out but passed out and died before becoming a zombie . Shawn found him and lured him back to his place afterwards

I can't believe not everyone has seen Shaun of the dead. It's absolutely a great movie. All the escapism you'll ever need.

[@MonkeyFarmFrankenstein]

I've used Shaun in my basic screenwriting class. David is a really well-written antagonist. You'll notice that he changes his strategies. He tries to sandbag Shaun until it's apparent that Liz is going along with him. Then he complains and undermines Shaun's leadership until Liz rebukes him. Then he tries to take over as more proactive. David 6 really develop as a character, exactly, but the nature of his antagonism changes subtly in a way that escalates the conflict but is also a logical trajectory for his character.

[@charlesedwards2856]

Ohhhh, that’s a very good analyzation. I never thought about it, just that he was consistently a dick.

[@civilizationcommittee6115]

​​​​@@charlesedwards2856 Yeah he may have been an obnoxious prick and a bit of a coward, but he wasn't malevolent or evil. He definitely didn't deserve to get mauled like that, that's for sure. He did have that punch coming from Shaun though.

The audio of the news reports foeshadowing things is actual British newscasters reading headlines from old George Romero zombie films. Legend has it that they were just handed their lines as actual news reports to do the pieces to camera or mike, and were only told afterwards.

Shaun works at Foree Electronic, which is a reference to Ken Foree, who starred in 1978 Dawn of the Dead! He said the iconic line "when there's no room left in hell, the dead will walk the earth." He's a super nice guy - I got to hang with him & other zombie film stars for a whole weekend in Pittsburgh some years ago. 😊 He & Tony Todd are class acts & really appreciate their fans.

[@stephenairey4952]

In terms of explaining the outbreak, there's a few that are thrown in throughout the film - a radio at the start mentions a radiation-spewing asteroid passing the atmosphere (reference to Night of the Living Dead), there's a newspaper headline about GM crops causing health issues, and the news report at the end states it could be down to infected monkeys (your subtitles say Rage-infected?

Fun Fact: This Movie actually has a lot of Easter Eggs referring to the Classic Zombie Movies made by Gerorge A. Romero. Like for Example, the Character Barbara, Shaun's Mom, is actually a whole Easter Egg referring to Barbara from "George A. Romero's Night of the Living Dead" and the whole Plot revolving around Shaun's Group going to the Winchester trying to survive there is basically just a very dumped down Re-Iteration of the Plot of "George A. Romero's Dawn of the Dead". Also, remember the little Boy at Shaun's House, that shot the Ball at Shaun even as a Zombie? Yeah, that's actually referring to a Plot Point in "Day of the Dead", were the Aspect of Zombies' Intelligence & Memories are explored a little more. In general, many Zombies in "Shaun of the Dead" were setup with that Reference in Mind. I could go on with This for Hours. But I think, You'll get the Point. "Shaun of the Dead" is definitely a Masterpiece in many Ways. Cinematography, Story, Comedy/Satire, References, Easter Eggs...it just delivers on Everything and so much more. I would even go as far to say, that it probably is the best Zombie Movie in general, but I also think, that could be kinda debatable here. ;-D

[@gal7753]

In the DVD there's a few extras that explain some things that happened offscreen. When Shaun led the zombies away from the pub, the dead were really all too slow to catch him at a shamble in the open street. So he stopped every so often to keep them following him, since they follow things only in direct line of sight. Then when he was ready to go back he ran into an alley and hopped into a dumpster until they all passed, then jumped back out and ran back. But one at the back spotted him and the rest of the horde followed that one in a straight line back to the pub. Diane actually survived running into the horde. She beat them all off with David's leg and then climbed a tree when she snapped out of it. She passed out when the army rolled through, stayed up there for a week eating the leg when she saw no people or zombies, and eventually climbed down and went home to her mom's. Ed wasn't torn apart like David because when the zombies busted in, he shot a couple with his final shells and they fell on top of him, hiding him from view when he passed out and turned alone with nothing motivating him to move. Until Shaun, after the hest died down, returned and found Ed still there in the basement. Whom he then led back home and into the shed using himself as bait with the same method above.

Probs my favourite movie alongside Titanic...perfectly executed and amazing script! loved your reaction

[@ESG151]

Literally watchied this over the weekend and it took me 20 years to realize that Pete showed up at the Winchester because Shaun told him exacrly where they would be during the shower scene xD. The layers on this movie. My favorite extra touch is on the DVD extras They show Diane survived by climbing up a tree xD

OMG, lmao!!! My adult daughter and I constantly use that phrase "dogs can't look up." Nobody else gets it lmao!!!

[@VadikoLasma]

20 years later and Shaun of the Dead is still amazing…

[@trickedouttech321]

This is one of my fav movies I watch it once a year for sure.

[@anitahargreaves9526]

Seen many times, loved your recap as seeing through fresh eyes. Thank you for sharing this. 👵🇬🇧👍

[@haruchai]

Something for you to watch out for, there is a reference to "Cornettos' in all of their movies.

[@Fr3nchFrise]

The staging and transitions in this film are great art.

[@amys4392]

I about peed myself laughing when I saw this in the movies and Sean pulled that damn shade down when he realized the zombies were at the back door and followed him.

[@mackeym10]

This is my favorite Zombie movie and might be my favorite horror movie

[@gailscrypto1536]

you got to do the cornetto trilogy- so many awesome british comedians and actors! then of course 'Paul' an honorary grouping to the other three and more USA style :) i think the other alternate group was a comment on how every friend group in the uk has a set of these characters in one form or another in it, and you got to remember the british pub is an institution - basically a second lounge and everyone has a 'local' lol

[@jasonnelms4556]

It's absolutely one of the most underrated zombie movies!

[@bengalinsky4300]

I live on the street they filmed much of this on. Nelson Road, Crouch End 💃

[@ItsTheLOCO]

The worlds end is a must watch if you like these two, it’s honestly one of the best films I’ve watched couldn’t recommend it enough

[@AdamusPrime76]

That kid that disrespected him at work is in hot fuzz as one of the “Andy’s”

[@timothyw98]

@@AdamusPrime76 He had a cameo in Worlds End where he was been given a house tour by Martin Freemans estate agent character.

[@clairegoldenberg2895]

I was here to tell you about Spaced, but I see other people beat me to it 😂

[@shawnjohnson2837]

They technically told you at the beginning what more than likely started the zombie apocalypse..a rogue comet

[@stuartarmstrong5190]

You have to watch The World's End now! Some people don't like it as much as the other two but I think it's pretty damn good (and I personally prefer it to Shaun of the Dead).

[@Busybethableable]

Y’all were so fun to watch and listen to!
