I'm in this movie. I used to drink with Michael Smiley who played Tyres from the Edgar Wright, Simon Pegg, Nick Frost and Jessica Stevenson show "Spaced", we're both Zombies outside The Winchester Tavern, I got paid a quid for the day then we all went out drinking in Soho still in make up. Seriously fun times. Simon Pegg is one of the nicest guys you'll ever meet, he introduced me to my lovely wife who also played a zombie in the film.

Fun facts: Shaun (Simon Pegg) and the woman who played Yvonne (Jessica Hynes), wrote a show years before this movie, called ‘Spaced’. Also, it had the same director, Edgar Wright, and Ed (Nick Frost) and Pete (Peter Serafinowicz) also starred in the show. Simon Pegg came up with the idea for the movie after there was an episode of ‘Spaced’ where his character had been playing ‘Resident Evil 2’ all night and dreamed that he was living in a zombie apocalypse.

this movie needs soooo many rewatches to get every little detail. the first morning of the zombie apocalypse is a exact repeat from the morning before. before everything started you can notice little things like the guy fainting or the guy eating the pigeons, ARMY trucks passing, hints in the news. the running gag about the "you got red" that starts with ink and ends up with blood. the flowers he bought for his mom ended up in her hands anyway. the trampoline jump to save his man was a homage to "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" almost everyone around Shawn on the first day ends up as a zombie. and many more things. Fun Fact: when Shawn slips in the store that first ZA morning, the slip was improvised by Pegg. it looked so funny that Wright kept it and added the sound in post production.

😎👍 As numerous other commenters have mentioned, this was the first movie in a trilogy that involves the same cast of actors, but playing different roles. The other two are "Hot Fuzz" (2007) and "The World's End" (2013), all directed by Edgar Wright. I'm glad to see you've decided to not cling too tightly to your original mission of watching every film listed on the IMDB's "Top 250." There simply aren't enough fun comedies of this nature on that list. 🧟♂ Another funny trilogy like this, that involves all the same actors playing different roles is "Waiting For Guffman" (1996), "Best In Show" (2000) and "A Mighty Wind" (2003). You might actually be familiar with some of the actors in those, as they're all either American or Canadian. You're always a blast to watch.

One obscure reference is when Shaun says "you've been to a lock-in" to Liz. Edgar Wright previously directed a music video for a song about lock-ins called After Hours by The Bluetones.

For those unaware of what a lock-in is... It's when a pub (bar) locks up (closes up) but allows regular customers to stay in and drink after the legal licensing hours. You get a lot more detail from the song and the video is based on Bugsy Malone.

Could have been terrible, but turned out to be surprisingly fun. * Dead Alive - An early move from Peter Jackson (Lord of the Rings). Utterly silly and over the top, and exceedingly gory in a variety of silly ways. * Night of the Living Dead (remake) - Directed by George Romero's f/x guy, Tom Savini, it's a really good update of the original zombie movie. * Fido - One of the most creative zombie movies out there, with a great performance from comedian Billy Connolly * Zombieland - A great road trip/odd couple/romcom/zombie movie.

My favourite joke in this is now lost in translation. its where ed is taking photos of Shaun and Mary the zombie, and after she falls it cuts to them stunned, not sure what to do, then ed starts rolling the camera to the next frame to take another photo before Shaun bats it away.

So happy you enjoyed this! This is a hilarious film and a wonderful homage to George A Romero's Zombie films. Some more trivia: When asked by an interviewer why they chose to have slow moving zombies instead of running zombies, Simon Pegg simply replied, "Because death is not an energy drink." 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 was "From Dusk till Shaun". 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. For more Zombie movies I also suggest the Night of the Living Dead remake from 1990, Dawn of the Dead from 1978 and Day of the Dead from 1985.

hello whimsory this is the first video of ours i have run across and i would just like to say that the editing is exceptional. you create very concise storytelling by cutting out the fat without leaving any story beats on the cutting room floor. I will definetly check out your channel. lol btw you do seem like a delightful young lad but the quality of your editor's work really grabbed my attention

A quintessential British comedy is The Full Monty. It's a perfect film and it's SO FUNNY

A) you don't need to worry about your eyebrows B) The guys who animated the music video for "Money for Nothing" went on to animate a little 90s CGI cartoon titled "ReBoot" the first fully CGI 30 minute animated series a year before Toy Story. It's a good show.

1/3 of the Corneto Trilogy...Try to watch PAUL, a Syfy comedy with the same two main actors and lots of guest stars.
@Xoferif6 ай бұрын
For me, Paul is the third part of the Cornetto trilogy. Not The World's End.

Great reaction 👍. You just went waay up in my estimations for that Dire Straits rant, Private Investigations is my favourite too it's the GOAT. Ps. The newscaster is a real UK newscaster, I howl with laughter watching someone so straight laced in a film like this 😂.

Synopsis… -Tickled Pickle -Throwing Dire Straits is rude. -Fart Jokes are funny. -Whimsory is NOT mature 😁 -Heartwarmingness is now a word -if you don’t climb trees, Whimsory will pout and think of you as dumb 😎. Anyway, thanks for the awesome reaction, stay safe and cheers 🍻! OH YES, you should think about watching Some Kind of Wonderful if you’ve not seen it. It’s fun and I think I’ve only seen one reaction to it on here.

I love that the whole backstory of what caused the zombie outbreak is played on the TVs in the background at Shaun's work but everyone in the show ignores it. I especially like the reporter saying the army was called in and truck roll by and then a few seconds later they roll by the shop showing they are at ground zero.

this film is a homage to zombie movies, and it is a legit zombie movie as well, the place shaun mention the place that does all the fish, is name fulci, which is a very prolific film maker who did zombi. a zombie movie. if you notice everything is fore shadowed, and comes back

A Spanish-Cuban Zombie comedy from 2010, Juan de los Muertos (Juan of the Dead) was apparently inspired by Shaun of the Dead--going so far as to reference the 2004 film in it's title. Also a fun watch.

The scene in the back gardens where the two groups of survivors pass each other. The other group is a who's who of British comedic acting talent - Martin Freeman, Reece Shearsmith, Tamsin Greig, Jessica Hynes, etc

'Hot Fuzz' is defly the best of the Cornetto trilogy ('World's End' is a bit disappointing), but they did another movie, 'Paul', which was a real labour of love. Simon Pegg and Nick Frost (Shaun and Ed) are best friends in real life, and are also massive nerds, so in 'Paul' (which is about an alien who has escaped from Area 51) they are really just playing themselves. I'd love to watch your reaction to that one! 🥰

Great reaction! I discovered you at the "Poppie Awards" at Popcorn in bed. Your two personality clip was funny as hell. You're very creative. Good job! By the way "Love over gold" is one of the records I would take to an island to live for the rest of my life, if I had to.

These guys made a series before this called Spaced. It's really funny. You should definitely give it a look if you can find it.

Top work as always. I too will defend Dire Straits and Prince's Batman soundtrack (although the Elfman score for that film is even better). Looking forward to you getting to that one eventually

Several actors, including Sean, Ed, Yvonne, Pete, and a couple of random zombies, were in a TV series called "Spaced" also directed by Edgar Wright. Great show, too bad there were only like 14 episodes.

He officially stopped being Prince, as per his own proclamation, in 1993, and was called “Tne Artist Formerly Known as Prince”. After he died of fentanyl overdose in 2016, his estate began issuing unreleased material posthumously. So if you never heard that he died then you might think he was still alive and kicking because he was still making records.

He changed his name to an unpronounceable symbol in 1993 during a contract dispute with his record company. He changed it back to Prince in 2000, after he changed record labels.
