@@uosdwiSrdewoH not really, I’d say it’s very cultural. I’d guess it probably goes back to post war britain when everything was heavily rationed and if you had a small cut or injury it wasn’t feasible for one to get antiseptic etc. in the US they never had rationing like that so their parents generation probably never “ran it under a cold tap”. Also, I don’t even think they call it a tap! Lol I think they call it a faucet.
@@goldboy150 often times running a wound even semi serious wounds under a running tap water is better than using any antiseptic, depending on the severity but I’ve had major deep slash cuts that were fine just using mild soap around the edges and running the wound under water for 10 mins twice a day
@@datiger39 Yes, soap and warm water come first. Alcohol and peroxide are only necessary if you think the wound is severely infected or prone to reinfection. The reason for this is alcohol and peroxide will prevent healing by drying out the wound and this will result in bad scarring, which also keeps the wound open and prone to getting infected later. Water also flushes out any substances much better than a bit of alcohol. Unless you have 6 bottles of alcohol to continuous run your wound under, water is essentially the best way to flush a wound. A touch of alcohol at the end and a dressing is the best way to close it up. Often wounds are left open so the remaining infection can push its way out. Dressings are usually better than stitching up a wound if the bleeding is controlled, but this will also leave worse scarring. There is ointment to counteract this, however.
The annoying Harry Potter character is played by Dylan Moran - a genius standup comedian and also the co-creator and star of "Black Books" a wonderfully bizarre comedy series that would be worth checking out - although I realise you have an enormous playlist :)
Yes, Dylan Moran kind of has a not so great role in this movie. He is brilliant in Black Books, as are his co-stars. The episodes are short though so maybe it is doable!
@@PrimeCircuit I think Dylan Moran showed his acting skill by being just what he was cast as - an annoying arsehole. But yes, Black Books episodes are only 25 minutes long so could do a series of them. :)
Funny how he's a completely incompetent self-absorbed whiny arse in this movie and it's insufferable. Yet he's a completely incompetent self-absorbed _drunk_ arse in Black Books and it's brilliantly funny, even endearing.
The real connective tissue of the Cornetto Trilogy is that they are all genre parodies, and the same basic creative team and some of the core cast. This one is obviously horror, and it corresponds to the strawberry flavor for the red. I'll let the rest of it be a surprise. I agree with the consensus that Hot Fuzz, the next one, is the best of the series, but I will diverge from people who say the last one is the weakest. Simone gave praise to Pegg's performance in this, but I think The World's End might be his best acting work of all. It is a bit rougher around the edges -- I think they had busier careers and thus had less time to polish and perfect it, and people seem perplexed by the ending (the pieces are all there, the execution could be clearer), but I think it's better than it gets credit for.

What's app beautiful to me about this film is that the zombies retain their most basic instincts. This implies that Ed's most basic instincts is to be Shaun's friend.
The trilogy of films is actually called Three Flavours Cornetto trilogy. At first it was a joke, but all three films have themes in common. The name originates from a joke during the promotion of Hot Fuzz. Wright had written in Cornetto ice cream as a hangover cure for Frost's character in Shaun of the Dead, based on his own experiences. At the after party for the film, they received free Cornetto ice creams so Wright and Pegg decided to include another reference to Cornetto in their next film in a failed attempt to get more free ice cream. In Hot Fuzz, Wright included a couple of brief throwaway scenes that referred to the Cornetto joke in Shaun. On the promotional tour of Hot Fuzz during production of The World's End, one interviewer pointed out the use of Cornetto in the first two films, and Wright jokingly said that they represent a trilogy comparable to Krzysztof Kieślowski's Three Colours film trilogy.
I've just watched Ashleigh as well. I find these reaction videos strangely addictive and subscibe to a few channels. Cinebinge is one of my favourites for sure.
@@JeffKelly03 That's completely on purpose. They don't pick movies out of a hat. There's a very good reason why everyone seems to watch the same movies. Money. They check what's trending popular for the algorithm to make sure the video gets in front of as many people as possible. The fact that most of them also have patreon pages is quite frustrating. There's a real opportunity to watch something that wasn't a massive hit or has since gained a loyal cult following and maybe introduce something new to audiences. I like Ashley as a person and this isn't unique to her. Once reactors get popular, assuming they weren't doing this from the start because some do, it sometime feels like they're pandering to their audience. A lot of over the top reactions that are playing to the crowd. They also make sure to mention numerous times how little knowledge they have about the movie which is going a bit too far. We don't watch movies in a vacuum. We go because they sound interesting or have someone we like in them. So why do these channels go out of their way to tell you they're completely ignorant heading into what they're about to watch. Ashleigh just watched Galaxy Quest, for example. It can work on it's own but if you have a better understanding of the culture surrounding Trek and the fandom it's that much better and if anyone had bothered to do a quick search they could spend a few minutes seeing what it's all about so the movie will be that much better. Instead there ends up being more confusion about what's going on. For me, a reaction channel should have the feeling of sitting with your friends and checking out a movie you've all heard about but just never got around to watching. I even have a perfect real world example. Back when Kiss Kiss Bang Bang came out I saw it and loved it but nobody else I knew went to see it. So once it was out on DVD I set up a movie night and watched them all see a brilliant movie for the first time. It was so much fun hearing everyone chat through the movie. We'd talked about it prior to watching so they knew what to expect and were able to appreciate the nuance of the film more. That's how it should be. I do like the chat a little for some movies on this channel which is why I come back every so often. But I couldn't help but notice that their patreon let's you vote on which movie to watch and see full length commentaries but that's very basic. There isn't any special patreon fan way to talk about the movies with them and get more of what they thought. Also as far as I can tell they never reply to anyone in the comment section. There's the occasional like but that's it. So why is their patreon so pricey compared to others who chat i the comments and have their own discord to get in on so you can actually talk to the people making the videos. They are completely isolated from their audience and it doesn't sit well. I'm sure they're nice people but this disconnect between them and their audience is a little bizarre. Is this purely a money gig. If they were really interested in movies why not create a place for discussion?
Pegg and Wright have always insisted that this wasn't a spoof zombie movie, it was a romantic comedy which happened to take place in a zombie apocalypse. It's a romzomcom. And yes, you have to watch the other two movies now. In fact, any Edgar Wright movie is a good bet! In fact, in fact, if you've never seen the TV series Spaced, watch that, too!
A note on Dianne: she doesn't actually die after charging out of the Winchester wielding David's leg. It's stated in a DVD extra that she survived by climbing a tree and she stayed there for several days eating the remains of David's severed leg before climbing down and moving to Birmingham.
One of my favourite thing about this film is the cameos, almost every minor part is played by a week known British actor/personality be it the news caster who is a week known one for Sky News, to the 'group crossover' part where all of the secondary group is pretty much an Easter egg cameo related to the main set. Just missing a Bill Bailey.
This film is actually based on a single shot from the Simon Peg comedy show called 'Spaced' Has nick frost (his best friend in this) and the same director. The female leader of the other gang is also in it actually. It's really good you should definitely check it out The 'harry potter' guy is Dylan Moran another great comedian with a shoe called black books. Also worth watching. It's hilarious
A whole episode, rather than just one scene, but yeah :) that's where the "dogs can't look up" joke is from, as well. Deffo recommend watching - maybe just try that one episode and see how you get on. (Series 1, episode 3 "Art") 👍
This movie got the greatest praise that a zombie movie could get. Romero said in an interview that this was his favourate zombie movie that he didn't make. However, the main thing I wanted too say... as a lover of zombie stuff and a fellow Canadian, there is a Canadian zombie-comedy called "Fido" (with some surprisingly big names including Carrie Anne-Moss) that I think you will enjoy.
I can't help feeling like a zombie apocalypse wouldn't really do much to Canada. Once you get about 200 miles north in that country, the human population basically almost tapers out of existence, entirely. If a zombie plague ever broke out in our world, Canada is the direction I would run in. Lots of open space. Plenty of places to hide.
@@jacob4920 North would be safe, yes. At least from the undead. Fido though doesn't take place in Canada, just made in Canada. We have a lot of media like that... enough there is a whole trope about it on TV tropes page... "There is no Canada".
omg _Fido_ is so good! I strongly recommend it. I also really liked _Aaah! Zombies!!_ (also titled _Wasting Away_ in some markets). It’s not amazing or anything, but they put an interesting twist on it (the protagonists are the zombies, who think everyone else is infected with a virus that makes them move super-fast).
great movie as always from Edgar Wright :) my favorite 2 movies from him are Hot Fuzz and Scott Pilgrim you really have to watch Hot Fuzz :) It's IMO even better than this one
@@PadreDePato I tried to watch it again and couldn't get very far into it because I forgot Spacey was in it and like, eww no. But I do remember it being a great movie from the first time I saw it. If you're the sort who can put that kind of thing to the back of your mind then you could enjoy it. For me it's too distracting. Good thing I can enjoy these other movies, I love the director's style. It got so copied by like, adverts and stuff for a while, and nobody else could make it anything but supremely annoying, but Wright makes it fun.
These three movies are always the "Choice of the moment" whenever they come up in my perusal of cable channels. I will always watch them over anything else. Simon Peg is in my top 5 comedic actors of all time. And yes Simone, the Cornetto Ice Cream is the only thing that ties these movies together; they are separate stories with mostly the same actors.
Dylan Moran is awesome! His early standup specials just kills me everytime. It's been mentioned before, but you really should watch Black Books, starring him and Bill Bailey (another fantastic comedian).
Oh man I love the Cornetto trilogy! Hot fuzz is my favorite, but the World's End holds such a special meaning to me. I so want you to see all of them! And Wright is such a meticulous director that you may have to watch the movies multiple times just to catch everything and every joke
the attention to detail is awesome. the bit where shaun discovers his room mate in the shower, notice hes scolded down one side standing in the shower so long, beautiful
2:51 I gained a whole new appreciation for this scene after working at a gas station for a while. I'm a friendly dude, so.. if you get beer 96% of the time, the 4% of the time you don't, I'm gonna say "What's on the go? Not thirsty today?!"
So the one armed zombie was actually played by someone with one arm. Also all the zombies that ripped David apart were played by people from the props department to make sure the fake body they made came apart properly.
There is a group called "Amputees In Action" if I recall correctly that work on films to enable limbs etc to be torn off or otherwise removed. They've done fairly well out of zombie films!
This movie features a cavalcade of great British comics, including Reece Shearsmith from The League of Gentlemen. That show needs to be seen to be believed.
This was a paraody of the original Dawn of the Dead. The opening scene of Shaun's feet is a copy of the opening of Day of the Dead. They consulted with George Romero and he loved the movie. He even gave them bit parts in City of the Dead.
Shaun of the Dead. Hot Fuzz. The World's End. The Cornetto trilogy. Let's go!! 0:25 - "Cornetto to me sounds like a trumpet." - in New Zealand we have an ice cream product called Trumpet. It's basically the same as a Cornetto, a cone-shaped wafer filled with ice cream.
awesome coinsedence! i was you on the thumb nail, and thought : "I should check to see if they've done Shaun of the Dead!" and then i read the title HAHAH!
Fun Fact: Ed describes the entire movie during the breakup talk! The day begins with them meeting Mary who’s bloody, they have a “bite at the Kings Head” when Phillip is bitten, then “a couple at the little princess” is Shaun and Ed saving Liz and her friends who are a couple, then they literally stagger back to the Winchester, then they have “shots” which is them shooting at zombies!
After the Cornetto trilogy, you should watch Paul. It's with Simon Pegg and Nick Frost and it's their take on 70s/80s sci fi movies. An unofficial 4th movie in the series
I think it's called the Cornetto trilogy because the director of the films, Edgar Wright, said his hangover cure was a Diet Coke and a Cornetto (which is what we see Shaun get from the shop).
I would recommend checking out Shaun of the Dead Plot Holes. It shows how Shaun gave the zombies the slip, recovered Zombie Ed, and how Diane survived after she tried to rescue discount Harry Potter!
So many easter eggs in Edgar Wright movies. The line that kicks off the the zombies in Night of the Living Dead is "They're coming to get you Barbara" and "we're coming to get you Barbara" kicks off the action in this film as well. I feel like you're going to love the Cornetto Trilogy; the ice cream is the only thing that really connects the movies.
A Cornetto was the hangover cure of a friend of Pegg's or the Director, Edgar Wright. They just decided to write it into the film and then the next, and next.
Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz and The Worlds End are only a trilogy insofar as they have similar themes, visuals and comedic stylings and are all centred on the team up of Edgar Wright, Simon Pegg and Nick Frost as well as a conga line of big British TV and film actors. The characters and stories are totally unrelated to each other. Hot Fuzz is one of my all-time favourite films, looking forward to you seeing it.
The music that plays when Ed and Shaun are planning out what they're gonna do is from the original Dawn of the Dead and of course the classic "We're coming to get you Barbara!"
On scene of Shaun in pub affer breakup, it is the theme for MASH, wich is 'Suicide is Painless', implying that his life sucks so suicide is an option to consider.
Almost every bit in the first half is reprised in the second half. So many lines are taken from classic horror and zombie movies. When they are going to get Shaun's mom, he shouts, we're coming to get you Barbara! This is a reprisal of the opening scene of Night of the Living Dead when the brother, teasing his sister says, "They're coming to get you Barbara!"
Genuinely pleased you've reacted to this movie, all three are the kind of films to re-watch too, there is so much going on in them. Don't get dragged into "which one is best" they're all completely different but great. Keep em coming guys
Love how edds drink related dialogue in the pub predicted the events of the next day, a bloody Mary (girl in the garden) stab at the Kings head (shauns dad phillip) grab a couple at the little princess (liz and her friends) back to the Winchester for shots (bar and shooting zombies)...... also shauns flat mate to edd why don't you go live in the shed... which edd doe's end up doing
FINALLY!! As a "Not-Patreon" I know I dont have to make any suggestions with just a tiny, little chance to get listen. But for months I think: "Why nobody suggest the Cornetto Collection" So here it is. Of course now I am waiting for "Hot Fuzz" and "The Worlds End" Except "Demolition Man" the best movie on this channel for weeks. Thumbs up!
Cornetto trilogy - red in this to resemble blood. Black/brown to resemble cops in hot Fuzz. Green to resemble Aliens in the world's end. It's a "spoof" of sorts, more of a homage to the "of the dead" Romero series Plus, in dvd extras/comics it shows you how Ed wasn't ripped apart, how Diane survived and the whole Shaun getting away but not totally thing
FUN FACT: Diane survives! The special features explain that while the zombies entering the pub where so distracted with the noise coming from inside they didn't notice Diane eventually crawling on the ground and eventually getting herself up a tree across the street! FR look it up 😂🤣
The way David is pulled apart is similar to one of the deaths in either Dawn of the Dead or Day of the Dead and "We're coming for you Barbara" is a parody of the line from Night of the Living Dead, also the Newsflesh Trilogy is about a Political Election twenty years after a Zombie takeover, but people learned from watching Zombie movies what to do
George's face at the disembowlment of 'twat'. Eyes glued to the screen. SOTD is my go-to for GIFs. You can pretty much cover all your needs from this movie. everyone talks about the trilogy, but Paul should get a shout out too!
Btw, before watching Hot Fuzz, I recommend watching Point Break (and Bad Boys II). It is not a requirement, but there are few scenes that make a lot more sense if you saw those movies. And Point Break especially is a great movie on its own.
13:53 -- keep that fence scene in mind, when you watch the rest of the "Cornetto Trilogy". "Low-budget Harry Potter" -- I love that insult. The entire course of that day was spelled out the night before by Ed. The "Bloody Mary" was the girl in the garden.
17:15 this part - while staying hilarious like the rest of this film, is actually the scariest moment in my opinion. They are truly fucked, We know it, He knows it. this scene is pure horror, especially on first viewing. also Simon Pegg's performance is a Gem
The trilogy are all parodies of different movie genres, and made with and by the same group of people, and each had a Cornetto of a color to go with the theme. (Ice cream cone like a drumstick)
The idea of Zombies does exist in this universe, as they're so hesitant to use the Zed word. But they're not real in this universe (until the movie) so they're not considered zombies at first, hence the officials needing to explain that these infected people need to be brained to keep them down. They're considered Zombies by the end as they refer to the event as Zed Day. It's also got elements of Andromeda Strain and Night of the Comet (a personal fave), particularly where the virus comes from.
I'd like to interrupt the convo and put in a word for "Paul" (2011) Great reactions! Funny and it's great to watch you guys having so much fun with a movie we all love!
Each movie is different. Only things in common is the Cornetto ice cream cameo and they star Simon Pegg and Nick Frost. Also the themes are fairly similar also. Seriously need to watch the others though. They're amazing!
Apparently, it's actually a rule in zombie shows that they have no idea what pop culture zombies are. That's why any modern and serious zombie flick don't refer to the undead as "zombies". :D
the cornetto has s bigger link behind it than you think. this was strawberry cornetto as its red like blood, there is a blue cornetto for hot fuzz (thin blue line, blue is the colour of the police) and green well that would be a spoiler :p
This movie works even better if you've seen George Romeros original Dead trilogy, Night of the Living Dead '68, Dawn of the Dead '78, Day of the Dead '85. It's a big love letter to Romero filled with Easter eggs, dialogue, and music from his films. George was the first person Edgar Wright showed this too when it was finished... he loved it.
Always thought this movie was the single best slow-build to a zombie apocalypse ever shown. Just the little news clips and radio broadcasts in the background, the small random events like "running guy" and "weird homeless guy".
I can relate to Pete. One of my housemates insists on leaving the door open all night and I cannot fathom why. He goes outside to smoke for an hour or two then when he comes in he just leaves the door wide open. The house owner lives upstairs and though I didn't hear it I came into the room while she was there talking to the guy and she asked me if I knew who it was. Clearly he decided to lie about something that wasn't such a big deal which still confuses me. What was he trying to hide? I didn't want to snitch so I said I didn't know. The owner said she'd get a security camera set up which is probably why he stopped leaving the door open for a few weeks. It's now 4am and the front door is still open. While I'm complaining, when he goes outside he makes himself an instant coffee first. He passes within arm's reach of the bin and since he's making something he also has to throw something out so he is always aware how full they are. Do you suppose he ever takes it out? If you guessed not you'd be correct. I'll go to the kitchen just after he goes outside sometimes and the thing is overflowing with rubbish. That's bad enough. What makes it so much worse is that he also passes within a couple of metres of the bins to access his smoking area. Then once he's finished he actually goes over to them and puts all his cigarette butts in there. It would take barely any extra effort on his part to take the bin out but it always ends up being me. If I go out while he's there and look over at him he'll turn himself away so he can't look me in the eyes. Also instead of putting away the dry plates and food making items that other people (3 more down here not including me) have left in the drying rack he puts the stuff he just washed into the second sink and then that piles up as well as the other stuff on the rack. I have never known someone who will go to such lengths to avoid doing a single chore. I would almost rather a zombie. Then at least I'd know why he chose to do so many stupid things instead of taking two seconds to tidy up the common areas. Other people are the worst.
Dylan Moran (the sad Harry Potter) is a great actor. My personal favorite part of him is in the TV show Black Books where he plays an evil, annoyed bookstore owner.
"They're so pale" "Is that because they're dead?" Nah. They're English. And Dianne survived too. It's in the DVD extras
Was about to comment that as wellxD
I've been watching this movie for almost 20 years and didn't know she lived. Good to know!
😊Really!? Glad to know that!!
Weird that they did that for the DVD extras, because as I recall it the writers tied the secondary characters' names to their fates--Ed's dead, Liz lives, Phil's killed--and Di dies.
Am English. Can confirm.
The "it's alright Barbara, I ran it under the cold tap" was pretty much the cure for anything when I was wee. Always makes me laugh.
Genuinely one of the best lines in the entire film.

I agree with this whole heartedly, good take.
I know Paul isn't part of the trilogy but also is worth a watch I think!
People say World's End is weak? I love that installment just as much as the other two!
Wasn't a fan of the next 2 at all, it peaked with this imo.
You should watch Hot Fuzz next. It's the best out of the three.
💯 Percent True!!!
"The World's End" is sadly more my personal story, but "Hot Fuzz" is the GOAT of the Cornetto trilogy.
Then watch it again, because it's so much fun the second time when you recognize all the little easter egg references to what's coming
i love hot fuzz, its so damn good
Agreed. Although I don't think that The World's End deserves some of the criticism it gets.

Once reactors get popular, assuming they weren't doing this from the start because some do, it sometime feels like they're pandering to their audience. A lot of over the top reactions that are playing to the crowd. They also make sure to mention numerous times how little knowledge they have about the movie which is going a bit too far. We don't watch movies in a vacuum. We go because they sound interesting or have someone we like in them. So why do these channels go out of their way to tell you they're completely ignorant heading into what they're about to watch. Ashleigh just watched Galaxy Quest, for example. It can work on it's own but if you have a better understanding of the culture surrounding Trek and the fandom it's that much better and if anyone had bothered to do a quick search they could spend a few minutes seeing what it's all about so the movie will be that much better. Instead there ends up being more confusion about what's going on. For me, a reaction channel should have the feeling of sitting with your friends and checking out a movie you've all heard about but just never got around to watching. I even have a perfect real world example. Back when Kiss Kiss Bang Bang came out I saw it and loved it but nobody else I knew went to see it. So once it was out on DVD I set up a movie night and watched them all see a brilliant movie for the first time. It was so much fun hearing everyone chat through the movie. We'd talked about it prior to watching so they knew what to expect and were able to appreciate the nuance of the film more. That's how it should be. I do like the chat a little for some movies on this channel which is why I come back every so often. But I couldn't help but notice that their patreon let's you vote on which movie to watch and see full length commentaries but that's very basic. There isn't any special patreon fan way to talk about the movies with them and get more of what they thought. Also as far as I can tell they never reply to anyone in the comment section. There's the occasional like but that's it. So why is their patreon so pricey compared to others who chat i the comments and have their own discord to get in on so you can actually talk to the people making the videos. They are completely isolated from their audience and it doesn't sit well. I'm sure they're nice people but this disconnect between them and their audience is a little bizarre. Is this purely a money gig. If they were really interested in movies why not create a place for discussion?
Pegg and Wright have always insisted that this wasn't a spoof zombie movie, it was a romantic comedy which happened to take place in a zombie apocalypse. It's a romzomcom.
And yes, you have to watch the other two movies now. In fact, any Edgar Wright movie is a good bet! In fact, in fact, if you've never seen the TV series Spaced, watch that, too!
I just rewatched Spaced and I still love it. It’s not for everyone but you can see the team laying the groundwork for these movies.

Oi Oi! You lucky people!
I tried watching that and I just didn't get it. It didn't even seem like it was trying to be funny to me.
@@3DJapan For me there was at least one laugh-out-loud funny moment in every episode. I can understand how anyone could feel it's not for them.
A note on Dianne: she doesn't actually die after charging out of the Winchester wielding David's leg. It's stated in a DVD extra that she survived by climbing a tree and she stayed there for several days eating the remains of David's severed leg before climbing down and moving to Birmingham.
Don't forget staying in Christmas Card contact with Shaun and Liz.
Moving to brum is a fate worse than death
Incidentally, Pete is the voice of Darth Maul in The Phantom Menace.
and Amazon Primes "The Tick".
One of my favourite thing about this film is the cameos, almost every minor part is played by a week known British actor/personality be it the news caster who is a week known one for Sky News, to the 'group crossover' part where all of the secondary group is pretty much an Easter egg cameo related to the main set. Just missing a Bill Bailey.
Replying purely to acknowledge that magnificent fada usage. Absolute genius.
@@NialasDubh the decoy fadas are there to protect the Queen fada
@@ThreadBomb Nobody tells me nothin' :)
And each of the secondary group was arguably at the time more famous than the original cast. amazing scene
This film is actually based on a single shot from the Simon Peg comedy show called 'Spaced'
Has nick frost (his best friend in this) and the same director. The female leader of the other gang is also in it actually. It's really good you should definitely check it out
The 'harry potter' guy is Dylan Moran another great comedian with a shoe called black books. Also worth watching. It's hilarious
@@chand911 well yes. Based on.
They came up with the idea of doing a zombie movie from a scene in spaced
A whole episode, rather than just one scene, but yeah :) that's where the "dogs can't look up" joke is from, as well.
Deffo recommend watching - maybe just try that one episode and see how you get on. (Series 1, episode 3 "Art") 👍
This movie got the greatest praise that a zombie movie could get. Romero said in an interview that this was his favourate zombie movie that he didn't make.
However, the main thing I wanted too say... as a lover of zombie stuff and a fellow Canadian, there is a Canadian zombie-comedy called "Fido" (with some surprisingly big names including Carrie Anne-Moss) that I think you will enjoy.
Oh, and George, check out "Rebuild 3". Amazing small studio game that takes place in the Seattle-Vancouver area.
I can't help feeling like a zombie apocalypse wouldn't really do much to Canada. Once you get about 200 miles north in that country, the human population basically almost tapers out of existence, entirely. If a zombie plague ever broke out in our world, Canada is the direction I would run in. Lots of open space. Plenty of places to hide.
@@jacob4920 North would be safe, yes. At least from the undead. Fido though doesn't take place in Canada, just made in Canada. We have a lot of media like that... enough there is a whole trope about it on TV tropes page... "There is no Canada".
@@RedKytten fido is an AMAZING film.
omg _Fido_ is so good! I strongly recommend it. I also really liked _Aaah! Zombies!!_ (also titled _Wasting Away_ in some markets). It’s not amazing or anything, but they put an interesting twist on it (the protagonists are the zombies, who think everyone else is infected with a virus that makes them move super-fast).
great movie as always from Edgar Wright :)
my favorite 2 movies from him are Hot Fuzz and Scott Pilgrim
you really have to watch Hot Fuzz :)
It's IMO even better than this one
Hot Fuzz is amazing. Best movie in the trilogy, and one of my all-time favorite comedies.
I totally agree. My favorite of the three.
Baby Driver is awesome toooooooo
Love Baby Driver
@@PadreDePato I tried to watch it again and couldn't get very far into it because I forgot Spacey was in it and like, eww no. But I do remember it being a great movie from the first time I saw it. If you're the sort who can put that kind of thing to the back of your mind then you could enjoy it. For me it's too distracting. Good thing I can enjoy these other movies, I love the director's style. It got so copied by like, adverts and stuff for a while, and nobody else could make it anything but supremely annoying, but Wright makes it fun.
These three movies are always the "Choice of the moment" whenever they come up in my perusal of cable channels. I will always watch them over anything else. Simon Peg is in my top 5 comedic actors of all time. And yes Simone, the Cornetto Ice Cream is the only thing that ties these movies together; they are separate stories with mostly the same actors.
You say that, but the actor who plays the Cornetto is recast every movie.
Dylan Moran is awesome! His early standup specials just kills me everytime. It's been mentioned before, but you really should watch Black Books, starring him and Bill Bailey (another fantastic comedian).
Oh man I love the Cornetto trilogy! Hot fuzz is my favorite, but the World's End holds such a special meaning to me. I so want you to see all of them! And Wright is such a meticulous director that you may have to watch the movies multiple times just to catch everything and every joke
That bit with the tether ball is one of the funniest things I've ever seen. It still gets me no matter how many times I've seen this movie.
An absolute classic. I still lose myself everytime i watch this . All the best from Scotland 🏴
The "Harry Potter looking guy" is hilarious on a show called "Black Books."
the attention to detail is awesome. the bit where shaun discovers his room mate in the shower, notice hes scolded down one side standing in the shower so long, beautiful
2:51 I gained a whole new appreciation for this scene after working at a gas station for a while. I'm a friendly dude, so.. if you get beer 96% of the time, the 4% of the time you don't, I'm gonna say "What's on the go? Not thirsty today?!"
So the one armed zombie was actually played by someone with one arm. Also all the zombies that ripped David apart were played by people from the props department to make sure the fake body they made came apart properly.
There is a group called "Amputees In Action" if I recall correctly that work on films to enable limbs etc to be torn off or otherwise removed. They've done fairly well out of zombie films!
The best movie ever. Every line pays off, every scene is perfect.
Really needed this today….thanks for the laughs and being so awesome you two.
This movie features a cavalcade of great British comics, including Reece Shearsmith from The League of Gentlemen. That show needs to be seen to be believed.
1:02 George is always thinking. Always.
This was a paraody of the original Dawn of the Dead. The opening scene of Shaun's feet is a copy of the opening of Day of the Dead. They consulted with George Romero and he loved the movie. He even gave them bit parts in City of the Dead.
the actress that plays dianne, also plays sabrinas aunt hilda in the chilling adventures of sabrina
I had to nod when Simone said "it sounds like trumpet" because we have ice cream cone called trumpet that's just like cornetto in NZ.
All of the news anchors shown in this are legit news anchors in Britain so it's a lot of fun watching them give news on a zombie outbreak
0:25: Funny you should say that Simone. In NZ there's an ice-cream cone called "Trumpet" for that exact reason
Don't forget "Paul" (2011), which also stars Simon Pegg and Nick Frost. 😃
Paul is better than all of the trilogy flicks.
Shaun of the Dead.
Hot Fuzz.
The World's End.
The Cornetto trilogy. Let's go!!
0:25 - "Cornetto to me sounds like a trumpet." - in New Zealand we have an ice cream product called Trumpet. It's basically the same as a Cornetto, a cone-shaped wafer filled with ice cream.
If we are doing Edgar Wright films - please do Baby Driver!
extra fun to watch with you two
awesome coinsedence! i was you on the thumb nail, and thought : "I should check to see if they've done Shaun of the Dead!"
and then i read the title HAHAH!
"low budget harry potter" is actually a really fantastic comedian Dylan Moran, I highly recommend his standup sets
Hot Fuzz is brilliant
Hot Fuzz is one of the great screenplays of the 21st century. And Edgar Wright’s editing is so freaking good.
7:46 Well don't open the _blinds,_ Ed! They've _seen_ you, now!
Fun Fact: Ed describes the entire movie during the breakup talk! The day begins with them meeting Mary who’s bloody, they have a “bite at the Kings Head” when Phillip is bitten, then “a couple at the little princess” is Shaun and Ed saving Liz and her friends who are a couple, then they literally stagger back to the Winchester, then they have “shots” which is them shooting at zombies!
After the Cornetto trilogy, you should watch Paul. It's with Simon Pegg and Nick Frost and it's their take on 70s/80s sci fi movies. An unofficial 4th movie in the series
I think it's called the Cornetto trilogy because the director of the films, Edgar Wright, said his hangover cure was a Diet Coke and a Cornetto (which is what we see Shaun get from the shop).
I would recommend checking out Shaun of the Dead Plot Holes. It shows how Shaun gave the zombies the slip, recovered Zombie Ed, and how Diane survived after she tried to rescue discount Harry Potter!
fun fact that Theres a comic to this as a sequel and the girl who runs out the pub survives by climbing a tree
So many easter eggs in Edgar Wright movies. The line that kicks off the the zombies in Night of the Living Dead is "They're coming to get you Barbara" and "we're coming to get you Barbara" kicks off the action in this film as well. I feel like you're going to love the Cornetto Trilogy; the ice cream is the only thing that really connects the movies.
A Cornetto was the hangover cure of a friend of Pegg's or the Director, Edgar Wright. They just decided to write it into the film and then the next, and next.
Glad you liked this movie. I think it's a classic. The American flipside to this is "Return of the Living Dead" well worth checking out.
A cornetto is not a brass instrument, but a cornet is - I played one for a few years as a kid.
Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz and The Worlds End are only a trilogy insofar as they have similar themes, visuals and comedic stylings and are all centred on the team up of Edgar Wright, Simon Pegg and Nick Frost as well as a conga line of big British TV and film actors. The characters and stories are totally unrelated to each other.
Hot Fuzz is one of my all-time favourite films, looking forward to you seeing it.
I love all the references to other films in this film--Dawn of the Dead, obviously, but also Night of the Living Dead and Reservoir Dogs.
The music that plays when Ed and Shaun are planning out what they're gonna do is from the original Dawn of the Dead and of course the classic "We're coming to get you Barbara!"
everytime i hear this queen song now i always think of that scence
A cornet is indeed a musical instrument.
On scene of Shaun in pub affer breakup, it is the theme for MASH, wich is 'Suicide is Painless', implying that his life sucks so suicide is an option to consider.
Jumping over the backyard fences is also referenced in Hot Fuzz. You gotta do that next.
Almost every bit in the first half is reprised in the second half.
So many lines are taken from classic horror and zombie movies.
When they are going to get Shaun's mom, he shouts, we're coming to get you Barbara!
This is a reprisal of the opening scene of Night of the Living Dead when the brother, teasing his sister says, "They're coming to get you Barbara!"
Genuinely pleased you've reacted to this movie, all three are the kind of films to re-watch too, there is so much going on in them. Don't get dragged into "which one is best" they're all completely different but great. Keep em coming guys
Love how edds drink related dialogue in the pub predicted the events of the next day, a bloody Mary (girl in the garden) stab at the Kings head (shauns dad phillip) grab a couple at the little princess (liz and her friends) back to the Winchester for shots (bar and shooting zombies)...... also shauns flat mate to edd why don't you go live in the shed... which edd doe's end up doing
I loved how long it took for Shaun to notice the zombies cause he is droning through life a zombie himself
FINALLY!! As a "Not-Patreon" I know I dont have to make any suggestions with just a tiny, little chance to get listen. But for months I think: "Why nobody suggest the Cornetto Collection" So here it is. Of course now I am waiting for "Hot Fuzz" and "The Worlds End" Except "Demolition Man" the best movie on this channel for weeks. Thumbs up!
You need to watch Spaced, a British sitcom which Simon Pegg, Edgar Wright and Nick Frost worked on. One episode served as the inspiration for this.
Edgar Wright is a wonder with his transitions and writing, you guys picked a good one.😂😅👍
When the guy comes into their house and Shaun is like “ew for gods sake he’s got an arm off! Get him!” 😂
"They're so pale..."
That's the UK weather for you, no tanning.
I'm surprised you guys didn't recognize "annoying guy" Dylan Moran. He's a great stand up comedian and star of comedy series Black Books.
the scene where the guy gets ripped in half is a common trope of zombie movies.
I guarantee the zombies outside the pub didn't hear the game. They just heard Shaun and Liz's scream!
Cornetto trilogy - red in this to resemble blood. Black/brown to resemble cops in hot Fuzz. Green to resemble Aliens in the world's end.
It's a "spoof" of sorts, more of a homage to the "of the dead" Romero series
Plus, in dvd extras/comics it shows you how Ed wasn't ripped apart, how Diane survived and the whole Shaun getting away but not totally thing
You guys would love Spaced, and it's not that long of a series.
Learned from this film that in the UK, Drumstix are called Cornetto.
Just found your channel yesterday, and I'm loving the reactions. I also love both the taters and Mollymauk shirts!
FUN FACT: Diane survives! The special features explain that while the zombies entering the pub where so distracted with the noise coming from inside they didn't notice Diane eventually crawling on the ground and eventually getting herself up a tree across the street! FR look it up 😂🤣
The way David is pulled apart is similar to one of the deaths in either Dawn of the Dead or Day of the Dead and "We're coming for you Barbara" is a parody of the line from Night of the Living Dead, also the Newsflesh Trilogy is about a Political Election twenty years after a Zombie takeover, but people learned from watching Zombie movies what to do
George's face at the disembowlment of 'twat'. Eyes glued to the screen. SOTD is my go-to for GIFs. You can pretty much cover all your needs from this movie.
everyone talks about the trilogy, but Paul should get a shout out too!
Btw, before watching Hot Fuzz, I recommend watching Point Break (and Bad Boys II). It is not a requirement, but there are few scenes that make a lot more sense if you saw those movies. And Point Break especially is a great movie on its own.
13:53 -- keep that fence scene in mind, when you watch the rest of the "Cornetto Trilogy".
"Low-budget Harry Potter" -- I love that insult.
The entire course of that day was spelled out the night before by Ed. The "Bloody Mary" was the girl in the garden.
17:15 this part - while staying hilarious like the rest of this film, is actually the scariest moment in my opinion. They are truly fucked, We know it, He knows it. this scene is pure horror, especially on first viewing.
also Simon Pegg's performance is a Gem
The trilogy are all parodies of different movie genres, and made with and by the same group of people, and each had a Cornetto of a color to go with the theme. (Ice cream cone like a drumstick)
This movie is so good. Greetings from São Paulo, Brazil.
There's also Paul, which is by a different director, but it stars the two main stars of this movie.
This movie to me, is a timeless classic. I can’t wait for Hot Fuzz!
By the way, the cornetto in the thumbnail should be strawberry.
The idea of Zombies does exist in this universe, as they're so hesitant to use the Zed word. But they're not real in this universe (until the movie) so they're not considered zombies at first, hence the officials needing to explain that these infected people need to be brained to keep them down. They're considered Zombies by the end as they refer to the event as Zed Day. It's also got elements of Andromeda Strain and Night of the Comet (a personal fave), particularly where the virus comes from.
These two are hilarious together. Another great movie they did was "Paul" where they RV through New Mexico
I'd like to interrupt the convo and put in a word for "Paul" (2011)
Great reactions! Funny and it's great to watch you guys having so much fun with a movie we all love!
Each movie is different. Only things in common is the Cornetto ice cream cameo and they star Simon Pegg and Nick Frost. Also the themes are fairly similar also. Seriously need to watch the others though. They're amazing!
Apparently, it's actually a rule in zombie shows that they have no idea what pop culture zombies are. That's why any modern and serious zombie flick don't refer to the undead as "zombies". :D
omg need to watch Hot Fuzz absolutely
Yes. This cannot be stressed enough!
Hot Fuzz is a must you'll both love it !!
the cornetto has s bigger link behind it than you think. this was strawberry cornetto as its red like blood, there is a blue cornetto for hot fuzz (thin blue line, blue is the colour of the police) and green well that would be a spoiler :p
This movie works even better if you've seen George Romeros original Dead trilogy, Night of the Living Dead '68, Dawn of the Dead '78, Day of the Dead '85. It's a big love letter to Romero filled with Easter eggs, dialogue, and music from his films. George was the first person Edgar Wright showed this too when it was finished... he loved it.
"OH! FOR GODSSAKE! URGH HES GOT AN ARM OFF!! GET HIM!"
Always thought this movie was the single best slow-build to a zombie apocalypse ever shown. Just the little news clips and radio broadcasts in the background, the small random events like "running guy" and "weird homeless guy".
I can relate to Pete. One of my housemates insists on leaving the door open all night and I cannot fathom why. He goes outside to smoke for an hour or two then when he comes in he just leaves the door wide open. The house owner lives upstairs and though I didn't hear it I came into the room while she was there talking to the guy and she asked me if I knew who it was. Clearly he decided to lie about something that wasn't such a big deal which still confuses me. What was he trying to hide? I didn't want to snitch so I said I didn't know. The owner said she'd get a security camera set up which is probably why he stopped leaving the door open for a few weeks. It's now 4am and the front door is still open. While I'm complaining, when he goes outside he makes himself an instant coffee first. He passes within arm's reach of the bin and since he's making something he also has to throw something out so he is always aware how full they are. Do you suppose he ever takes it out? If you guessed not you'd be correct. I'll go to the kitchen just after he goes outside sometimes and the thing is overflowing with rubbish. That's bad enough. What makes it so much worse is that he also passes within a couple of metres of the bins to access his smoking area. Then once he's finished he actually goes over to them and puts all his cigarette butts in there. It would take barely any extra effort on his part to take the bin out but it always ends up being me. If I go out while he's there and look over at him he'll turn himself away so he can't look me in the eyes. Also instead of putting away the dry plates and food making items that other people (3 more down here not including me) have left in the drying rack he puts the stuff he just washed into the second sink and then that piles up as well as the other stuff on the rack. I have never known someone who will go to such lengths to avoid doing a single chore. I would almost rather a zombie. Then at least I'd know why he chose to do so many stupid things instead of taking two seconds to tidy up the common areas. Other people are the worst.
Dylan Moran (the sad Harry Potter) is a great actor.
My personal favorite part of him is in the TV show Black Books where he plays an evil, annoyed bookstore owner.
