I also love that their friendship is so genuine because they really used to be flatmates. Apparently for a bit of time they slept in one bed, and the comfort with each other really shows
It's also a line in their show Spaced, Daisy (Jessica Hynes) passes the phone to Tim (Simon Pegg) and says 'it's your boyfriend' (Mike played by Nick Frost), Tim replies 'he's not my boyfriend', then answers the phone saying 'Hi babe'
13:30 i love how in the movie it's hinted that Barbra got bit. When the zombie's beating the glass door he doesn't have a bloody mouth, but when shaun comes to the rescue the zombie's mouth is now bloody.
One little detail worth pointing out is that at that Winchester bar scene at the beginning, Ed basically outlines the plot of the movie but in the form of a pub crawl "We'll have a Bloody Mary first thing, have a bite at the King's Head, a couple at the Little Princess, we'll stagger back here... BANG! Back at the bar for shots"
This happened in the words and aswell, everything that happened when they where teens happened when they were older. Just shows the genius of the filmmakers
6:42 "And the front is open... AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" kills me EVERY TIME. Also, fun fact: it's not Ed who keeps leaving the front door open, it's Shaun, you can tell because when he gets back from the shop he doesn't close it behind him and that's how the groom zombie gets in.
15:31 I love how The "Dont Stop Me Now" Scene isnt even an epic Zombie killing spree like you'd expect nowadays. Its just all of them beating the hell out of one zombie with pool cues.
Fun Fact: There was originally gonna be a scene showing how Shaun got away from the horde. It explained that, while leading them away from the Winchester, he had to stop and wait for them to catch up every now and then because they couldn't keep up
No matter how many times I watch this movie, I laugh my ass off every time. “Take car. Drive to mum’s. Kill Phil. Take Mum, pick up Liz. Drive to the Winchester, have a nice cold pint and wait for all of this to blow over.” I can’t count the number of times I used this quote when people asked me what am I doing in quarantine when Covid was bad.
Fun fact, there was actually a comic about Shaun running from the hoard of zombies only to realise that they were slow and he had to keep waiting. He eventually hid for some time and then went back to the pub without any trouble.
Ed and Shaun are maybe my favorite duo in comedy movie history. They got such a great chemistry between the two and that’s mostly thanks to the real life friendship of Pegg and Frost. It’s a true highlight of This movie.
5:49 That made me so happy. I love that James called the Telephone box a Tardis, because I absolutely adore Doctor Who. Also, as someone who is British, I’m so happy that James covered this film, because it’s one of my all time favourite British ‘horror, comedy’ movies, including Attack The Block(which is more of an urban realism film than horror, but it’s got death and aliens, so whatever).
@@TheOthersparktank If he ever got the bloody chameleon circuit working, he could make it look like a phone box. But, he still probably wouldn't out of principle. 😅
Fun fact in a deleted scene David actually gets his apology out and his girlfriend literally says “thank you David, that took guts” and right after that we get to the scene where hes torn to shreds (with his guts being ripped out but thats obvious), but was left out for running time and to ensure the scene would remain horrific rather than comedic justice. Ngl i totally get it cause knowing that makes that death scene comedically dark.
It's a shame that they cut that scene out because it would make us at least forgive David before he is torn apart whereas in the the actual movie he just dies a asshole
@@kylebarker6770 more realistic in my opinion, sure he died a horrible death he didn’t deserve but but it turns this black and white premise into Grey. Edit: also don’t forget he did try to shoot Shaun
@@kevindolan9 idk, i definitely dont forgive him and he probably deserved to die if you ask me. He *just* tried to kill Shaun and his mom 10 seconds prior but was too dumb to know to cock the gun first, and got instant karma for it.
17:07 "it's been a funny sort of day" is another classic British line from a Comedy show called Open All Hours. made me howl with laughter when I heard it 😂
Still love the pub chat where Ed foreshadows the whole movie; "We’ll have a Bloody Mary, a bite at the King’s Head, a couple at the Little Princess, stagger back here to the bar for shots." Brilliant writing that makes rewatching such a treat.
Fun fact: Simon Pegg was originally supposed to be Hughie in The Boys. The character in the comic was drawn to look like Simon Pegg. But "The Boys" took so long to adapt that Simon Pegg got too old for the role.
The beauty of good British comedies is the total realism. Some of the relatable humour is scarily accurate and funny. It's possibly the thing I'm most proud of being a Brit lol.
This. This is the moment I’ve waited my whole life for. Edgar wright is a psychopath. Nearly every line of dialogue in this movie is a callback or foreshadow. It’s the best kind of rewatch
Actually noticed this after rewatching for the 10th time, the part where shaun is shooting the zombies that are pouring through the windows in the pub and ed is telling him where to shoot, is exactly the same callouts shaun gives ed at the start of the movie whilst hes playing the video game, i know there is alot of reoccurring moments similar to that, its shocking how after watching the movie so many times i still pick up on new subtle details, amazing movie
Fun thing. Ed foreshadows the entire movie to Shawn early in the movie. before the zombie apacolyspe starts he is talking to shawn about his plans for the night "Starting with a bloody mary ( Mary in the back yard), a bite at the King's head (Philip gets bit in the neck) Get more at the little princess (pick up the others) and stagger back to the bar for shots (they pretend to be zombies to get into the Winchester where they shoot zombies)"
@@charliehancock2280 many will disagree with you, a world's end was just as good as the other two. I'm more of a horror fan but i believe shaun of the dead is the least polished of the three movies, making it my least favorite but still an absolute classic
The last "I'm not laughing" actually had me tear up. Two best friends saying goodbye for the last time... ...until the end reveals zombie Ed is in the shed playing games.
One of my top 5 favorite movies. Especially poignant for me was the last conversation between Shaun and Phillip. Being a step-father myself, it was touching. And pretty accurate…
I love being British and seeing people of other nationalities cover films like this! People like Vernon Kay and Reece Shearsmith are so known to me but it's fun seeing who is recognised outside the UK!
@@deant3980 that's my favorite running joke. It's perfectly representative of these dudes sense of humor. It's so... dry. It's just there if you notice it, but it's not an obnoxious, "aren't we so funny" bit that is so common in other comedies of that era. It also serves the story and character. It shows us how Shaun is a constantly put-upon drone wherever he goes.
I like how Shaun seemingly trains zombie ed to play with him and the zombie complies with a sort of understanding almost as if ed isn’t fully dead yet still struggling for control
“If this episode does well” dude of course it’s gonna do well all your videos do brutha! You work hard for these and I appreciate them thank you for all you do!
He was in the Mini series Band of Brothers, but the real life guy he played (Lt Meehan) died in the plane ride over to Normandy on D-Day, so he was only in the first episode.
I grew up watching this movie, ever since it first came out. I love this movie, and I'd even go as far as to say it's one of the best movies I ever experienced during my lifetime. I was 4 when it first came out, and it was a major part of why I love all things spooky, creepy, and maybe even scary. It's why zombies are my favorite horror movie monster type. Every time Philip dies, I am brought to tears due to the fact that growing up I didn't really have a father, just father figures. Thank you for covering this movie, James, it means a lot to me.
when they try and talk to Pete from the bottom of the stairs after suspecting he's a zombie, and Ed yells "Oi Prick!" makes me laugh so hard. genuinely a classic
Fun Fact: At the Winchester in the beginning right when the outbreak began, Ed described the events they should do, which would be the events that happened in the movie. Clever foreshadowing right there.
I went on a movie date with my girlfriend to see this movie in a local theater thats known for showing predominantly horror movies, and they gave us a blow up baseball bat to hit each other with every time you saw a zombie. On it, theres just "You've got red on you" in bold red letters. Best damn date of my life. I still have the bat.
@@evilbob840 Some say front garden and back garden, but in general if it’s an outside area attached to a house then it’s just called a garden. Especially since city places will generally only have a front or back garden, rather than both.
I hold all the power, you now have 1000 likes, AND I CAN TAKE THAT AWAY WHENEVER I SEE FIT, so you better fill out this list of demands, 1.scream I love cops without touching your lips together, 2.Listen to “Its everyday bro” by Jake Paul until you get a text from your aunt, and 3.Take up French and learn it fluently
9:05 "We're coming to get you, Barbara!" - This line alone convinced me of Simon & Edgar's genius and still cracks me up every time! If only I knew someone called Barbara who I could endlessly quote this to! LMAO
Do you know what we are going to do tomorrow? Keep Drinking We’ll have a Bloody Mary first thing, grab a bite at the King’s Head, a couple at the Little Princess, stagger back here and, bang, we’ll be back at the bar for shots!” Honestly THE BEST example of foreshadowing I’ve ever seen
The writing in this movie is just too good. Even side chracters like that guy who was only mentionend once at the bar and how he was allways surrounded by women
All three films of the trilogy have fantastic writing full of foreshadowing Like the way Pegg's character describes what's going to happen drinking on the pub crawl mirrors what happens with the aliens at each pub
i have to say, im currently writing a speech for my english essay about movies and shows and this channel has helped me descover the horror genre and helped me with this speech drastically withought me having to watch a whole bunch of movies in 1 day. so from the bottom of my heart, thank you james
It's so nice to every time we see a British film on the Kill Count Seeing all the Brits that James doesnt recognise but who are pretty big here is how I feel when he talks about some of the American actors
Shaun of the dead is the reason for my fear of zombies as a child. That scene with discount Harry Potter getting ripped in half as he’s pulled out of the bar freaked me out
Couldn't "Hot Fuzz" be considered like a thriller/almost horror... Especially after finding out about the secret cult killing everyone. Please I hope he does a KillCount for it!
Yeah, the whole Cornetto Trilogy mocks horror cliches. Hot Fuzz is mainly focused on satirizing action movie cliches but it also plays with cult and slasher tropes, while World End's does alien Invasion horror. But, not our series so I'm not gonna push James
Apparently they had a private screening with Romero and were waiting with baited breath for his reaction to that line "We're coming to get you, Barbara!" ... which, he completely missed and they were all "BUT WE WROTE THAT LINE JUST FOR YOOOOUUU". And yeah, Crouch End is indeed lovely .... one of my uncle's lives around the corner from that house.
They had to bring it round from what Pete said earlier on about Ed wanting to live like an animal and to go live in the garden shed. Some shit like that
Fun fact 2: She’s also best known for playing incredibly posh people, but more than that, for being an acclaimed Shakesperian stage and classic BBC actress - this film/role isn’t the type of thing you’d ever, ever associate with her (well, until now anyway).
You're my favorite channel because I thought I knew EVERYTHING about this movie, but somehow you still managed to sneak in fun trivia that I didn't know about. I've watched this movie the most out of any movie (at least 20 times) and it felt like I was watching it for the 2nd time lol
The movie was filmed right in the area where I live. Their house is literally 3 roads next to mine and I pass by or go to the shops where he brought the cornetto pretty much every day.
11:59 two things to point out in this shot, 1. the guy in the brown jacket is Reece Shearsmith, a British actor known for dark comedies such as league of gentlemen and inside no. 9 (watch them, they're amazing), and 2. Martin Freeman (Along with Bill Nighy) was in Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy.
@@Daniel-nn8mr Not that I agree with him (quite the opposite), but what exactly is the "proper" way to watch a movie? Your opinion isn't objective fact, just because someone disagrees it doesn't mean they somehow watched the movie wrong.
I love that flipping through the channel bit I feel like him missing all the zombies is maybe a reference to zombie movies seemingly always skipping from the first person to an entire outbreak out of nowhere and it’s inescapable, this time they had plenty of time to prepare or leave and they use the time developing the characters
God the zombie Pete in the shower scene, that scene made me need to check the shower for naked shower zombies for literal years. Seems silly now, but hey fears can be the weirdest things ever
That's fair. That's no different than the fear that, yes, there could absolutely be a shark or an alligator that somehow got into an indoor pool unnoticed.
As a child I watched Critters (I have such nostalgic love for the movies) and I was terrified of the red eyes appearing in the windows and couldnt sleep with window visible
I actually thought it was a reference to Big Brother when I was younger. In the UK version the host used to say "I'm coming to get you!" after revealing the evictee. 2004 was when Big Brother was at peak popularity. I mean I know now that it was definitely more a nod at Romero but part of me wonders if it was supposed to be a two-fer.
For the record, Hot Fuzz (and maybe The World's End) has some very prevalent and pervasive horror elements. The entire first two acts are this amazing bizarro love child of The Wickerman and The Omen.
Edgar Wright was also inspired by Italian Giallos and serial killer vs cop movies for Hot Fuzz and body snatcher/ apocalypse themed movies for the worlds end so in a way they have some horror thematics plus they feature some truly gruesome and unique death scenes

Hi
“He’s not my boyfriend. Thanks babe.” Is my favorite line in any Edgar Wright movie
I also love that their friendship is so genuine because they really used to be flatmates. Apparently for a bit of time they slept in one bed, and the comfort with each other really shows
What about "Bread makes you fat?!" from Scott Pilgrim vs The World?
Mines probably when Simon goes but I love her and Edgar just goes alright gayyyy
@@moron4 technically not a Wright Written line since its from the comic

To add on, if you look at the scene at 13:47 we see her check her wrist
@@unknowndane4754 I never noticed that woah

@@FordEscortRSCosworth-cv1jl its also mirrored in Hot Fuzz
Edgar Wright just loves foreshadowing his movies. It makes for good rewatching. Even Scott Pilgrim had foreshadowing.

The rippof Harry Potter is an asshole in the movie
And then it leads to the 1 armed zombie getting in and when he's dead he says "I'm gunna go lock the fromt door."
15:31
I love how The "Dont Stop Me Now" Scene isnt even an epic Zombie killing spree like you'd expect nowadays. Its just all of them beating the hell out of one zombie with pool cues.
Still the best part! Whenever I hear don't stop me now all I can think about is that part
@@IDontModWTFz That and the line "Kill the Queen!" Visible confusion "-The jukebox!!"

Fun Fact:

It explained that, while leading them away from the Winchester, he had to stop and wait for them to catch up every now and then because they couldn't keep up

He hid in a bin

"AHHHHHHHHHH HE'S GOT AN ARM OFF"
“D’you see his head go” 😂😂
@@wigsterkenzie "GET IM"

No matter how many times I watch this movie, I laugh my ass off every time.
“Take car. Drive to mum’s. Kill Phil. Take Mum, pick up Liz. Drive to the Winchester, have a nice cold pint and wait for all of this to blow over.” I can’t count the number of times I used this quote when people asked me what am I doing in quarantine when Covid was bad.
The best part is how Shaun gets less and less sincere every time they mention killing Philip
"I'm so sorry, Philip..."
"Sorry, Philip."
"Sorry!"
And when he arrives ed reminds him “ make sure to kill Philip!”
This is so cool
Fun fact, there was actually a comic about Shaun running from the hoard of zombies only to realise that they were slow and he had to keep waiting. He eventually hid for some time and then went back to the pub without any trouble.
Yeah.... no trouble at all....

Not as sad as him reacting to her mum turn into a zombie.
my favorite joke in the film is when they throw the Batman soundtrack and it swings around the two zombies like a batarang. pure genius
I'm sad I didn't pick that detail up until now
I must have seen this movie over a dozen times and never picked up on that, holy hell this movies attention to detail is next level
I NEVER REALISED THAT!!! I swear I learn something new about Shaun Of The Dead every time I watch it or something involving it
When?
kudos for spotting that!!!
Ed and Shaun are maybe my favorite duo in comedy movie history. They got such a great chemistry between the two and that’s mostly thanks to the real life friendship of Pegg and Frost. It’s a true highlight of This movie.
Bro this just came out
They watched it before it came out because membership or something. Just so you know.
I raise you Nick and Danny from Hot Fuzz
I won’t even mention in Tucker and Dale? wtf?

James: Almost loses it over counting zombie deaths in Zombieland: Double Tap
Also James: Continues to count zombie deaths effortlessly.
REC 3 says hello
5:49 That made me so happy. I love that James called the Telephone box a Tardis, because I absolutely adore Doctor Who.
Also, as someone who is British, I’m so happy that James covered this film, because it’s one of my all time favourite British ‘horror, comedy’ movies, including Attack The Block(which is more of an urban realism film than horror, but it’s got death and aliens, so whatever).
But, isn't the Tardis a Police box? A Telephone box would be closer to the spy comedy series: Get Smart.
I know some Police Call Boxes still exist, so I wish they filmed near one
i giggled when he said tardis 😭😭
@@TheOthersparktank If he ever got the bloody chameleon circuit working, he could make it look like a phone box. But, he still probably wouldn't out of principle. 😅
I remember the Phineas and Ferb episode "Night of the Living Pharmacists" having Pegg and Frost appear for a brief cameo.
that was really subtle and great
I had to look it up 😂
So what?
I remember when they were in eddsworld not the voice actors but just a animated version of them
Nice
Fun fact in a deleted scene David actually gets his apology out and his girlfriend literally says “thank you David, that took guts” and right after that we get to the scene where hes torn to shreds (with his guts being ripped out but thats obvious), but was left out for running time and to ensure the scene would remain horrific rather than comedic justice.

17:07 "it's been a funny sort of day" is another classic British line from a Comedy show called Open All Hours. made me howl with laughter when I heard it 😂

Didn't even notice. Thanks!
Fun fact: Simon Pegg was originally supposed to be Hughie in The Boys. The character in the comic was drawn to look like Simon Pegg. But "The Boys" took so long to adapt that Simon Pegg got too old for the role.
He was the inspiration for Hughie. NOT meant to be him in the show since that was never a thought when it was created.
But they did hire him as Hughie's dad paying homage to that fact.
@@ElectricalSwift Oh. He wasn't supposed to play Hughie? Just inspiration? Sorry I read it differently in some video or something.
@@kadenharley8232 yep, when it was created he was just a visual inspiration!
In the comics hughie is identical to Simon Pegg (which is unfair, cus Hughie sucks so much)
.
21:30 the fact that zombie ed still semi knows how to work a controller is so wholesome
They do say in the film that the zombies retain their core instincts from when they were human, so I guess Ed managed to get what he wanted
The beauty of good British comedies is the total realism.
Some of the relatable humour is scarily accurate and funny. It's possibly the thing I'm most proud of being a Brit lol.
Yeah. Love that they don't over-dramatize/glamorize everything like American TV.
This. This is the moment I’ve waited my whole life for. Edgar wright is a psychopath. Nearly every line of dialogue in this movie is a callback or foreshadow. It’s the best kind of rewatch
The fact that Shawn decided to keep Ed is just wholesome

That’s probably why I like this movie, Shawn is just a great character. He struggles in life but still cares for the ones close to him
My dad found it really weird xD

I missed that he actually pulled the trigger. Makes him look a lot worse than I thought.

I love being British and seeing people of other nationalities cover films like this! People like Vernon Kay and Reece Shearsmith are so known to me but it's fun seeing who is recognised outside the UK!
Same
Same here love this film.
absolutely adore reece shearsmith, grew up watching the league of gentlemen classic british dark comedy at its finest!
Send healthcare plz. We can barter in guns.
I know who Josie Lawrence is she's a British comedian who's been on both the U.K version and American version of whose line is it anyway.
You gotta love how James dressed up for this one.
He does that for most of them
And he brought a cricket bat
You've red on you. Lol
@@deant3980 that's my favorite running joke. It's perfectly representative of these dudes sense of humor. It's so... dry. It's just there if you notice it, but it's not an obnoxious, "aren't we so funny" bit that is so common in other comedies of that era. It also serves the story and character. It shows us how Shaun is a constantly put-upon drone wherever he goes.
You gotta love how straightforward your name is .....
I like how Shaun seemingly trains zombie ed to play with him and the zombie complies with a sort of understanding almost as if ed isn’t fully dead yet still struggling for control
I love how James gets so hooked on the characters he actually calls Simon Pegg "Shaun" at 22:50
How can you not love this chap?
omg I didn't even notice that! XD
Legend has it this whole community has been waiting for this movie on the kill count
James' American af pronunciation of British words is gonna keep me entertained for a good while, love u man 😂❤️
Yeah your British do get rekt
@@nomad4713 sorry, what ?? 😂
Gg
everybody bugger off! its his show :D
chewsday
“If this episode does well” dude of course it’s gonna do well all your videos do brutha! You work hard for these and I appreciate them thank you for all you do!
The combo of Simon Pegg and Nick Frost can't be replaced
There's also David Mitchell and Robert Webb
Work together like bread n butter
Both of whom are British
Edgar wright, Simon pegg and nick frost are the goats of comedy
Yeah I can’t believe they almost replaced him!
Simon pegg is such an underrated actor. Great in everything he does.
*stares in PAUL* 👽
UNKAR PLUTT
He was in the Mini series Band of Brothers, but the real life guy he played (Lt Meehan) died in the plane ride over to Normandy on D-Day, so he was only in the first episode.
@@natemododragon9969 Paul is awesome tho
He just has one of those faces where he could be in a film and not have one word on the script and be your favourite character 😉
The scene where Shaun has to shoot his zombified mother makes me cry everytime
especially the "I'm sorry mom" line, and the freak out with David going to shoot her
this was a great movie
I grew up watching this movie, ever since it first came out. I love this movie, and I'd even go as far as to say it's one of the best movies I ever experienced during my lifetime. I was 4 when it first came out, and it was a major part of why I love all things spooky, creepy, and maybe even scary. It's why zombies are my favorite horror movie monster type. Every time Philip dies, I am brought to tears due to the fact that growing up I didn't really have a father, just father figures. Thank you for covering this movie, James, it means a lot to me.
“Even if their festering skin is all yellow” that Coldplay reference was awesome
I love how you're always unapologetic with it being your show and doing what you want to do. It's refreshing
The "wait for all this to blow over" is perfect for parodies
This brings back memories. I watched this movie and I wouldn’t stop laughing
when they try and talk to Pete from the bottom of the stairs after suspecting he's a zombie, and Ed yells "Oi Prick!" makes me laugh so hard. genuinely a classic
Fun Fact: At the Winchester in the beginning right when the outbreak began, Ed described the events they should do, which would be the events that happened in the movie. Clever foreshadowing right there.
It’s an aspect of each Cornetto video
The #1 fact everyone brings up when this movie is mentioned lol
I just finished supernatural and hehe Winchester
How's that for a slice of fried gold?
Awesome 😊👍
I went on a movie date with my girlfriend to see this movie in a local theater thats known for showing predominantly horror movies, and they gave us a blow up baseball bat to hit each other with every time you saw a zombie. On it, theres just "You've got red on you" in bold red letters.
Best damn date of my life. I still have the bat.
You still have the bat, but do you still have the girlfriend?
Also interested.

"Whatever a British person calls a yard."
next sentence: they find Mary in their garden.
Onya James! On the money and you didn't even know it
The difference was that he said, "front yard," not just, "yard". Just in case "garden" only refers to the back.
@@evilbob840 Some say front garden and back garden, but in general if it’s an outside area attached to a house then it’s just called a garden. Especially since city places will generally only have a front or back garden, rather than both.
@@evilbob840 garden refers to your normal garden out back, front garden refers to a front garden
I love that James is making his own references to the original movie by continually saying "winda" instead of window
Nice touch
Have you been bitten?
*no but Phillip has*
oh ok
*Has she been bitten?*
No but Phillip has
*oh ok*

I always say "Oh leave him alone" in Shaun's whiny voice lmao
That WAS Kitchen Gun Man!
The writing in this movie is just too good. Even side chracters like that guy who was only mentionend once at the bar and how he was allways surrounded by women
Yep. And then he's surrounded by women being eaten later. These movies are absolutely spectacular
All three films of the trilogy have fantastic writing full of foreshadowing
Like the way Pegg's character describes what's going to happen drinking on the pub crawl mirrors what happens with the aliens at each pub
I’m gutted Hot Fuzz and The Worlds End won’t be getting kill counts. The kills in both of them are so well executed and are absolute masterpieces
He counted Jurassic Park, I personally think he should since he covered those
I personally feel both hot fuzz and worlds end are some what horror adjacent and have some creepy and very horror like elements
Yeah but it goes against the code
really doesnt make sense that he didnt cover it
i have to say, im currently writing a speech for my english essay about movies and shows and this channel has helped me descover the horror genre and helped me with this speech drastically withought me having to watch a whole bunch of movies in 1 day. so from the bottom of my heart, thank you james
It's so nice to every time we see a British film on the Kill Count
Seeing all the Brits that James doesnt recognise but who are pretty big here is how I feel when he talks about some of the American actors
I feel that way when he talks about some of the newer American actors too and I am American.
got dylan muran wrong hes irish
I don't know how he didn't recognize Martin Freeman honestly. He's in so many American movies that it kinda blows my mind.
Absolutely hate the way this bloke says Bill Nighy's name, genuinely frustrates me 😂
@@samuelmoore2407 How the hell are you supposed to say his name?
I just like how the heroes are average guys stumbling thier way through a crazy situation like normal people would!
“WE’RE COMING TO GET YOU, BARBARA!!!” Will always be my favorite line from this movie
Mine is "I did NOT call Diane a failed actress!" When Liz says you called my friends a twat & a failed actress. LoL
Bro, the end. Its so badass to see two friends still playing video games after one is undead. Amazing.
“Bugger off it’s my show” is an eternal mood
Shaun of the dead is the reason for my fear of zombies as a child. That scene with discount Harry Potter getting ripped in half as he’s pulled out of the bar freaked me out
Bro same
I blame tell tale walking dead
Same.
For me Dawn of the dead remake
It was zombieland for me
Couldn't "Hot Fuzz" be considered like a thriller/almost horror... Especially after finding out about the secret cult killing everyone. Please I hope he does a KillCount for it!
Hot Fuzz (2007) really is not at all Horror as it is just plainly an Action/Comedy which is not related to Horror.
@Clément Fert i agree with you
Yeah, the whole Cornetto Trilogy mocks horror cliches. Hot Fuzz is mainly focused on satirizing action movie cliches but it also plays with cult and slasher tropes, while World End's does alien Invasion horror.
But, not our series so I'm not gonna push James
@@theburningphoenix the worlds end can count as well
Apparently they had a private screening with Romero and were waiting with baited breath for his reaction to that line "We're coming to get you, Barbara!" ... which, he completely missed and they were all "BUT WE WROTE THAT LINE JUST FOR YOOOOUUU".
And yeah, Crouch End is indeed lovely .... one of my uncle's lives around the corner from that house.
I love that Shawn kept Ed even if he's still a zombie. Now that's true friendship right there.
If it was true friendship, then he'd have given his friend the peace he deserves.... instead he has him locked up and stuck as a Zombie.....
He's locked up in a messy place playing video games with his mate... what's the difference? 😂
Eh, Ed living as a zombie is an improvement over how he was living before.
They had to bring it round from what Pete said earlier on about Ed wanting to live like an animal and to go live in the garden shed. Some shit like that
Fun fact Shaun's mums death was so sad that after they shot the scene Simon pegg went outside of the studio and started crying
Fun fact 2: She’s also best known for playing incredibly posh people, but more than that, for being an acclaimed Shakesperian stage and classic BBC actress - this film/role isn’t the type of thing you’d ever, ever associate with her (well, until now anyway).
"fun fact"
Yes, finally! Good stuff James! This is one of my all time favorite zombie movies! Great to see you cover it! You dropped your crown, King. 👑
Same! This was one of my first horror movies and I enjoyed it a lot
indeed
Literally in my top 3 movies of all time I fucking love it
@@olliepowell4920 same, I absolutely love Hot Fuzz too. The Cornetto trilogy is just brilliant!
Why did you have to add that cringey last sentence lol
You're my favorite channel because I thought I knew EVERYTHING about this movie, but somehow you still managed to sneak in fun trivia that I didn't know about. I've watched this movie the most out of any movie (at least 20 times) and it felt like I was watching it for the 2nd time lol
The fact that they have a hobbit on their team never ceases to amaze me
The fact that he didn’t point that out makes it even funnier
RW:tbh saw this film back in highschool (the unrated version) thats my first time I ever knew anything about that actor who played Bilbo Baggins😁
The movie was filmed right in the area where I live. Their house is literally 3 roads next to mine and I pass by or go to the shops where he brought the cornetto pretty much every day.
one of the luckiest humans
Sick I gotta go see that house one day I’m like 45 mins away
I can really apreciate it when a zombie movie gives an optimistic ending
It's bitter sweet. It looks happy, but if you think too hard about it, it becomes quite disturbing. And that's a really good way to end it.
Unlike night of the living dead
@@sloppyphart7879 eh it could had been worst
11:59 two things to point out in this shot, 1. the guy in the brown jacket is Reece Shearsmith, a British actor known for dark comedies such as league of gentlemen and inside no. 9 (watch them, they're amazing), and 2. Martin Freeman (Along with Bill Nighy) was in Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy.
And Martin Freeman had this little role as Bilbo Baggins in The Hobbit.

@@BIGIRNBRUGOD01 Incorrect Answer Try Again
@@Daniel-nn8mr Not that I agree with him (quite the opposite), but what exactly is the "proper" way to watch a movie? Your opinion isn't objective fact, just because someone disagrees it doesn't mean they somehow watched the movie wrong.
The only problem I had with his Shaun costume is that the red didn’t slowly get bigger with every scene. That’s the only step to perfection
I love that flipping through the channel bit I feel like him missing all the zombies is maybe a reference to zombie movies seemingly always skipping from the first person to an entire outbreak out of nowhere and it’s inescapable, this time they had plenty of time to prepare or leave and they use the time developing the characters
If you missed that "We're coming to get you Barbara!" reference, don't feel too bad. Even George A. Romero didn't catch it when he first watched it.
God the zombie Pete in the shower scene, that scene made me need to check the shower for naked shower zombies for literal years. Seems silly now, but hey fears can be the weirdest things ever
Yeah on this tv show a snake came out of the toilet so every time I went to the loo I'd always check for snakes
I totally get that, I love the film but the moment where Shaun turns on the porch light and there's a horde of dudes there makes me freak tf out
That's fair. That's no different than the fear that, yes, there could absolutely be a shark or an alligator that somehow got into an indoor pool unnoticed.
As a child I watched Critters (I have such nostalgic love for the movies) and I was terrified of the red eyes appearing in the windows and couldnt sleep with window visible
i cannot go into ANY bathroom without checking the shower thanks to this movie and the shining!
Fun fact: the first time George Remero saw the film he didn’t get the “We’re coming to get you Barbara” reference
I actually thought it was a reference to Big Brother when I was younger. In the UK version the host used to say "I'm coming to get you!" after revealing the evictee. 2004 was when Big Brother was at peak popularity.
I mean I know now that it was definitely more a nod at Romero but part of me wonders if it was supposed to be a two-fer.
That's easy to it's Night of the Living Dead I have it on DVD
@@LiteDisc I never thought about that, it could be an unintentional reference to Big brother
For the record, Hot Fuzz (and maybe The World's End) has some very prevalent and pervasive horror elements. The entire first two acts are this amazing bizarro love child of The Wickerman and The Omen.
Edgar Wright was also inspired by Italian Giallos and serial killer vs cop movies for Hot Fuzz and body snatcher/ apocalypse themed movies for the worlds end so in a way they have some horror thematics plus they feature some truly gruesome and unique death scenes
