shaun being so stuck in his routine he doesn't notice all the signs of the undead is one of the best parts of this film. Ed just rolling with it is hilarious.
George Romero (The Grandpa of Zombie flicks) liked this movie so much that he invited Simon and Edgar to be zombie extras for a day in Land of the Dead...and Romero pretty much hated most zombie flicks because he thought they weren't original enough.
True! Romero pretty much created the horror film zombie with Night of the Living Dead in 1968, and that film was also one of the first to have a black man as a main role
I bet the people making Shaun of the Dead were chuffed with that since that was one of the main things that they wanted was George Romero's seal of approval.
I just realised you can see the movie as an allegory for life. Shaun's life was already falling apart like a zombie apocalypse, and throughout the story (his life), his parents pass away, he loses touch with acquaintances that try to help him be better (his roommate becomes a zombie), and eventually has to let go of his friend that was holding him back (Ed) in order to finally come into his own
One of the jokes younger viewers miss is when Ed yells “we’re coming to get you Barbara!” When Shaun is on the phone to his mother. That line is a take on a line from the famous zombie film Night of the Living Dead.
Funny you mention that because George A Romero actually watched Shaun of the Dead and absolutely loved it so much he offered Edgar Wright and Simon Pegg a cameo role as zombies in Land of the Dead
this movie needs so many rewatches to pick everything, like how the first morning that Shawn goes to the store is repeated almost exactly the same way the second morning but with zombies and in it. another great Edgar Wright movie is "Baby Driver"
edgar wright is one of my FAVORITE directors and this movie is my fav from him. it makes me so happy that you notice all of his detailed editing and transitions :')
My favourite thing is Martin Freeman's roles getting progressively bigger as this trilogy goes on as he was getting more famous 🤣 he's like an extra in this one but has been mates with Simon Pegg (Shaun) for ages 🤣. To be fair most people in these movies are pretty well known in the UK, especially now. I think they made a point to try and get as many people back for the 3rd one who'd been in the first 2 as possible 🤣
He wasn't really getting any more famous in the UK to be fair, his big break fame wise was the Office which had gone through 3 series and finished by the time Shawn of the Dead came out, and he had done little else of note before Hot Fuzz came out. His next jump in fame did come between the 2nd and 3rd film though.
Simon Pegg is a PHENOMENAL actor. That scene in the bar where he's miserable, he literally looks like those crying cat memes. He looks like if a new Inside Out character came out and it was just pure misery. And later on when he's in the stand-off? Perfect. He is acting with his whole heart and soul, it's so real and so visceral
14:45-14:50 "Child Locks" are usually a switch that has to be moved while the door is already open. In the lock position, the handle inside the door cannot open the door. The purpose being to assure a child in the back seat cannot open the door, instead someone has to open the door from the outside (presumably a parent or other adult who was in the front of the car before parking. So to unlock the Child Locks, someone would have to get out of the car, open the door, and move the switching lever.
I saw it in the theaters when it came out, and loved it instantly. It made me want to watch everything else the same team had done, which, at the time, was only Spaced. Which was only out on DVD in the UK. So I ordered Region 2 DVDs and a region free DVD player. Then learned the Episode 2 was their inspiration for SotD.
I think the reason the Cornetto Triology is so good is that, while each of the films is a parody of a genre, it is also a fantastic contribution to that genre in its own right. Shaun of the Dead clearly parodies many aspects of zombie movies, but at the same time is actually a genuinely great zombie. Hot Fuzz is easily my favourite movie ever.
It actually confused me for a second... they didn't eat food there in any previous scene either, I'd have probably not noticed if she'd just said bar but it's a pub 100%
Oh I'm excited for your reactions to these! Especially as you seem to appreciate the film making side of things so much! I'm not great at that stuff but even i can tell these are special, especially Hot Fuzz!
"Mugged by who?" "I don't know, some crackheads or something. One of them bit me!" "Why did they bite you?" "I DON'T KNOW, I DIDN'T STOP TO ASK THEM!!!"
There are a lot of hidden things in the movie. Example, after the breakup when Ed tells their plan for the next day, he mentions bloody mary's, then the zombie in their garden is named Mary, and she gets bloody. The end of the plan was to stagger back to the Winchester for shots. They "staggered" while acting like zombies to the Winchester and shot the gun. I also heard something somewhere about how the characters' names rhyme with their fate by the end of the movie.
Even if just in your spare time, taking a look at Spaced is worth it. It's a British TV show directed by Edgar Wright and written by Simon Pegg and the woman who played his ex in Shawn of the Dead. It's only 2 seasons with 6 episodes each. They actually got the idea to do a comedy zombie film together while filming an episode of Spaced.
While this is very much a comedy, it's still a legit zombie movie, paying a huge tribute to George Romero's work. It turns out that Romero was actually a fan of what they did, and when he had a new movie in his series coming up (Land of the Dead), he gave Pegg and Wright cameo roles in the movie as a couple of featured zombies in the background in one of the scenes ("Take your picture with a zombie"). There's some really fun documentary footage about it. My favorite bit is them reminiscing about Romero coming by and giving them some very brief direction, with Pegg saying in full fanboy mode "We've just been directed by *George Romero*!"
There are so many little tributes! i loved Romero in high school and this came out and it was so good. Hot fuzz still is peak but its as you say, a great zombie movie in its own right, just happens to be hilarious on purpose this time.
hell yeah! for sure one of my favourite movies :D Can't wait for the rest of the cornetto trilogy, gotta say Hot Fuzz is probably the best one all around though all of them have their strengths!
This movie is a part of the Three Flavors Trilogy which involves Nick Frost and Simon Pegg playing different characters in different movies like Hot Fuzz and The World's End.
This one always has a special place in my heart. It was the first movie I saw in theaters after moving to Germany. Still friends with the people I went with even after coming back to the states. Also, my intro to Edgar Wright and Simon Pegg. Even got a Coronado at the theater without knowing the significance. Just a great time.
I saw this in 2004 or 2005 my dad rented it at blockbuster. When he got it there was only one copy available at blockbuster. A week later it was so in demand there was 10 copies
Honestly, every single one of Edgar Wright's films have that rewatch factor to them. Not just because they're awesome, but all the tiny little details come to the surface once you've rewatched a scene enough times. Like this one. When Shaun and Ed escape the house in Pete's car, the shopkeeper zombie has his hand outstretched while none of the others do. Not in a threatening way, more "You owe me 15p, remember?" There's tons like this in the whole trilogy. Good luck finding them all in one go :D
This and Hot Fuzz have gotta be my favorite movies to watch, they're just a blast every time. I loved your commentary, you pick up on so many things I never really see reactors pick up on, and you lay down SO MUCH RESPECT for my man Edgar Wright, I LOVE IT!!!
I watched this movie when I was 13 and I loved zombie movies as a teenager, and now this is one of my favorites of all time. Also now I know that a lot of people in Europe don't have air conditioning, so that could explain why some people might leave their whole door open! Also this is the most deserved reaction for this movie I've seen, it's the best, thank you Ange!
It's worth noting that Diane survived after tearing off David's leg and rushing out into the hoard. Once she was outside she realized it was pointless to save him and climbed up a tree, staying out of reach of the zombies while using David's leg as a weapon until help arrived.
Ed's description of the next day, in regards of drinks, wound up being what would happen that next day with Shaun and Ed. (ex. -- the Bloody Mary was with the first zombie they deal with) The fence hopping -- keep that in mind, when you watch Hot Fuzz and The World's End.
First time checking out your channel this one of my all time favorite movies and i just love your energy and quirkiness relatable and Charming you’ve got another subscriber here🎉🎉🎉🎉
Love your reactions to this 😂😂😂.... all the friends i had showing them this movie were either quiet while watching it or were texting throughout the movie.
A great comedy, and a bunch of great zombie pop culture Easter eggs. For example, there’s a reason that Fulci’s is “The Place That Does All The Fish”, and it involves a zombie fighting a shark. To be fair to their obliviousness, when you’re used to encountering people on the way home from pubs late at night, some of them probably staggering and groaning, looking ill from having too much of a night out, that just seems like how normal life (rather than undeath) goes.
I stumbled across your channel today. I had to laugh when you said "ridonkulous." I thought I was the only person who actually used that word. Fun reaction to one of my favorite movies!
All of the jumpcuts and zoom in's, it somewhat reminds me of Scott Pilgrim vs. The World. Of the trilogy i would say its my 2nd fav. Still my first time experiencing it i was thoroughly entertained via dvd in the comfort of my home enjoying a movie night with the fam. Just an aside one of my fav films is Hitckhikers Guide to the Galaxy.
I've seen many reactions to this movie and yours was THE BEST!! Very observant and of course it's always fun to watch someone enjoy something I enjoy myself. Can't wait for you to react to the entire trilogy and maybe some other films of theirs as well!
This movie and all of the Cornetto trilogy, but particularly the next one Hot Fuzz, you have to watch many times to catch everything. Hot Fuzz is like the most efficient movie ever as well as brilliantly funny, every line is either a direct joke, foreshadowing or reference to something! It’s genius 👍
I Love your reaction also the way he walks in his street and doesn’t notice anything I would be like this in Europe blood on walls is normal for real . Also in reality how many people would believe zombies are real ? 😂 but yeah I would be like whatttt . Greetings from France 🇫🇷
I recently watched Shaun of The Dead and Hot Fuzz and I loved them! (I live in the UK, so there's no surprise). I randomly saw your channel in my recommended as I was vibing to I MONSTER by The Blue Wrath. Anyway, keep up the great work!
Thanks for such a great reaction... Another Simon Peg and Nick Frost film you must see is Paul. It's not part of the Cornetto Trilogy, it was made quite a bit later. Oh, and watch the Unrated version, this has extra scenes so the storyline makes more sense, and has far better jokes...
I'm not a fan of zombie movies in general, but I love this one. Simon Peg, Nic Frost, and Jessica Hynes (she's the one that Shaun speaks too a few time, and comes with the army at the end) all worked on a TV series called "Spaced", in fact a lot of the cast are all great friends that have known each other for year, anyway, the reason why I bring up the show "Spaced" is that it has a cult following in the UK, and a lot of the extras (aka zombies) are fans of the show. Also, this movie has a lot of hidden references to other zombie films, and even Ed's monologue to what Shaun needs to do to get over Liz, resembles close to what they did during the attack. Wake up to a bloody Mary (the woman zombie in the garden has a name tag...Mary) A bite at the king's head (lots of UK kings were called Philip) Etc. Even the place that does the fish, if you look at the advert in the phone books, it calls itself that too! 😂 So worth a 4th or 5th rewatch.
You have successfully just watched the O.G Zomcom! First of its kind! I believe zombieland was the next but! Truly, there aren’t enough of these films for the genre! Here’s to many more!! Your gonna love worlds end! :) Great reaction so glad you got this done!! :D
O.G zomcom? What on earth are you talking about? Have you never seen Return of the Living Dead (1985) or Braindead (1992)? Braindead (US title: Dead Alive) even managed to beat Shaun to be the first RomZomCom! 😃
I’m still new to your channel and I’m happy you reacted to this, my favorite part I bring up when I’m drunk to my friends is “there’s a girl in the garden!” And they automatically respond 😂
Edgar did a really nice breakdown of the 2 One-shot routines in SOTD and it's amazing that that scene was very nearly not shot for the movie, but they snuck it in and it's so iconic today
5:00 I don’t see a lot of people talking about her. Before the trilogy, this cast did a tv series called spaced and she is one of the main characters. One of the episodes inspired them to do a zombie movie, hence this.
This is one of my all time favorites, it’s so cool to see someone appreciate all of the cool choices made by the director and actors! It manages to be both scary and funny, kinda like one of my other faves Scream.
Just noticed that zombie Barbara wasn’t that hostile…..until David shouted “Do it!” And even then it looked like she was hissing at David rather than Shaun, implying that deep down, even she didn’t like him.
18:30 dont forget it was raining the night before so the bin probably filled up with water allowing the flowers to live another day, seems quite ironic with what comes after 😅
So, David!!! Yeah, the character is an absolute TWAT! However, the actor Dylan Moran is an Irish stand-up comedian who is absolutely hilarious. Another fun little fact, both Nick Frost and Simon Pegg had guest appearances in Dylan's, BBC comedy series, Black Books, his character is the exact opposite of David, highly recommend giving the short, sweet series a watch.
This is one of my favorite movies ever! It's funny, has lots of gore, touching moments... and the actors are great! The whole Three Flavours Cornetto trilogy is amazing, but this one is my fave
This movie was Nick Frost's (Ed) first movie! He got his first part in the British comedy series 'Spaced' with Simon Pegg (Shaun) after being flatmates (roommates) with him for a long time. That comedy was slightly based on Simon and Nick's time together that role. Simon actually asked Edgar Wright to cast Nick for the role of Ed as he felt no one else could pull off the chemistry of a longtime flatmate like him. Paid off in the execution completely. 😂 🙌
Absolutely one of my favorite zombie movies as well. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE CORNETTO TRILOGY! My experience of this movie, I was actually a child when I first watched this 😂 Still one of my favs! ❤️
gotta admit... i'm blown away by your coomentary! normally i'd skip through to where the fun begins... but you've got me as enthralled as the movie did the first time round lol edit: why didn't i sub? ahhh crap! am i turning into Shawn? lol
I can't remember the exact wording, but the scene the day before when they're discussing the "pub crawl" is them spelling out the rest of film. Like 'the little princess, the Kings head', all refer to people in their group, "and then back here for shots" - literally
9:06 The 'apocalypse' day was filmed before the 'normal' day; Simon naturally tripped on the kerb in the former so he had to act it again for the latter.
terrific reaction. NB This is the first film directed by Edgar Wright after his stint of directing the TV Series - Spaced (written by Simon Pegg and Jessica Hynes (who led the mirror team in this movie))
This movie was SUCH a pleasant SURPRISE. Which one of the films in the Cornetto Trilogy is your favorite?
Hot fuzz!
Hot Fuzz is my favorite, but I grew up in a place like where it is set.
The World's End, it's really underrated.
@@mrdoctorgilmore yup yup
This one
shaun being so stuck in his routine he doesn't notice all the signs of the undead is one of the best parts of this film. Ed just rolling with it is hilarious.
It’s so realistic tho cos I would be the same, especially after I’ve gotten out of bed in the morning 😂
He also has a massive hangover.
nah he was still drunk and he was tired lol he would of noticed the streets being empty and everything destoryed and ppl walking weridly
I always thought that he was so hung over that he couldn't concentrate on anything else than the task at hand. I mean I've been there myself 😄
George Romero (The Grandpa of Zombie flicks) liked this movie so much that he invited Simon and Edgar to be zombie extras for a day in Land of the Dead...and Romero pretty much hated most zombie flicks because he thought they weren't original enough.
True! Romero pretty much created the horror film zombie with Night of the Living Dead in 1968, and that film was also one of the first to have a black man as a main role
You should check out the song They`re coming to Get You, Barbara by No More Kings ;) I think you would like it
That bit where Dylan Moran gets ripped out the window is such a nice little tip of the hat.
It’s always the weirdest movies that directors love. Like Chris Nolan is a huge fan of fast and furious
I bet the people making Shaun of the Dead were chuffed with that since that was one of the main things that they wanted was George Romero's seal of approval.
One of the funniest zombie comedy horror films ever!
*One of the funniest FILMS ever, period.
*FIXED 😊
Or maybe the Zombiest Romantic Comedy?
It is a documentary not a film.....
The only have seen so far 😂😂🥲
Best Novel
I just realised you can see the movie as an allegory for life. Shaun's life was already falling apart like a zombie apocalypse, and throughout the story (his life), his parents pass away, he loses touch with acquaintances that try to help him be better (his roommate becomes a zombie), and eventually has to let go of his friend that was holding him back (Ed) in order to finally come into his own
the fact that you went into this not knowing it was a zombie movie actually made my dayy
One of the jokes younger viewers miss is when Ed yells “we’re coming to get you Barbara!” When Shaun is on the phone to his mother. That line is a take on a line from the famous zombie film Night of the Living Dead.
I should've caught that and possibly have in the past but now I'll never unhear that!
Funny you mention that because George A Romero actually watched Shaun of the Dead and absolutely loved it so much he offered Edgar Wright and Simon Pegg a cameo role as zombies in Land of the Dead
@@BassLineProductionsI Don't feel bad. Romero himself didn't get the reference until Edgar and Simon explained it to him :P
this movie needs so many rewatches to pick everything, like how the first morning that Shawn goes to the store is repeated almost exactly the same way the second morning but with zombies and in it.
another great Edgar Wright movie is "Baby Driver"
edgar wright is one of my FAVORITE directors and this movie is my fav from him. it makes me so happy that you notice all of his detailed editing and transitions :')
My favourite thing is Martin Freeman's roles getting progressively bigger as this trilogy goes on as he was getting more famous 🤣 he's like an extra in this one but has been mates with Simon Pegg (Shaun) for ages 🤣. To be fair most people in these movies are pretty well known in the UK, especially now. I think they made a point to try and get as many people back for the 3rd one who'd been in the first 2 as possible 🤣
He wasn't really getting any more famous in the UK to be fair, his big break fame wise was the Office which had gone through 3 series and finished by the time Shawn of the Dead came out, and he had done little else of note before Hot Fuzz came out. His next jump in fame did come between the 2nd and 3rd film though.
@@wyterabitt2149 well I mean he stopped being just Tim from The Office once he hit Sherlock and The Hobbit i think.
I have never seen anyone react to Edgar's crash-zoom cuts like they were watching a loved one get hit by a car before XD
Simon Pegg is a PHENOMENAL actor. That scene in the bar where he's miserable, he literally looks like those crying cat memes. He looks like if a new Inside Out character came out and it was just pure misery. And later on when he's in the stand-off? Perfect. He is acting with his whole heart and soul, it's so real and so visceral
The progression of Angie realizing she is Shaun lol
Each time you rewatch it, there will be entire new details you missed the last time. The trilogy is awesome.
Edgar Wright and this crew are just made for each other. His editing with their top notch comedy, just amazing.
14:45-14:50 "Child Locks" are usually a switch that has to be moved while the door is already open. In the lock position, the handle inside the door cannot open the door. The purpose being to assure a child in the back seat cannot open the door, instead someone has to open the door from the outside (presumably a parent or other adult who was in the front of the car before parking.

Which was only out on DVD in the UK. So I ordered Region 2 DVDs and a region free DVD player. Then learned the Episode 2 was their inspiration for SotD.
i just found a ditched box of DVDs and in it is Spaced!
Spaced is a work of genius, a cult classic.
I bought Spaced DVD set at Barnes and Noble when it was released here in the US. Love it!
I think the reason the Cornetto Triology is so good is that, while each of the films is a parody of a genre, it is also a fantastic contribution to that genre in its own right. Shaun of the Dead clearly parodies many aspects of zombie movies, but at the same time is actually a genuinely great zombie.
Hot Fuzz is easily my favourite movie ever.
I laughed when you called the pub a restaurant
It actually confused me for a second... they didn't eat food there in any previous scene either, I'd have probably not noticed if she'd just said bar but it's a pub 100%
There’s so many lines that call back to earlier in the film (“you’ve got red on you”, for example.) and it’s amazing
The actress who plays Shaun's mum is also fantastic in Afterlife.
The 'zombie reference' at the beginning is actually meant to represent how humans normally act as lazy and emotionless as zombies
My spouse and I dressed as Liz and Shaun and our toddler dressed as Ed for Halloween last year ❤😂 we love this film so much
Oh I'm excited for your reactions to these! Especially as you seem to appreciate the film making side of things so much! I'm not great at that stuff but even i can tell these are special, especially Hot Fuzz!
"Is this supposed to be a zombie film?" .......... I have no words
"Mugged by who?"
"I don't know, some crackheads or something. One of them bit me!"
"Why did they bite you?"
"I DON'T KNOW, I DIDN'T STOP TO ASK THEM!!!"

I also heard something somewhere about how the characters' names rhyme with their fate by the end of the movie.
The extras did a great job and pretty much did it for free. They were all fans of the guys previous stuff and helped them make this on a tight budget.
Even if just in your spare time, taking a look at Spaced is worth it. It's a British TV show directed by Edgar Wright and written by Simon Pegg and the woman who played his ex in Shawn of the Dead. It's only 2 seasons with 6 episodes each.

This movie is a part of the Three Flavors Trilogy which involves Nick Frost and Simon Pegg playing different characters in different movies like Hot Fuzz and The World's End.
Thank you. You are doing a great service for people too lazy to use Wikipedia.
it's called the Cornetto trilogy!
The other team they encounter, the lady in charge was the co-lead when they stared in Spaced together. The series that inspired Shaun Of The Dead. :)
This one always has a special place in my heart. It was the first movie I saw in theaters after moving to Germany. Still friends with the people I went with even after coming back to the states.
Also, my intro to Edgar Wright and Simon Pegg. Even got a Coronado at the theater without knowing the significance. Just a great time.
great reaction! My favorite part of this movie is the "short cut scene" which shows up in all three movies in the trilogy.
I saw this in 2004 or 2005 my dad rented it at blockbuster. When he got it there was only one copy available at blockbuster. A week later it was so in demand there was 10 copies

When child safety locks are on, the door can only be opened from outside, even when it's unlocked.

A great comedy, and a bunch of great zombie pop culture Easter eggs. For example, there’s a reason that Fulci’s is “The Place That Does All The Fish”, and it involves a zombie fighting a shark.

Also, this movie has a lot of hidden references to other zombie films, and even Ed's monologue to what Shaun needs to do to get over Liz, resembles close to what they did during the attack.
Wake up to a bloody Mary (the woman zombie in the garden has a name tag...Mary)
A bite at the king's head (lots of UK kings were called Philip)
Etc.
Even the place that does the fish, if you look at the advert in the phone books, it calls itself that too! 😂 So worth a 4th or 5th rewatch.
Ehh there weren't any English Kings called Phillip.
You have successfully just watched the O.G Zomcom! First of its kind! I believe zombieland was the next but! Truly, there aren’t enough of these films for the genre! Here’s to many more!!
Your gonna love worlds end! :)
Great reaction so glad you got this done!! :D
O.G zomcom? What on earth are you talking about? Have you never seen Return of the Living Dead (1985) or Braindead (1992)? Braindead (US title: Dead Alive) even managed to beat Shaun to be the first RomZomCom! 😃
I’m still new to your channel and I’m happy you reacted to this, my favorite part I bring up when I’m drunk to my friends is “there’s a girl in the garden!” And they automatically respond 😂
Edgar did a really nice breakdown of the 2 One-shot routines in SOTD and it's amazing that that scene was very nearly not shot for the movie, but they snuck it in and it's so iconic today
New to your channel, and I am loving your reactions so far!
5:00 I don’t see a lot of people talking about her. Before the trilogy, this cast did a tv series called spaced and she is one of the main characters. One of the episodes inspired them to do a zombie movie, hence this.
This is one of my all time favorites, it’s so cool to see someone appreciate all of the cool choices made by the director and actors! It manages to be both scary and funny, kinda like one of my other faves Scream.
Just noticed that zombie Barbara wasn’t that hostile…..until David shouted “Do it!” And even then it looked like she was hissing at David rather than Shaun, implying that deep down, even she didn’t like him.
18:30 dont forget it was raining the night before so the bin probably filled up with water allowing the flowers to live another day, seems quite ironic with what comes after 😅
So, David!!! Yeah, the character is an absolute TWAT! However, the actor Dylan Moran is an Irish stand-up comedian who is absolutely hilarious. Another fun little fact, both Nick Frost and Simon Pegg had guest appearances in Dylan's, BBC comedy series, Black Books, his character is the exact opposite of David, highly recommend giving the short, sweet series a watch.
This movie is a certified classic!!! I remember when I first saw it back in the day 😊❤ Angelina you should definitely watch " Dawn of the dead" next.
This is one of my favorite movies ever! It's funny, has lots of gore, touching moments... and the actors are great! The whole Three Flavours Cornetto trilogy is amazing, but this one is my fave
This movie has the best comedic timing of any movie I've ever seen!
I never watched it because I knew I wouldn't find it funny, but you're reactions are, so thanks, ha ha.
Glad that you’ll see the remaining films of The Cornetto Trilogy! My favorite zombie comedy films!
9:13 “please notice what’s happening” as she forgot that this is the same 1 one take she admired earlier 😂😂
So much to catch! Easy to miss
I like how Shaun notices that something is wrong but when he is depressed and probably hungover he doesn’t know what’s going on in front of him
The quick cut editing montage is Edgar Wright style. He uses it often, like a signature style.
Fido was a decent zombie movie that kinda shows you what life would be like at the end of Shawn of the dead.
damn haven't seen that one in yeaaaaaars, I loved it when I was younger
Thanks for reminding me about this movie lol. It has been a while since I've seen it so I'll definitely be watching it again. Great movie😄👍
This movie was Nick Frost's (Ed) first movie! He got his first part in the British comedy series 'Spaced' with Simon Pegg (Shaun) after being flatmates (roommates) with him for a long time. That comedy was slightly based on Simon and Nick's time together that role. Simon actually asked Edgar Wright to cast Nick for the role of Ed as he felt no one else could pull off the chemistry of a longtime flatmate like him. Paid off in the execution completely. 😂 🙌
If you look at the phone book when Shaun is calling the place to try and make a reservation, it's Actually listed as "The Place With The Fish"
Absolutely one of my favorite zombie movies as well. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE CORNETTO TRILOGY! My experience of this movie, I was actually a child when I first watched this 😂 Still one of my favs! ❤️
Great to see you having so much fun watching this xD
3:57 "I was totally munted last night" basically drunk/wasted etc. interchangeable for drugs and alcohol
A British modern classic. Very happy to see you react to this!
gotta admit... i'm blown away by your coomentary!
normally i'd skip through to where the fun begins... but you've got me as enthralled as the movie did the first time round lol
edit: why didn't i sub?
ahhh crap! am i turning into Shawn? lol
I can't remember the exact wording, but the scene the day before when they're discussing the "pub crawl" is them spelling out the rest of film. Like 'the little princess, the Kings head', all refer to people in their group, "and then back here for shots" - literally
9:06 The 'apocalypse' day was filmed before the 'normal' day; Simon naturally tripped on the kerb in the former so he had to act it again for the latter.
terrific reaction.
NB This is the first film directed by Edgar Wright after his stint of directing the TV Series - Spaced (written by Simon Pegg and Jessica Hynes (who led the mirror team in this movie))
Old Zombie movie called "Dawn of the Dead"...ergo why the name of this movie is "Shaun of the Dead".
Edgar wright just DOESNT MISS.
