I really enjoy the black and white OG night of the living dead. And I will always love the Zach Snyder dawn of the dead. But obviously this movie is fantastic as well.
@JohnSmith-im8qt my step brother Jason has an actual piece of the original house of Night of the Living Dead! He collects movie memorabilia, and he has a piece of the interior wall, and the front door knob, still with the fake blood on them! Signed by the set master, and with a letter of authenticity!
Favorite detail is Shawn getting the Diet Coke instead of the regular, since he’s trying to be healthier so he can get Liz back, amazing attention to detail.
@sierra5360 I'm in America, and I've been loving this movie for over 12 or 14 years. It is bar none one of the most entertaining but at the same time inelegant movies I've ever seen while still being a hilarious comedy.
Wtf you talking about NOT one of the best?! There's a fair amount of interviews of both directors and actors in awe of him. From his use of scenery to music to pacing in his movies, you'll find film nerds analyzing his body of work and how innovative it is.
Such a brilliant piece of a storytelling. Setting up a routine, then immediately subverting it & allowing the inherent "wrongness" of the next scene speak for itself.
You see it again with a lot of the people shown in the beginning scenes. Example: One is the woman that is the zombie in the backyard shown in the beginning scanning items at a supermarket market. The kids walking down the alley way is also shown durning the pick up of the parents.
Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz having recurring call-backs to other parts of the films were what made them so rewatchable. It’s rare you find a movie (or multiple) that you don’t mind rewatching because you probably missed something the first time that makes the second even better. Edgar wright definitely knew wtf he was doing when directing those movies
Sometimes I come across videos or shorts like this and I want to watch a specific scene from one of these movies. I put it on and want to fast forward but start watching the beginning and end up sitting through the entire movie. SO REWATCHABLE
The scene that was filmed where he jumped over the falling fence is my parents house. They originally wanted to come through the house but that got changed. When he says I know a shortcut and looks at the gang - it’s not an alleyway they look at in real life (it’s just the other side of our garden 😅). A lot of scenes were filmed in the North London area (near to Whetstone and Barnet). As a side note they were in the garden for about 3 days just to get that few seconds of a scene. There was a small trampoline and they removed a section of our real wooden fence with their own (presume a stunt one).
@@jamesclarke5397 they did the take so many times but if he jumped on that wooden fence (it sticks out in the middle) it would hurt a ton. So yeah no wonder they asked to remove 1 piece and put their own in lol. Side note - when they did the car scene where is drifts and comes to a halt - that was two roads away from us. We watched it when they filmed it. Edit: the car scenes, in peoples gardens and smaller suburb areas were all filmed around here. The pub scenes, the scene in this video and others were filmed elsewhere (I think Hatfield, Radlett, etc - somewhere more north of Barnet)
@@3MrNiceGuy15 they really are, this was Simon pegg at his best, starring in smaller budget culty sort of movies suits him rather than supporting roles in these Hollywood films. Did the same director do all 3?
That whole scene had me crying laughing. Especially when they are running with Barbara and she has that excited look on her face like she’s gleefully running through a meadow even though her husband just got murdered
Shaun of the Dead is 💯 my favorite movie of all time. The cinematography is so freaking good. The dialogue filled in by background noise and character outbursts are the best.
Growing up, me & my friends always watched this movie on rainy days to the point that I’m rainy days lately I always watch it. Childhood movie & still a movie I watch a lot today.
@@fysmike1998 oh right it's. Worlds end. That's ones mediocre as well. Shaun of the dead and hott fuzz are my favorite movies if all time though. I watch them once a year
Hot Fuzz is so intricate as well! I watched that movie so much, so many times I would find things that I missed before. Classic masterpiece of filmmaking!
Hot Fuzz in a nut shell: 1st half = setup 50 jokes. 2nd half = pay off all 50 jokes. (I don't know the exact number, but it's not about that). Never seen anything else remotely like it.
Me and my brother literally do the same damn thing lol especially when we play shooter games "top left.. got'em" "reload.. on it" ooo headshot nice.. thanks"
Also, him throwing his name tag onto the sink basin and having it land perfectly framed in the camera was practical, not CGI. They literally made Simon Pegg stand there and throw that name tag until it landed how they wanted it to.
One of the only directors to properly use visual gags in every movie. Scott Pilgrim Vs The World, Hot Fuzz, Baby Driver, The Worlds End... it goes on and on
Shaun is one of those movies I turn on for background noise but then end up actually sitting and watching all the way through. Such a great movie and so underrated/under-appreciated
For clarity☝🏼 One take is before the apocalypse and one is after it’s happened, both are in the movie, it’s the same movie there’s just one, you’re welcome creator of this🎉
Literally everyone knew this. The video even has captions. One says pre zed. The other says post zed. And it's obvious just from watching that the world is falling apart in the second one. Even then the voice over guy TELLS us that Sean goes home and finds every TV channel blank People would have to miss 500 different clues first in order to find your comment "helpful".
@@ryonaicorpProbably because you couldn’t understand it. It contained logic and reasoning, and wasn’t written in an attempt to gain likes. You should spend the day thinking about how much of a sad, pathetic human being you are and how you might be able to change for the better.
@@JohnSmith-im8qtI actually didn’t get it a first, specifically, I didn’t get why it’s such an incredible scene. Looking at it, it’s just two similar scenes, pre-zed and post-zed. Or maybe that’s the point, that Shaun is so apathetic about his current situation in life that something as a zombie apocalypse didn’t changed how he viewed his life.
I LOVE this movie. Now I've gotta watch it tonight. BUT! I'm confused about this video. Can someone please explain to me what this upload is about? It seems to be the same scene, but filmed two different ways/times, which is super common... What have I missed???
I remember watching this movie a long time ago and wondering why it wasnt much bigger. Nobody i talked to had heard about it or seen it. Such an underrated gem
The juxtaposition of these two scenes is what got me to watch the rest of the movie. It was the first movie I had seen by these folks and the cinematic enjoyment I received has kept me watching everything they do. It wasn’t just a spoof of zombie movies, to me.
It's literally one of my favorite movies ever for comparative scenes like this. I love Zombie movies, but this movie is amazing on it's own level. A cinematic marvel of modern times
i loved the slip in what should be blood or zombie mess after he goes to the till from the cooler. showing exactly how disassociated from real life and situational awareness and just stick on "routine" mode, like he done it for 30 years. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
