The 'Dead' series is 6 films starting with 'Night of the Living Dead' and fun fact in the 4th film 'Land of the Dead' Simon Pegg and Edgar Wright make cameo appearances because George A Romero loved Shaun of the Dead, 'Dawn of the Dead' is the 2nd film in the series. The original idea to make the film Shaun of the Dead came from an episode of the TV Series 'Spaced' (Season1, Episode3) where Simon Pegg was playing Resident Evil on the Playstation, and he was doing what gamers did playing it all night and then getting hallucinations about zombies caused by sleep deprivation. 'Spaced' the TV series ran for 2 seasons and is a UK TV cult classic, it's a wonderful show with quite a few of the same faces from the Cornetto Trilogy, I hope you watch the whole trilogy, all the films are great.
Another fun fact, when they pass the second survivor group in the alley, none of those actors are extras, they're all renowned famous actors in their own right, and just all wanted cameo parts in the film as there was a lot of hype around the making of this film due to the success of the Spaced TV series.
33:45 When you say "how do you not notice when things are that bad around you"... That's the thing, though. Even before the zombies look at the state of his life and his relationship and his flat. He hadn't noticed how bad any of that was either because he was just not paying attention to anything around him.
There's another comedy horror I love called 'Planet Terror' which is a spoof Grindhouse b-movie double feature including the film 'Death Proof', the two films are best watched as a double feature and include some spoof trailers too, as a whole package it's a huge amount of fun. Planet Terror was directed by Robert Rodriguez who also directed the incredible film 'From Dusk Till Dawn' and 'Death Poof' was directed by Quentin Tarantino who is also a huge Shaun of the Dead fan.
"[about Ed] He's not my boyfriend!" "[handing beer to Shaun] It might be a bit warm, the cooler's off." "Thanks, babe. [winks at Ed]" Fun Fact: George A. Romero, creator of the movies to which this movie pays homage and lampoons, was so impressed with Simon Pegg and Edgar Wright's work that he asked them to cameo in Land Of The Dead (2005) as zombies. Spaced Background Fact: Many of the zombie extras are fans of Spaced (1999), which also starred Simon Pegg and Nick Frost and was also directed by Edgar Wright. They were recruited through the Spaced Out fan website. All of the newsreaders and television presenters are real people portraying themselves. Multiverse Sequel Fact: Simon Pegg and Edgar Wright considered a sequel that would replace zombies with another monster, but decided against it, as they were pleased with this movie as a stand-alone product, and thought too many characters died to continue the story. The proposed title idea "From Dusk Till Shaun" did have an afterlife as a mocked up poster that can be seen in Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse (2018).

my favorite tiny detail i noticed after a few rewatches, edd is dealing drugs to shaun's employee at the store. it's there if you listen to the conversations.
I agree with the zombie movies mentioned like Zombieland, Train to Busan, and others. If you speak Spanish, or don't mind subtitles, Juan of the Dead is fun.
Aria C, this is such a fun movie. I really love the opening credits. I totally agree with you on how great the movie is shot and told with the transitions, and I absolutely adore Diane in this movie too. How Shaun is able to avoid death when he goes to the store is both incredible and hysterical. David's death is disgusting, however the special effects in that sequence is absolutely perfect. I totally understand why this is now your favorite zombie movie, it is great. Everyone is telling you to watch the rest of the Cornetto Trilogy, which is justified. I want to suggest that you check out George Romero's zombie films. In particular: Night of the Living Dead, and Dawn of the Dead. Please keep watching more comedies in the future. It's fun to hear you laugh and see you smile. ❤🙂
george romero wrote and directed a trilogy of zombie flicks called "Night of the Living Dead" (1968), this is the classic grandaddy of all zombie films, "Dawn of the Dead" (1978) and "Day of the Dead" (1985). the last 2 are ok but the first one is GREAT! "from dusk til dawn" (1996) is a VAMPIRE film directed by robert rodriguez. but it starts as a crime film. "shaun of the dead" is my favorite zombie parody. better than "zombieland" (2009) but "zombieland" is pretty good too. another excellent zombie film is "28 days later" (2002). and its sequel "28 weeks later" (2007) might actually be better. the sequel has one of the most INTENSE opening scenes in movie history. a very underrated film. thanks for the video.
12:29 "I hope, if there is _ever_ a zombie apocalypse, the zombies are _this_ slow." And keep track of your blunt objects. You'll need to be able to locate them in a hurry.
Shaun of the dead is a homage to horror the dead movies, like dawn, night, like the we're coming to get you Barbara is a line from the original NIGHT of the living dead, it is a homage not a parody, but it is also a zombie lore in its own right
Shaun Of The Dead is a joy; I have a lot of fun watching it. However, the best part of the Cornetto Trilogy is the second, Hot Fuzz. You must watch that!
Zombie apocalypse is not possible because the brain is the most delicious. Victims brains would be eaten so corpses could not reanimate. The first zombie(s) would not infect anyone as their victims would be dead not undead.
If you want to see how Simon Pegg, Nick Frost, and Edgar Wright got started... check out the two season British comedy, "Spaced." It has a similar genre bending style to the Cornetto Trilogy. The girl Shaun keeps bumping into was Simon Pegg's costar on "Spaced."
Thanks Aria, that was fun! I like how you were wracking your brain to figure out what SOTD was a parody of after mentioning DOTD so many times😊. It was refreshing to see a reaction that appreciated all the subtle details (like the TV channels strung together making a sentence), the filming style and the humour in general. So many just don’t get it. 👍👍
Definitely continue with the Cornetto trilogy with 'Hot Fuzz' & 'The Worlds End'! 'Paul' is a fun movie also starring Simon Pegg & Nick Frost. I think you'd enjoy 'Baby Driver', too, which is directed by Edgar Wright
This movie pays homage to the Zombie films and in particular the original Dawn of the Dead (1978). The director of the original loved this movie. Shawn of the Dead opened with Sountrack music by Goblin from Dawn of the Dead. The scene where the zombies open up the guy's intestines is something George Romero was famous for in his zombie films. Romero's film were slow moving zombies as well. There are other homages, but you get my meaning.
There are actually two Dawn Of The Dead movies. The first one from the 70's is one of the original zombie films. The remake is very watchable. They are both good, imo.
Shaun of the dead is a great film. It is a play on the original name Dawn of the Dead by the Godfather of zombie movies George A. Romero. Zack Snyder did a remake in 2004 which was actually pretty good with the difference that the zombies were not slow at all. Shaun of the Dead is the first of what is called 'The Cornetto trilogy' because in each we see a cornetto and in all 3 Simon Pegg (Shaun) and Nick Frost (Ed) are the leads. Apart from that they're not related and the actors are in completely different roles. But the 3 of them are a parody of sorts on a specific genre have some great action set pieces, are funny and have just an amazing editing. So you should watch the other two films, Hot Fuzz and The World's End.
I like the original Dawn of The Dead from 1978. I have not seen the remake. The original is sort of long but it is special. The gory bits are not all that realistic, but that is part of the charm.
Yes, "Dawn of the Dead" ist a classic zombie-horror-movie, and the title "Shawn of the Dead" is a direct reference to that movie - though the story is not a direct reference to that movie in particular but to the whole zombie-genre in general.
LOL! Fun one, Aria! 😆 Yes, as many have said, you will love the other two of the cornetto trilogy, especially Hot Fizz. 😎 Thanks for sharing this one! Oh, and I think you'll get a kick out of "Phillip" in Love Actually and also About Time, have you seen those yet?
the group that meets shaun, they went onto make Yvonne of the dead a better funded movie (not really but i would hve loved to have seen it) shaun probably had a hangover as well. so that would mak you more oblivious
From Dusk till Dawn is completely different genre. It is not so blatantly sarcastic but still funny. Please watch Desperado (Salma Hayek, Antonio Banderas, and Steve Buscemi) as it is far superior to Dusk till Dawn. Both are written, directed, and edited by Robert Rodriguez. A highly underrated filmaker. He has also done a few collaborations with Tarantino. There are so few reactions to Desperado. Can I be the only person who thinks its a classic and a great movie?
One of the greatest Horror-Comedies of all-time. Edgar Wright is a genius and Pegg & Frost are one of the finest comedy duos in Cinematic History. Cheers and Happy Hump Day. 🥃☮❤
2:13 It's a curious fact about the London in this movie; a fact that, I'm inclined to infer, differentiates it from _actual_ London. Shaun keeps taking Liz to the Winchester. No where else. Why? Well, because going to another pub requires a reservation which requires foresight which he cannot seem to muster. A question that is never actually answered, in this movie, is why he can't just take her somewhere _else._ London is a major, metropolitan city. One thing that means is that the pubs are not exactly hard to find. Look around, a little.
I don't want to bitch about my day lol but sometimes when I'm irritated from a long day of work dealing with dumb costumers alone in this foreign country. Is relaxing to watch an Aria reaction with her calm voice lol😅
If you watch a Dawn of the Dead, watch the 1978 first. Shaun of The Dead is a loose parody of that movie! It is also considered one of, if not THE, greatest zombie movies made.
Watched a few clips of this movie when I was 15! In my imagination, I remembered that I used to pretend that Shaun had a 6-year-old son named Alex, played by *Isaac Hempstead-Wright* who lost his mom from an illness and that's why he (Shaun) was dating Liz to have Alex have a mom again. During the more adventures, Alex makes 3 new friends that join the "Winchester" team such a 4-year-old girl named Jenny, played by *Elle Fanning* and 2 fantasy creatures that live in cardboard boxes 📦 called *boxtrolls* and their names were Fish and Shoe! Note: Yes, I am aware that those cast and characters are from a different movie, *The Boxtrolls (2014)* but just in some fun reason, I wanted to make an interesting crossover for this movie! 😂
Once again you try to get reason and logic mixed with comedy. The first rule of comedy is there are no rules so having your former loved ones in games shows fits the comedy being implied.
Please please please watch n react n enjoy...the remake...Zac Snyder... directed it...ya Goofy m8te from Australia now now now go go go lol...hurry up ....lol
