In the movie, the characters fight zombies. This is a subtle nod to the fact that this is a zombie movie.

Remember when that character said hi? This is a direct reference to the 1984 film where the main character actually says the word hi

They missed that "Shaun" was actually in reference to the main character's name

Still love that “We’re coming to get you Barbara!”

As the main characters huddle around Shaun holding the rifle in the Winchester as the first wave of zombies start to flow in, Shaun says "get behind me! Get behind me!" just like Han Solo in Star Wars, just as storm troopers are breaking though the doors of the cell block on the Death Star.

I think you would have done a better coverage if you just played the whole film. It is 99.9% References.

The shop being called "Landis" is actually very clever as there used to be a very common shop in the UK called Londis.

When Shaun says "He's got an arm off!" I think that's a reference to Monty Python

Sees shadow THATS JUST LIKE THAT ONE MOVIE!

You forgot one Panic by the smiths with the lyric "panic on the streets of London"

People laugh at me when I say that this is my favorite movie. But it is. It's a rarified quality of filmmaking. It works on so many levels. On one hand, it's possible to enjoy it without knowing any of the references. On the other hand, the fact that pretty much every scene in the film contains some sort of reference while still forming a cohesive story is almost unbelievable. Think about most movies that try to reference and parody pop culture: they're usually complete trash, with the references taking the place of storytelling while mocking their source materials. In SotD, Wright offers a really solid, and sometimes even emotionally powerful narrative while also weaving in hundreds of references (many more than this video identifies) to other films. That shows how much Wright and Pegg genuinely love the pop culture they reference in this film.

Girlfriend Liz lives at the Cunningham House. Friday the 13th (1980) was directed by Sean S . Cunningham

Missed the timesplitters reference when ed is playing video games

When Shaun yells “Get behind me, get behind me” in the bar, that’s a reference to Han Solo in Star Wars.

And you didn’t mention Trisha! “You sleep with it??”

You missed that Chris Martin is actually one of the zombies

Edgar Wright is seriously one of my all time favorite creators and directors.

"Don't stop me now" is playing and Shaun says "Kill the Queen" (reference to the band "Queen" and the song "Killer Queen"?

it's crazy how well-written this movie is, even in super fast forward.

The “Landis” reference is even smarter when you know that “Londis” is a brand of supermarket in the UK. So it’s a pun within a pun

in this scene there is a tree and if you turn that into paper you can write the word alex, this is a referance to when shakespeare says this word when talking to a neighbour when he was 12

Some of these are super weak comparisons..

That clicking sound throughout was so infuriating

Umm... The walk by Simon Pegg with "the shadow", was actually a reference to the first time you see a zombie in "Day of the Dead". Not the reference you named. It's under the title in the beginning. The shuffle and then pan up to see the zombie let out a moan the same was Shaun does, only in Shaun's case it was just a yawn.

The Shawn shadow at :52 is referencing “Doctor Tongue” at the beginning of Day Of The Dead

I love how he’s talking about a British movie and when shaun says ‘DONT POINT THAT GUN AT MY MUM’ he puts it in the subtitles as Mom, this is a reference about Americans not knowing about any English language differences in other countries.

They missed a HUGE one. The jumping on the trampoline to get over the fence is a BLATANT reference to "Zombies ate my Neighbors" for the SNES. 🧟‍♂️

The Hereditary clicking sound 😥

Would've been nice to see a reference made to Jessica Hynes (nee Stevenson) cameo, as well as some of the other small cameos and zombies (Tamsin Greig, Martin Freeman, Bill Bailey, Matt Lucas, etc). Also the brilliant Shining hedge maze reference with Bill Nighy's stepdad character.

The music at the end is "The Gonk" by Henry chappell. That piece stuck with me when I first saw it in the early 80's. I got the DVD in the 90's and since then "The Gonk" has been my ringtone for when my kids call.

Wasnt expecting the Spaced References in the vid. Well done.

Charlton Heston reference was more likely to do with the fact he was president of the NRA and David was now holding the gun.

Jessica Hynes plays 'Yvonne'. That's a nod to Tom Savini, the special makeup effects on Day of the Dead, who also has a V in his name.

When Shaun switches on the tv on the morning when they find the zombie panic by the smiths plays +1 music reference

9'06" - I think that elevator was actually a reference to Aliens. Look at the controls she used.

You also missed another Spaced reference..."how's that for a slice of Fried Gold" :)

Did you mean Zombie Nation BY Kernkraft 400

What's even better about the Charlton Heston reference is that Heston was one of the most famous supporters of guns' rights, exactly after the character took the gun. Love it.

The tension created to scare is similar to the tension created to make an audience laugh. That's why horror and comedy can go together so well.

shaun; *breathes Vanity Fair: this is actually a reference to humans. who edgar wright was a huge fan of

They forgot about the group they run into which I believe was in reference to "spaced"

7:53 "plays too much resident evil" mmmhm yeah, definatly not because he took too much "cheap speed" before playing resident evil....

This is brilliant. Thank you sooo much!

Love when a presenter has no real clue over his references. Just did his homework assignment like a good boy 😂😂

Missed Gramdmaster Flash's "White Lines."

The ‘Battle Royale’ poster... pretty big pop culture reference you missed there.

You did some amazing job here. Appreciate that

You appear to have missed as many references as you cite. But then again it must be harder to get all of the English nuances if you're not a native.

You forgot to mention that Shaun of the Dead and every movie in the Living Dead series have the word ‘Dead’ in the title.

You forgot the spaced reference "thanks babe"

"Yeah Boi" is a 2000 reference? Flav said that on It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back in 1988.

I loved the style of video! Please make more! Though if you do, perhaps change the tongue clicking sound to something more pleasant-sounding.

The guy who played the pub owner, isn’t he a stunt man

Honestly one of the best films to come out of Britain

Wow, I loved this video. Well put together and one of my favourite films. Wonder if you could do Hot Fuzz next?

Most of these were pretty spot on, well done! One of my favorite movies, a cult classic for sure and now we see why! It was an amalgamation of edgar wrights love for zombie flicks.

I was drinking a Pepsi when I first saw this movie, drove a Honda to the theater, and slept in a Tempurpedic mattress that morning.

You see this shadow? Well this this other film also has shadows

One of my favorite movies. Some references were waaay obscure, but good job

you missed when they are hitting the zombie in the pub to the rhythm of the queen song "dont stop me now" is a directed reference to clockwork orange

Are you kidding with the Dart Board...

You missed one... they play a game called "time splitters" on the ps2 2 times throughout. Time splitters is a game which is heavily based around zombies

You missed the part when they were drunk and Pete enters and throws the second disk he ever bought out the window. In that room he has a poster that says Shaun's DJ name

The guy narrating sounds like hes young enough that shaun of the dead probably came out before he was born hahaha

Also, the Amon Tobin poster and other DJ/electro venues hanged on the walls in Shaun’s flat!

You missed Shaun and Ed (and a passing zombie) doing "White Lines" as they left the pub.

I agree that it could be considered a parody. But I really feel like this one was so much more than just a parody. I mean there's obvious moments that are clearly parody of something that came before. But parody to me seems to be more like making fun of something. And while Shaun of the Dead absolutely pokes fun at many zombie films and for sure definitely makes references to other zombie films especially Romero but I've always seen Shaun of the Dead as a standalone comedy about zombies that pays more homage to zombie films that came before. I think it's more than a parody. Other than that this video is awesome. Actually even including that the videos awesome but I digress, Edgar Wright's movies are just packed full of small little details like this and I freaking love it so thank you for pointing out even more that I'd never noticed myself

Random thing Edgar right in the fight at the bar wanted it set to the happiest song he knew... And every hit is with the beat of the music.

How did you miss the “Don’t Stop Me Now” song by Queen

What about queen? When they played dont stop me now in the fight scene

Who ever made this is amazing

Brilliant. Absolutely friggin brilliant!!!

God I love this movie Now we wait for the second movie

8:40 Charlton Heston was an NRA "Gun Nut" .........not about being the Hero.

Little did you know that these were all just coincidences and Elgar just takes the credit...

That tires reference made me smile so much always loved that character.

You missed the second song (after the Dawn of the Dead intro) which is Ghost Town, by the Specials.

I’m not sure how quoting record names is a reference...

Excellent video

wow..this is going to make watching a movie i already love even better.. i picked up on a lot of the 'Spaced' ones..but there are soo many that i missed...the 'Dazed and Confused' one had me cracking up in this video😅😅👍

The actors are playing roles just as in the movie "Star Wars"

You completely missed the dawn of the dead music that was used when shaun and Ed were planning their rescue/escape.

You did your research.! Top notch script and editing!

wtf there are so many references to stuff, love the vid!

Happy 15th anniversary of Shaun of the Dead!

You forgot one- Shawn and Pete are roommates, just like Bert and Ernie in Sesame Street. Oh and also, everyone has eyes, just like in the movie Smokey and the Bandit 2.

The dart board and pool cue attacks in the Winchester are a throwback reference to the Darts Night poster and "Killer" pool tournament advertised on the wall when Shaun is drowning his sorrows earlier in the film.

I can’t see Peter Serafenowicz without hearing his Neil Morrisey impression

Kernkraft is the artist, Zombie Nation is the track name.

In the scene where Shaun and Ed meet up with Liz, Dianne and David, you can hear a fire bell in the background. *tHis is A nOd To ePisODE 14 sEasOn 5 of ThE oFfICE uS in WhiCh DwIgHt sImULaTes a FiRE iN tHE wOrkPlACE.*

Dude, this is sick!

Having a supermarket called Landis was ideal as there's actually one called Londis.

You should've mentioned why Coldplay were even in the film in the first place! They're all very good friends of Simon but, especially Chris. Simon is often referred to as the "fifth member of Coldplay" for that same reason :)

Half of these aren’t references, the other half are complete reaches

With Shaun waking up in the morning I always took that more of a reference to the opening of Day of the Dead with the iconic shot of the zombie missing the lower part of his jaw. Which is also the first zombie we see in Day of the Dead. So there's a parallel between being introduced to our major characters in both films, Shaun in Shaun of the Dead and the zombies in Day of the Dead

Nice!!! Make more videos like that!

This is a brilliant video, please do hot fuzz next

Great video, but the tongue clicking noise between facts is horrendous

Yes do this with every Edgar Wright film

It's because in 28 Days Later and it's sequel 28 Weeks Later THEY ARE NOT ZOMBIES! They aren't undead, they aren't seeking human flesh to consume...they are NOT zombies.
