There's a fan theory that when Shaun and his friends run into the identical party of survivors lead by his old friend, the other group is actually the cast of the serious, higher-budget zombie movie taking place at the same time. :)
I don't know I think the girl is even more goofy than Shaun! lol
The other group are so much more successful than Shaun.
Shauns friend is jessica stevenson. shes one of the co-creators of the show spaced along side pegg and wright.
@@shattaredentertainment4782 Spaced was such a great show. I tracked it down years ago when I found out it was made by Wright, Pegg and Frost and just loved it.
Didn't Simon Pegg and/or Edgar Wright say this themselves? :-)
Gotta react to Hot Fuzz now that you’ve seen this. It’s from the same writers/director and has the same lead actors and it’s probably an even better film.
Yes, that is the natural "next one" on this.
@@am17frans and after that,"The World's End", the cornetto trilogy by Edgar Wright
Hot Fuzz is definitely the best film of the three. I didn't like Shaun of the Dead that much when I first saw it, but I loved Hot Fuzz right away. It's so much fun.
Also ZOMBIELAND!
for the greater good
Please continue watching the rest of Edgar Wright's movies. His ability to transition from scene to scene and his callbacks from previous scenes is amazing. Every movie he makes he improves from his last one.
100%
Seconded. Hot Fuzz is also great. The third one is in my opinion not as good as the other two, but still worth a watch.
Baby Driver is a great. It actually originates from a music video concept he did a while ago with Noel Fielding and Nick Frost in :)
Blue Song by Mint Royal : ruclips.net/video/iHbndkcLM6A/видео.html
Scott Pilgrim is also super underrated.
@@jmhaces I hear people say this a lot, but I honestly think the third is WILDLY underrated. HotFuzz is probably still my favourite of the three, but Worlds End doesnt get anywhere near the love it should. It is by far the most emotional of the three, with the subplot around alcoholism, depression and just growing up generally.
So of course everyone's going to recommend Hot Fuzz and The World's End (rightly so) but the series Spaced doesn't get any love from reactors, which is odd, because it's what Simon Pegg, Nick Frost and director Edgar Wright did before Shaun of the Dead, and is a hilarious cult classic series of two 7 episode seasons. Maybe Spaced will get a spot in the polls after the Cornetto trilogy?
Spaced is fantastic! Would love to see Mary react to it.
I love Spaced. Got the whole series on DVD.
It's very dated, but I've always loved it so... to me it doesn't matter.
@@JanPospisilArt I think it's a product of its time, and it will be as fun to watch now as it was then. Maybe some stuff goes over people's heads, but overall it will continue to amuse and amaze.
The idea for Shaun of the Dead actually kind of came from a Spaced scene. When he is tripping (on I forget what) he imagines he is killing zombies like the video game he was playing.
Simon Pegg and Jessica Hynes who plays Yvonne who saves the day at the end co-wrote and starred a UK comedy series called 'Spaced' directed by Edgar Wright. One episode featured Simon Pegg's character hallucinating after playing Resident Evil 2. It was this episode that inspired him to write this. A lot of the zombie extras are fans of Spaced who heeded the call on a Fan Newsgroup to come and play roles for free in order to keep in budget.
"What's the matter, David? Never taken a shortcut before?" Gets me every time!!! 🤣🤣
Bill Nighy sings the Christmas song in "Love Actually" - my go-to Christmas movie.
Yes, Dogs CAN look up.
Just dangle a well deserved treat above them for proof (then give it to them, of course).
There's so many good things I can say about this movie to someone who's never seen it, so I usually say nothing and tell them to just watch it. One of my favorites.
Congratulations on recognising Bill Nighy from behind. I thought I was the only weird one when I recognised him at once in his Davy Jones makeup in Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest.
Even if he was completely covered up, I’d recognize that voice anywhere!
@@goldenageofdinosaurs7192 The same with Bruce Spence for me. I didn't know he was in the LotR movies beforehand, but recognised him in a second as the mouth of Sauron.
Simon Pegg and Nick Frost became best friends when they both realised that they were big fans of Star Wars and started making droid noises at one another.
Hot fuzz next please. Its the second part of the conetto trilogy.
Actually laughing at the intro LOL the excitement for the 2 cat party is real and mutual!!!
Such a brilliantly constructed film. All the foreshadowing, setup, and payoff. Like how EVERY detail in that first walk to the corner shop is beat-for-beat reflected later once the zombie apocalypse has started. Kid's football is bloody, jogger is hauling ass, windshield the guy was washing is now smashed, the neighbor leaving his apartment is now lying dead on the doormat, etc. Hot Fuzz is also great, but a little bit less "horror."
Eh, Hot Fuzz is pretty horror. Crime horror, but horror. Lower body count than here, true, but they still go for it in some of the scenes. I certainly would agree that it's not more horror than Sean.
There's also call-backs between the Cornetto films; witness the fence scene in this movie, and the one in Hot Fuzz.
Fun fact: Edgar Wright shot those two scenes back to back on the first day, pretty much just to prove he could.
The 'Dogs can't look up' running gag started because on Simon Peggs series 'Spaced' (with a lot of the same actors) the dog on set refused to look up on command for a scene.
Dogs can look up. I have been looked up at by dogs on roofs, in trees, up stairs. My neighbor's dog violently barks at and chases nearly every bird flying overhead
The entire Cornetto-trilogy is bloody awesome!
The Cornetto trilogy is an anthology series of British comedic genre films directed by Edgar Wright, written by Wright and Simon Pegg, produced by Nira Park, and starring Pegg and Nick Frost. The trilogy consists of Shaun of the Dead (2004), Hot Fuzz (2007), and The World's End (2013).
@@TheJEMster70 You made me smile, because your comment reads like a reddit bot chipping in :)
The IT Crowd is pretty hilarious
Yesss, excellent suggestion x
It is very good. A shame Graham Linehan chose to feed his brain to the white-supremacism underlying TERFism.
Fascism, kids; not even once.
The team that did this also did a TV series "Spaced" before this movie and 2 other movies - "Hot Fuzz" and "The World's End" they called the 3 movies the blood & ice cream trilogy- in reference to the different flavour cornetto ice cream that gets bought in each movie
I love this movie and your reaction was very entertaining! Glad you liked it too. I hope one day you watch Hot Fuzz, it’s by the same director and both the main stars in this are main characters in that too. It’s got a bit of a crime angle which I know you’re also a fan of
I feel like I recognise him, that’s Peter serafinowitz, the voice of darth Maul, he was in guardians of the galaxy. I think of him from black books, “hello Fran”
I suggest the movie "PAUL" from 2011! Also with Simon Pegg and Nick Frost.
YES. One of my absolute favorites from this past decade.
you really need to do an Edgar Wright deep dive with the rest of the Cornetto-Trilogy HOT FUZZ and THE WORLDS END, then BABY DRIVER and to put the cherry on top.... SCOTT PILGRIM VS THE WORLD
I second this. Hope Mary see this...
This was a great film - Gag reel is awesome as well - David is in a great series called "Black Books" which is hilarious! Life of Brian !!!
Ed laid out the whole movie
“We’ll have a Bloody Mary first thing [they kill a zombie named Mary in the backyard], a bite at the King’s Head [Shaun’s stepdad Phillip gets bitten in the head], couple at the Little Princess [they pick up Liz, David, and Dianne], stagger back here [imitating the zombies to get through a horde and reach the Winchester], and bang, back at the bar for shots [they use the pub’s Winchester rifle to shoot the zombies].”
Yeah Edgar Wrights writing is untouched. Hot Fuzz is my favorite because every single line in the movie has a payoff later. Absolutely brilliant
@@themiIes Fascist! Hag!
@@thetechsite9619 😅
You missed Martin Freeman - Watson to Cumberbatch’s “Sherlock” and Everett Ross in Civil War and Black Panther!
Animated Mary, chair dancing to bar man zombie being beaten by the gang is possibly the funniest thing i seen this year... 👏 👏 😹
Hi, great job! "A Fish Called Wanda", is a good British comedy!
"I'm not into fart jokes..." Laughs at the fart joke at the end. Priceless.
I was gonna go to bed, but then this dropped and now I'm eating Cornetto in the middle of the night. Curse you Cornetto Trilogy!
Wonderful that you got to see this movie, and glad you responded to the dark humour. I'm always hit by the emotional scenes towards the end, as the film is ultimately about the importance of relationships - friendships and romantic - and the forgiveness, tolerance and compromise needed in both.
You were probably thinking of Bill Nighy's appearance in "Love, Actually."
The movie you are looking for is Love Actually where Bill Nighy played a down on his luck rock star. Bill Nighy is great btw. Excellent actor :)
"Dog soldiers" would be perfect for this month
I like how sometimes, when you find something shocking, you say "Ni". You are like one of The Knights that say Ni. I shall find you a shrubbery. :)
you recognized Simon Pegg from the new Star trek series. He's Scotty there 😄
The movie was Love Actually with Bill Nighy. He also played Davey Jones in the Pirates of the Caribbean movies
When I first saw this, I recognized him from Underworld.
17:01 -- the fence scene is repeated in Hot Fuzz and The World's End, so keep that in mind. Cornetto references are in both as well.
What Ed said to Shaun described what would happen to them the next day, but in a clever way (the "bloody Mary" goes without saying)
Something to watch for in the entire Cornetto trilogy is the fact that they're all deconstructions of various genres. About half or so of the movie plays with the tropes and foibles, and the other half is all those tropes and foibles done right. It's insanely impressive, like watching someone disassemble and reassemble an F1 motor and then drive it to the chequered flag. Wright et al are next level.
Sean's tall room-mate is the inimitable Peter Seranfinowicz, who was Andy's rich friend in the London episode of Parks & Rec, and, more recently, one of the best parts of the sadly-cancelled reboot of The Tick, which is absolutely worth seeing.
The second season of the Tick was a blast.
Me and my soon-to-be college girlfriend watched this movie in the dorms circa 2005 and had a romantic connection halfway through the film. It was like a spark of magic and I will always associate this movie with that feeling of "love at first sight". She broke up with me a year later, but the movie still bangs.
Gremlins (1984) was my first comedy horror. 😄
I've seen a few people do a reaction of this movie. I laugh when EVERY ONE of them started to sing along with Queen!
Now you need to watch Hot Fuzz. Same actors, same director, same humor, no zombies
The Cornetto Trilogy is a must watch now :) as well as other random stuff like Attack the Block and cult sitcom Spaced written and staring Simon Pegg, Jessica Stevenson
(woman with golf club) and Nick Frost.
Attack the Block is too underrated
The Christmas movie you were thinking of is love actually.
Your cat on the left is the exact colouring of one of my roommates cats.
There is a brilliant gritty British movie called “Dead man’s shoes” directed by Shane Meadows. Not many have reacted to it but it is a brilliant film.
For gritty films with a British twist, "The Limey" is great.
Shaun of the Dead is so good even both cats wanted to be a part of this.
This has been one of my top favourite movies ever since it came out in 2004.
It's the first zom-rom-com film, it's in a genre of it's own. So glad you chose to watch this.
Yay, glad we're getting into the Cornetto trilogy.
Hope Hot Fuzz and World's End are next.
My favorite pairing of Nick Frost and Simon Pegg is the sci-fi comedy, “Paul”. It’s one of my favorite sci-fi movies.
Great reaction, Mary!!! One of my faves, so glad you liked it.
You need to watch Hot Fuzz and The World's End now. Welcome to the Three Flavour Cornetto Trilogy!
Fun fact, the resturaunt that Shuan was meant to book was named Fulci's after the Italian horror director Lucio Fulci
Main lesson I take from this movie: If your partner feels you're not good enough in any way, you never will be. The best partner for Shaun was his cheerful friend he kept bumping into. She genuinely liked him, cared about him and hugged him warmly every time. No judgement, no complaining, criticising and undermining. Yet he didn't see it.
The original stain on his shirt is from his pen the day before. There are a few references to it when people say "you've got red on you".
People have already mentioned the rest of the Cornetto Trilogy and the Monty Python movies, but to be honest they've all been reacted to so many times already on RUclips. A Fish Called Wanda might be an idea, but the one classic British comedy that is totally under represented by reaction channels so far is Withnail & I.
One I would suggest checking out is a Canadian zombie-comedy called "Fido". It is a little older than this (mid 90's if I remember correctly), but is one of my favourates.
As a side note, "We are coming to get you, Barbara" is the best line in the movie! Wonderful homage! You can really see why this was Romero's favourate zombie movie that he didn't make.
It's insane to think that Romero basically invented everything we think of for modern zombies. Slow-moving, flesh-craving, having to destroy the brain; all of it from one guy. Everyone knows what a zombie is now, but nobody did (in that sense) before Romero made it so. He is to zombies what Bram Stoker is to vampires.
Mary you will LOVE the other movies that Edgar wright the director for this also made. Some favourites include hot fuzz, at worlds end, and Baby driver. You’ll like them 😊 also Great reaction!
Wright also directed Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World. His new film, Last Night In Soho, is coming out soon.
“He’s not my boyfriend […] Thanks, babe 😍” is a joke from Spaced and also pretty much Simon Pegg and Nick Frost’s IRL relationship lol
ZOMBIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO =D
Yeah, you will love Hot Fuzz, its the second film in the Cornetto Trilogy
Annnnnd now you have to watch 'Hot Fuzz', the second part of the 'Cornetto Trilogy' (the only thing that connects them are the cast, director, and Cornettos...). Arguably the best of the 3 movies (though this is a close 2nd).
The standard of writing and directing is unbelievably high. Everything has a pre and post zombie meaning. The reuse of scenes and dialog is amazing. They even made the flowers relevant to the story. Shaun's arc is brilliant the way he goes from a waste of space to a well rounded man is great to watch. Never mind the attention to detail with continuity is on point. Plus Ed reveals the entire plot in his speech to cheer up Shaun. I would highly recommend watching CinemaWins video on Shaun of the Dead it's great. Now you must finish the Cornetto Trilogy, you will not regret it.
Nice job on the opening graphic, it really sets the mood. And of course, the video itself was great.
There's a TV series called "Spaced" that has all of the same people in it. Everybody's going to recommend Hot Fuzz and World's End, and those are great, but I haven't seen anyone react to Spaced. In typical British fashion it's only a handful of episodes so it's easy to get through.
Spaced is amazing, great characters, super-inventive and it has the best shootout scene in audiovisual history.
12:46 the cutest "fuck" i've ever heard haha
Comedy zombie movies arent that many i feel. But surprisingly there is another comedic zombie movie I’d love to recommend that isnt super scary but maybe some turn the head to gore scenes that I’d imagine Mary to do (which is fine in my books. Just saying). “Zombie land” is a super funny movie. It somewhat coined the use of “rules in a zombie apocalypse”, maybe not exactly but conversationally.
Tucker and Dale VS Evil is another comedy horror film and pretty awesome imo.
the tv series Spaced, its where Pegg, serafinowitz and frost and wright, all worked together, and one episode is where they came up with the idea of shaun,
apart from being a comedic take on the classic zombie tale, this is the best zombie movie since Night Of the Living Dead, Dawn/Day of the Dead and the 1990 Remake of Night Of The Living Dead. been a fan of Edgar Wright ever since
Your face when Queen came on Lol! XD You're too damn cute Mary.
Cat " I'm sorry"
Mary "I think my cat just farted"
If you're looking for something in the British comedy tradition of Python, "That Mitchell and Webb Look", written by and starring David Mitchell and Robert Webb, is a great sketch series. Got Olivia Coleman in it too, who you may remember from "The Queen". M&W's comedy show with a more traditional narrative is called "Peep Show", and is fabulous.
Hot Fuzz is one of my fav movies
Bill Nighy (the actor you recognize from the back) is a favourite of mine, I recommend you try the romantic comedy-drama "About Time" from 2017
Lots of people here recommending 'Spaced' (TV series), another British TV series I'd recommend is 'Big Train', also featuring Simon Pegg - it's a surreal sketch show and very funny. It was written by the same team who wrote 'Father Ted', another brilliant show.
I might suggest watching a few staple action movies before seeing their next movie, Hot Fuzz. It's not required but it gives so many great moments of humor and context seeing them reference them.
Well, now there have to come the other two parts of the Cornetto Trilogy, Hot Fuzz and The Worlds End
Spaced tv series was the template for Shaun. lots of geek references and the same core creatives. You can watch it with the geek-o-meter switched on to see which films are referenced. highly recommended.
The movie Edgar Wright did after this {Hot fuzz} is AMAZING . I've been dying to see your reaction!!
Yep; kind of "Bad Boys"/"Lethal Weapon" cop-buddy movie set in a tiny sleepy English village. Hysterical!
At one point they revisit the humor of going through yard-division fences, only differently.
Now we need a Queen karaoke stream. 😂
I heard from Shanelle in her reactions that small independent movies often use long tracking shots because it is less expensive. they don’t have to take time to move the camera and set up the next shot which can sometimes take hours.
I suppose that's possible, but long tracking shots are also super difficult and often require many more takes than shorter shots, as there's so much more that can go wrong. You have to arrange and light and control a much larger area, as well, and much more intricately, as you're only going to have the one angle from which to show your audience what they need to see. If it were just a case of tracking shots being easier, you'd expect to see a lot more of them, especially in formats with lower budgets like TV shows.
Long shots are also really hard on the cameraperson, because they've got to hold the weight of the equipment while moving correctly for a very long time, and camera rigs can easily top 80 not-perfectly-balanced lbs. I recall Shanelle (presuming we're speaking of Riccio, yes?) mentioning that for one particular long tracking shot (can't recall which), the camera operator had to train for 6 months to be able to pull it off. The scene was specifically left until late in the shooting schedule to accommodate the conditioning.
One of my favorite movies of any genre. Great choice and reaction.
Yes, dogs can look up but their necks do not have the same range of motion as ours so they won't be looking straight up, however if you ask a dog to sit and look up at a treat then you can see that they can look up at you.
Tucker and Dale vs Evil is a good horror comedy that makes fun of the slasher horror genre.
There is also Tucker and Dale ARE evil, the same movie but from the college kids perspective, and it really does look like Tucker and Dale ARE serial killers.
I love that you know Queen
Everyone knows Queen
Awesome movie. A favourite along with Hot Fuzz. Hot Fuzz is by the same team but no zombies this time. It’s great.
Love their movies. Got to watch Hot Fuzz.
This movie is also the reason that Left 4 Dead 2 has the cricket bat as a melee weapon hahaha
Favourite British comedy movies that come to mind:
Brazil (1985)
Withnail & I (1987)
A Fish Called Wanda (1988)
In Bruges (2008)
Four Lions (2010)
Lots of great horror-comedies over the years too:
An American Werewolf in London (1981)
Eating Raoul (1982)
Evil Dead 2 (1987)
Society (1989)
Jennifer's Body (2009)
for example
Also: Sightseers (2012) and Prevenge (2016) - two British horror comedies, fulfilling all the criteria at once
Withnail & I - absolutely, it's a true cult classic and has been criminally ignored by RUclips reactors
@@IamLertimo WE'VE GONE ON HOLIDAY BY MISTAKE
@@IamLertimo And yeah, most RUclips reaction channels seem content to revolve around the same few dozen movies, but that's kind of inevitable. It's not the place to go for a serious investigation of cinema haha
You... may have a wider definition of "comedy" than most. Lots of movies there with comedy in them, but I don't think I'd slot them all in that genre, at least not principally.
Highly recommend the cornetto trilogy since you've watched the first now.
So glad that you appreciated the dark humor and the absurdity of how these people decided to cope (and failed to cope) with a zombie disaster.
For another Simon Pegg comedy try Paul (2011) His spin on E.T. The Extraterrestrial. Two fanboys try and assist an alien escaped from a US government holding facility.
Or for a classic British comedy (if you can get it) try Ladykillers (1955) The 2004 remake missed the point of the original. Some familiar faces in the 1955 version. Enjoy!
Simon Pegg also wrote the 3rd JJ Abrams Trek, and it's far and away the best one. It's the most "Trek" of any of those films, too, as Pegg is a huge fan (he also plays Scotty in the whole series).
@@michaelccozens Thanks for the info. I agree that "Beyond" is best at catching the old Trek vibe and I hadn't noticed that it was written by Simon Pegg.
"Spaced" 1999-2001. this film is connected with that series. you'll love it :)
Thanks, Mary (and your sweet kitties)! 🧟♀️ I *love* this one... my mother does, too!!!
So glad you liked this. And it seems you are a Queen fan. I knew I liked you for a reason!!
Can't believe I didn't sub the first time I saw your videos. I like your reactions. I saw this one first when I was still living at home with mom and dad. About ten minutes in, I was laughing so hard I had to pause it and call dad in. Second time around we had to coax mom into sitting it and watching it with us. Neither of them like zombie movies but they both LOVED this one. You should check out the show Spaced if you have Hulu. It's got mostly the same cast. Brilliant humor.
Two cats in the same video.😸🥰
Try Red Dwarf (comedy), Life on Mars/Ashes to Ashes (time travel police drama), Blackadder (comedy) & The Young Ones (comedy)
I recommend a British show called Spaced made by the same guys who did Shaun of the Dead. It's an older show that they did before this movie but you can catch it on Amazon Prime and on RUclips for free I think. Enjoy.
