Shaun of The Dead

The one armed zombie in the beginning (who is a one-armed model in real life) is behind Shaun in the convenience store in the scene before.

I never caught it despite him being dressed for a wedding party, lapel flower and all.

They replay the whole street/convenience store routine from the previous day, just with zombies. I think all the people he interacted with are there.

In Widows, Viola Davis' character tells her team "If things go bad, you're on your own," which is precisely why Liam Neeson's character betrays her to start a new life. It's a big point of the movie, but you don't realize it at the time.

Can we restart the timeline to where Pushing Daisies was the Dead Like Me sister show it was planned as?

Also a timeline where Dead Like Me didn't end and get that follow up movie that was just bad?

We got an episode of Bryan Fuller's other show Hannibal that guest-starred Ellen Muth and was basically "All the fantastical elements of Dead Like Me, but actually Georgia Lass was just insane the whole time."

🚣RowboatMan: ❄️Freezing time🕰️ is an old P.I. 🥧trick...

Not a movie, but in the Father Ted Christmas Special ('A Christmassy Ted'), at one point, 8 priests find themselves lost in the Ireland's largest lingerie section during Christmas time. While trying to escape, one priest hurts his eye when a bra that he's messing with snaps back and hits him.

About 20-25 minutes later, when Ted and everyone are getting set up for the Golden Cleric ceremony, that same priest, who hasn't been mentioned whatsoever since, can be seen in the background with an eyepatch on.

I love this show so much, especially this episode.

im not confident enough to say all, but a lot of the zombies you see clearly later in the movie show up earlier in the movie still alive

shaun of the dead has a whole bunch of subtle moments, references, and wordplays, the thread is full of them

Was driving to pick up a friend from Bristol airport yesterday when he said his plane was delayed, so made a detour to Wells (where they filmed Hot Fuzz). Weird how it's laid out a bit differently to how you'd expect (I hadn't been there since I was a kid).

Nice pub. No crusty jugglers, though there was a man in a kilt playing the banjo, and a hoodie on the fountain (my mate)

The bokeh (light reflection thingy) in the Scott pilgrim bus scene changes during the conversation. Ramona has x, which change to match Scott's hearts when theyre about to kiss.

One other thing in Shaun of The Dead

When the jukebox plays Queen and people are hitting the barkeep to the rhythm, David is hitting the fuses also to the rhythm.

Never caught that second part before but I have the musical acumen of a dead dog.

Into the Spider-Verse is really really good, guys. And it's jam-packed full of subtle (and not-so-subtle) things. One of my favorites (and currently thread-topical) is a billboard in MIles's Times Square advertising a sequel to Shaun of the Dead sequel called From Dusk Till Shaun.

Simon Pegg actually wrote a treatment for a Shaun Of The Dead sequel called From Dusk Till Shaun but never followed it up so it looks like Miles lives in the alternate universe where it did get made, which makes it a superior reality to the poo poo hole we're stuck in.

Also seconding that Into the Spider-Verse is really really good.

The scene in SotD where they pass another group of survivors has the cast of all the big UK TV comedies of the time - Spaced, Black Books, Little Britain, The League of Gentlemen and The Office.
Tyres, a recurring character from Spaced, also shows up as a zombie in front of the Winchester.

The subtlest for cameos was Hot Fuzz which had Peter Jackson as the Father Christmas who stabs Nicholas and Kate Blanchett as Nicholas' girlfriend

It took me way too long to realize the close-up on his hand knocking when that cutaway happens is to show the scar. That’s also why he’s always shown using one of those hand strengthening things.

Interviewer: "How did you get Cate Blanchett to do that one little cameo?"

Wright: "I'd met her in LA and knew that she was a fan of Shaun of the Dead, so that was kind of a start. The first thing we wrote in Hot Fuzz is the kind of the girlfriend scene with the CSI sort of [setup]. The first joke was basically that you have an emotive scene with him saying farewell to his girlfriend and being very sentimental and you can't see her face. [...] In a weird way this whole Cate Blanchett thing was sort of a slight kind of joke on that. ‘Let's get an Oscar winner in there but not see her face.’ And she was totally up for that joke. She loved it. And for the record - and this is why Cate Blanchett goes to heaven - she gave her fee to charity. She is one nice lady.”

Aww, Cate, you're dreamy :)

The whole reason he gets sent away is because he’s so good he makes everyone else look bad.

You could say he’s a real seven letter word for a system of government, characterised by extreme dictatorship when it comes to following the law.

Don't you tell me my business again.
Creed is so loving good. Watched it for the third time the other night and never noticed that when Adonis is first shown shadowboxing along with footage from the first fight, he's fighting against his dad, not Rocky.

It's a theme of the entire film but somehow I missed that touch.

Watching Shaun of the Dead again tonight.

When Shaun is giving the pre-opening talk to his co-workers, he's playing with his red pen and ends up throwing it off camera, likely breaking it.

Then when he puts it in his pocket you can hear the cap come off setting up his having red on him.

In the same scene one of Shaun’s subordinates is on the phone and says “he’s only got a Henry” (1/8th oz of weed). Later, Ed is on the phone and you hear him tell someone “I only have a Henry myself.”

The call with Ed saying that happened before Shaun went to work. The implication is that Ed is dealing to Shaun's 17 year old co-worker.

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?
I really love drug slang the world over.
