When Shaun is walking to the shop (for the first time - when the zombies are not yet rampant), a man is cleaning the windscreen of his blue Vauxhall Cavalier, the windscreen is a tinted one (solar green with a blue shade). When Shaun is walking to the shop (for the second time - when the zombies are rampant), the smashed windscreen of the same Cavalier is a clear one without any tint or shade. The first shot was probably taken after the second one, as the tinted windscreen appears to have been replaced, as the rest of the Cavalier's glass is not solar tinted, too. See more »

Here in the States they don't show too many foreign movies, even if they are from the countries like UK. When they show them, however, they tend to outdo some of the American movies in the box office. Although the British movies are rarely shown here, they're a guaranteed success - do you recall the popularity of the last year's "28 Days Later"? Well, this movie is even better - it's a hilarious combination of comedy, social parody, tragedy and drama, spiced with the references to every zombie flick ever made. Some references are pretty slim, though - for example "We're coming to get you, Barbara!" is a reference to "The Night of the Living Dead" - a reference that many people (including George Romero!) didn't get. Most of the actors are unknown to an average American, yet they played great! I hope that movies like "Shaun of the Dead" will make big wigs in Hollywood realize that there are many great foreign movies, and that integrity is always better than crude remakes which the States are so notorious for... I encourage everybody to come and see SOTD - the best comedy of 2004.
