Shaun of the Dead (2004) - 53 mistakes

 

Please note: For any non-UK readers (and probably quite a few UK readers too), if you liked this film, check out a fantastic TV series called "Spaced", which was written by, directed by, and starred quite a few of the same people, made a few years ago. Pure, unadulterated genius. I think the DVD's only available on Region 2, but seek it out. NOW.

Updated this week Visible crew/equipment: In the Jaguar, after Ed explains that he already adjusted the seat and Shaun shouts, “Careful!,” when Ed pulls out of the driveway a seated crewmember is reflected on the side of the car. This does not refer to the zombie extras. Submitted by Rikki

Updated this week Revealing: At the Winchester, just before Shaun shoots naked zombie Pete, his underwear is actually visible. Submitted by Rikki

Screen shot Visible crew/equipment: When the blue tux zombie walks in through the ever unlocked front door, in the shot facing Ed and Shaun as they get up screaming, two blue tape T-marks are visible on the rug, between the couch and chair. It is visible in a couple of shots, but gone in the rest. Submitted by Rikki

Updated this week Continuity: In the yard, when Shaun stabs the blue robe zombie, the metal pole still sticks out of his chest a good 4-5 feet, but when Dianne gives her zombie acting lessons the pole barely sticks out of the zombie’s chest. Submitted by Rikki

Updated this week Continuity: At John's pub, when Liz has a look at Barbara’s bloody wound, it is about 2” above her wrist, but when Shaun lifts his mum’s sleeve, it’s about 6” above her wrist. Submitted by Rikki

Updated this week Visible crew/equipment: When Shaun scales up the side of the building to Liz’s apartment the second time, just as he places the cricket mallet on the floor and begins to climb through window, the steel tubing for the scaffold platform is visible just to his right. Submitted by Rikki

Updated this week Continuity: When Ed and Shaun use Pete’s car, the rearview mirror changes its characteristics between shots. Things such as being large with perfect 90° angles to being smaller and having curvier edges or being attached to the black unit on the car ceiling to being attached to the windshield.

Updated this week Continuity: When Liz states, amongst the ‘Shaun didn’t do list’, that he didn’t stop smoking when she did, he promptly tosses his pack away. Later, in the cellar at the Winchester, he calls ‘non-smoking’ Liz a sneaky monkey because she nicked the pack he tossed, but now the pack she has is a different brand. Submitted by Rikki

Updated this week Visible crew/equipment: At Barbara and Phil's house, just as the hooded zombie bites a chunk out of Phil’s neck (before Shaun leaps over the car hood) the black mat with two long white marks is visible on the pavement, behind the second zombie (beside the car). It’s gone in following shots. Submitted by Rikki

Screen shot Continuity: At the beginning of the film, when the camera pans across the road towards Shaun's house, the silver Renault badge on the hood of Pete's car is missing, but when Shaun goes to work that morning (Pete sits in the car), it's there. The badge disappears again later in the film.

Screen shot Continuity: When Shaun bursts into the shed, the whole door falls off the frame. Seconds later when we see the shot of Shaun and Ed with the bat and shovel, there's two pieces of wood attached to the hinge on the right side of the doorframe. Submitted by Hamster

Screen shot Continuity: As David is trying all the switches on the fuse box, he flicks a few off and you can see about a half of dozen of them flicked up. In the following shot only one switch is flicked up. Submitted by Lummie

Mistake Continuity: If you look closely as Shaun and the gang impersonate zombies, all the zombies around them are constantly moving between shots.
