Shaun of the Dead (2004) - 52 mistakes

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.

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.

Revealing: In the beginning of the movie, where it shows the group of nodding zombies and the Shaun of The Dead logo is on the ground, look to your left, the zombie actor stops nodding and looks around him to see if the shot is still being filmed, and he immediately goes back to nodding. Look out for it, it's obvious.

Continuity: When Ed drives Phil's Jaguar, its rearview mirror disappears and reappears repeatedly.

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

Continuity: After Ed and Shaun make the plan to save everyone, we see the close-up shot of the TV where the announcer is saying that nobody to try and save their friends and family. If you look at Shaun, you see the handle end of the cricket bat in his right hand, and he is facing the TV screen. In the shots immediately before and after that, Shaun is not only turned away from the TV, but the handle is in his left hand.

Continuity: When Barbara dies, she is lying on her back on the seat. Later, when Liz and Shaun are talking about shooting her, she sits up as if she was lying on her front, with her head going backwards. If she was lying on her back then her head would have come forwards.

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.

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.

Revealing: When Shaun tackles the blue robe zombie they both slam through the wood fence. The thick black protective vest that Shaun wears is very noticeable under his shirt and is actually visible below his shirt collar.

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.

Revealing: When Ed hits the zombie in the eye with the record, you can see for a split second that the record misses the zombie completely, then the camera cuts and a different, breakaway (or CGI) record hits the zombie.

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

Continuity: When Shaun climbs up to Liz’s apartment, there is a large handbag that hangs on the back of chair beside the window, but it is gone in the next close-up.

Continuity: When throwing records at the zombies, watch when Ed throws one at the girl. As he throws it, her head is to the left but when the camera shows a close up when the record hits her, her head is to the RIGHT.

Visible crew/equipment: Each time Shaun goes to the store, you can see the reflection of the camera on the freezer's door.

Continuity: At the end of the 'Queen Fight' - Shaun pushes John into the jukebox using the pool cue, as he does this he blatantly falls backwards to the floor, however the very next shot he is moving backwards whilst standing upright.

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.

Visible crew/equipment: Throughout the film, the reflector screen and/or set lights are reflected in David’s eyeglasses.

Continuity: The field in front of Liz's flat is large and unfenced. Yet, when Shaun climbs up to her window, there is a fence not more than ten feet away. He couldn't have run round the side as the sound of the zombie's are coming from the same direction.
