Ed: Who died and made you fucking king of the zombies?

Trivia

In the scene where Shaun, Liz, and Ed are beating the zombie with the pool sticks, Shaun falls to the floor at one time and does a little Matrix-style move to get himself up back on his feet. Shaun perfected this move in real life in his dance team named 'The Galaxians'. See more...

Shaun of the Dead (2004) - 50 mistakes

starring Bill Nighy, Simon Pegg (add more)

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.

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

Mistake Continuity: When Shaun and Ed bring out the basket of mugs, pots and toasters etc., to throw at the two zombies, in one closeup we see Ed pick up a mug and a saltshaker, but in the next shot we see him throwing a wooden mugtree.

Mistake 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.

Mistake Continuity: When Shaun goes to the newsagents after the dead rise, he gets a drink out of the fridge, which has blood-stained hand prints on. He slips on what we assume is blood as he walks away, yet on the way in and as he leaves the shop you can see behind him that there is no blood or any other liquid on the floor.

Mistake Continuity: When Shaun and Ed repeatedly hit the two zombies in the back garden, no blood appears on the cricket bat or shovel, however it does splatter onto their shirts.

Mistake Revealing: At the Winchester, just before Shaun shoots naked zombie Pete, his underwear is actually visible.

Mistake Continuity: At the Winchester, Liz knocks zombie John’s eyeglasses off, but then it is back on his face only to be knocked off again.

Mistake 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.

Mistake Continuity: When Ed smashes the ashtray over the zombie he gets a trail of "blood" to our right of his t-shirt slogan. When they go outside, it's gone.

Mistake Continuity: When Shaun and Ed are looking upstairs for Pete and Ed is about to go up, Shaun stops him with his arm. At first his arm is under Ed's hand. When it cuts, his arm is over Ed's hand.

Mistake 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.

Mistake 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.

Mistake Continuity: When the shells are firing off in the bar fire, there are three shots of the box of shells. The box refills itself between every shot.

Mistake Continuity: In the scene where Shaun meets Yvonne for the first time in the film, the nametag on his shirt is visible and then gets covered by his jacket as the shot changes between the characters.

Mistake Continuity: After Ed kills his first zombie, there is a blood stain on the far right of his "I got wood" emblem which runs down the shirt. But when he is throwing objects at the two in the garden, this stain has somehow vanished.

Mistake Continuity: In the pub scene towards the end when the zombies are taking over, Ed lights up a cocktail, but then in the next shot when zombies break through the door and attack him, the rag is unlit.

Mistake Continuity: Just after Liz and Shaun have come out of the cellar, the shot zooms out and you can see a few people behind them trying to get into the pub. In the following shot the number of people trying to get in has increased.

Mistake Continuity: As Shaun is giving the opening pep talk to his co-workers at the appliance store, his tie flips backward and forward several times.

Mistake Continuity: When David is pointing the rifle at Barbara and Shaun, you see the barrel of the rifle and David's hand holding it. When the camera moves so you can see David's face, his hands are higher up on the barrel. It's the same when the camera switches between these two shots again while Shaun and David are arguing.

Mistake Continuity: After Ed and Shaun pull up to Phil and Barbara’s house, the garbage bins move around by the time the zombie falls backwards onto them.
