Mistake 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.

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

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: The red ink on Shaun's pocket at work changes from a solid blob to one with a few spots above it back to solid.

Mistake Continuity: In the beginning when Shaun is at work and is talking with Liz on the phone, when they are done he puts the phone down. Two cuts later we see him putting it down again.

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: 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: In the scene where Ed smashes the ashtray on the zombie's head, his right hand goes to pick up the ashtray. In the next shot, his right hand is empty and in the close shot of the zombie we see the ashtray in Ed's hand again.

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 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.

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 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.

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 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.

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 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: 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.

Mistake 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.

Mistake 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.
