Ending / spoiler
Directed by: Edgar Wright
Starring: Bill Nighy, Jim Broadbent, Simon Pegg, Martin Freeman, Timothy Dalton, Paddy Considine, Nick Frost, Bill Bailey, Rafe Spall
The N.W.A. is a cult that kills anyone who they feel ruins their opportunity to become Village of the Year. They killed the living statue, the underage drinkers, the shoplifter and several others and put their bodies in an underground grotto. Angel (Simon Pegg) comes back to town and loads up on all of the farmer's weapons from the evidence locker, where he proceeds to shoot all the members of the N.W.A. (although they are all only wounded). The cops and Danny (Nick Frost) who were just ignorant help him take people down. The bartender gets his head crushed by a bear trap, the doctor gets shot in the foot, the crossword 'hag' gets knocked out by a potted plant, Lurch is thrown into a freezer, Skinner (Timothy Dalton) gets a miniature steeple through his chin but lives, and Danny's father (Frank Broadbent) escapes only to be attacked by the swan and crash his car into a tree. Everyone is thrown in jail and as they are filling out paperwork, the one cult member left attacks Nick with an old musket-type weapon and Danny jumps in front and is shot. Nick chases the man into the evidence room where he accidentally sets off the sea-mine, blowing up the entire station. One year later, Nick and Danny put flowers on Danny's mother's grave. Doris on dispatch tells them there are hippies digging through the recycling bin near the grocery store and they tear through town in their police car.

Question: In total how many references were there to Shaun of the Dead and where can I find them?

Answer: Just before "Auntie Jackie's sisters' brothers' boy' legs it, Danny is looking at the DVDs in the supermarket and there's a copy of Shaun of the Dead in the bargain bin...albeit the Spanish version! Only £4.99! It was released as "Zombie Party" in Spain but has the same front cover as UK release.
