Talk:Shaun of the Dead

I have a friend who thinks that the quick jumpcuts through out the movie, but I think thats bullshit, can anyone cofirm either claim? It's just such a lame reference if thats what it is. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.209.119.77 (talk • contribs)

Wha?

"When the film reaches the 30 minute mark Shaun and Ed finally realize the zombie problem even though Shaun did act alert through most of the movie prior to when they realize he never knows until then." I would fix this sentence up, but I have no idea what the hell it means. - mordemur 09:49, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

I think it basically means that Shaun realises about the zombies at the 30 minute point, and he didnt know about it before then even though he seemed alert enough. Retarded sentence though, and saying he was acting alert just isnt true. -- jeffthejiff (talk) 12:26, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

Song reference?

What's the song that plays for a few seconds about 8 minutes into the film, when Shaun is riding the bus? The tune caught my attention because it's also in the Scam song that goes along with the game Zombie Smashers X. It's very distinctive. --Nanodeath 23:23, 26 January 2006 (UTC)

Kernkraft 400 by Zombie Nation. Most people think it to be the other way around. --MasTer of Puppets ^{Picture Service} 00:27, 27 January 2006 (UTC)

All right, thanks for the super fast response :-) --Nanodeath 07:31, 27 January 2006 (UTC)

whoooaaaa thats lot of trivia!!!!

Is that all really necesary?. a humble sugestion here would be to scrap off the useless trivia, as theres jsut too much of it here, is it all really that necesary???, how about writting useable information, as trivia can be found in IMDB's page anyways.

as far as I understand, Wikipedia is supposed to eventually cover nearly everything. Unless I misunderstands this, you should not leave out anything, just because it is written somewhere else on the internet. If so, every article would be mighty short. Lordz 08:30, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

At the same time, however, Wikipedia isn't supposed to be an indiscriminate collection of information. Personally, I don't have a problem with that much trivia (though some of it may need to be cleaned up some), but I can certainly see why some people may not like it. EVula 18:03, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

I agree, there is way too much trivia here. i had a quick glance at it, and i noticed many useless things like "When Shaun is riding the bus, the youngster in front of him is listening to Zombie Nation". So what? We might as well just put the whole script in. Pegg/Wright are quite referency and in-jokey, but that doesnt mean we have to mention every single one of them. I dont see a list of indiscriminate trivia for Spaced... -- jeffthejiff 22:43, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

Rimes

The article states the following:

It is noted on the DVD that the characters names rhyme with their fates at the end of the film:

• Barbara: Cadaver

How exactly does "Barbara" rimes with "Cadaver"? Ritchy 17:33, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

Comics

Is it worth having a separate entry for the Shaun of the Dead comic outings? There was a one off preview drawn by Frazer Irving (and written by Simon Pegg and Edgar Wright) for 2000AD [1] and then a film adaptation by IDW Publishing [2]. (Emperor 17:02, 30 March 2006 (UTC))

2 things to add to trivia (?)

ok so ive got 2 new ideas that maybe should be incorporated in this page, if not in the trivia:

• Coldplay members Chris Martin and John Buckland appear in the movie, talking about Zombaid, (maybe making refernece to Liveaid), talking how they got involved.
• Also, a airline-version was made, where the profanity fuck is replaced with funk. It was accually pretty fun to listen to.

so these are my thoughts, tell me wat u think paat 01:34, 13 April 2006 (UTC)
