I'm here to start suggesting Death Troopers, a starwars book. I know it's not a movie or game but there is an audio book on UA-cam for it and I hear there is an fan movie in the works
Not sure if it’s mentioned in the video, but I think the zombies didn’t attack Shawn in the beginning because he was in “autopilot” mode, just following his daily routine almost mindlessly.
The absolute saddest part about Barbara dying is the fact she just looks at shawn but got pissed off at david, she recognized him as her son still and knew that david was an asshole.

The meeting with the two groups was a joke because at the time Yvonne’s group contained more famous actors, so there was a “better comedy zombie apocalypse movie” going on elsewhere but we got the “B Team”. Edgar Wright is just a fantastic director.
What always struck me about this movie was how it answered a questions I've always wondered. Basically, there are two groups in this movie: Shawn and his buddies, and his ex-girlfriend and hers. I came to the conclusion Shawn's group represented those isolated morons in zombie survival games where you wonder, "How the hell did this asshole survive this hellhole?" Well, Shawn and his buddies are that answer. His ex-girlfriend is basically the player character in the same game.
Shawn is actually quite *capable* and he has flashes of brilliance. But Ed and the other satellites are pulling him down. If Ed had died his life would be 100% improved vs about 50%. And judging by Eds behavior Shawn is gonna always be one toothy slip up away from destroying the UK and perhaps the world.
I don't think Yvonne is Shaun's ex they're just friends from their wilder, younger years. She's supposed to be the complete opposite of Shaun and their group for comedic effect as she mentions just having bought a house and being a grown up, something Shaun hasn't done yet. Shaun just muddles through life whilst she's taken charge of hers but by the end of the film Shaun has found a modicum of success and taken charge.
The way the script for this movie works is genius. The number of off-the-cuff lines foreshadows something later, like when Ed outlines the entire plot of the film with his tale of what he and Shaun are going to do on their night out.
Few Fact's about this movie. 1. George Romero loved it that's why Simon Pegg and Edger Wright are zombies in Land of The Dead. 2. David's death scene is almost the same as Captain Rhodes in Day of The Dead but David also has his arm's and leg's torn off and 3 The idea for this came from a TV show with Simon Pegg and Nick Frost called Spaced where Simon Pegg's character dream's of fighting zombies after a night of drinking, drugs and playing Resident Evil 2.
I think the main strength that pushes Shaun to the top of Zombie comedies is that the characters all are likeable, so you'll care about them and their feelings. Take the scene with Stepdad's last words in the car - that is really sad.
Honestly I thought it was hilarious that they decided to go to a bar and just wait it out until all of it blow over then go to a location that’s more defendable has more resources but I guess having a beer with your buds is more reasonable things to do in the apocalypse.😹
I mean why not, save mum, kill Philip,get liz and go to the pub and wait for all that to blow over. How’s that for a slice of fried gold But ye, the pub had semi decent defendability but should’ve gone somewhere with fewer entrances
I still love pointing out small details in this movie. Like how you can see the jogger still sprinting in the background before they run into their polar opposites but you also hear a crash and a man's screams not long after you see him pass which suggests he somehow ran right into his death after all this time.
Shuan of the dead is what got me into comedy movies, horror movies, and solidified a budding love for zombie media. I was too damn young to be watching it but that didn't stop comedy central having it on every dang weekend lol
Used to be, I could not watch any zombie film or read zombie media. If I did, ghouls would populate the inside of my eyelids for a week or more. This movie cured that, and made me an afficionado of Zombie horror
As a Welsh brit, I can confirm that the entire cornetto trilogy could happen a few streets over and the majority of the general public wouldn't notice cause we're all already practically zombies already lol, any thoughts on doing the aliens from The worlds end?
That all the movie is about, well kinf of. They are showing that even when people become zombies, nothing really seems to change, even when everything is normal, those who became zombies can still live as if it is normal life
I mean when your diet is made of fried food and narcotics what do they expect people to turn into? I joke but I’ve seen too many good kids turn to the binge drinking and the drugs to self medicate for a society and a culture that failed them on every single level. And yet what are we gonna do about it?
Swear to god, that whole TV scene about how the world is going under but it's spliced between different shows is still one of the greatests scenes in movie history.
Fun fact for ya, that zombie with the arm off was an actual amputee, hence why the effect looks so real (because it is). I always respected how this film just becomes a genuine horror film in the last half, and how they never pulled punches or had out of place jokes in dramatic moments.
Can we mention how awesome those journeys to the shop were? They were both unbroken scenes and last a pretty good while. Simon and Nick are the shiznit.
Same this video brings back so many memories, any time we'd end up at my house back when I lived with my mom we would always end up upstairs high and I had Sean of the Dead on DVD, hundreds and hundreds of times we'd put on Sean of the Dead while we smoked, good times 👍
Something I’ve wondered a lot with zombie movies. If they are compelled by indiscriminate hunger why they don’t cannibalize each other, and at what stage of the zombification process does an individual have to be before other zombies stop trying to eat them.
Usually zombie films/media are based on a viral infection, one that can alter human behaviour as a means to propagate so biting or feeding on already infected hosts would just lead to the virus dying out.
The only virus that do that is from Days Gone video game, where the adult version of the infected cannibalize small Newt kid infecteds, my theory is that other zombie movies make their virus or parasites recognise each other, and their main purpose is to infect more people rather than eat each other to death
I made up this one story when I was younger sit in 1980s the “zombies” were called bloodies cuz they would rip and tear at each other until they were all bloody the virus acted the same way 28 weeks later virus reacts instant turn time extreme rage and violence to everything I’d had even wrote down that people noticed they would beat against things until they die sometimes
@@herrdoctor2895 still raises questions for example carriers like in left 4 dead they are carrying a live version of the virus and spreading it as they go yet still get attacked by infected who see uninfected as monsters
Not a lot of animals are willing to eat dead and actively putrefying flesh. There's of course some animals that do that and only that, but most animals will see something actively rotting off the bone and go 'eugh. nah'. So zombies may still have that drive.
When I was younger, I always felt bad for Ed that he turned into a zombie. Watching it again years later I kind of realize how shitty of a friend Ed is and just how much he screwed everything up for his own selfishness
I liked how the dvd showed how the zombies showed up at the Winchester, how harry potters girlfriend survived and what happened to Ed during the escape and final moments in the extras.
Shaun of the Dead, to me, was also the most believable zombie plague movie. If they put it in the USA, Fox News would say the plague is a "far-left myth" until the couldn't, then they would blame the "liberal war on religion" for invoking God's wrath, albeit in newspeak. They'd flame the CDC for their "far-left agenda and propaganda" for talking about the facts, reality, and science that would be in direct opposition of their faux news show. The 700 Club would have its entire fan base and support throw all their money away to make them richer, being the religious network that actively preys on their flock. The entire would start taking military action against the USA as the world super-spreader of the disease because the USA could not stop its nut cases from overwhelming its science, medical, and rational communities. If it happened in Russia, China, or North Korea, the insane propaganda would be the same as it would be in the USA, but it would be mainstream and state funded. However, their governments would also "attack traitors" or "purge ares infected by Western bioweapons" which would be actual quarantining and culling of the infected as military operations. if it happened in India or anywhere near them in the Middle-East, they would react as if their mythical "Rakasha" (if I spelled that right) "returned" and take swift and brutal steps to contain the infection and destroy the Rakasha (the infected). I could go on, but you get the idea. Placing the movie in the UK for a comic thing that's that realistic was golden. Absolutely golden!
British comedies panel shows and tv shows were on fire during this period, ranging from Edgar write to Ricky gervais, peep show never mind the Buzzcocks, it crowd, garth marenghi’s darkplace (little briton to some degree). allot of people pushing the boundary’s of comedy, but all in different ways. Alot wouldn’t be considered ok by todays standards.
They do the same thing in Hot Fuzz. Everything Danny asks him like shooting a gun the air going "ahhhh" or firing 2 guns whilst jumping through the air, happens later in the movie.
My favorite movie of all time. 2004 was so good. Shaun of the Dead, Resident Evil 4, World of Warcraft, Halo 2, plus LOTR was popping off, and so much more. What a good time to be alive.
This is the first and only movie that I've ever began watching the director's commentary AND finished with it still on. So many tidbits and references that can be missed, including how Ed's plan for cheering up Shaun after being dumped was pretty much how the movie was going to play out.
I love this movie just for the fact the military show up at the end and shoot the zombies. Such a rare but of reality ensues it was a breath of fresh air.
@@secretagenttau2233 Yeah most generic slow-walking zombies wouldn't pose a threat to a regular human unless they were in significant numbers. Running/Fast Zombies like in the Dawn of the Dead 2004 or 28 Days/Weeks Later Infected are a much bigger threat. And some traditionally slower zombies can be a major threat, like the T-Virus Zombies from Resident Evil who can progress into much deadlier Crimson Heads and Lickers. Or the Cordecepys/Fungal Zombies from the Last of Us, due to their production of infectious spores and growing into deadlier forms as well.
@@tonts5329 Yeah I'd say any zombie that can only spread via biting and shit could be pretty easily mopped over by the military. Even if they can run, bullets are fucking fast and in great supply. But if it spreads through the air and can infect as easily as the flu (as in someone just needs to breath the same air) I can actually imagine that becoming a very fucked scenario.
That's what I loved about it. Any military that can deal with some isolated cities/infections would absolutely demolish any zombie incident. Nevermind going anywhere in the US with a zombie outbreak. 1 PSA saying: Heya, there's some zambis out and about so you can deal with em how ya want. There'd be way more living casualties than zombie casualties lmao
@@turkeygod6665only exception to that rule I’d say is The Walking Dead zombies cause everyone is infected in that, you’d literally have to shoot everybody on their death beds in that universe to keep the infection from spreading
When David wanted to shoot Shaun's mum, He had already crossed the line...revealing he was in love with Lizz and would sabotage Shaun at any opportunity, made the character detestable...but when he pulled the trigger on Shaun....David was no longer redeemable and became persona non grata..I'm glad he was eaten alive...
In the hot fuzz DVD, there's a feature that shows all the inside jokes and it's hilarious how many references there are to famous police movies and even 28 weeks later. One of my personal favorites is that in 28 weeks later the boy at the beginning says he's coming from Sandford which is the fictional village from Hot Fuzz. The village in Hot Fuzz is actually Wells in real life. Another thing I find funny is that I live in Sanford Maine and the town directly nextdoor is Wells Maine.
Zombie on a wheelchair is the perfect example of how people aren't fully gone when infected in this movie. And now that you've mentioned World of Warceaft, have you ever discussed Warcraft's plague?
I remember a while back in WOW a disease unexpectedly spread through the server due to an animal carrier carrying it out of the raid battle it was supposed to stay in. You should totally analyze that outbreak!!!!!
If its the corrupted blood outbreak, i recall reading that it was analyzed by the cdc to determine how people would react to a pandemic. Which seeing how covid turned out was pretty accurate. It was quarantined somewhat successfully before people started to spread it on purpose or without caring about the quarantine which caused everything to be infected.
@@mikec8086 the CDC and the WHO kinda flip flopped a lot at the start. I remember them saying "it's like the flu, no worries." Then they quickly deleted that. "No don't listen to those fools saying it's just a flu. You need to take this seriously."
@@mikec8086 I still remember the paper carried a disclaimer that trolling spreading the virus deliberately/camping newbies/meant some of the outcome can't be extrapolated to real life turned out to be false.
What I find impressive is the sheer number of background information you wouldnt notice. The best is when he goes to the shop, the radio in the shop is on an Indian channel. If you can speak or understand the language it is saying that the dead are rising and feasting on the living. The same shop owner is seen later on as a zombie and holds his hand out to Shaun as when he left the money on the till he was short and the shop keeper wants the rest of his money.
I had GBS in 2016 and it was triggered by gastric flu. I also got Swine flu, MRSA, Septicemia(Caused by infected central line).The GBS paralysed me from head to toe, the only thing I could feel was extreme pain contantly, I was giving a Tracheotomy and then put in a coma for a month . Once I was finally out of the ICU I was moved to rehab for 5 months to learn how to walk and pretty much do everything else again. As of today almost all feeling has returned except for my feet which I still cant feel anything except pain. The GBS long term effects will be with me for life, such as - random stabs of pain in my body, Chronic fatigue syndrome, being wheelchair bound outdoors as I cant walk very far without getting exhausted. GBS is horrible but also very interesting with how fast the body becomes totally paralysed. My case was so bad because it had done its full life cycle of 4 weeks before doctors figured out what was wrong, had they caught it sooner they could have treated it and prevented the worst of it. I would be very interested to hear you discuss it more.
@@rco7195 Thank you so much. Yeah its been difficult but I am so glad to be alive. Doctors told my family to expect the worst as they didnt think I would make it.
I just love how everything happens in the background for the movie. It’s like that commercial for school shooters where there’s some dude in the background showing every red flag while a romance story is going on in the foreground, but instead now it’s a zombie flick. It’s not until shit hits the fan that we can finally realize what’s going on in this movie.
Honestly the part that I found to to be the most hilarious part that the whole movie is that the very next morning after Sean and Ed went to the Winchester (AKA The Pub) Sean is completely oblivious and non-exervant to his surroundings, one thing I learned about people that are very predictable and have a routine throughout their lives are usually oblivious to their own surroundings and environment, but in Sean's case in this movie is actually pretty funny if you actually think about it.
Oh my god, thank you sooo much, I love this film so much and am absolutely ecstatic to see you cover it, like an early birthday present! Also, one thing that’s so awesome about this is that there’s so much foreshadowing that makes it amazing to rewatch
This movie mad me actually fall in love with understanding movies. I saw it at the perfect age with amazing timing. And I was just like "I wanna know about how you make movies. The lighting. The sound. Fx. Scripts."
@@RoanokeGaming its definitely one of those movies that almost everyone has seen. Any time this or hot fuzz is brought up everyone's like OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
This was my first ever zombie movie. Dvd, and absolutely loving it but also being terrified at the same time. I even remember the next day freaking out because I mistaked a drunk neighbor as a zombie lol. This will always be my favorite movie of all time
@@cartoonhistory353 these things are not zombies maybe draugr which makes them worse than undead slaves. Though the Zombie ep. of The Night Stalker tv series showed their Bokor could use a zombie as assassins.
@@Hank_Hill. yeah, hot fuzz too. I don't remember what exactly that one deals with though. I think part of it had to do with taking help from others when you need it. But I'm not sure.
My favorite part of this movie was the Muppet Treasure Island reference. "How does she do that?" is basically a direct line-for-line reference to the beginning where the Bar Lady is fighting off the pirates. It may or may not be intentional, but I am seeing it as intentional.
My favorite part of the whole movie, for no particular reason, is that when the bar is lit on fire, every single shell that pops off manages to get a headshot when they couldn't manage to get a single one just moments ago (not counting "oy, prick!")
20:30 Background sound is "Demons... Monsters..." for the Halo CE soundtrack. I love that Roanoke uses the Halo tracks for his videos, they fit so well.
Definitely wanna see you cover the biology of the self-mutating product of needing to adapt to radiation that is Shin Godzilla of *Shin Godzilla* at some point!
I watched this movie atleast 5 times! And I never realized the potential causes to the outbreak that were mentioned throughout the movie were references to other popular zombie films! Until now. It's almost like this was a thank you or made in appreciation to the big George A. Romero movies.
Bro instant this popped up, I didn’t click on a video fast enough. It should be easy to explain the flu in this awesome film…just have a pint and wait for all this to blow over.
What's kinda funny with your explanation of the brain swelling, is that it sorta ends up fitting with Return of the Living Dead, where the skeletonized female zombie says she wants to eat brains because it soothes the pain.
I love how you add Halo music in these breakdowns of virus outbreaks/infestation Always takes me back when I was 8 scared shitless of the flood in Halo CE 🤣
Feeling old, pfft?! My introduction to comedy/horror were: Gremlins, Fright Night, American Werewolf In London, Re-Animator, House, Evil Dead 2 ect. Shaun is an excellent movie though, the entire Cornetto trilogy is, Hot Fuzz being my favorite. Great video though. Not sure you could do a video on it, but Tucker and Dale Vs Evil is highly recommended.
The cinematography and editing are amazing as well. The way everything flows is great. This is one of my all time favorite movies. Every time I started dating someone new this was my go to movie. I wanted everyone to feel the way I feel about it!
Definitely a good test. If she doesn't like Shawn of the dead, she likely has no sense of humor and you dodge a red flag... Course, chances are she sends you red flags well before you ever get to movie night...
Introduced your spooky story narrations to my girlfriend and she loves them almost as much as I do, big thanks for all the channels though, lots of cool content to cook to
I wouldn't be surprised if everyone already looking like zombies during the opening section was a George A Romero reference since some of his social commentary in Dawn of the Dead was that we were already zombies to begin with because of consumerism.
30:50 Wait, so could you just tell a zombie that has the very automated functioning of the brain to just stop and have it actually react accordingly? Imagine the solution to a zombie pandemic wouldn’t actually be nukes, vaccines or just a never ending battle for survival, instead its just telling the zombies that they have poor manners.
i stand by the fact that this is the most realistic Zombie Apocylise movie of al time, cause lets face it, after the events of 2020, NO ONE WOULD TAKE IT SERIOUSLY, well, not at first, at least
Covid wasn't really what it was stated to be. It's an amalgamation, nothing about it can develope in nature, as proven by Fauci under admission in court, meaning he effectively lied since the beginning that it was ever natural. There are 51 points that this shows deviations that only aloccur with laboratory modifications.
@@FlamespeedyAMVyea it’s funny these bozos make these types of comments yet they where running about with useless flipping masks pretending they where fighting the black plague hahahahaha
This is such a special fim. It came out at just the right time. It stands up wrll as a comedy, a horror, and a social commentary. Nowadays it's hard to call most films actual art, but this one is undeniably an art piece.
Bruh was thinking rn that it'd be cool if he covered this movie as i saw this waaay back when i was a kid, so its a treat. This channel made me rediscover and satisfied my childhood urge to talk about any sort of monster/alien movie I used to watch, would be really cool if he covered the Xenomorphs too, my fav.
Did you see the newer Predator movie, "Prey?" I thought it was really good, like a return to form to the original two, which were my favorite movies along with original Alien. Keep it simple, keep it interesting, etc.
I was 29 when I got to be a zombie extra in this. I also developed type 1 diabetes as an autoimmune response to my body fighting an infection and then attacking my pancreas.
What's awesome is that there is a mod on Project Zomboid called the Shaun Of The Dead Challenge mod, it adds a challenge map's (4 spacifically) where you have to survive as long as you can in 1 of 4 pubs which is awesome
I found your channel a few weeks ago and have a blast every time. 3 things. 1. Very informative. Thank you for all the research 2. It's always great to see professional takes of fiction. Very enterteining. 3. When zombie virus finally hits, you sir are prime suspect for making it
Yo Roanoke dunno if you've ever covered it but you should check out the madness plague from the show primal it only appears for one episode but it would be great to see your take on it!
Don't worry, RG. I got to watch your Host video even without notifications. Keep up the great work for us happy few that appreciate the work even without the reminder.
Bro watching your vids has literally made the bodies reaction to viruses and such so interesting to me. Where were you 20 years ago when I coulda put this interest to good use and become a scientist of some sort. Keep ‘em coming brother. Love your vids.
Think you missed a key thing. The zombie kid kicks a football at Shaun. That does take some brain power. And originally the jogger was meant to be a running zombie going after someone else.
I watched the Host video you made. Don’t remember if it came up in my feed as I’m subscribed to you, or I searched Roanoke Gaming and saw it. It was a great video as always. Somewhat irrelevant side note, I went back and watched a few of your very old videos and it was amazing to see how far you’ve come in terms of quality and general video structure/format. In one of the videos you started with, and I’m paraphrasing here, “it’s occurred to me that not all of you have seen/played all of the same games I have so I’m going to quickly recap it for those that haven’t, if you like that format let me know and I’ll continue doing it like this.” I found that funny bc I always assumed you always did that, but I guess not lol. I think it was one of your videos on that alien invasion game Resistance. Also your production and voice quality, personality and humor really come across better and better with each video. Your channel is one of my favorites, excellent combo of movie/game recaps with interesting science info involved in a fun way. Keep it up!
Well he means unlocked and that’s honestly not as mad as you might think in the UK maybe over night is a stretch but I mean plenty can forget. I don’t know it is what it is maybe it wouldn’t be smart in somewhere like London etc
This was actually a really good movie while paying homage in the process! This was always 1 of my favorites It's like imagine what we would do if we were in that situation but from there pov
Anybody else try to learn things but when Roanoke rambles you just start smiling and listening to his tone instead of actually listening? Gosh i love this channel.
The Flu.....Shaun I don't care if you think it's ridiculous it's a Zombie Plague now get that Red of you and DEAL WITH IT. Lol. Respect and keep up the epic work.
I loved the partial commentary inspired directly from the movie man they dont make movies like these anymore keep up the good work man lovin the gaming stuff 2
This movie is a bit of nostalgia for me. I'm somebody who loves zombie movies. However my name is Shaun and very rarely have I ever come across anybody that has spelled my name correctly. So this movie literally was made for me lol
Thanks for watching guys! Hope y'all have a good weekend!
when you mentioned monkeys made me think of the film Outbreak.

As a Welsh brit, I can confirm that the entire cornetto trilogy could happen a few streets over and the majority of the general public wouldn't notice cause we're all already practically zombies already lol, any thoughts on doing the aliens from The worlds end?
as a welsh brit as well if you want to a see a zombie all you got to do is stand outside a pub on a friday night lol
That all the movie is about, well kinf of. They are showing that even when people become zombies, nothing really seems to change, even when everything is normal, those who became zombies can still live as if it is normal life
The only issue is they explain what is happening in the world's end
I mean when your diet is made of fried food and narcotics what do they expect people to turn into? I joke but I’ve seen too many good kids turn to the binge drinking and the drugs to self medicate for a society and a culture that failed them on every single level. And yet what are we gonna do about it?
@@RomanvonUngernSternbergnrmfvus same man
Swear to god, that whole TV scene about how the world is going under but it's spliced between different shows is still one of the greatests scenes in movie history.
Fun fact for ya, that zombie with the arm off was an actual amputee, hence why the effect looks so real (because it is).
I always respected how this film just becomes a genuine horror film in the last half, and how they never pulled punches or had out of place jokes in dramatic moments.
I didn't know that
The guy they run over was also an amputee if you look at his ankles, he has prosthetic legs
wait so they amputated his arm just for this movie? now that's dedication...
Can we mention how awesome those journeys to the shop were? They were both unbroken scenes and last a pretty good while. Simon and Nick are the shiznit.
This is honestly one of my favorite movies. Even just going through the synopsis made me laugh. Absolute British classic.
One fo the best
This and Hot Fuzz are firmly in my top five of all time and also movies to bring to an abandoned island
Same this video brings back so many memories, any time we'd end up at my house back when I lived with my mom we would always end up upstairs high and I had Sean of the Dead on DVD, hundreds and hundreds of times we'd put on Sean of the Dead while we smoked, good times 👍
Probably my favorite movie I don't own a copy of (it was my ex's copy).
Something I’ve wondered a lot with zombie movies. If they are compelled by indiscriminate hunger why they don’t cannibalize each other, and at what stage of the zombification process does an individual have to be before other zombies stop trying to eat them.
Usually zombie films/media are based on a viral infection, one that can alter human behaviour as a means to propagate so biting or feeding on already infected hosts would just lead to the virus dying out.
The only virus that do that is from Days Gone video game, where the adult version of the infected cannibalize small Newt kid infecteds, my theory is that other zombie movies make their virus or parasites recognise each other, and their main purpose is to infect more people rather than eat each other to death
I made up this one story when I was younger sit in 1980s the “zombies” were called bloodies cuz they would rip and tear at each other until they were all bloody the virus acted the same way 28 weeks later virus reacts instant turn time extreme rage and violence to everything I’d had even wrote down that people noticed they would beat against things until they die sometimes
@@herrdoctor2895 still raises questions for example carriers like in left 4 dead they are carrying a live version of the virus and spreading it as they go yet still get attacked by infected who see uninfected as monsters
Not a lot of animals are willing to eat dead and actively putrefying flesh. There's of course some animals that do that and only that, but most animals will see something actively rotting off the bone and go 'eugh. nah'. So zombies may still have that drive.
When I was younger, I always felt bad for Ed that he turned into a zombie. Watching it again years later I kind of realize how shitty of a friend Ed is and just how much he screwed everything up for his own selfishness
He's the worst. Selfish, mindless, and with zero filter.
aye, but that's still a terrible fate 😢
Ed saved his life though 😂
While this maybe the case, it doesn't mean he deserved the fate he got. At the end of the day, he was still a friend to Shawn throughout the movie.
Lol.
I liked how the dvd showed how the zombies showed up at the Winchester, how harry potters girlfriend survived and what happened to Ed during the escape and final moments in the extras.
The amount of work that went into the script and the acting was top tier ❤️
2000's were a great time
YES! Agreed
@@RoanokeGaming hey can you at some point cover the cryptids from call of duty Ghost extinction mode
Shaun of the Dead, to me, was also the most believable zombie plague movie.
If they put it in the USA, Fox News would say the plague is a "far-left myth" until the couldn't, then they would blame the "liberal war on religion" for invoking God's wrath, albeit in newspeak. They'd flame the CDC for their "far-left agenda and propaganda" for talking about the facts, reality, and science that would be in direct opposition of their faux news show. The 700 Club would have its entire fan base and support throw all their money away to make them richer, being the religious network that actively preys on their flock. The entire would start taking military action against the USA as the world super-spreader of the disease because the USA could not stop its nut cases from overwhelming its science, medical, and rational communities.
If it happened in Russia, China, or North Korea, the insane propaganda would be the same as it would be in the USA, but it would be mainstream and state funded. However, their governments would also "attack traitors" or "purge ares infected by Western bioweapons" which would be actual quarantining and culling of the infected as military operations.
if it happened in India or anywhere near them in the Middle-East, they would react as if their mythical "Rakasha" (if I spelled that right) "returned" and take swift and brutal steps to contain the infection and destroy the Rakasha (the infected).
I could go on, but you get the idea. Placing the movie in the UK for a comic thing that's that realistic was golden. Absolutely golden!
British comedies panel shows and tv shows were on fire during this period, ranging from Edgar write to Ricky gervais, peep show never mind the Buzzcocks, it crowd, garth marenghi’s darkplace (little briton to some degree). allot of people pushing the boundary’s of comedy, but all in different ways. Alot wouldn’t be considered ok by todays standards.
Shaun of the Dead is comedic gold. The Queen song and the *paddling* scene is one of my favorite of all times cinematic scenes ever.
The foreshadowing in shaun of the dead is 10/10 once u notice it. I've watched this film so many times and it never gets boring.
They do the same thing in Hot Fuzz. Everything Danny asks him like shooting a gun the air going "ahhhh" or firing 2 guns whilst jumping through the air, happens later in the movie.
My favorite movie of all time. 2004 was so good. Shaun of the Dead, Resident Evil 4, World of Warcraft, Halo 2, plus LOTR was popping off, and so much more. What a good time to be alive.
you're not even mentioning half life 2? or actually no i guess that falls under 'and so much more' my mistake original gangsta
a coleague of mine was actually one of the zombies in this movie. Im glad you are doing a breakdown.
Dude thats awesome!
Did your colleague ever recover?
They found a cure? Cool, I thought you still had zombies.
Cool! Which one?
This is the first and only movie that I've ever began watching the director's commentary AND finished with it still on. So many tidbits and references that can be missed, including how Ed's plan for cheering up Shaun after being dumped was pretty much how the movie was going to play out.
I love this movie just for the fact the military show up at the end and shoot the zombies. Such a rare but of reality ensues it was a breath of fresh air.
Ya pretty much shows the zombies aren't TRULY a threat
@@secretagenttau2233 Yeah most generic slow-walking zombies wouldn't pose a threat to a regular human unless they were in significant numbers. Running/Fast Zombies like in the Dawn of the Dead 2004 or 28 Days/Weeks Later Infected are a much bigger threat. And some traditionally slower zombies can be a major threat, like the T-Virus Zombies from Resident Evil who can progress into much deadlier Crimson Heads and Lickers. Or the Cordecepys/Fungal Zombies from the Last of Us, due to their production of infectious spores and growing into deadlier forms as well.
@@tonts5329 Yeah I'd say any zombie that can only spread via biting and shit could be pretty easily mopped over by the military. Even if they can run, bullets are fucking fast and in great supply. But if it spreads through the air and can infect as easily as the flu (as in someone just needs to breath the same air) I can actually imagine that becoming a very fucked scenario.
That's what I loved about it. Any military that can deal with some isolated cities/infections would absolutely demolish any zombie incident. Nevermind going anywhere in the US with a zombie outbreak. 1 PSA saying: Heya, there's some zambis out and about so you can deal with em how ya want. There'd be way more living casualties than zombie casualties lmao
@@turkeygod6665only exception to that rule I’d say is The Walking Dead zombies cause everyone is infected in that, you’d literally have to shoot everybody on their death beds in that universe to keep the infection from spreading
When David wanted to shoot Shaun's mum, He had already crossed the line...revealing he was in love with Lizz and would sabotage Shaun at any opportunity, made the character detestable...but when he pulled the trigger on Shaun....David was no longer redeemable and became persona non grata..I'm glad he was eaten alive...
This movie and Hot Fuzz are two of my favorite films! Thanks for covering this one, Roanoke!
Love em myself!
What about worlds end? I liked that one too
@@neilcairns9531 same, it was pretty fun to watch
@@Haiesta yes, I wish he would make more with his friends. I liked all 3
In the hot fuzz DVD, there's a feature that shows all the inside jokes and it's hilarious how many references there are to famous police movies and even 28 weeks later. One of my personal favorites is that in 28 weeks later the boy at the beginning says he's coming from Sandford which is the fictional village from Hot Fuzz. The village in Hot Fuzz is actually Wells in real life. Another thing I find funny is that I live in Sanford Maine and the town directly nextdoor is Wells Maine.
Zombie on a wheelchair is the perfect example of how people aren't fully gone when infected in this movie.
And now that you've mentioned World of Warceaft, have you ever discussed Warcraft's plague?
Corrupted blood incident? Or just the boring plague made by the forsaken
I would love to see you do a breakdown on Hunt: Showdown’s creatures someday, the spider is a good start or maybe the generic zombies
I can take a look in the future!
Oh hell yes
@@RoanokeGaming What ever happend to that other last of us video you said you were going to do?
Yes! The fact that it's occult/viral related!!!
@@RoanokeGaming let's gooooo woooooooo
I love how the first lines in this movie are a summary of the entire plot. Such great writing and foreshadowing overall
I remember a while back in WOW a disease unexpectedly spread through the server due to an animal carrier carrying it out of the raid battle it was supposed to stay in. You should totally analyze that outbreak!!!!!
If its the corrupted blood outbreak, i recall reading that it was analyzed by the cdc to determine how people would react to a pandemic. Which seeing how covid turned out was pretty accurate. It was quarantined somewhat successfully before people started to spread it on purpose or without caring about the quarantine which caused everything to be infected.
@@mikec8086 the CDC and the WHO kinda flip flopped a lot at the start. I remember them saying "it's like the flu, no worries." Then they quickly deleted that. "No don't listen to those fools saying it's just a flu. You need to take this seriously."
@@mikec8086 I still remember the paper carried a disclaimer that trolling spreading the virus deliberately/camping newbies/meant some of the outcome can't be extrapolated to real life turned out to be false.
Then you got the airline toilet licking girl that caught covid doing exactly that lol
What I find impressive is the sheer number of background information you wouldnt notice. The best is when he goes to the shop, the radio in the shop is on an Indian channel. If you can speak or understand the language it is saying that the dead are rising and feasting on the living. The same shop owner is seen later on as a zombie and holds his hand out to Shaun as when he left the money on the till he was short and the shop keeper wants the rest of his money.
I had GBS in 2016 and it was triggered by gastric flu. I also got Swine flu, MRSA, Septicemia(Caused by infected central line).The GBS paralysed me from head to toe, the only thing I could feel was extreme pain contantly, I was giving a Tracheotomy and then put in a coma for a month . Once I was finally out of the ICU I was moved to rehab for 5 months to learn how to walk and pretty much do everything else again. As of today almost all feeling has returned except for my feet which I still cant feel anything except pain. The GBS long term effects will be with me for life, such as - random stabs of pain in my body, Chronic fatigue syndrome, being wheelchair bound outdoors as I cant walk very far without getting exhausted. GBS is horrible but also very interesting with how fast the body becomes totally paralysed. My case was so bad because it had done its full life cycle of 4 weeks before doctors figured out what was wrong, had they caught it sooner they could have treated it and prevented the worst of it. I would be very interested to hear you discuss it more.
I'm very sorry to hear your story and I hope that you progress to a pain free and mobile state eventually uu
@@rco7195 Thank you so much. Yeah its been difficult but I am so glad to be alive. Doctors told my family to expect the worst as they didnt think I would make it.
Man I have mad respect for you, you preserved through some of the worst things I have heard of, you are a truly inspirational person!
@@JimboTheEngineer Thank you so much, I really appreciate that.❤
I just love how everything happens in the background for the movie.
It’s like that commercial for school shooters where there’s some dude in the background showing every red flag while a romance story is going on in the foreground, but instead now it’s a zombie flick.
It’s not until shit hits the fan that we can finally realize what’s going on in this movie.
Honestly the part that I found to to be the most hilarious part that the whole movie is that the very next morning after Sean and Ed went to the Winchester (AKA The Pub) Sean is completely oblivious and non-exervant to his surroundings, one thing I learned about people that are very predictable and have a routine throughout their lives are usually oblivious to their own surroundings and environment, but in Sean's case in this movie is actually pretty funny if you actually think about it.
*Shaun. Its in the movies title lol
Oh my god, thank you sooo much, I love this film so much and am absolutely ecstatic to see you cover it, like an early birthday present!
Also, one thing that’s so awesome about this is that there’s so much foreshadowing that makes it amazing to rewatch
24:09 i live how there is dramatic immune system music for this part
This movie mad me actually fall in love with understanding movies. I saw it at the perfect age with amazing timing. And I was just like "I wanna know about how you make movies. The lighting. The sound. Fx. Scripts."
Dude this movie apparently had far reaching implications for alot of people which is well deserved
@@RoanokeGaming its definitely one of those movies that almost everyone has seen. Any time this or hot fuzz is brought up everyone's like OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Fun fact. Remember the twin zombies you see in this film outside the Winchester? I lived down the road from them two. They are really nice guys.
This was my first ever zombie movie. Dvd, and absolutely loving it but also being terrified at the same time. I even remember the next day freaking out because I mistaked a drunk neighbor as a zombie lol. This will always be my favorite movie of all time
Same actually. I was absolutely terrified of Zombies until after I watched my second one, which was World War Z
Zombies are a terrifying concept
I have it on Blu-ray but I can't watch it because my laptop doesn't have a disc drove
Remember the man in Florida that another naked man was eating his face? I got cold then from it.
@@cartoonhistory353 these things are not zombies maybe draugr which makes them worse than undead slaves. Though the Zombie ep. of The Night Stalker tv series showed their Bokor could use a zombie as assassins.
13:25 "The Elder Winchester" is actually a great name for a Legendary firearm...
The Trilogy revolved on Simon Pegg's alcoholism. Shawn of the dead being his mundane life revolving on alcohol and The World's end how he overcame it.
So hot fuzz?
@@Hank_Hill. yeah, hot fuzz too. I don't remember what exactly that one deals with though. I think part of it had to do with taking help from others when you need it. But I'm not sure.
My favorite part of this movie was the Muppet Treasure Island reference. "How does she do that?" is basically a direct line-for-line reference to the beginning where the Bar Lady is fighting off the pirates. It may or may not be intentional, but I am seeing it as intentional.
I absolutely love all of your videos, and have for years. Thank you for doing what you do.
And I appreciate you watching man
My favorite part of the whole movie, for no particular reason, is that when the bar is lit on fire, every single shell that pops off manages to get a headshot when they couldn't manage to get a single one just moments ago (not counting "oy, prick!")
I think what's crazy is that Dianne survives that suicide run through the David eating horde 😂
All ya gotta do is climb up a tree and eat your boyfriends severed leg while you wait 😂
@@246kisses you ain't wrong 😂
Been waiting on this one, much appreciated my friend.
"In the garden, there's a girl." "We're not using the zed word!" "I sorta twanged it.." I fucking love this movie. Appreciate the deep dive, my dood.
"There are Zombies on the Laaawn " 🎶🧟♂️💐
20:30 Background sound is "Demons... Monsters..." for the Halo CE soundtrack. I love that Roanoke uses the Halo tracks for his videos, they fit so well.
Definitely wanna see you cover the biology of the self-mutating product of needing to adapt to radiation that is Shin Godzilla of *Shin Godzilla* at some point!
He's done that by 2024.
I swear you talk about a lot of the same stuff in terms of immune responses and yet it never gets old broz your voice is truly blessed
I watched this movie atleast 5 times! And I never realized the potential causes to the outbreak that were mentioned throughout the movie were references to other popular zombie films! Until now. It's almost like this was a thank you or made in appreciation to the big George A. Romero movies.
It's a love letter to the whole genre, really.
Trivia: The 2 stars make an undead cameo in Romero's "Land of the Dead"
I absolutely LOVE the Halo CE Flood music in the background! Makes this so enjoyable to watch
same
Bro instant this popped up, I didn’t click on a video fast enough. It should be easy to explain the flu in this awesome film…just have a pint and wait for all this to blow over.
im about to go get a pint here soon enough! Hope you enjoy it bro!
What's kinda funny with your explanation of the brain swelling, is that it sorta ends up fitting with Return of the Living Dead, where the skeletonized female zombie says she wants to eat brains because it soothes the pain.
I remember watching this movie as a kid thinking I'd be so successful by Shaun's age lol
The halo CE guitar riffs in the background as you talk about viruses is just perfection lmao
I'm doing a film course at College and we re-enacted the scene where Ed and Shaun are coming up with their plan, was a great laugh!
I love how you add Halo music in these breakdowns of virus outbreaks/infestation
Always takes me back when I was 8 scared shitless of the flood in Halo CE 🤣
Same here lol
Tbh if you cover any movies with Simon Pegg and Nick Frost, i'm instantly clicking on it because they are all awesome.
Feeling old, pfft?! My introduction to comedy/horror were: Gremlins, Fright Night, American Werewolf In London, Re-Animator, House, Evil Dead 2 ect. Shaun is an excellent movie though, the entire Cornetto trilogy is, Hot Fuzz being my favorite. Great video though. Not sure you could do a video on it, but Tucker and Dale Vs Evil is highly recommended.
Always happy to have more zombie biology explored! Great work Roanoke!
"You've got red on you..."

Definitely a good test.
If she doesn't like Shawn of the dead, she likely has no sense of humor and you dodge a red flag...
Course, chances are she sends you red flags well before you ever get to movie night...
These two are one of those magical acting pairs 😂

I love their movies, especially this and Paul while Worlds end was pretty cool too
@@Haiesta this and Paul are easily the best 😂 but hot fuzz is a close third
Interesting how leaving the door open ultimately got Ed bitten. If they'd have closed the door Ed might have made it too
Ed got bitten at the Winchester when it was over run.
Introduced your spooky story narrations to my girlfriend and she loves them almost as much as I do, big thanks for all the channels though, lots of cool content to cook to
I wouldn't be surprised if everyone already looking like zombies during the opening section was a George A Romero reference since some of his social commentary in Dawn of the Dead was that we were already zombies to begin with because of consumerism.
30:50
Wait, so could you just tell a zombie that has the very automated functioning of the brain to just stop and have it actually react accordingly?
Imagine the solution to a zombie pandemic wouldn’t actually be nukes, vaccines or just a never ending battle for survival, instead its just telling the zombies that they have poor manners.
Scolding seems to he viable 😂
Telling them that biting is not the proper way to greet someone. So they won't bite someone upon meeting them.
@@Thisguy12345-m Oh great, now we have vampires!
As British zombies that would actually be pretty effective. Even when dead a true Brit would loathe to be seen as uncouth.
As a citizen of the US I can confirm that if I left my door open I would wake up to raccoons, opossums, and deer in said house.
i stand by the fact that this is the most realistic Zombie Apocylise movie of al time, cause lets face it, after the events of 2020, NO ONE WOULD TAKE IT SERIOUSLY, well, not at first, at least
Covid wasn't really what it was stated to be. It's an amalgamation, nothing about it can develope in nature, as proven by Fauci under admission in court, meaning he effectively lied since the beginning that it was ever natural. There are 51 points that this shows deviations that only aloccur with laboratory modifications.

@@FlamespeedyAMVyea it’s funny these bozos make these types of comments yet they where running about with useless flipping masks pretending they where fighting the black plague hahahahaha
@@FlamespeedyAMV they were infected before they found out. The only ones that already wear the best masks are still alive.
greatly appreciate the effort you put into the videos dude. I'm sure you get this one all the time, but do you plan on covering the Xenomorph?
Hey Roanoke! Would you ever go over Primal's "Plague of Madness"? Think you'd enjoy it and it would be a neat overview!
This is such a special fim. It came out at just the right time. It stands up wrll as a comedy, a horror, and a social commentary. Nowadays it's hard to call most films actual art, but this one is undeniably an art piece.
Bruh was thinking rn that it'd be cool if he covered this movie as i saw this waaay back when i was a kid, so its a treat.
This channel made me rediscover and satisfied my childhood urge to talk about any sort of monster/alien movie I used to watch, would be really cool if he covered the Xenomorphs too, my fav.
Did you see the newer Predator movie, "Prey?" I thought it was really good, like a return to form to the original two, which were my favorite movies along with original Alien. Keep it simple, keep it interesting, etc.
@@furiousapplesack nah but a friend if mine wanted to, I refrained since I didn't like most recent movie, guess I'll give it a watch.
I was 29 when I got to be a zombie extra in this. I also developed type 1 diabetes as an autoimmune response to my body fighting an infection and then attacking my pancreas.
What's awesome is that there is a mod on Project Zomboid called the Shaun Of The Dead Challenge mod, it adds a challenge map's (4 spacifically) where you have to survive as long as you can in 1 of 4 pubs which is awesome
I found your channel a few weeks ago and have a blast every time. 3 things.
1. Very informative. Thank you for all the research
2. It's always great to see professional takes of fiction. Very enterteining.
3. When zombie virus finally hits, you sir are prime suspect for making it
4: love the Halo CE BGM
C'mon Roanoke. Strigoi from the strain need to have a lore and morphology video.
This film is genuinely a masterpiece, the foreshadowing and references are incredible.. just great writing
Yo Roanoke dunno if you've ever covered it but you should check out the madness plague from the show primal it only appears for one episode but it would be great to see your take on it!
The machine Ed uses at the Winchester is called a Juke Machine. Like a Slot machine, but way more interactive and usually has mini-games.
You are killin it Roanok, with the consistent uploads. Respect
Don't worry, RG. I got to watch your Host video even without notifications. Keep up the great work for us happy few that appreciate the work even without the reminder.

I have a buddy that does this and its TERRIBLE
Bro watching your vids has literally made the bodies reaction to viruses and such so interesting to me. Where were you 20 years ago when I coulda put this interest to good use and become a scientist of some sort. Keep ‘em coming brother. Love your vids.
Think you missed a key thing. The zombie kid kicks a football at Shaun. That does take some brain power. And originally the jogger was meant to be a running zombie going after someone else.
I watched the Host video you made. Don’t remember if it came up in my feed as I’m subscribed to you, or I searched Roanoke Gaming and saw it. It was a great video as always. Somewhat irrelevant side note, I went back and watched a few of your very old videos and it was amazing to see how far you’ve come in terms of quality and general video structure/format. In one of the videos you started with, and I’m paraphrasing here, “it’s occurred to me that not all of you have seen/played all of the same games I have so I’m going to quickly recap it for those that haven’t, if you like that format let me know and I’ll continue doing it like this.” I found that funny bc I always assumed you always did that, but I guess not lol. I think it was one of your videos on that alien invasion game Resistance. Also your production and voice quality, personality and humor really come across better and better with each video. Your channel is one of my favorites, excellent combo of movie/game recaps with interesting science info involved in a fun way. Keep it up!
I mean I would be pretty pissed if my roommate kept leaving the door open.
Well he means unlocked and that’s honestly not as mad as you might think in the UK maybe over night is a stretch but I mean plenty can forget. I don’t know it is what it is maybe it wouldn’t be smart in somewhere like London etc
Roanoke talking about zombies: "It's definitely a virus. Sidebar... lets talk about toxoplasmosis for the next 5 minutes!"
This was actually a really good movie while paying homage in the process!
This was always 1 of my favorites It's like imagine what we would do if we were in that situation but from there pov
Naaaah they slow af u would prolly outrun them
Anybody else try to learn things but when Roanoke rambles you just start smiling and listening to his tone instead of actually listening? Gosh i love this channel.
The Flu.....Shaun I don't care if you think it's ridiculous it's a Zombie Plague now get that Red of you and DEAL WITH IT.
Lol.
Respect and keep up the epic work.
I loved the partial commentary inspired directly from the movie man they dont make movies like these anymore keep up the good work man lovin the gaming stuff 2
This movie is a bit of nostalgia for me. I'm somebody who loves zombie movies. However my name is Shaun and very rarely have I ever come across anybody that has spelled my name correctly. So this movie literally was made for me lol
I could listen to u talk about viruses all day. I also love it when u talk about our favorte prion. It's always exciting.
