From Spaced to Hot Fuzz to Baby Driver, Edgar Wright is one of the most original directors working today. His first feature film, Shaun of the Dead, holds up as a bonafide classic. It's not just a great zombie movie. It's an excellent comedy. Inspired by an episode of the 1999 sitcom Spaced, Shaun of the Dead reunites a ton of old collaborators, including Simon Pegg and Nick Frost, and Edgar Wright himself. Today I'll be looking at one of the main ways Pegg and Wright use repetition to construct a near-perfect script in Shaun of the Dead.

    • Great stuff. Shaun of the Dead is one of my all time favorites. Could you also consider looking at it from the perspective of being a satire of the Heroes Journey. Everything from assembling an unlikely group of heroes to having to face your [step] father and ultimately defeat him a la Oedipus, it's all there beat for beat.

    • For me the first two movies were about Bill Nighy. After he realizes he was about to die, he tries to explain wanting to toughen up Sean. Then he dies, and I’m “No! I want to hear this.” Next time we see Bill, he’s explaining to Nicolas, how he’s been too good. For me, “Yes I can, I’m the Chief Inspector!” Is a call back. And a glorious one at that.

  • I honestly believe that Hot Fuzz's script will become a goto for film classes in future years. It's perfect. Every single line of dialogue either advances the plot or sets up a gag, if it isn't doing both at the same time.

    • I agree, and I also think an important touchstone that wasn't mentioned in the video is Back to the Future, which similarly doesn't have a single line of dialogue in the first of half of the movie that doesn't have repercussions or an answer in the second half. Shaun and Hot Fuzz channel the spirit of that so well, with it reaching an almost preposterous density in Hot Fuzz. I have to admit, when I first saw Hot Fuzz I thought it was overstuffed and baggy, until repeated viewings made me realise how meaningful every moment if it is. If I have one criticism of it all, I've never thought, "You've got red on you," was such a good line, it's a bit unnatural and shoehorned in to me.

  • my favorite dialog-based callbacks are the ones that get recontextualized, like the "cock it" and the "glad somebody made it". there's a specific tragedy to the "i'll stop doing them when you stop laughing" "i'm not laughing" exchange being recontextualized from "i'm not laughing, that joke was stupid and i'm cheekily letting you know that" to "i'm not laughing, these are tears. i'm crying." some other dialog-based callbacks that i only noticed on later rewatches: - pete's "stop defending him, shaun! all he ever does is hold you back!" gets brought back by ed himself as his reasoning for shaun leaving him behind ("all i ever do is hold you back.") - the whole film, every time ed decides to leave to do something, he says "two seconds." every time. at the very end of the movie, after shaun tells liz he's going to pop into the garden to visit him in the shed, he says to himself "two seconds." that ones makes me tear up sometimes. - when liz first breaks up with shaun, she starts her spiel by saying "look, if i don't do something..." and shaun's only response is "what do you mean 'do something'?" and then later when shaun needs to drive the zombie hoard away from the winchester he says they'll follow them in unless he does something, and this time it's liz who responds "what do you mean 'do something'?" amazing film.

  • Edgar's comedy is so quick and snappy, with such tightly woven plots and character beats that make for not only some of the funniest films I've watched, but also most heartfelt films too. With the jokes being so quick you pick up on them all, but different jokes hit you harder every time, maybe you'll notice something you missed last time, overall they're bloody brilliant. But hell, the repetition works phenomenally, it's done so well. Edgar Wright never misses. Spaced, Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz, Scott Pilgrim, World's Ends, Baby Driver and Last Night in Soho are all phenomenal. He's probably my favourite director cause his style works for so many film genres. Light-hearted low stakes shows, zombies, cop drama, comic adaptation, sci-fi apocalypse, heist and supernatural timetravel, he's so dynamic and seems to hit every beat he needs to and then some. Love everything I've watched of his and look forward to the future

I said, it's a romance, comedy, horror, action, social commentary, brilliant dialogue and perfect direction. Edit: For those wondering, calling it Sean is an inside joke between me and my friends based on how they changed certain things for American audiences, like "drunk" instead of "pissed." So, change Shaun to Sean and turn it back. It's just a joke.

They're in the same vein as _Sean of the Dead_ similar, in that they are campy-comedy "horrors" _(although, Evil Dead was actually trying to be a legitimate horror, but they embraced the comedy with Army)_ Then, for a serious 'Zombie flick', I can't recommend enough both _28 Days Later,_ and it's sequel _28 Weeks Later._ For whatever reason, despite not being too into the genre, I loved those 2 movies! Hence why I figure you may also enjoy these. 😊

  • It’s still one of the greatest films I’ve ever seen. It’s the culmination of all that hard work they put into Spaced that comes together cinematically to create a movie that really is a gem from its time. I remember being so excited to see it when it came to the cinema and it definitely did not disappoint. Great video!

  • I've caught a few of these lately and really like them. Short, enjoyable and enlightening. For me there will never be a better movie than Hot Fuzz. It was the first of the Cornetto Trilogy that I watched. I watched Shaun of the Dead later and although I like it, it took me a couple of viewings to warm totally to it. As I said short with very succinct scene breakdowns.

  • One of the best callbacks is in The World's End. When Rosamund Pike tells Simon Pegg "There comes a time when you have to go forwards not backwards." Then, at the end of the movie, during the car get away, she starts off by driving backwards and then forwards, doing the opposite of what she said earlier.

At worlds end is also quite relatable if your from a boring small town in the uk.
