- Written by Simon Pegg and Edgar Wright
- Directed by Edgar Wright
- Starring Simon Pegg, Nick Frost, Bill Nighy, Martin Freeman, Rafe Spall (Timothy Spall’s son), Simon and Edgar’s family members, have Edgar as a voice actor at some point and preferably have Bill Bailey, Kate Ashfield, Dylan Moran, Peter Serafinowicz, Lucy Davis, Timothy Dalton and Jessica Hynes
- Produced by Nira Park
- Cornetto (mint)
- Taking a “shortcut”
- Lots of blood
- A hand injury (like Pete’s in Shaun and Nicholas Angel’s in Fuzz)
- Twins (like the zombie twins in Shaun and the Bill Bailey twins in Fuzz (who nobody tells nothin’))
- A 28 Months(?) reference (In Shaun, at the end while filpping through channels you hear the line ”Claims that the virus was caused by rage-infected monkeys have now been dismissed as bull- “, a 28 Days nod. Then in 28 Weeks there is a shot with a swan, a reference to the swan in Hot Fuzz, Elvis)
- A whole lot of Bromance between Simon and Nick’s characters (fun fact: in an early draft of Fuzz there was a love interest for Nicholas Angel, but she was cut and most of her lines were given to Danny Butterman, unchanged)
- A monkey of some sort (like Ed’s impression of Clyde and the stuffed animal Angel won in Fuzz)
- The word exacerbate
- The line “YEAH _OYEEE!” (Boy in Shaun, Roy in Fuzz)
- Someone being called “pickle” (an affectionate name Edgar’s mum called him which was also used in Spaced)
- Simon’s character saying about/to Nick’s, “He’s not my boyfriend! Hey/thanks, babe” (also used in Spaced)
- A Winchester gun
- A pub with husband and wife owners, a fruit machine and a sequence where at least one gun is being fired
- A flower shop where Simon’s character will buy flowers for someone he loves
- Quick, Edgar Wright style, transition sequences
- A cleaned up, television version with words like “funk” “clump” and “silt”
- Clever character names (In Shaun the names rhyme with the character’s ultimate fate and in Fuzz they are almost all occupations or activities)
- Simon’s character getting dumped
- On the DVD, an End-o-Meter (or something of that nature)
- Foreshadowing, references to other movies of that genre and repeating lines
- An actual photo of one of the actors as a child (In Shaun there was a picture of Simon and Fuzz had a picture of Nick)
- Nick’s character has to “die” but then return in the final scene
