AH HA! You, sir, have to go to OPTIONS, then SUBTITLES, scroll down to the 3rd selection where it says ZOMBIE-O-METER, then Start Movie.

The subtitles will start right up, and I think the first one was the credits for the opening theme, taken from "Dawn of the Dead

Cool...found em.

Finally....confirmation on what I thought about the whole "Foree"
Electronics thing.

There's alot of homages I totally missed and I'm so asshamed of myself.

i watched half of this movie then turned it off because it was horrible but then i watched it all and i thought how the hell could i have watched this pile of crap not funny IMO

In the commentary, Simon said that the U.S. test audiences didn't get that, because here we call it "Nutty Buddy", lol. The "British translation" of Shaun's line when he sees Mary in the garden was; "Oh my god. She's pissed!", but us silly Yanks would think she's angry.

Besides. "Oh my God, she's a DRUNK!" was a HELL of a lot funnier. That whole sequence spawned one of my favorite movie lines ever.

"I think she likes you, Shaun. I think she want's to CUDDLE!" 😆

I know. There was another thread where I shared all the ones I spotted, and it wasn't even 1/2. I DID get the (John) "Landis" supermarket one, but I thought it was for "Thriller", and not "AWIL". Just thought "Thriller" made more sense.

Also, in the opening, where the character names ultimately reflected their fate, they were wrong about Diane = Dies. In the plot holes, the storyboard shows that she escaped from the Winchester, and scaled a tree until the coast was clear.

in england we use the term pissed to describe drunk people
but it is used to describe angry people to

same as australia, you have to see who their talking about to context it

I'm going to Buy it soon.

Yeah, its an absolutely terrific movie!
Very funny! And the acting, directing and writing are all top notch! 👆

Also its easy to understand what they're saying. I didn't need subtitles like Gosford Park! 😠

It's also nice to see what the outlying neighborhoods of London look like.

I'm with C-dic........

This film is BRILLIANT. pure genius.

isn't it just

Saw this on Showtime last night, it was pretty funny with a nice bit of gore thrown in for good measure.
ie. The ripping apart of the stomach

And I liked the end when Shaun was playing the video game with his Zombie friend!

Shaun of the Dead was the COOLEST NEW MOVIE I HAVE EVER SEEN! I saw it twice in theatres! I lovvvvvved it!

I love it when Shaun is on the phone with his mom and Ed grabs it and says, "We're coming to get you, Barbara!" 😂

I loved this movie. I don't know why but the scene that made me laugh hysterically was when he was walking from the cooler in the store and slips on the blood and continues to walk like nothing happened.

Great movie. Great spoof. Nice story. Fantastic ending. Terrific!

Instant classic. A terrific satire. IMO, the best part of the film was the scene at the Winchester when Shaun, Liz, and Ed beat the hell out of the owner to the beat of that Queen song. I laughed my ass off.
