Line 8:
* [[Hey, It's That Guy!]]: Of course, [[Shaun of the Dead|Shaun]]/[[Spaced|Tim]] as Nicholas Angel and [[Shaun of the Dead|Ed]]/[[Spaced|Mike]] as Danny Butterman.
** Stephen Merchant, co-creator of ''[[The Office]]'' as P.I. Staker.
*** [[Retroactive Recognition]]: (Probably only to people outside the U.K., who wouldn't be as familiar with Stephen Merchant.) Hey [[Portal 2 (Video Game)|Wheatley]], have you always had problems with birds?
** [[James Bond]]/''[[Doctor Who|Rassilon]]''/[[Flash Gordon (Filmfilm)|Prince Barin]] owns a supermarket!
** [[Gangs of New York|Boss Tweed]] / [[Harry Potter (Filmfilm)|Horace Slughorn]]/[[Moulin Rouge|Harold Zidler]] is the head of Standford Police!
** The bad guy from ''The Mask of Zorro'' is a doctor. He'll deal with it.
*** Yeah, motherfucker.
** DC Cartwright is played by [[Shaun of the Dead|Noel/Noodle]], and DS Wainwright is [[The Bourne Ultimatum|Simon Ross]].
** Not to mention that the London Metropolitan Police is staffed at the highest level by [[Shaun of the Dead|Phil]], [[I'm Alan Partridge (TV)|Alan Partridge]] and [[The Office|Tim Canterbury]].
** [[Peep Show|Sophie]] as PC Doris Thatcher
** And there's [[Harry Potter (Filmfilm)|Argus Filch]] as Webley!
** And the truly savvy will recognize [[Indiana Jones]]' French, head-exploding rival [[Raiders of the Lost Ark (Film)|Belloq]] as the Reverend.
** Manny from [[Black Books]] is an administrator for the local Police Service.
*** And The Cleaner is the other Sgt. Fisher.
Line 54:
*** According to the DVD commentary, the ''[[Shaun of the Dead]]'' DVD was actually the Spanish version of the film, title and all.
**** Another shout out to ''[[Shaun of the Dead]]'', when Nicholas and Danny are chasing the shoplifter, they come across a row of fences where Nick says "What, you've never taken a shortcut before?"
** When a shed full of guns is revealed: "[[He -Man and Thethe Masters of Thethe Universe (Animation)|By the Power of Grayskull!]]". Also said later on when Butterman's film collection is revealed.
** Outsider cop visits a small town and discovers an evil's cult plot? Sounds like ''[[The Wicker Man]]''. Bonus points since Edward Woodward (who played the cop in the original Wicker Man) appears in the film.
*** Well technically, the {{spoiler|NWA}} is not an evil cult, but a [[Well-Intentioned Extremist]] association [[Gone Horribly Wrong]].
Line 63:
*** Looks more like The Mariachi in [[Desperado]]
** The lines in the beginning of ''[[Shaun of the Dead]]''.
{{quote| '''Danny Butterman''': Do you want anything from the shop?<br />
'''Nicholas Angel''': Cornetto. }}
** [[Shaun of the Dead|"You've got red on you."]]
** In addition to the NWA being a [[Shout-Out]] to [[N.W.A.|you-know-what]] (see [[Fun Withwith Acronyms]]), Danny's "Yeaaaahh booooyyyyy!" to the barman before getting drunk with Angel.
** {{spoiler|Mr. Thatcher}} firing a Winchester Model 1887 - sawn off - is a reference to ''Terminator2''.
