| The commentary is by Simon Pegg and Edgar Wright.
Half trivia track, half informative and half stand
up comedy (hang on, is that 3 halves? Oh well) this
track is really one of the best commentaries I have
ever heard. It is fun and entertaining, and a great
way to get help to spot all the 'horror asides'.
The special features are divided into a few sections:
Raw Meat contains:
Edgar and Simon's Flip Chart (13 minutes
20 seconds ) which is a run through of the film
by the writer done in September 2001 using a flip
book (often used by teachers or in business meetings),
and is a quite amusing run through of the movie,
before it was even filmed.
SFX Comparisons (2 minutes 15 seconds) is just
that. A few scenes from the movie with the special
effects removed, so you can see what had to be
done to get some of the effects.
Make Up Effects (2 minutes 13 seconds) shows
close up views of some of the zombies from the
movie, with and without the 'eye'
effects put in, and a few 'zombie walk'
tests.
EPK Featurette (7 minutes 2 seconds) discusses
the origins of the movie and what the lead actors
and the director thought about their roles within
the movie, and also whether they are making a
horror, or a comedy, or something new altogether.
It is a bit of a fluff piece, but kept interesting
by the personalities of the cast and crew.
Zombie Gallery contains:
Photo Gallery is a series of behind the scenes
photos taken of the cast and crew at rehearsals.
2000AD Strip a comic stripped based on part of
the film, taken from the English sci fi comic 2000AD.
Poster Designs, which is a series of poster ideas
for the film.
Trails of the Dead contains various trailers
for Shaun of the Dead, including
the teaser trailer from Fright Fest 2003.
Missing Bits contains:
Funky Pete (1 minute 56 seconds) which shows
the 'clean' version of a scene for
the airplane version where all the 'F'
words are changed to the word 'funk'…do
you funking well understand what I funking well
mean…you mother funker?
The Man Who Would Be Shaun (28 seconds) shows
Nick Frost and Simon Pegg fooling around with
different accents in a particular scene.
Outtakes (10 minutes 39 seconds), surprisingly,
are a selection of amusing outtakes. One warning
though, within these outtakes contain the worst
Beatles impressions you will ever hear.
Plot Holes contains 3 sections: What happened
to Shaun when he ran off (43 seconds), What happened
to Dianne When She Left the Winchester (1 minute
14 seconds) and How Did Ed get from the Cellar
to the Shed (1 minute and 18 seconds). These sections
are done as comic strips, with the tale told by
the respective characters, and fill in the plot
holes quite suitably and amusingly.
Extended Bits (12 minutes and 48 seconds) is
a selection of scenes from the movie that were
trimmed for various reasons. This extra can be
played with or without the commentary by Simon
Pegg and Edgar Wright. |
