Corrected entry: Near the start of the film, when Ed is telling Shaun who called, he says 'First your mom rang about going round tomorrow night, then Liz rang about the two of you eating out tonight.' But Liz called just as Shaun was leaving to go work therefore Shaun's mom couldn't have called before Liz.

Corrected entry: When its Shaun's second walk to the store, Shaun doesn't have enough money for the beer and ice cream cone he's going to buy so he says he's going to leave about 15p. Later in the movie, the owner of the shop appears as a zombie with his hand outstretched gesturing "You owe me money".
Correction: Pointing out something that's visible to anybody watching the film is not valid trivia.

Corrected entry: When Shaun gets back to the Winchester after he gave the zombies 'the slip', he opens a bag of 'hog lumps' and offers Liz one. Liz doesn't actually eat a hog lump, instead she eats a piece of bruschetta.

Shaun of the Dead (2004)
Corrected entry: In the scene with the main characters fighting John, the pub landlord, the jukebox comes on playing Don't Stop Me Now by Queen. Shaun shouts "Who turned that on?" and Ed replies "It's on random," which is a reference to earlier in the film. But there is no reason for the jukebox to switch on other than to provide music for the fight. If it was on random why didn't it switch on earlier?
Correction: The power to the pub has only just come on - the jukebox starts up automatically at that point. When they initially arrived there, the power was off.

Shaun of the Dead (2004)
Corrected entry: Just before Shaun and his gang meet a similar group of survivors in an alleyway on their way to the Winchester Arms, look at the background as they enter the alleyway. First a car goes past, then a person on a bike. This is a very risky method of transport in a supposedly zombie infested area.
Correction: Actually, it's an excellent form of transport. Assuming a reasonably fit rider, it provides for reasonable speed, much faster than the zombies themselves, and has a great deal of agility, much more so than a car. It would also allow the rider to move quickly through narrow alleyways, something that a car wouldn't allow. While a car is better as an offensive weapon against the zombies, and would be safer if the zombies got too close, if the aim is purely to escape, then a bike is a pretty good choice, probably bettered only by a motorcycle.

Correction: Character mistake. Ed's generally pretty clueless, so it's hardly unlikely that he'd forget which way round the calls occurred, particularly as it doesn't matter in the slightest.
