1. The film only has an eleven-week shooting plan. After shooting, it takes two weeks to do the post-production, and the work efficiency must be high.
2. In order to portray Nicholas Angel in the film, Simon Page spent a lot of time training his gun skills. At the same time, it took him a long time to brake while practicing the bicycle. It seems that Simon Peggy is indeed an excellent actor.
3. The unlock code for the evidence room is 999, which is the same as the British police telephone.
4. The protagonist of the film is named Nicholas Angel to pay tribute to the film and the music director of "Shaun the Zombie" Nick Angel.
5. In the film, Angel once drove the diesel version of the Vauxhall Astra and Subaru Impreza WRX, in which the Subaru logo became "HF", which was obviously the abbreviation of the film's title.
6. In "Shaun Zombie", Ed, played by Nick Frost, once shot his sister in the leg with an air gun. In this film, he shot the doctor in the leg with an air gun.
7. In the first half of the film, Danny always asked Angell some annoying questions, such as "Have you ever jumped into the air with a double gun?" Angel replied: "No, you have watched too many police movies!" In the second half of the film, Angel completed almost every action Danny proposed.
8. In order to play Angel, Simon Peggy lost 28 pounds.
9. The Somerfield Supermarket is indeed a British supermarket chain, and the relevant scenes are indeed filmed in the supermarket. I chose Somerfield because director Edgar Wright worked as a supermarket replenisher in Somerfield when he was young, and he also played the same role in the film.
10 In the first draft of the script, there was a woman named Victoria who fell in love with Angell. After modification, her role no longer existed, and all her dialogue was given to Danny.
11. Nick Frost really liked the Winchester shotgun he used when shooting, and named it "Emma".
12. There are 29 dead bodies in the film.
13. When the police were about to arrest Skinner, Skinner was wearing leather gloves, and in the footage taken from behind him, the leather gloves were missing.
14. The headrest style of the light blue Jaguar XK Convertible driven by Skinner is inconsistent.
