Shaun of the Dead?
This sounds like a *beep* inspired version of Shaun of the Dead.
shareBut it's not. I've been on the set as a zombie through a massive scene and there's very little if any similarity to Shaun of the Dead.
shareSame Peter, did you have as much fun as me? =) And yeah definitely doesn't seem as outright-comedy as Shaun of the Dead.
JESSIE There, now I can change my ID as often as I damn well please.
I had so much fun. I'm actually sad to not be going back there :( Did we talk? I spoke to loads of people but only grabbed a couple of names =/
Edit: Yes, we did talk. Only for most of the day :P
cool if you did work on the set then theres some pictures on this article, you might be on it? :)
I found the article and thought I'd share it :)

Had a look at the article and the photos were taken in Canary Wharf, a long, long way from where we were. However, the pub scene was a genuinely closed pub on the set we were on which is a former brewery due to (sadly) be demolished.

Why does everyone think a UK zombie film is ripping off Shawn of the Dead, a film which 'rippied off' all zombie films, you can't do too much new with the Zombie Genre. Cockneys Vs Zombies I found much better than Shawn of the Dead.

Peter Jackson's Braindead
shareCockneys vs Zombies isn't set in "that comedy style". Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz are quite unique in their sense of humour.
If you just mean a zombie comedy, then there are countless films like that:
The Evil Dead trilogy,
Braindead,
Return of the Living Dead (and its 2 sequels prior to the release of SOTD)
Re-Animator (and its 2 sequels),
Night of the Creeps,
Bio-Zombie,
not to mention how the original Dawn of the Dead is essentially a comedy (intentionally, I should add) and the list goes on and on.
Shaun of the Dead is not a spoof of Dawn of the Dead. It's a zombie film that's also a comedy that happens to be named in homage to Dawn of the Dead. At no point does it spoof Dawn of the Dead and the plots aren't parodies either.
And what do you mean "difference being its a comedy"? That's what a spoof is. How could you do a spoof of a film without the difference being that it's a comedy?

What!?
There are many similarities.
- The banker not paying attention when holding the gun and getting torn limb from limb by the zombies. (like David's death in the Winchester)
- Davey's death was very similar to Ed's.
- Impaling zombies up against the wall (like the tree in SotD)
- When they exit the old folks home reminded me a lot of the scene where they exit Shaun's mum's house.
There's a few others but honestly, I was sat there thinking these references were intentional.
