Also, if you watch the film once, there are lots of things that you won't get because there are punch lines in the first act, the setup to which isn't until the second act.

American audiences tend to be more expressive than British ones.
Simon Pegg
Both me and Edgar are firm believers in never underestimating or talking down to an audience, and giving an audience something to do, to give them something which is entirely up to them to enter into the film and find these hidden things and whatever.
Simon Pegg
Chris Martin's a good friend of mine. I'm actually Apple's godfather. He's an old friend and we've been mates for quite a few years now.
Simon Pegg
Doctor Who was a big part of my childhood so it was a great honour to be in it.
Simon Pegg
Every person should have their escape route planned. I think everyone has an apocalypse fantasy, what would I do in the event of the end of the world, and we just basically - me and Nick - said what would we do, where would we head?
Simon Pegg
I don't know about doing a sequel. I think you can retroactively damage a product by adding to it.
Simon Pegg
I just love listening to the laughter.
Simon Pegg
I loved playing Shaun, he's not that different from me.
Simon Pegg
I mean, yeah, I'm sure that Python and the other things have paved the way for a greater understanding of the British sense of humor, but I don't think it's all that different than the American sense of humor.
Simon Pegg
I think at its best the American sense of humor is the same as the British sense of humor at its best, which is to be wry and ironic and self deprecating.
Simon Pegg
I think that the joke and the ghost story both have a similar set up in that you kind of set something up and pay it off with a laugh or a scare.
Simon Pegg
I used to lie in bed in my flat and imagine what would happen if there was a zombie attack.
Simon Pegg
In England, we don't have any guns whatsoever.
Simon Pegg
That's what we wanted to get across in that moment, particularly when Shaun goes to the shop when he's all hung over. He doesn't notice any of the zombies around him just because he never had before, so why should he at that point?
Simon Pegg
The main jokes in this film are about big things, love and life and zombies - we all get that.
Simon Pegg
The only spoof I think is the title, which was just we thought of very early on and it kind of stuck.
Simon Pegg
The simple fact is that what you see on the screen is pretty much real.
Simon Pegg
There are a lot of visual marks that have to be hit, and lines that need to be said in a right way - so there wasn't really any improvisation on the set when it came to the bulk of the script.
Simon Pegg
There are actually quite high profile British TV star cameos in it that you probably wouldn't even notice, that the British wouldn't even notice, let alone the American audience.
