* HeyItsThatGuy: While unconnected in plot, several actors return (some even from as far back as ''Series/{{Spaced}}''). Since it's pretty complicated to note every criss-crossing actor between three movies and a TV series, lists can be found on the [[Trivia/ShaunOfTheDead respective]] [[Trivia/HotFuzz trivia]] [[Trivia/TheWorldsEnd pages]].

* TypeCasting[=/=]PlayingAgainstType: In ''Film/ShaunOfTheDead'' & ''Film/HotFuzz'', Pegg played the [[StraightMan Straight(er) Man]] to Frost's AdultChild. This actually pre-dates the trilogy to ''Series/{{Spaced}}'', with Pegg & Frost maintaining the same dynamic seen in ''Film/ShaunOfTheDead'' & ''Film/HotFuzz''. ''Film/TheWorldsEnd'' switches the roles around.

Irrelevant - Paul is mentioned because it stars Pegg & Frost and can be mistaken for being part of the series because of that. Scott Pilgrim doesn\'t have that issue.


See also: ''{{Spaced}}'', an earlier collaboration by the three which shares common elements with the series. Should not be confused with ''Film/{{Paul}}'', another film written by and starring Pegg & Frost, who play a pair of Brits that pick up an alien during a RoadTrip; the movie is in no way related to the series, and has no involvement with Edgar Wright. ''Film/ScottPilgrimVsTheWorld'' was made by Edgar Wright between ''Hot Fuzz'' and ''The World's End'' but isn't part of the trilogy, either.

** The entire soundtrack in ''Film/TheWorldsEnd'', but especially the use of choral section of TheSistersOfMercy's ''This Corrosion''. The use of TheDoors cover of "Alabama Song" is used to perfection as well.
* SureWhyNot: The name, "Blood and Ice Cream" wasn't really thought up by Wright. It came about when while doing a panel, a fan couldn't help but notice the running theme of Cornetto in all the films and asked about it. Wright just shrugged and told him it was a coincidence. The fans ran with it coining the nickname and eventually Wright turned it into the official name of the series.

You may notice that there's a doubly-long gap between the releases of ''Film/HotFuzz'' and ''Film/TheWorldsEnd''. That's because this was bisected by Wright making ''Film/ScottPilgrimVsTheWorld'' in 2010.
