** If you listen carefully to the conversation between Shaun and Ed as they arrive, Ed says "You didn't tell me Barbara had a Jag! Always wanted to drive one of those." Shaun replies that it's Phillip's and he won't let anyone near it. [[ManChild Ed]] immediately volunteers to stay behind, surprising Shaun, and it's very heavily implied he purposefully wrecked their original car so they would be forced to take the Jaguar instead.

* Shaun comes out of his mom's house, only to find that Ed has somehow managed to wreck the car despite him being gone for maybe 10 minutes. They end up having to cramp themselves into Phillip's car.



* How did Shaun get away from the zombie horde after leading them away from the Winchester? He hid in a rubbish bin and waited for them to pass by before making a break for it. Too bad one zombie saw him...

* The scene where Shaun and Ed try to kill the two zombies in the yard by throwing things at their heads. First with random stuff they grabbed from the kitchen, with no luck, and then using Shaun's record collection. They actually go through the records, seeing which ones are too good to ruin by throwing them at zombies.
** Finally, Shaun gives up and just smashes through the locked garden shed, where he grabs the cricket bat he uses for most of the movie.
* The not-so-distant finale, set six months later, showing how British society quickly adapted to the zombies. The service sector uses them as cheap labor since most of them retain enough mobility for basic physical labor, a woman on a talk show talking about how she still considers herself married to her zombified husband, and the news anchor from the start of the movie being interviewed about his iconic "removing the head or destroying the brain" speech.
