- The last scene, where Shaun plays videogames with a zombified Ed in the shed and is so happy about the fact that he and Ed can still be friends.
- Made all the better when "You're My Best Friend" by Queen starts playing.
- Ed uses body language to indicate that he's sorry after being called out by Shaun for trying to bite him. Shaun forgives Ed quickly.
- How about the fact that Yvonne showed up at the Winchester with the army at the end? And it's implied she led the soldiers there because she remembered that Shaun and the others were going there and she wanted to help them.Yvonne: They're taking us someplace safe. I thought you'd want to come along.
- The part when Phillip tells Shaun that he always loved him followed by Shaun finally acknowledging Phillip as his father.
- And before that, even the moment after he is bitten in the neck by a Z-word he tells Shaun to worry about Barbara rather than worry about him. As difficult as he and Shaun's relationship has been, there's no doubt he cares about the woman he married.
- When being woken up by Shaun and Ed playing loud Electro music in the middle of the night, Pete is understandably angry and freaks out. But when Shaun tells him that they did this because he just broke up with Liz, Pete calms down and asks Shaun to "keep it down" in a sympathetic voice, setting out to go back to bed. At least until Ed calls him a prick.
- Barbara's clear love for her son, Shaun and generally being kind-hearted to everyone around her. Makes her zombification and death all the more heartbreaking...
- Her finding the flowers Shaun bought earlier and threw away earlier near the Winchester. She immediately connects 2 & 2 together and deciphers they're from Shaun.
- While misguided, Shaun and Ed trying to keep David from shooting a dying Barbara really shows how much they both cared about her, as well as Shaun's feelings on Ed's part.
- When Ed calls the zombies as such in an early scene, Shaun tells him not to say the "z-word," finding it silly, to Ed's bemusement. When David calls Barbara a zombie as he plans to shoot her, Ed firmly tells him 'not' to call her the z-word. Say what you will about him, but Ed does genuinely care for his best friend.
- Shaun and Liz's heartfelt goodbye to Ed as they're forced to leave him behind.
- The DVD extra revealling Shaun came back for Ed and despite zombified, took him back to his home where they continue to play video games together.
- Throughout the movie Dianne is refreshingly cordial towards Shaun, such as showing reluctance to keep him out of the house after Liz is breaking up with him, saying that he wouldn't just run off and abandon them, and telling David not to blame Shaun for how badly going to the Winchester turned out because it was their decision to accompany him. For his part, Shaun seems to get along with her much better than David as well, such as when he insists that he did not call her a failed actress.
- The Plot Hole Extra revealed that Dianne survived, but has since moved in with her aunt and is now on a Christmas card relationship with Shaun and Liz.
- The revelation that during shooting, Dylan Moran would go off set and return with, according to Pegg, "expensive Italian chocolates and bags of books for us all."
- When the producers asked permission from Brian May and Roger Taylor to license "Don't stop me now" and "You're my best friend" for the film they actually received a letter from them thanking them for using their music.
- Shaun telling Ed he loves Liz with no hesitation whatsoever. Given he's known Ed his whole life, he must have realized saying such a thing out loud would get him mocked at best and ignored at worst, but that doesn't matter and no zombie apocalypse will stop Shaun from being there for Liz.
