The wild comedy dialed into Edgar Wright’s unique and irreverent sense of humor, and married those jokes to a whip-smart visual style that kept jokes flying at a furious pace.
Wright would go on to perfect that approach to storytelling in movies like Hot Fuzz and The World’s End.
And in Baby Driver, he applies his style to a full-blown crime caper, with dizzying results.
In Shaun of the Dead, a slacker named Shaun (Simon Pegg) and his best mate, Ed (Nick Frost), must make their way to the neighborhood pub and rescue Shaun’s girl (Kate Ashfield) after a zombie infection breaks out in their small London town.
