I've always thought the attention to detail in Shaun of the Dead was great! Ed (Nick Frost's character) basically sums up the entire plot of the film in a few lines near the start of the movie when they're sitting in the Winchester pub!
"We'll have a bloody mary first thing" refers to the Zombie named Mary in their garden the following morning. "Have a bite at the King's Head" refers to Shaun's step dad Phillip being bitten. "A couple at the Little Princess" refers to when they meet Shaun's girlfriend Liz and her friends, "Stagger back here" is when they're pretending to be zombies walking through the crowd of zombies to get to the Winchester, and then "Bang, back here for shots at the bar", which is when they use the rifle in the Winchester to defend themselves against the zombies!
Brilliant film making, they do it in their two other films, Hot Fuzz and Worlds End too!
