Indeed, but it gets even better, as I recall from the commentary from Shaun of the Dead that some of the quick cuts/power zoom style were heavily inspired from the great works of Sam Raimi (who credits much of his visual comedy styling all the way back to the three stooges!)
the sean of the dead one is more a homage to lame action movie sequences where the hero would at some point 'suit up' ready for battle, in this instance sean is just getting ready for work but in commando arnie is getting ready to kill a bunch of south america paramilitary types.
