Edgar Wright: The Definitive Guide To Homages, Influences And References

ash evil dead When Shaun holds an employee meeting at the start of the day, Rafe Spall€™s character €“ Noel €“ asks who the hell left him in charge? Being honest, it€™s a fair question €“ Shaun is completely inept and incapable of keeping his home and work-life separate. Yet apparently, it€™s because both the manager and Ash have called in sick. We can understand how the manager would be in charge, but who€™s Ash? Well, Ash is Ashley J. Williams, otherwise known as the hero of the Evil Dead trilogy and fellow discount store worker. With a chainsaw hand and ridiculous heroic abilities, he€™d be perfect for a situation such as this. However, it appears he€™s been bitten already, so all we€™re left with is a man-child and his ridiculous best mate. Hardly seems a fair trade, does it?
