Edgar Wright: The Definitive Guide To Homages, Influences And References
The zombie references may mainly come from films in Shaun of the Dead, but as weve seen, zombie games also get in on the action too. Yet if were going to talk about zombie videogames, theres clearly one big daddy out there, and you can bet your bottom dollar it gets referenced in Shaun of the Dead. Yes, Im talking about Resident Evil, and it makes a brief appearance in film, albeit under a different name. When the soldiers finally turn up in London coincidentally just in time to save Shaun and Liz the logo on their trucks says Biohazard. Biohazard is the Japanese name for Resident Evil, a reference Im sure hardcore gamers would understand.
