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

biozhard The zombie references may mainly come from films in Shaun of the Dead, but as we€™ve seen, zombie games also get in on the action too. Yet if we€™re going to talk about zombie videogames, there€™s clearly one big daddy out there, and you can bet your bottom dollar it gets referenced in Shaun of the Dead. Yes, I€™m 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 I€™m sure hardcore gamers would understand.
