“And He Invented the Mobile Disco” (Shaun of the Dead)

In 2004, director Edgar Wright made a huge impression with his comedy film Shaun of the Dead. The terrific movie combined lots of well-crafted visual jokes with an inventive cast responsible for creating some of the movie’s best lines on the spot. That includes the hilarious, “and he invented the mobile disco,” spoken at the Winchester pub scene.

The success of Shaun of the Dead may help to explain why Wright decided to collaborate with actors Simon Pegg and Nick Frost in most of his movies. Their improvisational skills and on-screen chemistry are a big part of what makes the director’s movies so funny.
