The trilogy consists of Shaun of the Dead ( 2004 ), Hot Fuzz ( 2007 ), and The World 's End ( 2013 ). The name originates from a `` silly joke '' during the promotion of Hot Fuzz. Wright had written in Cornetto ice cream as a hangover cure for Frost 's character in Shaun of the Dead, based on his own experiences. In Hot Fuzz, Wright included a couple of brief throwaway scenes that referred to the Cornetto joke in Shaun. On the promotional tour of Hot Fuzz during production of The World 's End, one interviewer pointed out the use of Cornetto in the first two films, and Wright jokingly said that they represent a trilogy comparable to Krzysztof Kieślowski 's Three Colours film trilogy. Wright seriously considered the three films as a trilogy, and wrote The World 's End to complete themes set out in the earlier films, adding a Cornetto reference to the film. Each film in the trilogy is connected to a specific Cornetto flavour appearing in each film. Shaun of the Dead features a strawberry - flavoured Cornetto, which signifies the film 's bloody and gory elements, Hot Fuzz includes the blue original Cornetto, to signify the police element to the film, and The World 's End features the green mint chocolate chip flavour ( though shown only by a wrapper caught in the wind ) representing `` little green men '' and science fiction. According to Wright, Wall 's, manufacturer of the Cornetto, were `` very pleased with the namecheck ''. Wright considered each of the films a `` Trojan horse '', `` genre films that have a relationship comedy smuggled inside a zombie movie, a cop movie and a sci - fi movie ''. Thematically, Wright saw each of the films containing common themes of `` the individuals in a collective (... ) about growing up and (... ) about the dangers of perpetual adolescence ''. Wright reworked the script of The World 's End to conclude on these themes. The films are further linked by a common set of actors. Wright, Park, Pegg, and Frost collaborated previously in the TV series Spaced from 1999 to 2001. Martin Freeman, Bill Nighy, Rafe Spall, Julia Deakin, Patricia Franklin, and Garth Jennings appear in each of the films as well as other projects by Wright and Pegg. Clark Collis observes in Entertainment Weekly that the films also feature `` a running gag involving garden fences ''. Contents 1 Films 1.1 Shaun of the Dead 1.2 Hot Fuzz 1.3 The World 's End 2 Recurring cast 3 Reception 3.1 Box office 3.2 Critical response 4 References 5 External links Films Shaun of the Dead The first film is Shaun of the Dead, a 2004 romantic zombie comedy film ( or `` rom - zom - com '' ). Pegg plays Shaun, a man attempting to gain focus in his life as he deals with his girlfriend, his mother and stepfather in the midst of an apocalyptic uprising of zombies. The trilogy 's Cornetto reference begins with a scene in which Shaun buys a cone for his friend Ed ( Frost ) at his request as Ed wakes up groggy and badly hung over after a night of drinking. Director Edgar Wright has said that he used to use Cornettos as a hangover cure. Hot Fuzz The second entry is Hot Fuzz, a 2007 buddy cop comedy. Pegg and Frost play police officers who investigate a series of mysterious deaths in a small English village ; Frost 's character grew up there and Pegg is an outsider. The two officers purchase Cornetto cones at a convenience store at various times, and a scrap of the wrapper falls onto the counter when Pegg 's character later makes other purchases at a motorway service station. The World 's End The third and final installment is The World 's End, a 2013 science fiction apocalyptic comedy. The film follows a group of friends, led by Pegg, reattempting an epic pub crawl during an alien occupation of their home town. In the final scene of the film, a Cornetto wrapper blows past in a breeze, briefly catching on a wire fence. Wright said in an interview for Entertainment Weekly, `` We thought it would be a funny idea to do a sci - fi film where even the people who are going to be your saviors are hammered.

Discussing The World 's End, Wright said that any actor who appeared in the first two films would also appear in the third, adding, `` We even got back Nicola Cunningham, who played Mary the zombie in Shaun of the Dead. And Mark Donovan, so the first two zombies from Shaun of the Dead are in this. The twins are in it.
