Multiple nods to Shaun of the Dead are also made, including the fence-based short cut ("What's the matter Danny? Never taken a short cut before?"), but with a role reversal of Simon Pegg and Nick Frost, the one-worded Cornetto requests, the way Angel and Danny describe some suspicious characters on the street, a pub slot machine jingle (Oo-ah-Dracula) heard in the 'Winchester', the product advertised in the pub; in Shaun, the rifle in the Winchester was thought to be deactivated but was not while in Hot Fuzz, it was thought the sea mine was also deactivated but was not.
Also, when the massive shoot-out is taking place, Danny asks where they should go, to which Angel replies "Pub?" which is also said with the roles reversed in Shaun. In Shaun, Ed (Nick Frost) is said to have shot his sister in the foot with an air-rifle. In Hot Fuzz, Danny shoots Dr. Hatcher in the foot twice: the first time, accidentally with an air rifle; the second time, deliberately by 'surrendering' his shotgun. Most blatantly, the UK DVD - altered to show the Spanish title of Zombies Party - is briefly seen in a supermarket bargain bin, with a price sticker covering Pegg's face.
