I just think the joke ratio is a lot higher and they’re all excellent jokes as well. Plus there’s tons of little moments which you can pick up on multiple viewings.
Shaun is still a great film, I just think they got better with Fuzz.
Not OP. I think that Fuzz just got more budget and looks less campy than Shaun due to that and stylistic choices, but I love both equally and I don’t think filming Shaun like Fuzz would make it better. HF packs action and SotD shines in it’s long shots when we see parts of it’s storytelling in the background, they both have different vibes and the way they are filmed and edited serves them well.
Ed Wright and their shared cast are so talented they could’ve made anything a cult classic, even an omegaverse\Twilight crossover where Simon Pegg, haphazardly tanned to look like Jacob (pre-RenEsme lock-in), struggles to find a match with a vampire omega and joins the Edward\Bella story only to steal Edward; Nick Frost serves as his werewolf bro giving the least useful advices Simon blindly follows; also it’s suburbs of London and the soundtrack is full of hair metal for some reason.
Why do you think Hot Fuzz is better? Not arguing, I love both movies! I had never thought to compare the two
Shaun of the Dead is on my “perfect films” list but I’m sure it’s at least in part because of its context in my life.

Shit, now this idea would haunt me for years.
