It looks like the producers of the modern-classic, groundbreaking zombie comedy did not run it past anyone first.

It's likely they figured the movie fell under the fair-use exemption in U.K. copyright law. Fair use is a concept that exists in many countries -- it's basically a list of reasons that copyrighted material can be used without permission. One of those uses is parody, which is what "Shaun of the Dead" certainly is.

Dances With Wolves, on AMC
