The Edgar Wright Collection: Scott Pilgrim vs. The World / Shaun of the Dead / Hot Fuzz

A must see film collection from genre-smashing director Edgar Wright. Along with 2010 hit Scott Pilgrim vs the World, you get 2 movies starring Simon Pegg that both brilliantly parody, and pay homage to, police action films (Hot Fuzz) and zombie films (Shaun of the Dead).

But everything else in his life fades to insignificance when he lays eyes on Ramona (Mary Elizabeth Winstead), his deadpan pixie dream girl. Unfortunately, Ramona has some serious baggage: seven deadly exes, and Scott must battle them all if he wants to date Ramona…
