  In 2004, "Shaun of the Dead" gave props to Day of The Dead:
•  The scene when Shaun and Liz escape from the pub basement on an elevator platform is a direct homage.  The way that Shaun drops the handbox after activating the elevator is exactly the same movement that "McDermott" used in Day.
•  The Pizza place next to the corner shop where Shaun was always walking to is called, "Bub's Pizza." Obviously, named after Day's oh-so-intelligent- zombie, Bub.
•  David's death in the Winchester is almost identical to the way Rhodes died.
"This is a great big 14 mile tombstone. With an epitaph on it that nobody gonna bother to read."

 

JOHN: He won't shoot Billy because he got no one else who knows electronics. He won't shoot
me, because I'm his ride. He probably won't shoot Frankenstein because the old doc
can talk him silly. But the rest of you? The rest of you better start worrying,
don't you know.

RICKLES: That's it, Steel! Whip it out!
STEELE: Fuckin' A! Biggest piece of meat in the cave! I don't wanna frighten the lady, though, not
with her boyfriend around.
SARAH: You're incapable of exciting me, Steel, except as an anthropologic curiosity.
STEELE: Oh, what the hell does that mean, Rickles?
RICKLES: It means you're a caveman, asshole! You're a fuckin' throwback! You've been spendin'
too much time underground! It's okay Steele, throwbacks all got big dicks!
.
STEELE: Come on, Bub! Come on, ya pus-brain bag of shit! Ya wanna learn how to shoot, Bub?
I'll teach ya how to shoot!
.
MCDERMOTT: We can lift you out to safety, please answer my call if you can hear me.
JOHN: Forget it, Billy boy. It's a dead place. Like all the others, you know. Listen. You can hear
it over the engine.
MCDERMOTT: Jesus, Mary, and Joseph.

DR. LOGAN: That's right Bub, say hello. Say hello to your Aunt Alicia. Say Hello Aunt Alicia.
BUB: ....He...ooooo....au...icia. 
.
DR. LOGAN: We don't have enough ammunition to shoot them all in the head. The time to have done
that would have been in the beginning. No, we let them overrun us. We are in the
minority now, something like 400,000 to one by my calculation.
.
MIGUEL: We're all collapsing. This whole fucking unit is collapsing. Everybody except you. I
know you're strong, all right, so what? Stronger than me, stronger than everyone, so
what? So fucking what?
.
RHODES: Steele, shoot that woman.
STEELE: Bang! You're dead!
