Film Quiz Friday: Blood And Ice Cream edition

How’s this for a slice of fried gold? This week’s film quiz covers Shaun Of The Dead, Hot Fuzz, and The World’s End, along with the usual mix of movie trivia and nonsense.

This week, we’ve been to the quiz shop and come back with a bunch of questions on Edgar Wright’s Cornetto trilogy, (as seen on ITV2!) as well as a host of film-related teasers in the usual “this week” and pot luck rounds. As usual, there are no prizes – this is all just a bit of fun while you have a nice cup of tea/cold pint and wait for all this to blow over.

At the bottom of this post, you’ll find a link to a separate post with the correct answers once you’ve completed all 30 questions. Please do get in touch in the comments to let us know how you did (scores are out of 35 this week!) and we’re open to any other feedback or requests for specialist rounds too! Here’s your first round…
