Are the meanings to the colors really ever stated?
This article has been edited again to add explanations of the colors of the Cornettos (after I slyly removed one of them in my last edit). The only problem with this is that from the sources I can see, Pegg and Wright never state what the colors mean, and in fact the idea that the colors represent anything other than these 3 movies themselves is only backed up by the reference to the Three Colors series where the 3 colors do signify ideals. Can someone please find a reference where Pegg and Wright actually indicate that the red in the first represents blood or the blue in the second represents the service? Without this, I would have to say that stating the meaning of the colors is just speculation and shouldn't be stated as fact. In fact, I don't even see a statement attributed to Pegg or Wright that says even that the Three Colors link is fact, without this we aren't even sure the colors even have meanings.

They state the colors for Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz in each movie's commentary track, but I'm not sure where the World's End green came from. Irish Techno Zombie {talk) 00:03, May 31, 2009 (UTC)
From what I've heard, they've not yet confirmed what the "green" means. In fact, the citation article even states that it "might be" a sci-fi movie, but doesn't mention aliens at all. obsessical (talk) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 157.166.175.129 (talk) 15:43, 10 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
it doesn't need to be from someone involved with the movie to say it, any published source would work. looking at the citation for the third movie, I found a link to an article that does mention green for The World's End. as far as the meanings, I agree, adding our own interpretation is original research, no matter how obvious it is. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.156.208.3 (talk) 06:14, 10 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I created this page years ago, it got deleted and now its back! The blue colour was written in the DVDs factfile for hot fuzz and there was an interview where Edgar Wright joked that he would sell in the boxset with icecream. aliw136
People attempting to exclude "Spaced" from the list are damaging the article because they're leaving in people with only one remaining credit. Also, the fact that actors from Spaced appeared in the trilogy is relevant to the article, because the films are essentially spinoffs of that sitcom. Serendipodous09:25, 14 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Its called Three Flavours Cornetto trilogy not "Movies and tv shows by Simon Pegg. I did not leave anyone with only one credit because anyone that was not in more than one of the three movies would not be "recurring cast". There is absolutely no reason to add that info on this page, if you want to add that info so bad, just add it to the individual actors pages. Saying that the movies are essentially spin-offs is a ridiculous statement and WP:ORGfyd (talk) 09:48, 14 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Shaun of the Dead was inspired by an episode of Spaced in which Tim pretends to be playing Resident Evil in his apartment. The show has the same cast, the same producer, the same director, and the same writer. It is intimately connected with the trilogy and to say it isn't is just wilful ignorance.

Recurring cast
The recurring cast section states (as does the source used) "The twins are in it". Does anyone know what this refers to? The cast list at IMDb (link) for The Worlds End has Kelly and Stacy Franklin as the Twins, and Francesca and Charlotte Reidie as their their teenage selves, but none of them were in Shaun of the Dead[1] or Hot Fuzz[2]. Any thoughts? Swanny18 (talk) 20:44, 30 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Three Flavours Cornetto trilogy → The Three Flavours Cornetto Trilogy – Per the official title and logo of the film series, and as released on the home media collection boxsets, this page should be moved as requested due to the fact that it is a pronoun (title), and the letters "T" that aren't capitalized are not done so, in error.

Comment: Adding or removing "the" can often be controversial, and Wikipedia guidelines and policies don't say that "officialness" should determine the choice of a title. Please see WP:OFFICIALNAME. Also, for this topic I see that the logo styling puts "the" in a smaller font than the main part of the title, thus deemphasizing it. The cited source at Box Office Mojo just refers to "Three Flavours Cornetto" by itself. Both The Guardian and Entertainment Weekly just say "Cornetto trilogy" (lowercase "trilogy"). Moviefone uses "Cornetto Trilogy" as an article tag (but doesn't mention it in the article body). Time Out uses "Cornetto Trilogy". IWatchStuff and MrMovieBuff (via MetaCritic) use "Three Flavours Cornetto Trilogy" (without "The"). IGN refers to "Edgar Wright, Simon Pegg and Nick Frost's 'Three Flavours Cornetto' trilogy" (with no "the" and with the word "trilogy" outside the quote marks. There don't seem to be very many sources that discuss this topic. Many of the cited sources don't even mention the trilogy topic at all. It is probably best to open an RM discussion about this. — BarrelProof (talk) 23:31, 1 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: I'm obviously in favor of/support the move, but would like to elaborate. My argument would be that while the guidelines state official name doesn't always constitute the best name, this article should indeed reflect the studio's official name. In doing so it most accurately represents the content of the page. While there have been variations of the name by commentators and articles -- I would observe that this may be due to the respective writers not being familiar with the official title. As the studios involved have since published film series content with the name/logo on the packaging, it couldn't be more plain. These variation A.K.A. names can be referenced in the introductory paragraph (or elsewhere), but the fact that the film studios and those that own the films has made an official title, WP should reflect that. As readers see the official title and its logo, they will become more familiar with it. As they are familiar with it, it will become commonplace.

Additionally, it could be that the move that user:KJ cheetham mentioned before may have been premature. Alternatively it may have been the best option at that point in time, as perhaps the associated studios hadn't officially named the anthology film series(?). Just a thought. Patent/copyright/official logo - all seem to be the simple direction to move the article.--DisneyMetalhead (talk) 03:26, 2 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Weak oppose: Per my survey of sources above and per WP:THE, "The" is not consistently included in independent reliable sources that discuss this topic. I'm not personally one to defer to "official" sources, and even the official logo de-emphasizes its "THE" and "TRILOGY" by separating them off from the central phrase using horizontal lines and a smaller font, implying they are not part of the main title. Various sources omit one or both of those words or separate them out (e.g. using lowercase or putting "trilogy" outside of the quote marks that enclose the central three words). Most sources treat the name of the collection very informally, sometimes even using different names for it, such as "ice cream trilogy". — BarrelProof (talk) 17:52, 2 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
