In preparation in writing the script for this film, Edgar Wright and Simon Pegg read a book by film critic Roger Ebert which includes all the clichés from action movies, so they could include them all. They include: having a character wake up in a dark hotel room and flick on the light switch without having to fumble for it (Nicholas Angel does this), having a shot of the median lines on a road from a moving camera (used in the sequence when Angel is driving back to London), and a genial person-in-charge actually being the bad guy. Other clichés were taken from Interceptor (1979), Arma letale (1987), Man on Fire - Il fuoco della vendetta (2004), Bad Boys (1995) and Chinatown (1974).
