When they first get to the town, Gary says something like "Look at the colors of the town, when we're finished with it it'll be painted red." And then the next time they look at the town from that point the explosion happened and the whole town is red.
At the very beginning, when the 3 teens are sitting on the hill, it shows the look at the town. In that shot, if you look in the sky, there's what looks like a shooting star. I don't want to spoil anything, but… it's not a shooting star.
One great bit of writing is the Musketeers’ first names - everyone but Gary is introduced by a nickname (Ollie, Pete, Steve and Andy) but when they’re grown up they’re billed by their full names of Oliver, Peter, Steven and Andrew. Gary doesn’t have a name which can be formalised, showing that he can’t grow up and enter adulthood.
Did anyone else that watched the worlds end see the game machines from Shaun? In pub 3 and in the kings head they're there. Also in the beehive, there's a dartboard from Shaun as well.
The guy Oliver is selling a house to in the world's end is Andy Cartwright from Hot Fuzz and the 17 year old in the television store in Shaun of the Dead In Shaun of the Dead Ed mentions a pub named 'The King's Head' which is in The World's End The arcade game Ed plays in Shaun of the Dead is heard and seen in Hot Fuzz and Shaun of the Dead Arthur Webley [the farmer with all the guns] in Hot Fuzz is Basil in The World's End The actress who plays Mary in Shaun of the Dead is in the AA meeting in The World's End The actor who plays Steven from The World's End also plays Andy Wainwright in Hot Fuzz Martin Freeman [Oliver in The World's End] plays the MET Sergeant in Hot Fuzz Bill Nighy [Shaun's step dad in Shaun of the Dead] voices the network in The World's End and played the chief inspector in Hot Fuzz Is that enough references?
Loved it! One of very few funny comedies lol most of them simply aren't all the cinema go-ers laughed throughout :) & i love how the pub names had plot specific names, very cool ;)
I like that alot of the fighting moves are taken direktly from other movies... When watching it I often have the feeling of dejavu, like i know that fighting sequence or that move was taken from a movie and i have watched exactly that before but naming the movie is when it becomes tricky.
Always sort of thought that the scene with Andy taking his ring back was a bit of a Sisters of Mercy reference because why else put it in there but maybe not.
The title and the plot are obviously a nod to Douglas Adams and his restaurant at the end of the universe that is an actual restaurant... and it actually is at the far end of the universe... and is actually at the time the universe ends because of the correlation between space and time. So it's the same in the movie, they're going to the "World's End" pub while the world is ending...
