*The World's End* A PERFECT ENDING??? (First Time Watching) The Cornetto Trilogy 

*This movie is practically a PSA for if anyone has friends who might be suicidal on what to look out for* It can be a fairly common thing, when someone decides to take their life, to experience giddiness and want to re-live the glory days with their friends or family one last time. They know they wont living much longer- so they go all out. Realising that Gary was wearing the bandages on his wrists because he'd already attempted, and that was why he didn't want to show his arms and could quote the lines he'd been fed in therapy was such a sucker punch to the heart. When you rewatch the film you realise the room he is in is not his own, it's a hospital/facility where he must have been admitted after that attempt. Only Edgar Wright would make a crazy, hilarious movie about aliens taking over the world have so many layers and serious undertones that only make the film better with each rewatch. Truly my favourite director.

I love that every pub name is pertinent to what happens there. The First Post is where they begin The Old Familiar looks exactly the same as the first, and is thus familiar The Famous Cock is Gary, being recognised by the barman The Cross Hands is a reference to the robots signature attack with their hands The Good Companions sees the guys decide to work together to carry on the pub crawl The Trusty Servant is the Reverend Green, working for the robots The Two-Headed Dog is a rather brutal way of describing the twins The Mermaid is where the guys are seduced by the siren-like marmalade sandwich The Beehive reveals the robots ultimate plan to assimilate humanity into its collective The King's Head is where Gary finally loses it and confesses that the pub crawl is all he's got left The Hole in the Wall now literally has a hole in the wall after the car smashes into it And the World's End is, well, obvious.

Another fun fact of the Cornetto trilogy is in 1. Shaun of the Dead the cornetto colour is Red for all the blood and gore because Zombies 2. Hot Fuzz the cornetto is Blue simply because of the police theme And lastly 3. At Worlds End the cornett is coloured Green because of Alien/Si-fi theme

The 'closure' actually meant Gary would kill himself after reached The World's End. That was his plan. Doing the Golden Mile was the best thing that has ever happened to him, so he wanted to relive that experience one last time. This movie was kinda dark, because they're dealing with mental health issue. Gary was clearly depressed and suicidal.

Fun fact:In an interview which came out last year(or in 2020), Simon Pegg said that of all the characters he played, Gary King is his favorite

I love this one, really underrated. Also, Simon Pegg's outfit in this is fantastic.

There is kind of a Cornetto prequel with the gang in it the tv series "Spaced" which is what they did before these movies and it is just as good as the trilogy imo...

my personal fave of the trilogy, Gary is so flawed and emotionally raw. Fun Fact: in Into the spiderverse, you can see a billboard in the background of one of the shots for a fake sequel to shaun of the dead called "From Dusk till Shaun"!!

Love your reactions to these movies! Sad it's ended, but watch "Paul" not the mastermind director/writer but same actors....

This is my favorite of The Cornetto Trilogy films. Edgar Wright is always incredible, but the amount of detail that went into almost every scene of this movie is insane. So many callbacks and other references.

The surprise twists with first the alien robots and then in pub 12 that massive emotional gut punch makes this my absolute favourite of the three, and I'm so happy to see it get some well deserved love frm this channel! Stoked to see Spaced recommended as a type of prequel series to these films, yet I think esp since the fighting choreography is so appreciated we'd have to give a shoutout to Brad Allan. But yeah absolutely loved seeing this video pop up, kinda want to have a movie rewatch myself rn...

Andy has to be one of the best characters ever created.

If you're interested in "end of the world" type films, and if you haven't seen it, check out "This Is The End," which is pretty amazing.

Sidenote, I hadn't really took notice of it before but Martin Freeman has also been in every movie of the corneto trilogy and his roles slowly became bigger. Starting as a small cameo in Shaun of the dead, to being a policeman officer in Hot fuzz and finally one of the main characters in this kne

There is the theory Gary was going to commit suicide, and this was supposed to be his last night. He's in therapy in the beginning, and I think there's more, but I'd have to look it up.

I think you guys would get a huge kick out of a movie called "Frequently Asked Questions About Time Travel".

Gotta be a reaction to ‘Snatch’ now, don’t let anyone tell you it should be Lock Stock first, they are wrong 😂

OMG, I love the punk analogy especially works with the alt music soundtrack. Especially using the opening lines to Loaded by Primal Scream to describe Gary at the start. It's sampled from the 1966 film Wild Angels about a rebel biker gang. Fun fact, I guess. “Well we wanna be free, we wanna be free to do what we wanna do. We wanna be free to ride. We wanna be free to ride our machines without being hassled by the man. “And we wanna get loaded. And we wanna have a good time. And that’s what we’re gonna do.”

There is a TV show, kind of. It's called Spaced. The woman he runs into with the similar group of survivors in Shaun of the Dead is Simon's co-star from that show.

Did you guys just call Pierce Brosnan, Sean Connery?

I see some people recommend Paul. I wouldn’t. Cannot stand Seth Rogen and he’s the real lead in it.

I agree, Hot Fuzz is the best of the 3 IMO, 2nd is Shaun of the Dead, and 3rd is The Worlds End. I love your idea of a new trilogy with 3 sequels of the 3 movies. Time to start a petition and send it to Edgar Wright lol If you haven't seen it I would suggest watching Paul!

Mr Shepard is not played by Sean Connery, but Pierce Brosnan, though he also played Bond. :P

3:02 - Just a fun tidbit here in the UK.... if it's the height of summer around june time, it's often very light well into the evening. I mean we don't get 100% true night for a couple of weeks so the sky looks a funky navy rather than pitch black. That could easily be 8 or 9 pm and still be that light. Not exactly dressed for it but fuck knows with our weather. lol

Haven’t finished watching this yet, I will just wanted to comment real quick, but just wondering, did you mean Sean Connery as a comparison or literally meant it? Because that’s Pierce right there. I’m loving this video so far tho👍🏻

I have so enjoyed all of your Edgar Wright reactions!! He's my favorite director, too - his style, timing, and tight screenwriting make his stuff truly special

Huzzah! My favorite of the three. I've always liked team-up fight films, and I sure like drinking, so bingo.

I enjoy reading the reaction to this movie. Most people I know seem to regard this as the worst of the trilogy where-as online it seems to be regarded as the best. I don't know anyone who hates these movies though, so it's good to see the trilogy as a whole is the real winner :)

Love the reactions, but i can't wait for you guys to react to the movie Frequently Asked Questions About Time Travel, great movie, great comedy, a lot of fun, hope you eventually watch it here, cheers! :D

By far my favourite of the 3. I think it might be my favourite movie ever.

Simon Pegg reminds me of Johnny Depp as Jack Sparrow in this film.

Awesome final film in the Cornetto Trilogy, loved how this film was done. Pub crawl to end all pub crawls

27:04 Now that guy should play James Bond for sure.

Fun fact - some of these scenes were recorded 5 minutes away from where I live…maybe not that fun, but it’s cool for me

The is truly my favorite of the 3. Gary's character is the absolute best in so many ways. Comedy, the end of the world, & hard painful truths ✨✨ chef's kiss.

For the TV version of the Cornetto Trilogy is Spaced! Which would be a PERFECT series to react to, since I don't think I've ever seen anyone react to it.

Can you all watch the movie ATTACK THE BLOCK ? Its highly underrated and has Nick Frost in it. GREAT ACTION FUN !

Really been looking forward to you watching this one. Enjoy!

Have you guys seen Willow? If not it is a must watch ! One of the best Fantasy films of the 80s. That, Clash of the Titans, The NeverEnding Story etc. can get overshadowed sometimes when huge franchises come out (this was around the time of Star Wars) but these are god tier fantasy films you should definitely react to when you get the chance!

Sean Connery? You mean pierce Brosnan. Lmao I was like huh? Great Great reaction man yall looked like yall enjoyed this one!

I think the end when he says he's The King and charges forward with his gang it looks like a lotr return of the king reference the lights from his brobots and the way Gary charged forward with the sword looked like aragorn and the ghost army

Thanks for the video!! See you later!! Stay safe.😉

....I came out in 2013?? Oh god I feel so old

Dudes I recommend. Dead Mans Shoes 2004 a brilliant British movie starring paddy considine🔥🔥🔥

Loved all the reactions on the trilogy

This movie gave me a bunch of new songs I’d never heard before and now I listen to them more often than the songs from my childhood.

You should take a look at the film SEVERANCE its a British Comedy Horror staring Danny Dyer.

the best action comedy I've seen in the last 20 years!

Lol - "he's like 30". I remember when that was old. No these guys are all 40 something.

The end of the film reminds me why brexit happened

You guys should definitely watch the kinsman movies if you liked the action in this and haven't seen them

As another movie that takes on aliens in human suits, I would recommend The Watch. With Ben Stiller. The director is one of the Lonely Island guys too. It doesn’t have the somber and serious undertone that this movie does but I think it’s great and doesn’t get the praise it deserves.

React to KGF ♥️ I will send you 100$ if u didn't loved the movie 😪

23:52 Its so clever how he used her line to lead into a joke. By having the twins go between them to re-engage the conflict scene.

This is a Great British drink session 12 hours plus start on a morning

Okay about to go on a crazy thesis rant because something y’all said in your commentary really clicked something with me. “This is like the epic brother battle.” And it kind of is. This is the one time you had to kind of choose sides because their plans didn’t align. In Shaun of the Dead, yeah they had spats, but ultimately they were brothers and had each other’s backs until the end (even after.), in Hot fuzz they are paired not by choice. But end up becoming brothers that have a similar goal. And in this, that’s the total opposite. It’s the first time we really see then at odds with each other to a point we have to say to ourselves who we are rooting for to win. Andy just wants to go home and try to win his wife back, and live a normal happy life. While Gary is the polar opposite due to his own self destruction, and depression. And all he wants to do is get wasted. To the point of risking the worlds end pun intended. And as viewers it puts us in a very interesting position. Because we love Simon Pegg and Nick frost, both as a team and individually. So when they are at such odds it puts you in a position that you just want them to hug and make up. And that moment in the robot lair is so great cause it’s finally them working as a team. It always breaks my heart that Gary left Andy. But I think it was also a cheeky way of saying all things must come to an end. Gary saw that with his and Andy’s friendship, and how toxic it can be. And instead does it in a way where at least they aren’t in danger. As far as we know. And it was Edgar’s way of saying the cornetto trilogy must come to an end. I probably sound insane. But it hit me much harder when watching this reaction.

Many pubs have been standing for a lot longer than 30yrs here but there is a definite decline more recently. A pub in our village has been a pub for 165yrs

I always love seeing what Ninetailedbrush is drinking, lol

I keep coming back to this movie specifically more than the rest, even Paul. There’s something just so comforting to me about this movie, especially whenever I’m feeling down or depressed, plus this feels like a movie for adults more than for kids. Like you understand it more and it hits you more the older you get. And I’m only 23, but this year has been a rough one for me to say the least lol. Edgar Wright, Simon Pegg, and Nick Frost tho is a combination that I could never get enough of honestly.

If they made a fourth one it would be the cornetto quartet! Which sounds even better!

Gary, king of the humans, is living his best Sisters of Mercy video life at the end of the movie. Having been a Sisters of Mercy fan in the 1990s, I enjoyed the use of "This Corrosion."

Please, please, PLEASE check out Bulletproof 1996 movie. :)

I recommend checking out some Studio Ghibli movies. If I had to recommend only one, it would be Grave of the Fireflies, as you'd only ever want to watch it once in your lifetime.

I adore this film so much, easily my favourite of the three. Great reaction guys!

Worth mentioning that just about all the character names have importance to the roles: Gary King, Andy Knightly, Stephen Prince, Oliver Chamberlain, and Peter Page are the Round Table. Guy Shepherd was their teacher and spokesman for the Network. Reverend Green was a dealer of drugs, then becomes another mouthpiece for the Network. Too bad Basil didn't get a last name.

I'd love a review of baby driver from you guys. Don't do a reaction though. It'd be a nightmare to edit.

The most underrated film in the trilogy, gets better each time you watch it

You may want to watch Searching For A Friend For The End Of The World (2012). A very interesting film about, well, the end of the world.

Fun fact: The first head in the toilet was not CGI but an animatronic. There's a clip on youtube showing how they made it. Pretty cool stuff.

Also I feel like I should point out, that while Edgar Wright did a lot, it was differently his and Simon Pegg's thing, with the two of them writing the Trilogy that really helps elevate it, and while I still like there work after, between the Trilogy and Spaced (Along with Jessica Stevenson writing that of cause) you can tell it's the duo that really make the magic work and both need to want to work together in the same roles to make another Cornetto film if they where to make one

It's very clear that Gary was extremely unhappy and didn't have a reason to live.. no hope, no goals and no human relationships... He got stuck in the past and didn't grow as a person. The Golden Mile, picking up his old friends and reliving his past when he WAS happy, hoping to feel like that again. Ultimately it would lead nowhere and his grown up and matured friends would go back to their lives, families and lifestyles while he'd be there having to live with himself which was not pleasant for him. It's a very bittersweet first half of the movie with lots of jokes and funny situations while also seeing how Gary is teetering on the edge. Lucky for him he had to mature quickly and find a purpose in life in the latter half. Nobody saw ANY of those events coming.. Another brilliant Edgar Wright plot. Shaun of the Dead will forever be my #1. I love the buddy cop comedy of Hot Fuzz but World's End is my #2 of the Cornetto trilogy simply because the characters, esp. Gary, is a lot more complex and different than in the other two movies. Perhaps World's End and Hot Fuzz share my #2, it's difficult to pick. I did feel that the main plot in Hot Fuzz could've been better. Everything else was ace. Simon Pegg was amazing as the badass in that one.

There is always Paul, which is Pegg and Frost without Wright. It is okay, but it does lack a certain sparkle. And Attack the Block, which is Joe Cornish directing and Nick Frost in the cast, along with John Boyega.

Watch Paul! As close to a part 4 as you'll ever get!

Sean Connery? Didn't see him guys... saw Pierce Brosnan though 😜

If you haven't already, you have to watch Scott Pilgrim Vs The World, the one Edgar Wright made between this and Hot Fuzz. Also Paul, starring Simon Pegg and Nick Frost. Both are very close to being a fourth part of the trilogy.

Please please please tell me your joking when you said Sean Connery!? Because that’s Pierce Brosnan 😭😭 may I suggest you watch the James Bond films because your knowledge is shocking!!!!!!!

Have you ever seen Attack the Block? It's a very similar sense of humour, written and directed by Joe Cornish, who was one half of The Adam and Joe Show (the other half, Adam Buxton, played the journalist who got killed by the church cornice in Hot Fuzz), produced by Edgar Wright and Nick Frost and John Boyega star. It's the first film John Boyega was in too. It's one of my favourite films and it blends humour, action and Sci-Fi perfectly and also has a pretty strong social commentary.

seeing Rosemund Pike reminded me of her movie Gone Girl. It would be interesting to see you reacting to it if you haven't already.

It might be the time in my life I saw these, but I also think of these three films as a journey through life: Shaun is a young adult who is worried about making something of himself ("Hey! I've got plans for my life, I've got things i want to do!" ... "When?") Nick Angel is a young man who has made a career, but worries that this has made him isolated and unable to make connections with people ("You don't know how to switch off!") And Garry is having a mid-life crisis, wondering if he had wasted his life and wanting to recapture that time when things were simple and he was living his best life. On a similar note, SPACED works as a brilliant prequel to all of these, as Tim is just setting out in life, and that show explorers all the problems young people face, and it was my introduction to these as a young un myself. Pegg+Frost+Wright FTW! 😁

Simon and Nick did work again recently with Edgar, they did voices on his The Sparks Brothers documentary. Also Edgar does cameos in all 3 of the trilogy films.

You should check the tv show spaced which stars Simon Pegg and Nick Frost and that show is directed by Edgar Wright. They made 14 episodes. Also the movie Paul starring Simon Pegg and Nick Frost is really funny.

You guys need to watch ‘Spaced’ it’s where all this started. It also happens to be just about the best sitcom ever made.

Forgot to mention but each pub name is a clue as to what will happen there. Subtle as hell until further viewings. Commented while watching so hoping you noticed as you are usually pretty perceptive

If you love Edgar Wright you’d doubtless of heard of/watched SPACED? I’ll let you google it. One episode was the inspiration for ‘Shaun of the dead’. Simon Pegg and Nick Frost are in it and it’d genius.

For a 'prequel', 'tv series' to the cornetto trilogy, I HIGHLY recommend checking out Spaced!

- Gary King is back on the horse - wow wow, you're back on the horse? - no i mean back on the bike - what's bike? - what do you mean? - what's bike slag for? - bicycle - i'm lost - don't be - ok

Andy going though the door always gets me. So, hilarious :D

It's a shame Paul wasn't part of the trilogy then it would have been a quadrilogy of fun

Yes lads! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

This is one of the only videos of yours I couldn't get through, because you simply talked over everything so much.

I would way rather see a Pegg/Frost/Wright movie than more star wars to be honest. # 4

1:29 hey I just wrote a joke with your help "Ladies, full length reactions will be...in my pants"

I just started playing the old Fallout games, should do a Gary King build

God, when you said this came out in 2013 I felt so old despite the fact that I'm not even 30 yet, lmao. I saw this movie twice in theaters because it was so damn good and another friend of mine wanted to see it after I went with family - it's absolutely the best ending to the trilogy because of how emotional it is without being any less funny. It was great to see you guys both watch the trilogy for the first time and revisit it, it's been fun as hell. :)

Did you just call Pierce Brosnan Sean Connery? He did play Bond, but you got your Bonds mixed-up.

You guys should watch joker great film

Ahhhhh ! I love this movie I can’t explain what it means to me one of the best comedies ever and one of my fave reaction channels

Can you react next time what's my name song from the descendants

Honestly I can’t watch this film with drinking beer lol maybe i have a problem

Two very good movies followed by ... this? What happened?
