1 | * ActorSharedBackground: |
2 | ** Creator/SimonPegg was a {{goth}} during his youth and, like his character, a [[Music/TheSistersOfMercy Sisters of Mercy]] fan. |
3 | ** Creator/NickFrost (Andy) was a rugby player in his youth. |
4 | * CaliforniaDoubling: Many real pubs are used as stand-ins for the film's fictional ones, with the World's End itself portrayed by [[http://www.crowncarveries.co.uk/thegardenersarmsletchworth/ the Gardener's Arms in Letchworth]] (however, other "pubs" in the film are actually a cinema, a railway station and a Thai restaurant, among others). |
5 | ** Also, the "UK's First Roundabout" in the film really is that, in Letchworth. |
6 | * CompletelyDifferentTitle: Released in France as ''Le Dernier pub avant la fin du monde'' ("The Last Pub Before the End of the World"). |
7 | * CreatorsFavoriteEpisode: Simon Pegg has said this is his favourite film in the Cornetto trilogy due to being the darkest and least audience-friendly. |
8 | * TheDanza: Greg, Seb, Luke, Tyler and Sam, (the teenagers in "The Cross Hands") and Kelly and Stacey (the twins in "The Two-Headed Dog"). |
9 | * {{Defictionalization}}: A tour [[http://www.jaunted.com/story/2013/8/16/125034/992/travel/Recreate+%27The+World%27s+End%27+Pub+Crawl+in+the+UK offers to do The Crawl]] with the pubs that were actually used in the film in Hertfordshire. There's less than 12, of course. |
10 | * DuelingMovies: With the similarly-themed ''Film/ThisIsTheEnd''. |
11 | * PlayingAgainstType: In both ''Film/ShaunOfTheDead'' and ''Film/HotFuzz'', Nick Frost plays the [[AdultChild trapped-in-his-youth]] slacker and Simon Pegg plays his more responsible {{Foil}}. In this one, they've essentially swapped roles. As well as Creator/DavidBradley, who's almost ''always'' cast as a [[DirtyOldMan lecherous]] and/or [[EvilOldFolks evil]] old bastard, plays a decidedly loopy CoolOldGuy. |
12 | * ScullyBox: Creator/SimonPegg wore lifts in his shoes because the actor playing Gary's younger self was about 2 inches taller than him. |
13 | * WhatCouldHaveBeen: |
14 | ** The original plot involved the gang travelling back in time and encountering their younger selves. |
15 | ** In the first draft, Gary King lip-synched "Batdance" from start to finish. |
16 | ** Creator/RosamundPike almost didn't make it into filming as she was pregnant when filming was meant to take place. Eventually, work was rescheduled for all of them. |
17 | * WordOfGod: [[spoiler:The Network]] is ultimately described by the creators as being benevolent, albeit in the worst possible way. |
18 | * WriteWhoYouKnow: Mr. Shepherd, who is based on Creator/EdgarWright's old drama teacher, who he cites as something of an inspiration. |
