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.
