Film
963: The World’s End
Trivia: This
film completes what Simon Pegg and
Edgar Wright refer to as "The Blood and Ice Cream
Trilogy" consisting of Shaun of the Dead,
Hot Fuzz and 'The World's End'.
The pubs
used in the film were renamed. In Welwyn Garden City, The Cork was temporarily
The Famous Cock. The Parkway Bar was renamed The Cross Hands. The Doctors Tonic
became The Old Familiar and The Peartree was transformed into The First Post.
Nick Frost's character works for the Beckingham Davies
Knightley LLB law firm. Beckingham is Simon Pegg's real surname.
In the
scene where he beats up the Blank of the school bully, Pete (Eddie Marsan) grabs a branch off a tree and starts
repeatedly smacking him on the back, almost identically to a famous scene
performed by John Cleese in Fawlty Towers. Darren Boyd, who plays the school bully, has previously
played Cleese in the BBC comedy Holy Flying Circus
