Should we watch The World's End? SHAUN OF THE DEAD: kzbin.info/www/bejne/m3elm4WjYrCFla8 HITCHHIKER'S GUIDE: kzbin.info/www/bejne/q3OnoZxjmM-eoNU JAMES BOND Playlist: kzbin.info/aero/PLQHhQlj8i5dp_oymDpZRwVEgCMP9fUpks

[@damien-1713]

Yes. The World's End doesn't have a great reputation, but it's my favorite personal of the Cornetto trilogy. Not the funniest, but best performances and best action of the three.

[@LordVolkov]

It comes in last for me (one of them has to...), but you need to finish the trilogy regardless.

[@dbenzhuser]

You should watch it, for The Greater Good.

[@jrobwoo688]

@@Dr.Acula76 Yes! I prefer Paul over The Worlds End

[@rextside]

I feel like so many people watch / react to / review Shaun and Fuzz and The World's End is somehow the overlooked forgotten one. The World's End is excellent and might actually be my favorite of the three, I would very much like to watch your reaction.

[@mikedignum1868]

The original team-up was supposed to be with a female officer, but the script changed to bring in Danny and they kept the romance and changed it to a bromance. Another good Simon Pegg comedy is PAUL.

[@JW666]

Had they gone with that idea of the female officer I would have choosed either Olivia Colman (who plays Doris in the movie) or Tamsin Greig (from Black Books and she was also in Shaun of the Dead) for that role.

[@blakerh]

Paul sucks

[@rexmundi2986]

Yeah, Paul is awesome, not technically part of the trilogy, but great nonetheless. Definitely worth a watch.

[@Wraiven22]

I would’ve chosen Rosamund Pike. Legendary actress and they had her in The World’s End. I’m glad they went with the bromance though.

[@Kragar01]

@@JW666Better choice would have been Jessica Hynes (Stevenson) who do wrote and starred with Pegg in their original series “Spaced” would have been a great reunion. Spaced started it all before the Cornetto trilogy.

[@davidwhitehead4985]

The Santa was played by Lord of the Rings director Peter Jackson and Nick's girlfriend was played by Cate Blanchet.

[@boarder6246]

I think it’s the best Peter Jackson Cameo!

[@galpeleg143]

and the trolly boy but GoT The Hound :)

[@Ayy_Doll_Fiddler]

No wonder the voice sounds familiar.

[@TheDylls]

I never realised Jackson was Santa!!

[@allanalogmusicat78rpm]

Edgar Wright is the convenience store clerk, near the end!

[@cartoonerystudios]

Hopefully someone has mentioned this, but Simon Pegg and Nick Frost are best friends and used to be flatmates before they succeeded on a TV show called "Spaced", also directed by Edgar Wright.

[@Kragar01]

Spaced does not get enough love,

[@jambulance]

Spaced had me laughing almost harder than the movies, that show destroyed me.

[@nevrogers8198]

Filmed near me in N London. The current inhabitants of the house get constant attention from fanboys (and girls) checking out where it all happened. Apart from a cameo in Shaun of the Dead, Jessica Stephenson (now Hynes) has had a separate career arc since, which is a shame cos she and Pegg were great together too. Nobody is reacting to it online yet but fairly sure it would quickly gather attention. Essential part of late 90s culture.

[@nathanadler8316]

Weighing in with another upvote for Spaced.

[@benabel7326]

it's a shame no First Watch posters have ever done Spaced.

[@reverance_pavane]

All the actors playing the villagers of the hidden council were once quite famous for secret agent and detective roles in the distant past. Another clue as to something that was going on. There was a impressive amount of callbacks in the film, all of which were used. making it well worth watching again to spot the them. The acting instructions for Timothy Dalton was literally "ham it up and be as suspicious as possible." I think this is a masterpiece of editing by Edgar Wright.

[@Docktavion]

I came to say the same thing. So many through away lines and messages on boards/posters etc. always worth a second/third etc. watch to pick them all up.

[@allanalogmusicat78rpm]

The vicar was Belloq in RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK.

[@Turalcar]

It's not that easy being a British actor of their age without playing a spy at some point

[@pepsiman990]

I LOVE that Angel came up with a completely plausible motive for all the murders and the real reasons are he was a bad actor, she had an annoying laugh, his house was ugly etc. Oh! And YES absolutely watch At Worlds End.

[@brianbanville781]

The one with the annoying laugh was an even worse actor.

[@orvillewright122]

The phrase “By the power of Grayskull” is from a 1980s action fantasy cartoon series called HE-MAN and the Masters of the Universe.

[@AndrewGivens]

Which is, upon rewatching, surprisingly funny and enjoyable. Fun villains too, Trap-Jaw being my personal favourite. Also, *rotoscoping* ! A really neat old-school animation technique, used plenty in the stock shots of running characters in the show.

[@VulcanDeathGrip44]

Two nominations for movies with Timothy Dalton: Flash Gordon and the Rocketeer.

[@theaikidoka]

Both achingly cheesy and campy, but enormous fun - real 'just let the nonsense engulf you' movies.

[@hulkslayer626]

YES!!! The Rocketeer!! He was great in that!

[@warpath1911]

Another vote for the ROCKETEER!

[@NZBigfoot]

Make that 3 votes for Rocketeer... virtually never reacted too, and its a great 'comic book' movie done way before the genre got popular and good.

[@MrDanteMason]

Still another vote for The Rocketeer.

[@vodrake]

The reaction when Timothy Dalton showed up was amazing!

[@Enthymene]

He's an absolute treasure in this movie. And in general.

[@waterbeauty85]

Timothy Dalton with the church steeple through his jaw and mouth saying "I'm going to need some ice cream" made me laugh and low key go "awww." I'm twisted.

[@jduncanandroid]

I love the juxtaposition of Simon's character in Shaun of the Dead being completely unserious at first but becoming more serious by the end and this film, where it's the exact opposite.

[@Dirkus17]

My two favourite jokes. 1: "Every year" and 2: the police hierarchy casting joke.

[@reallivebluescat]

3. "He's NOT Judge Judy and executioner!"

[@Dirkus17]

@@reallivebluescat Yes. Fair play.

[@JustSomeDudee]

I think the “LESLIE TILLER WAS F***ING MURDERED!!!” scene and the joke with Danny predicting the whole final act are up there too.

[@aaronhusk]

The reverend was in “Raiders of the Lost Ark” , he was Belloq, the French archeologist

[@doyle8711]

Oh wow! I've seen both of these films many times and never realised this. Thankyou.

[@christhompson2006]

Alfred Molina. He also had an important role in a great little film called Chocolat, I highly recommend it.

[@OneThousandHomoDJs]

The Cornetto Trilogy should be viewed in its entirety. All equally good, different vibes & themes & performances & great quotes. What's not to love? These guys are brilliant.

[@rextable2000]

"By the power of Greyskull" = He-Man quote

[@aaronjohnson8786]

Hot Fuzz is quite possibly my favorite film of all time, so I've researched tons of BTS materials and trivia, and the most important tidbit of information I have about this film is that it "only" cost about $12 million to make. This film shows the importance of writing in filmmaking. While the actual filming took only 4 weeks to complete, the screenplay took 18 months.

[@Yora21]

This is really one of the few 10/10 movies.

[@mattjones7226]

​@@Yora21I concur.

[@JustWasted3HoursHere]

Wow, 18 months? That's impressive. This shows that writing really is about re-writing, getting it fine-tuned and running on all cylinders and this one doesn't miss a beat.

[@pezdispencer113]

I love that when they were writing the character for Skinner they were thinking of a Timothy Dalton-esque character, then someone asked "why not just ask Timothy Dalton to play him?". Obviously he said yes lol.

[@alexandremainville5139]

Another great movie directed by Edgar Wright is Scott Pilgrim vs The World. I highly recommend! I never saw it, but Timothy Dalton is playing a villain in The Rocketeer.

[@im-gi2pg]

He’s very funny in the rocketeer!

Dalton is also in Flash Gordon (1980). There are at least a dozen more reasons to watch that awesome movie :)

[@Hum0ng0us]

Timothy Dalton and his mustache are in Flash Gordon. Highly recommend.

[@davidhuggan6315]

Agreed!

[@Commandasaurus]

Timothy Dalton is also AWESOME in the TV-Show "Penny Dreadful" (a stunning gothic horror story in 3 seasons). He seems to age like fine wine :D

He’s super funny as Volkoff in Chuck!!!!!!!!! He’s in love with Linda Hamilton.

[@kirstygunn9149]

He also played a brilliant regeneration of Rassilon in Doctor who opposit David Tennant

[@Gnomojo]

I don’t understand how Jen doesn’t have like half a million followers. She’s a head above most reactors with her enthusiasm. Also she catches the inside jokes faster than anyone I’ve watched. You’re great thank you for doing what you do.

[@jenmurrayxo]

In the UK, regular police constables don’t normally carry guns. If there is an incident that requires firearms, then the Authorised Firearms Officers (AFO) will respond. At the beginning of the film, the narrator mentioned that Nicholas had formerly been on the Armed Response Unit. So, he was highly skilled with guns.

[@stvdagger8074]

Have you noticed that everyone in the town has a last name that is a job? For Example: Skinner, Thatcher, Mower, Fisher, Carter, Porter, Messenger, Blower,

[@fayesouthall6604]

Ahhh

[@garethhackney4814]

You should definatly watch the third one. It's a lot more "you'll love it or hate it" but it's worth watching to complete the series and really appreciate the range of Pegg and Frost. Such an amazing duo.

[@davidhuggan6315]

the third one reminds me so much of me and my mates back in England.

[@msmrsro]

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve said “nobody tells me nothin’ “and chuckle to myself inside, as no one gets my reference.

[@TheRealAhoy]

This might actually be my favourite movie. It just makes me so happy. Everybody sleeps on this, I think Jen you should be the coolest reactor on KZbin and eventually watch series 1 and 2 of Spaced, it's this whole crew before they did movies. It's only 14 episodes but it's a breeze to get through and you'll have some damn feelings too. Nobody ever reacts to it and it's just so damn wholesome (and of course, really funny) it makes me sad nobody does. I trust you Jen, don't ignore me 😭

[@BenChanNYC]

If you want more Timothy Dalton, I recommend "The Rocketeer." It's a fun adventure movie and Dalton has a sizable role.

[@roonilwazlib9877]

Yes! I loved it growing up, and Dalton plays his role so well.

[@jasonbeatty831]

Absolutely fantastic picture.

[@defunctus408]

Also starring Jennifer Connelly (Penny from Top Gun: Maverick).

[@MrRjhyt]

Yup, even more debonair, and dashing.... A Hollywood legend.

[@Enthymene]

It's perfect for Jen too, because there's a sly reference or two to Dalton's Bond turns, and some much older stuff (the films of Rondo Hatton, Commando Cody, etc.)

[@originalbadboy32]

When Angel first turns up at the hotel and the lady says 'but you've always been here' is a reference to The Shining.

When Nicholas falls into the catacombs where all the previous murder victims are kept and they show the living statue guy still frozen with that expression on his face, THAT is some funny stuff right there.

[@jameslinham2733]

This was filmed about 15 minutes from me. The locations are in Wells, Somerset and is director Edgar Wright’s home town. A couple of my friends were extras in a few scenes and it is still amusing to see locations like the hotel, pub and supermarket get shot up. Those are all real places that I have visited many times.

[@JustSomeDudee]

That’s awesome. I’m also a Somerset local, although further from Wells.

[@mauriceedwards9588]

Yes Jenny Simon Pegg and Nick Frost are big friends in real life as for Timothy Dalton you should try The Rocketeer and Flash Gordon.

[@NThurkettle]

I love that you're willing to go further back in time than most movie reactors, so I'll recommend "The Lion in Winter," which is a wickedly-fun British movie from the late 60's about King Henry II and all his backstabbing family members scheming for power against one another at Christmas, and features the young versions of many actors you've seen on this journey of yours - including Anthony Hopkins and a *22-year-old* Timothy Dalton. The headliners are Peter O'Toole and Katharine Hepburn and you never saw two actors have more fun spitting insults at one another.

[@bryanking1428]

When Jen was watching the Dalton Bond movies, I was thinking that this would be a great follow up... so much fun seeing the reaction. Glad Jen enjoyed it! :)

[@TC_Smitty]

If no one else mentioned it, the priest was played by Paul Freeman, who portrayed Belloq in Raiders of the Lost Ark.

[@Jeflar70]

Don’t let anybody put you off watching ‘The World’s End’, Jen. Its reputation as the weakest of the trilogy is undeserved. It mightn’t be the best one but for writing and sheer clever wordplay, it’s superb. Every shot and scene pays off later in the movie and there’s a wonderful Arthurian quest theme to the whole thing. Check out the character names!

[@viridian5maureen853]

I enjoyed it more on my second watch of it.

[@daviddowsett1658]

I think "The World's End" is a grower where the other two are showers, haha. I was not that impressed with TWE, but after repeated viewing, I now like it as much as the other two. They cover Horror, Action and Sci-fi equally well.

[@msmrsro]

The front desk guy at the police station is played by Bill Bailey, a popular British comic actor. He performed beautifully on Strictly Come Dancing (British Dancing With the Stars). He’s also a talented musician.

[@CharCanuck14]

Bill was often on the British show QI.

[@rdramos13]

Beginning of movie - "I Love him! Oh I'm so happy he's in this." End of movie - "Timothy Dalton is super handsome and the worst." - Jen Murray Hi Jen🙋‍♂️ Your motions of finding out your crush is the villain, but still handsome, must've been a roller coaster ride. Also at 36:34 mark, wasn't expecting you to go full silent mode. Like in shock with emotion for like 10 full seconds. Think ya got in one wheeze. Told ya before, it's like the perfect movie! From the editing, the story, from every joke being set up in the beginning, to their punchlines at the end. Perfect. As for Timothy, just need to see The Rocketeer (1991), and Flash Gordon (1980). FG is full 80s cheese, but the entire soundtrack is done by Queen. 🤘 Thanks Jen🙋‍♂️🍾🥂🍾 Sorry for the long read.

[@dirtydan970]

This movie made me want to see Timothy Dalton play a bond villain. And yes, please complete the trilogy. But I truly hope you'd consider Paul as well! Great movie with these 2, personally my favorite of the 2 of them.

[@LordVolkov]

"He looks horrified!" Simon Pegg is all of us who have seen Baz Luhrman's Romeo + Juliet. Lucy Punch's Juliet is hilarious though. BANG!

There was plenty of gruesomeness in this film, but the spike from the tower falling on that guy is on another level. 😯🤣

Stuart Wilson, who played the doctor, also played the villain in Lethal Weapon 3.

[@TimothySmiths]

So much of the style of filming for this and Shaun is done in the series Spaced , which was made before these films, it is a great series that is a must watch. The cameos by Peter Jackson and Cate Blanchett are funny because they are hidden in costume but let's not forget Olivia Colman who plays an officer in the film but is an oscar winner since her time on this film.

[@alexspindler1]

Another great Timothy Dalton movie is Flash Gordon, but it's a trip that some love and some don't love. So glad you enjoyed this movie and your newfound background in action movies prepared you well. You'll likely enjoy a rewatch after you see Point Break and Bad Boys 1 and 2 (which you should!). It took me a bit to come around on this one but I now love it equally to Shawn of the Dead. You should see the third as well, although I haven't yet decided if I love it.

[@edfrancis66]

Bring on the Blue Furry! Knew you'd love this -- incredible script, brilliant actors, and Edgar Wright's awesome transitions! My favourite of the Cornettos, and a movie that holds up whether you prefer action or comedy. AND of course, Timothy Dalton at his hammiest. What's not to love!

[@zmarko]

**Timoth Dalton is in the scene** Clean-up, aisle Jen! 🤣 🤣

[@CxOrillion]

Basically every single scene in this movie is forshadowing, setup, or payoff, or a gag in their own right. A lot of English names are based on old jobs. Smith and Cooperare the famous ones. But Cartwright is a name derived from the wagon making profession. So is Wainwright. So the Andys have a last name with the same meaning as well.

[@migiplayz91]

I just wanted to see you melt to the view of Timothy Dalton. Glad you didn't disappoint.

[@NimpanZ]

"by the power of grayskull, I HAVE THE POWER!!!" - He-man. Hugely popular 80s action figure, spawned a successful cartoon series off the back of huge toy sales called He-man and the masters of the universe. Made into a movie called masters of the universe starring Dolph Lundgren.

Priest in "Hot Fuzz" was Belloch in "Raiders of the Lost Ark." The Innkeepers wife was Billie Whitelaw, who was Mrs. Baylock in "The Omen".

I always find it hilarious that the Romeo & Juliet they perform is specifically based on the Baz Lehrman movie version with Leonardo Dicaprio and Claire Daines and that the Hound from Game of Thrones says "Yarp".

[@hogandromgool2062]

From google: Nick Frost is Simon Pegg's best friend and they used to be flatmates. Wasn't an actor prior to playing "Mike Watt" in Spaced (1999) - he was working as a waiter. Quid is slang for pounds.

[@davidclough3951]

Dalton played a good Prince Baron in the 80 or 81 Flash Gordon movie. And he had a good role in the Rocketeer which was released about 92, 93, or 94.

[@andromidius]

Possibly the most rewatchable movie ever made. You always notice something new each time - the attention to detail is outstanding. So much foreshadowing, inside jokes, word play, symbolism and background details.

Please please please do World’s End soon! And then Paul, which isn’t a Cornetto movie but it is till a Pegg & Frost team up! As for Hot Fuzz, some say it’s a fictional film, but at heart it is a chillingly accurate documentary about cutthroat small-town country life in the UK! The only thing that wasn’t true to life was that the swan they’re chasing was a mute swan, and they don’t make any noises apart from sort of wheezy cough sounds. Other than that, 100% accurate. And the cast… oh boy! The village is absolutely stacked with actors from action movies, police dramas and crime films! You’ve got James Bond, the Equaliser, the lead in The Wicker Man, the villains from Raiders of the Lost Ark and Lethal Weapon 2, the mum from the Krays, the Hound, any number of British comedy actors and two Oscar winners! And it was all for the greater good. The greater good.

“By the power of Greyskull” is a reference to the 80’s cartoon “He-man”

[@SwordmasterKane]

"I wonder what Janine looks like." Well... she looks like Cate Blanchett. One of many strange cameos in this movie. Like: the Santa at the beginning with the knife was played by Peter Jackson, the director of "Lord of the Rings". On my list of Timothy Dalton movies worth checking out, I would say "Flash Gordon" from 1980 and "The Rocketeer". Well, this "Point Break" reference is an iconic moment, but I would hardly call it a spoiler. Also it is pretty hard to avoid it in this movie, since it plays a key role in some scenes. The music during the scene with the weapon arsenal was actually the trailer music to all "Lethal Weapon" films. P. S. Yes, you should definitely watch "The World's End"!

[@kirstygunn9149]

I love that all the older actors are either ex action movie actors or have been action/ gritty stars in their own movies or tv shows. Eg the vicker was Ivan ooze in the power ragers movie , Edward Woodward ( CCTV man / sea mine victim)was the original Equalizer in the 80's and was the lead in the original Wicker man ( nick cage played him in the crazy remake) and he actually says the same lines in his last scene as he did at the end of the wicker man. Also the big city cop going to a sleepy village full of strange people is a similar story line to hot fuzz.

[@killianlpc]

Just a brilliant film from start to finish with a superb cast. Painfully funny scenes the showdown in the town when Angel returns is hilarious, a send up of Point Break and Bad Boys, and about every action film ever made. Just brilliant!

[@arkigabor]

This is my fav from the Cornetto trilogy for sure. The more I watch it the more I like it. At World's End gets a yarp from me, but it is weaker one, so you might want to lower your expectations. But still has its moments. Besides that, I would recommend another Pegg/Frost movie that almost ended up being the third installment, but Wright couldn't direct it because he was working on Scott Pilgrim. It is the movie Paul (2011), an homage to Spielberg and sci-fi in general. For more Dalton I can only join to the crowd recommending Rocketeer (1991). He is only a supporting actor but plays a dashing charmer.

[@Kasino80]

Fun fact: the actor playing the doctor in Sandford, played the villain in Leathal Weapon 3.

[@JakkFrost1]

"By The Power Of Grayskull" is a "He-man And The Masters Of The Universe" cartoon reference.

[@RustyDust101]

Every single line and every scene in this movie is foreshadowing. If you rewatch it with the intention of looking out for that you'll still miss a good few as you'll be dragged into the hilarious story again. Yepp, the scenes are really over the top gruesome.

[@jean-paulaudette9246]

One of my all-time favorite films has Timothy Dalton as part of a legendary ensemble cast: "The Lion In Winter". While it takes place at Christmastime, there is a distinct lack of comfort and joy.

The greater good. Yarp to a World's End reaction, & Spaced, Scott Pilgrim & Baby Driver. Edgar Wright is the best at those transitions.

[@JustWasted3HoursHere]

I've seen this movie at least a dozen times and I always laugh throughout. When Danny says, "Jog on!" and gives them a raspberry for some reason always gets a big laugh out of me. I haven't seen a Simon Pegg / Nick Frost movie* that I haven't loved yet. * They also did a Tv show together years ago called "Spaced" from 1999-2001.

the making of is available on youtube, and Paddy Considine (1 of the Andies) does the interview in character. Timothy Dalton has said this was his favorite role to do out of all the movies he's done because everyone was a genuine fan of eachother's work.

The DVD of this film (yep, I bought the whole trilogy) has a "pop up" function, wherein text appears at the bottom of the screen, indicating the insane number of references and Easter eggs in the film...there are, literally, dozens of them. e.g.: A local couple are reported as giving birth to twins, named Roger and Martin, the two names of Danny Glover and Mel Gibson in the Lethal Weapon series...

loved your reaction to this modern classic. 1980 Flash Gordon also has Timothy Dalton. Cheers.

Yeah, it's actually totally safe to smack one of those sea mines. Just dont hit the pointy bits. The spikes are the fuses and are lead so easily deformed since it's a soft metal. If you hit the shell you're safe. If you deform a spike you have only a few seconds until the acid does it's work and BOOM.

"Drink to their demise" always cracks me up.

Of all the films I've come across on TV, this one is the best of the best. The most awesome movies do come to you when you least expect.

In 2003, on my only visit ever to England, I stayed in a BnB in a little town called Wells, in Somerset. It has an artesian well (hence the name) in the center of the town, thanks to its position at the southern edge of the Mendip Hills, one of the classic cave areas of Britain, and the reason for my visit to the town. It means that the street gutters are continually washed clean by sparkling fresh clear groundwater, a remarkable thing. When Hot Fuzz came out, I remember looking at it and thinking that the town looked very much like Wells, where I'd stayed. I dismissed the thought, remembering how many little towns here in Kentucky look exactly the same as each other, even after I'd visited a hundred of them twice, where this was England.... what did I know about how similar their towns looked, having only seen a half dozen of them up close? Imagine my pleased surprise when I looked up trivia for Hot Fuzz... and discovered that it was, indeed, filmed in Wells! What are the odds?

Another fun fact: when Danny calls Angel to tell about Blower and Draper being decapitated he says "de-kaffanated" which is what Murtaugh says after he kills Arjen Rudd at the shipyard in LW2.

The sheer number of references in this film is staggering. You can watch this film every few years and pick up a few more with each go around. From loads of callback ones within the film itself (such as the Fascist/Hag crossword near the start to the Fascist/Hag confrontation near the end) to cameos (see if you can find Cate Blanchett and Peter Jackson) to ones that are a bit obscure (such as Stanford being the name of a fictional town used to train officers in urban combat). And all for The Greater Good.
