We Didn't Expect That! - THE WORLD'S END (2013) - First Time Watching Reaction

[@blueberryrazz8637]

At the end when Gary and Andy are fighting and the bandages on Gary's wrists and the hospital bracelet are revealed.... and the slow realization that Gary was so insistent on completing the golden mile because he intended to relive the best night of his life and then possibly end himself afterwards. Really hits hard.

I love the detail that Gary is the only one who didnt bring luggage. On first watch you think it's a clever bit of characterization since Gary would absolutely be the type not to plan ahead. After the reveal of his hospital bandages, you realize he didnt bring luggage because he didnt plan on seeing tomorrow.

[@TommyIsATwat]

You could look away for a few seconds and miss that bit with the hospital tag, it didn't hit and the dialogue wasn't pushing it either. Enjoyed the film though!

[@VelvetVoice]

I like the fact that it's a subtle reveal - they could so easily have made it overly obvious a plot point, which would have been mawkish. Granted, it could be very easily missed if you're not paying attention, but the fact it's so subtly acted makes it hit all the harder.

[@fellkell533]

Quick explanation to the pubs: 1. First Post: first stop, kinda boring 2. Old Familiar; Bar looked exactly the same as the first one. 3. The Famous Cock; First bar where someone actually recognizes Gary 4. Cross Hands; First fight scene of the movie. 5. Good Companions: The guys decide to keep up with the crawl and pretend everything is fine. 6. Trusty Servant; Gary tries to get information out of someone he still trusts, who also used to sell him drugs. 7. Two Headed Dog: Where they fight a pair of BLANK twins. Fun note: there's a pair of twins in all 3 movies 8. The Mermaid; Mermaids lure men through song, this is where 3 of the boys get all caught up with " The Marmalade Sandwich" girls 9. The Beehive; Where Brosnan explains would they want to turn humans in a hive mind. Fun note: The was a bond in 2/3 movies 10. The King's Head: Where Gary hits his head a bunch of times to prove he's still human. 11. Hole in the Wall; where a rescue car drives through the wall to save Gary. 12. The World's End; Self-explanatory.

[@hollohead4077]

Something that's missed at times is the whole metaphor of corporate takeover of small local pubs, getting them to comply and draining them of their character. This movie is poking fun at the likes of Weatherspoons and their aggressive expansion being like that of an alien takeover of earth, accepting them into the network only if they comply.

[@WithTwoFlakes]

No fan of Wetherspoons myself. But to be fair to spoons they take over some really nice buildings and do them up nicely. Suspect some of those buildings would still be empty / demolished otherwise.

Interesting note: the names of the pubs relate to what happens at the pub at the time…. Also, you can see the spaceship coming to earth in the opening of the film when younger gary king is sitting on the hill looking over the town

[@WithTwoFlakes]

The way the writing of the opening scene leads you into assuming he is at an AA meeting for his drinking. By the end of the movie,with the reveal of his bandages and hospital wrist tag, you realise it was actually a group therapy session for people at risk of ending themselves. It might be regarded as foreshadowing that Edgar Wright used the same actress who played the first undead zombie in the garden in SOTD to play the lady sat next to him in group as he tells his story. As for the drinking culture in the UK - back in the day (1970's) me and my mates started going to pubs at 13. We were all big for our age, I was already pushing 6 foot tall. Never got asked my age once. The landlords of the pubs seemed to have a "greater good" attitude I guess, or else just wanted our money. Different for kids now - many places have security on the door, ID checks etc. It was a shock on my first trip to the US going to a sports bar in Michigan with my hosts to see some Final Four b/ball and to be asked for my drivers license by the dude on the door. The guys I'm with were giggling as they knew what was coming. Just so happens that I had my UK license on me as I'd picked up my rental car earlier. Dude: "This doesn't have your photo on it." Me: "Yep. UK licenses don't have a photo." (photo licenses were introduced years later in 1998) Dude: "Where is your DOB on this thing?" Me: "UK licenses don't have date of birth on them." Dude: "Well how can I tell it's you and whether you're old enough to drink?" Me: "You can't." By now the queue at the door is getting longer and the guys I'm with were doubled up with laughter. "Just tell him how old you are" Me: "I'm 34" The doorman just gave up and waved us in...

[@Ahzpayne]

Thinking he was wearing Nick Frost's hospital ID from decades earlier was more unexpected than a town full of body snatchers. That's some straight "been talking so much I don't actually know what's happening" shit right there.

I think Oliver's wtf is a character quirk from his upbringing. Notice how he or his sister never curse until stuff starts getting wildly out of hand. Maybe they grew up in a swear free home! I love the sense of punchiness in the action in this film. It's like Edgar Wright took some of what he learned on Scott Pilgrim and applied it here.

[@philb2085]

A barney is more usually an argument but sometimes a physical fight. Comes from Cockney (London) rhyming slang for TROUBLE - Barney RUBBLE (from the Flintstones) = trouble. "We had a bit of a Barney" = We had a bit of trouble.

[@IAmHavok]

Not gone lie, the realization of what Gary was up to high key walked me off that very same ledge I was flirting with myself at the time. This trilogy became my favorite ever off of this film because of that. Gary's character is "flawed" personified and it just works especially because throughout the trilogy he's been the more level-headed of the duo. I've loved every Edgar Wright movie I've seen.

Many of the actors from Spaced are in these movies.

Funny thing is, this was almost entirely filmed in the town of Letchworth Garden City - where i happened to go to school - while some of the pubs are actual pubs (there are a LOT in close proximity), some of the places are redressed, like the train station and the cinema. Was very wierd on first viewing to see the places we ACTUALLY went drinking when we were 17/18! :D

[@BadgerOff32]

I remember when I first saw this movie, I came away from it thinking "that's one of the best sci-fi movies ever made". I still stand by that thought. It's such an underrated gem of a movie. It's so good. The cast is amazing, there's humour, drama, emotion, and you just don't see any of the twists coming AT ALL during the first viewing! And, like most Edgar Wright films. there are SO MANY hidden details you'll only notice in repeat viewings, such as....if you pay enough attention to the background....., you might notice that all of the parked cars are the exact same! They're different colours, sure, but they're all dull colours, and not only are the cars all the same make and model.....they're all hybrids!.Which cleverly mirrors what has happened to the towns inhabitants! They've all become the same, dull hybrids. The only cars that are different, are Garys and Sams. I also weirdly love that they actually followed through with the whole 'end of the world' thing at the end. So many movies seem too scared to go all the way with a plot like that, because 'our heroes' usually manage to save the day and stop it from happening. Not in this movie. I respect them for that. It also makes me want to see a 4th movie set after this film in a post-apocalypse setting!

Not true sadly. In this film the wrapper is seen blowing by a fence at the end by Nick Frost. Hence him looking really sad he hadn't eaten one. 54:04 to be precise.

[@LudusAurea]

The bathroom scene is one of the most brilliant 180s I've seen in a movie. The movie up until this point was kind of grim, just portraying a dude who peaked in high school and has spent his entire life trying to get back to that point. Almost like watching a real therapy patient until then and then bam action movie. I literally screamed out loud when the kids head hit the toilet and exploded "WHAAAT!!?!?!?!?!?!?" when I first saw this. Patty Considine is the only reason I watched House of the Dragon Season 1 and I'm a big GoT fan. Was not happy when he died. Also pretty sure he plays one of the Andy's in hot fuzz. The guy that walked by at 7:31 was Rafe Spall he was in Hot Fuzz and Shaun if I'm not mistaken, and he's been getting into a lot of Hollywood roles too. This one is a surprisingly "deep" movie portraying a man with significant psychological issues underneath a hilarious body snatchers comedy.

If the only thing you know Paddy Considine from is House of the Dragon, then you absolutely MUST give some time to his work in Shane Meadows films like Dead Man's Shoes and A Room For Romeo Brass.

It's the same age distribution as any other club night, but with girls dressed up as school girls and a certain amount of the young men dressed up as teachers.
