The Cars in The Worlds End Give Away the Twist (Films You Can Watch Over and Over Again)

For anyone who's seen the famous cornetto trilogy, we know Edgar Wright likes to fill his films with funny gags and hidden gems, but who'd have thought he'd give away the twist ending.

wow that point was not worth sitting through five minutes of bullshit then looking at the article in the description

[@Frosty-kz4om]

The World's End was filmed in my home town. One of the pubs (That actually is a pub) has a massive framed poster of the movie.

[@starbucktargaryen473]

Frosty4427 what town I must attend

[@matthewmccloskey9525]

What pub (in the films name)

[@TelenTerror]

That's not ruining the twist, that's foreshadowing done right!

[@CyberChamp]

If you know the foreshadowing before the reveal, it is ruined

[@jaydeleon8094]

TelenTerror .....foreshadowing ruins the twists of you can figure it out.

[@x_tye_x]

@@CyberChamp The point of foreshadowing is to allow the audience to guess at the twist. The twist should be guessable to some degree, otherwise it's not a twist, it's bullshit

[@residualwaste5038]

It was done pretty good in burn after reading as well with Brad Pitt's character

[@greentaigo2552]

@@jaydeleon8094 all twists are to some degree noticable by foreshadowing because without foreshadowing the twist is just badly set up. Wright always seems to like to play games with stuffing as much foreshadowing in as possible while its still unnoticable to the average viewer and thats what sets him apart from so many others that make it too obvious with a single plot elemebt

[@johngleue]

I like how the movie symbolically explains that some friends, when getting older, just drift apart and become blanks that you don't really know anymore. But some stick with you until the worlds end.

[@JamoboBorg]

My friend group decided that, instead of shortening pre-drinks to just pres, we would elongate it into preliminary beverages

Wouldn't a pre-drink be that little bit of air you suck in before holding your breath and taking a drink?

[@cmdrtransrights9015]

I really love that in the King's Head bar, Gary King gets put on a table, and his unconscious head leans over the edge. And under his head there's a metallic basket. I find that level of details in Edgar Wright movies just so amazing, I've watched them so many times!

[@TheKoriKasai]

I love the line from the movie where one of them says it's more badass to go into bar full of buff tattooed men and order a glass of water. And at the end, that's exactly what happens

I was once driving my mom to the airport. We were making great time, so my mom spoke up, "I think I'll go to the bar before my flight and get railed." I had to ask her to never use that phrase for getting drunk ever again, then subsequently explain why I didn't want her to do so because she didn't quite get it. She no longer uses "getting railed".

[@forthexp8649]

My favorite tiny detail in The World's End has to be how Wright explains Sam coming back to save Gary, Andy, and Steven: "You came back to save us!" "Yes! Uh...no, i got lost on the ring road" *uh-hyuk* Which is a callback to when Oliver first calls Sam: "Get lost on the ring road again?"

[@tdp2612]

[@deadlyrhymegaming]

Hearing the phrase “sesh” is hilarious to me as an American sophomore that used that phrase all through freshman year😂😂

[@Triattt]

British have so many eufemisms for "getting pissed" they actually forget getting "pissed" is one. Wouldn't be surprised if "drunk" would only show up as the past participle of drink.

[@skrtreynolds]

kabob 007 getting cunted is an absolute legend

[@therealsulaco]

9:00 That interpretation is fine but the switch is just a happy accident. It is a real feature in the house where they filmed and no one, Edgar Wright included, had any clue why it was there.

[@bobboy61]

Probably the furnace on/off switch

[@chrislock6623]

Micheal Cera said in the directors commentary that he he thinks it symbolises Ramona being just out of reach

[@ShotVertically]

ive always felt like people always look to far into the meanings of everything in movies. to the point where they come up with things the director didnt even think of, and the director just goes yeah we ment to do that.

[@NerdOracle]

9:27, for those that would prefer to get to the point or just watch it through, your choice

[@kingomingo9424]

My favourite detail is when Oliver goes into the toilet in the trusty servant he comes out with signal in his ear piece whereas when he goes in he has no signal

[@Kelko-Zamba]

His tattoo reacting with the green/blue screen it actually my favorite part on this video

[@Dylan-wh6qp]

I love that when he takes a sip at 6:20 he looks at it like he’s thinking this tastes shite

[@Azrael_Equinox]

6:22 the face of pain.

[@owlgoddess8534]

there’s another detail about cars that i really like, which is that when gary reveals the beast he says that he replaced almost every part of the car but says it’s still basically the same. i initially was just like haha ship of theseus but then later it occurred to me. that’s exactly what the blanks are. this movie is SO FUCKING CLEVER

[@egg.eggwithegg]

I wish they would have called Shaun of the dead “you’ve got red on you” cuz they say it so much 😂

[@Yojimbothewookie]

The light switch in Scott Pilgrim wasn't intentional, the director and the crew were equally perplexed by it.

I could watch Zombieland every day and I’m so happy We get to see Doubletap in my life time

So, apparently, in Scott Pilgrim, that light switch was actually up there. It wasn't a prop, the house they used to shoot that scene just happened to have a weirdly place light switch.

"Another One" -Dj Khaled

[@piercebuckley7699]

Something I noticed is that after Gary pulls up in the beast, Andy points out he’s late and that it’s almost 4:00. Moments later, right after Gary says “Then let’s get this antique on the road show”, the camera shows a close up of each of the other 4 members of the gang, with 1 bell toll for each one, as it just turned 4:00. Some nice attention to detail with a dash of comedic effect.

[@cloakedfigures1368]

"Getting sloshed" is definetly one of my favorites but im gonna have to use getting annihilated

[@jacobmcclenny1602]

The blue & green in World's End is actually an example of Edgar Wright using color theory to help make certain characters more identifiable And upon several watches of SPvsTW I initially thought the same that it showed just how unable he is & how just out of reach she is even though you can see her right there. However, if you listen to the commentary they do actually talk about the light switch just actually being in this house that they shot in. The light switch isn't planned, but we're so used to everything having meaning that we can give it it's own

[@danklord4315]

You forgot Is this the same beast? Yeah same beast. Just had to change suspension, seats, headlights, engine, etc. It literally foreshadows how on the outside the blanks look the same but inside they’re different.

[@Dingomush]

Talking movies you can watch over and over again, mine is: “Last Man Standing” w/Bruce Willis. It’s a shot for shot remake of the Clint Eastwood western “A Fist Full of Dollars”, but set in the 1930’s with Bruce ripping through the bad guys with a pair of Colt 1911’s instead of six shooters.

[@itszyggi]

Nisha quoting the “Glenn Coco candy cane” bit from “Mean Girls” will hafta be my new ringtone..because that just made my day.

[@ew6483]

The description of their first pub crawl that Gary King gives at the beginning (when they’re young) also describes the plot of the film. It says when certain characters are going to turn up/disappear, it describes the ending. Quality.

[@samuelbarber6177]

One film I can watch over and over again has to be The Great Escape (1963). It’s one of my favourite movies and there’s so many good scenes, especially in the third act. Also Tarantino movies, Reservoir Dogs (1992), Inglorious Basterds (2009) and Once Upon A Time… In Hollywood (2019).

[@borkabrak]

One of my favorite ways to describe being way too drunk is also particularly British, I think: "stotius". I've no idea how it's actually spelled, and no idea where it comes from. But I love it.

[@DallasHustla2000]

It's so true that every time you watch this movie you can spot something you didn't notice before. Like I got that Gary's last name was King and he says at the end I'm The King. But never noticed the other group members were named after royal positions except for one. Peter last name was Page and he was the first to become a blank. Blank Page
