Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaFelicity, Andy's assistant from the start of the film, is named after a young woman from Stockport, called Fliss, who tragically passed away. She was a massive Simon Pegg fan and he had sent her signed pictures at the request of her dad when she was ill. She passed before she could receive them. When Simon Pegg found out, he wrote the character into the movie in her memory.
- GoofsWhen Gary crosses off the 10th pub on the map, the figure of the "modern art" statue can be seen on the map just below the second and third pubs. But since this is the same map he used for the original crawl before The Network arrived, and since the statue is apparently part of The Network, it should not appear on the map. It is also apparent that the statue was not there at the time of the original Golden Mile since they wonder about what it is when they pass it earlier in the night.
- Quotes
Oliver Chamberlain: WTF, Gary. WTF.
Gary King: What the fuck does WTF mean?
Peter Page: [getting out the cubicle] What the fuck?
Gary King: Ooohh yeah!
- Crazy creditsPeople going to see the film at the Broadway Cinema in Letchworth, the location for the outside of The Mermaid, were shown a short clip beforehand featuring Simon Pegg, Edgar Wright and Nick Frost, welcoming them to the cinema and hoping they enjoyed watching it from inside one of the filming locations.

Featured review
The hate this movie gets is starting to get on my nerves real bad
First off, I'm not going to hold everybody against the wall with a gun at their genitals, asking them to please like this movie or I shoot their freaking balls off. I'm not that that kind of person (and who is anyways). But I want to clear something up here, because I'm getting pretty tired of watching this movie's rating keep on descending here on IMDb, currently holding a 7.1, and on top of that observe all the hilariously stupid hate-arguments people use to shoot this movie down.
I honestly think people have forgotten how it was like to watch these movies for the first time, and why they found the first two in the series funny in the first place. Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz were never as hyped as The World's End was, and I think people expected something else this time around, other than what they were used to from the series... Something bigger, something way beyond Shaun and Hot Fuzz.
The fact is this IS different, and people tend to not look at the movie in a bigger perspective. All the hidden metaphors and references may be overlooked because all they can think of is: 'well this is basically Shaun of the Dead all over again isn't it" NO it's not. NOT at all.
I think people need to clear their minds and learn to appreciate good cinema when they see it. I think this got the 'bad-movie' sticker on it WAY too early, and it has become 'that movie to hate' even though it does not deserve that - yes that's my opinion but hear me out here...
It is the 3rd movie in a brilliant series, of course it's hard to live up to. But I dare all of you to see it once more, and look at the unique signature directing style and editing from Mr. Wright, the perfectly timed jokes, and after that look up some analysis of the movie. I'm not saying you are going to like it after a second watch, I'm not saying that you did not get some of the references in the first viewing already either. I'm just saying that people rating this as low as 1 or 2/10 are completely insane.
Maybe you don't like the concept, fine. Maybe you didn't like the ending, fine. But there has to be HELL OF A LOT wrong with this if you rate it as low as some of the worst movies ever made.
