It's such a clever film. Notice how everyone on the streets is walking the opposite direction? Really helps subtly build the sense of "Them vs Everyone Else".
Also, near the end of the clip, they all turn to watch them whenever they pass by. You'll notice that a lot throughout the movie, the blanks staring them down in the background
That's why Gary didn't pack any luggage. He was planning to kill himself after the Golden Mile was completed and this was his last attempt to relive what he thought was the best time of his life.
Man, the way he says "Exactly! We're just five friends on a night out having a good time," is painful to listen to. You just have this feeling that he's doing everything he possibly can to make it feel like that night he holds so dearly in his memory so he can die happy once it's over. Damn, it hurts, because it's not unlike suicidal people to want to live one day freely with no consequences to end their lives on a good note, convincing themselves that they are happy.
According to Edgar Wright: "The montage that Alabama Song plays over was timed very carefully to the music. We had it playing on set, so the actors were walking in step to it and drinking in time to it as well. It’s not easy. I’d like you in the Empire office to try drinking a whole pint in time to the middle eight of Alabama Song - it’s really difficult!"
I mean my god, I just love how the actors movements are sync with the music, much like how the editing itself is in sync with music and sounds. Edgar Wright films are just so damn sharp, and that editing style alone just keeps you glued to the screen.
This scene really reminds me of that scene from Shaun of the Dead where they had to pretend they’re zombies to get to the Winchester. And I don’t think that’s a coincidence.
Oh that is very much intentional. Cause all three movies has the same joke about going over the fence for a short cut and failing said short cut almost imediately after and all three have little easter eggs that loosely connects them to eachother despite the moves having no chronological canon to eachother.
I love how Edgar Wright made it seem so awkward and suspicious as soon as Gary and the rest found out they were blanks, with very small camera movements, how the people walked, and how they had shown their expressions, paralleled to how it was before they found out
OctavianPOV The problem with Oscars is that they always go with depressing dramas, there have been occasions unquie awards like Heath Ledgar role in The Dark Knight.
Honestly never fail to notice something new when rewatching any of these movies. I like how someone opens a squeaky door at 0:05 to sync up with all the heads turning to make it seem more robotic
Did anyone else notice how when Andy says "Drink up, Lets booboo", Gary pretty much only had a mere dribble left in his glass, he has already drunken his ahead of the others.
@@highdefinition450Also back in the day, everyone would call chicks “little girls” to even think about referring to a child in those times was very out of place, not like in todays time.
edgar wright has said that the evil dead trilogy are some of his favorite movies, and he pays tribute to them in basically every movie he makes. shooting scenes in reverse was a pretty common thing in those movies, so maybe it's another tribute?
I think this is the order of the pubs. 1.The First Post 2 .The Old Familiar 3.The Famous Cock 4.The Cross Hands 5.The Old Companion 6.The Trusty Servant 7. The Two Headed Dog 8. The Mermaid 9.The beehive. 10.The King's Head 11.The Hole in The Wall 12.The World's End
+Me dicen Jeronimo init when you see the man and the woman holding arms on the right and the woman pushing the pram on the left again and then Andy turns around and then all the blanks do the same its so creepy
i love how some of our heroes are walking around with the blue blood still on them like gary still has alot of it on his hands which rubs off on the money he gives the bartender and andy has just a tiny bit on his cheek, also this film did an incredible job foreshadowing the whole movie with its intro at the AA meeting
They couldn't have picked a better song for this scene as the title and lyrics are very appropriate and the music has a slightly tense mood to match the mood of the film during this scene.
They are ALL walking in tempo to the song. I don't just mean the five boys, EVERYONE ON THE STREET is walking in sync! Just to reinforce this idea that the town is full of robots and they're desperately trying to blend in. My god, this film just keeps on giving!
The lyrics of the song surprisingly connect with the story and what they are doing. “ show me the way to the next whiskey bar, don’t ask why” that’s exactly what they are doing!!!
I liked this movie a lot because the other two movies in the trilogy are ridiculous action-capers but this one makes you think it’s going to be a more serious, mid life crisis, time-to-grow-up sort of film, but halfway through it just throws that back in your face and says ‘fuck that, genocidal robots coming your way!’
0:13 I watched as that exact scene was being filmed. I was ironically in the pub opposite, which was also used for this movie. I walk up that road every day to get to work.
1:03 and 1:05 Garth Jennings (director of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Son of Rambow and the Sing films, who's also the voice of Miss Crawly in the latter) there.
1:03 one closest to left is I believe Garth Jennings who directed sing and sing 2 also a hitchhikers guide to the galaxy he was also a fun dead zombie and crack head in hot fuzz
This is my favorite movie of all time. I love the entire Cornetto trilogy but this movie was gold. I was sold even before the Blank shit started, after that I was in love.
Is the bartender at 0:56 also a blank person or not? he still looked human and was not stirred up about the blue ink on them and on the cash gary showed,?
The blanks are basically the people they are supposed to replace in the inside only though. This is why everyone's seems normal until things screwed up.
0:05 the marmalade sandwich are not turning their heads around because they are still humans but then at the 8th pub the mermaid they are young again. (Blanks)
When I first watched this movie I didn't really like it because it was kind of different from the first two. But now I absolutely love everything about it.
I hear a lot about the foreshadowing in this film, and I just noticed whenever they’re lined up next to each other it’s always the 3 survivors in the middle.
We don't spend much time in The Good Companions, but there are 2 pieces of symbolism in it, first (obviously) they're being good companions, 2nd the sign, one happy mask and 4 sad ones, seems like the main characters
One happy mask that hides the sad character behind it. Four sad masks that only two hide the true characters whereas the other two hide the fate of the soon to be blanked.
0:40 The sign represents the attitudes of the gang; Gary is the only mask that’s smiling because he’s the only one who wanted to do the crawl. The others are the four frowning masks.
One thing I never noticed in this scene is when they drink the beers Ollie and Pete don't actually say anything which is foreshadowing for when they get turned into blanks

My favorite movie scene in quite some time. What a great movie.

knowing that gary is suicidal, it can be brutal to go back through this movie...

I've watched this so many times and I never realised
I just thought that after he finished he'd be finally happy
Damn now i cry
I loved how they kept in time with the music when they walked and stepped forward and when they said those five things and then left. love this film
They way they're all stepping in time is hypnotic, yeah.
Yes. It's called 'visual comedy'. I wish more comedy directors did that.
And to think Edgar Wright (the director) almost ended up doing Ant-Man.
Jack Evans they still used his script ideas
According to Edgar Wright: "The montage that Alabama Song plays over was timed very carefully to the music.

This movie manages to be genuinely unsettling and hilarious at the same time. Favorite movie. Ever.

When it comes to Edgar Wright's films. There are no coincidences.
It's not very similar tho, it's not like they're pretending to be blanks..
Man I love Edgar Wright's work. Makes me want to go watch this right now.
I love how Edgar Wright made it seem so awkward and suspicious as soon as Gary and the rest found out they were blanks, with very small camera movements, how the people walked, and how they had shown their expressions, paralleled to how it was before they found out
Who else agrees that Edgar wright needs to win an oscar.
Maybe best director for baby driver
OctavianPOV The problem with Oscars is that they always go with depressing dramas, there have been occasions unquie awards like Heath Ledgar role in The Dark Knight.
The Best Scenes or movies based on diversity and discrimination against minorities
ZigZag2000 to be Grand Budapest hotel won multiple oscars
OctavianPOV Agreed.
This is my favorite part of the movie, thanks to The Doors, and it's very fitting to the movie!
+KaevaV The sense of impending doom...
Honestly never fail to notice something new when rewatching any of these movies. I like how someone opens a squeaky door at 0:05 to sync up with all the heads turning to make it seem more robotic
I think it's also meant to be a reference to 'The Doors', who wrote the song
Did anyone else notice how when Andy says "Drink up, Lets booboo", Gary pretty much only had a mere dribble left in his glass, he has already drunken his ahead of the others.
Is it just me or does this song perfectly sum up The World's End?
Yep
Mainly Gary
Except the little girls part.. :/

I know a lot of people will say James Gunn bc of the Guardians movies. But Edgar Wrights music choices in all his movies are fucking amazing!
The cool thing is that they are friends and in GOTG2 they were in constant contact not to put the same songs as in baby driver
@@Max.Headr00m You're telling me we could have had "The Chain" in Baby Driver?
Anyone feel like the part where they drink at 0:02 was reversed to make it look robotic?
Malas 25 the glass on the right has liquid pouring down, that would be impossible if reversed
Maybe they did doctor it a bit, because you can see an instant change in the beer flow in the left guy's glass in 25% speed.

I want Edgar wright to make another film with all the same actors like the other 2
Fireax12 he's making another film but it doesn't have simon pegg in it
Unfortunatelly these days Simon pegg is too busy playing characters with dog names (benji) rather than adding another sequel to the cornetto series!
Chris Dudeson But hey, at least we have one of the best film trilogies of all time.

+Me dicen Jeronimo init when you see the man and the woman holding arms on the right and the woman pushing the pram on the left again and then Andy turns around and then all the blanks do the same its so creepy
I think all the blanks are walking in sync too. I'm watching and it's not super noticeable because of how they're staggered, but they all are in step.
That is such a brilliant scene. The music, the editing... it's all perfect.
i love how some of our heroes are walking around with the blue blood still on them like gary still has alot of it on his hands which rubs off on the money he gives the bartender and andy has just a tiny bit on his cheek, also this film did an incredible job foreshadowing the whole movie with its intro at the AA meeting
They couldn't have picked a better song for this scene as the title and lyrics are very appropriate and the music has a slightly tense mood to match the mood of the film during this scene.
At 0:14 you can see the logo of the Network
Can we talk about how satisfying the steps being in-sync with each-other and with the beat of the song?
This is the best scene in the movie, despite everything. So well acted & coordinated.
We're just 5 friends...on a night out...having a good time...
Those lines are iconic!
Such amazing pacing in this scene...goes exactly with the song, love edgar wright

I'm just here to make sure all the cars are the same car, apparently every car in the town is a Vauxhall Ampera
Yep! I wouldn't have noticed, myself, but in the feature commentary, EW confirmed that as a sign of The Network in the town.
interestingly, there is a billboard ad for the Ampera car at the train station when Gary picks his friends up.
That's just product placement.
Still cracks me up when an Opel is called a Vauxhall.
Love this movie. Simon Pegg and Nick Frost are Hilarious and fckn Comedy GENIUSES

I think he’s laying low like Basil and that’s why he nods because he knows what’s happening
huh, the crest of the good companions :D. 4 sad masks and one happy mask, since 4 of the group are unnerved and creeped out, and one is rlly happy ^^
Which actually ends up being depressing since the happy one is actually the saddest of them all.
Just came for The Doors.
Yeah same so people saying this song was in the movie s=just wanted to see.

Masterpiece in writing acting and directing.

1:02 LOOK AT THE FIRST GUY
Using that Doors track for a drinking montage was so obvious: I can't believe no one else had tried it yet. Glad Wright got there first.
I never realised before that everyone else is walking in the opposite direction
And also in step.

"Ahh..."
"Beer."
"Pubs"

Lived in World's End for a bit, not sure if this film is refering to that particular world's End. Looks ikea good film.
