I would LOVE for you guys to react to Fury (2014), starring Brad Pitt, Jon Berthnal, Shia Labeouf, Michael Peña and Logan Lerman. Not realistic in terms of WW2 battle sequences, but the chemistry between the actors is off the charts, think you guys might like it.
FINALLY! Waited for ages Wave Crew! Hilarious all throughout! Simon, Nick, and the Crew were excellent! Definitely gets me in the mood for a drink tonight 🍻🍻🍻
When Gary said "they told me when to sleep" I immediately started crying. The humiliation, frustration, anger, desperation in Simon peggs voice and face just hit me so hard
It made a lot of sense when I heard that Simon Pegg actually cowrote for the movie and a lot of Gary came from his real struggles with alcoholism, you can feel it in his performance and its why this is one of my favorite movies ever
This one has the most emotional depth of the trilogy, often overlooked and not given enough credit, especially on rewatches when you catch more of the depth it really shines
I was only 13 when this came out. Me and my mate were huge fans of Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz. And of course we loved this movie too. But we never realised how deep it was as a kids. I never really paid attention to Gary's really sad life, that he had been self harming and maybe even intended to kill himself by the end. Now I still love it as a comedy but the emotional depth is really moving.
Yeah, this one seems to be considered the black sheep of the trilogy but I think it's the most emotional and darkest. Really like that it's something a little different but still has that same kind of energy and humour.
Hot Fuzz is still my favourite, but this doesn't get given enough credit in my opinion. Rick was right that he'd like it more on a rewatch. Basically everything is foreshadowing (a lot of people's favourites is the relevance of the pub names to what happens there), and you only catch the obvious ones first time around. There is sooo much to unpack and pick up on with a rewatch, and it'll take a bunch of viewings to catch most of them
Fully on board with Rick in all regards, both in terms of enjoying all of them just about equally, as well as his point about the slow burn being a good thing. Hell no I'd never skip the first minutes, if anything, knowing what's going to go down just elevates the setup and really, really enhances my overall enjoyment. Really like this movie and I think it's underrated in comparison, couldn't agree less with people bluntly dismissing it or ranking it the worst of the series. I just really love the vibe, and boy is the choreography stealing the show throughout.
I agree 100% with this because I believe all of the Cornetto movies are better after rewatch, but this one is almost made for rewatch. It’s so much more fun.
I mean Worlds End was alright in my opinion but the weakest of the Cornetto trilogy. They dates these were made are how they are ranked from 1st to 3rd in that order for me. I think they should do one other and have it based on star wars parody or something else. Pegg and his buddy are great together.
I love the symbolism with all the pub names which explains their journey: The First Post: starting pub The Old Familiar: Exactly the same as the first pub The Famous Cock: Gary (the cock) is famous in the pub and is barred The Cross Hands: When the guys fight they cross hands with the robots in the same way as on the sign The Good Companions: The friends are reunited and start to bond again The Trusty Servant: Rev. Green is a servant of the robots The Two-Headed Dog: The twins The Mermaid: The siren imagery with the marmalade sandwich The Beehive: All the robots swarm the pub like bees with Mr Shepherd acting as the queen The King's Head: Gary King loses his head (metaphorically) The Hole in the Wall: The car crashes through the wall The World's End: The world literally ends
A few correction/alternative interpretations: The Good Companions also has a logo of 1 happy mask and 4 miserable ones, like King and company The Trusty Servant could also refer to O-man, as this is the pub where he gets replaced Gary is carried into The Kings Head after Andy punches him in the head. It's also right after he knocks his own head into a wooden post.
Oh man. I guess I'm one of the few that think that this is my favorite film out of the Cornetto trilogy. I also love that the names of the pubs already tell you the whole story.
It's weird because I can objectively say that Hot Fuzz is the best and made me laugh a lot more than any other of the Cornetto trilogy. And yet, despite that, The World's End is my favorite.
One thing that's really fun about this movie on a rewatch is the opening just spoils the entire movie without you realizing it. Them running into the Reverend Green in pub 5, O-Man going out in pub 6, his sister going along but Gary having to let her go, Pete going out after pub 9 and then at the end they sit on the hill seeing the orange glow of a new dawn break.
And at the end of the opening scene, if you look closely, you can briefly see a shooting star flying across the sky, which is later revealed to be the Network arriving on Earth
Just wanted to add, the fight choreographer for The World's End was the fantastic Brad Allen. He worked with Edgar previously on Scott Pilgrim, and went on to coordinate/choreograph the stunts/fight sequences in the Kingsman films. He was truly a master of his craft.
Getting to see someone go into this blindly is so fun. Eric’s reaction when the robot stuff started was gold. Also this movie solidified Nick Frost as one of my top favorite actors of all time the guy can do fucking anything
The difference from this one and the others is that this film makes me genuinely emotional with the Gary reveal. The pub crawl being all he has was obvious but the reveal just breaks me. That's why I love this one a bit more than the others
It's a testament to how good of an actor Simon Pegg is, that he can spend the entire movie playing this douchebag character who, while funny, is a consistently awful person... then at his lowest moment, physically hurting his best friend just so he can have another beer, he can make you pull a total 180 and feel so bad for the poor bastard.
@@twofacetoo75Apparently Simon Pegg helped write the movie and a lot of Gary's personality came from Pegg's own struggles with alcoholism in the past, you can really feel it in his performance
The crawl wasn't just the only thing he had left. It was the last hoorah before he kills himself for good. The end of the world literally saved King's life.
Exactly, in the beginning of the movie you can even notice that Gary brings no luggage for the trip unlike the others, he wasn't planning for the day after
The Three Musketeers explanation foreshadowed Andy, Gary and Steven being the only surviving group left. Pete and Oliver wore blue, foreshadowing them to become blanks.
The main characters' surnames all have royalty or court connections: (Gary) King, (Andy) Knightley, (Peter) Page, (Steven) Prince, and (Oliver) Chamberlain.
And it even speaks to their personalities too, Gary as the king is arrogant and above all of them, Andy as the knight is too loyal to leave the king's side towards the end of the movie and he does a lot of the fighting, Peter had to be protected for most of the movie, etc
i love how at the end, the alien intelligence subtley changes how he refers to gary over the course of the conversation. first it's "Gary King, of the Humans." but later it's "Gary, King of the Humans."
I love this movie! Actually a great exploration of nostalgia for youth, human nature as rebellion, Gary’s depression, and the commodification of British towns
Hot Fuzz is my faviorite and I consider it a genuinely perfect film. I liked The Worlds End the first time i saw it but didn't realise how genuinely brilliant it is until the 2nd or 3rd watch. It's such a relatable story and has a lot more to actually say about people than Edgar's other films. Gary King may genuinely be the most tragically sad character in any comedy film I have ever seen. The line "What happened Gary" from Sam when he takes her into the toilets is absolutely heartbreaking.
Seeing this movie for the first time was a special one for me - Me, my brother and a few friends went to a Cornetto Trilogy marathon night, timed to start The World's End at midnight on its release day. They served Cornettos between each film and each film had an intro from Edgar Wright, Simon Pegg and Nick Frost to hype us up. I don't remember all of the intros, but I do remember that in the intro for Shaun of the Dead, Simon Pegg said "Shaun of the Dead contains 77 uses of the F Word, and we want you to applaud every time you hear it."
I love that Martin Freeman's roles got progressively bigger in this films as he became more famous 🤣. The second he came out of that bathroom i was like HE AIN'T RIGHT
I've always said this one might be the weakest of the three but that is a huge compliment to the trilogy as a whole because I absolutely love this movie
So glad Eric liked this one, it's my personal favourite and more proof that everything Edgar Wright writes or directs is absolute gold. Would absolutely love to see to guys react to Last Night in Soho as it's a completely different vibe. Loved the reaction lads
This was filmed where I went to school, in Letchworth Garden City. Most of the pubs in the film are actually real pubs, although the train station was dressed as 'the worlds end' - in 6th form, a group of us did actually go on a pub crawl of the town in 1999.
This one's my favourite of the three. They absolutely perfected the foreshadowing in this one. Even though it had fewer laugh-out-loud moments, it's the only one of the trilogy where I care about the characters. It also has the best action; as good as Hot Fuzz is, there's a lot of shaky cam during the action scenes.
When you get the guy who shot the Matrix films and the Sam Raimi Spider-Man films to do the cinematography, it's inevitable you're in for some great action scenes
The Cornetto trilogy has such a great selection of British actors, some who'll only be known in Britain properly. The bartender at 20:20 is played by Mark Heap who, IMO, is an underrated actor. He was in a sitcom called Friday Night Dinner and played a character called Jim who might be one of the best characters in any sitcom. Of course there's Reece Shearsmith from Inside No 9 but you guys will know him as Patrick Troughton in An Adventure in Space and Time and in Doctor Who Series 9 episode 'Sleep No More'. A fantastic versatile actor.
I feel Rick needs to watch his own reaction back, because he seemed to forget just how much he laughed & enjoyed it. (And not for the first time). His reviews often belie his genuine reaction. I mean, in this one he even did the excitable, involuntary clap (like an ex-member used to) at one stage.😊
Tbf to Rick it's not that he didn't enjoy it, it's he knew the twist was coming due to the trailer he watched. A problem with trailers nowadays is they give too much away. It was the same with The World's End Trailer. Unfortunately unlike the others he just knew it. If he never saw the trailer he would of probably liked it a lot more
Eric is my spirit animal. I really can't compare the 3 films to each other. Each is great for its own reason. Also, I just can't wrap my brain around the idea of skipping through a film. I sit down and watch a movie from start to finish, even on rewatches. And slow parts of all the films I love are so important to the overall whole.
I think the extra beat before the crazy starts is an artistic choice to purposefully make the audience guess if there actually is a crazy. I think it’s a nice touch.
Hot Fuzz, The Worlds End and Shaun of the Dead are the order I like these movies in. But all three are really smartly written films with lots of set-up, foreshadowing and pay-off. The Cornetto Trilogy is a classic gem.
Edgar Wright is damn good at doing match-cuts, foreshadowing, having a character literally spell out the entire movie in an early scene without you realizing they did it and incredibly well choreographed action sequences. It makes re-watches of the Cornetto trilogy so rewarding without ever detracting from how fun those films are.
This is my favourite of the Cornetto Trilogy. This is fantastic. I love Edgar Wright's style of symetrical stories(the titles of the bars in this one foreshadow the encounters they have)and the story was so funny and heartwrenching as well. Gary peaking in high school and trying to recapture the old magic is sad. So many fantastic lines in this. "A man of your legendary prowess drinking FUCKIN' RRRRAAAAIIIIINNNN..." "AH! I FUCKING HATE THIS TOWN!" "It says "King Gay!" "They know what we're doing...but they don't know that we know what they're doing...and basically, nobody else knows what to do, so FUCK IT!(Smashes through glass door.) "I'm human...but I don't know for how much longer.." "BASIL!!!!" "SHH!" EDIT: Laughing now because Steve was friends with Mad Basil. That means King Viserys I and Mad Basil were friends.
YES! This is my favorite of the Cornetto trilogy because of how unique it is compared to the others. I've watched it like 3-4 times and every time I see something new that just makes me awe at Edgar Wright's genius.
32:46 *Gary:* _"Andy! Twist the melon, man!"_ ● As soon as I heard Gary say that, the song _"Step On"_ by *Happy Mondays* immediately popped into my head! 😄 It was played earlier in the film as well.
I HIGHLY recommend watching Cinema Win's videos on the cornetto trilogy, they're very entertaining and you learn so much more about the foreshadowing, camera tricks and jokes in all three of the movies
Some easter eggs found in the movie: The First Post: Where they started the pub crawl The Old Familiar: Similar looking pub to the first one and where they met O-Man's sister (an old familiar, since Gary, Andrew and her have history). The Famous Cock: Gary was barred and cock is slang for a jerk/asshole. The Crossed Hands: Where they met the robots and when they left the pub they crossed hands The Good Companions: They entered acting like they don't know about the robots to not arouse suspicion (The sign of the pub is of a theatre mask) The Trusty Servant: Where they met the Reverend Green who is now a crony of the robots The Two Headed Dogs: Where they met the twins The Mermaid: Where they met the "Marmalade Sandwich" who are acting as the siren to lure them. The Beehive: Where they fought in the past and in the present. A place crawling with robots and where Mr Shepard told them about the robots and their hive mind The Kings Head: They went in after Gary banged his head to the wall to show that he isn't a blank The Hole in the Wall: The beast ran through the pub creating an actual hole in the wall The World's End: Where the world ended. The names of the character are reminiscent of the Knight of the Round Table: Gary "King": The leader of the group, Andy "Knight" ley: Gary's trusted best friend and guardian, Steven "Prince": Gary's rival and 2nd to Gary for Sam, Oliver "Chamberlain": Chamberlain are household managers and he sells houses, Peter "Page": a page is a boy in training, Gary said that Peter is someone who the group always look after.
I LOVE THEM ALL. like Eric I was like, this is the best one, after watching it. But, Hot fuzz just keeps pulling me back in. All three fantastic, it's like asking whoa your favourite child 🤣
I had no idea this was people's least favorite!! This and Hot Fuzz flip as my fav depending on which one I'm watching!!! The thing these movies do best is that moment of extreme pain and catharsis amongst the highjinks. Shaun's mum, Danny learning the truth, and Gary's suicide attempt reveal. I think this one is the best of the three, that scene in the World's End is so fucking tragic, and so wonderfully played by Simon and Nick.
First of all, thank you guys for all you do. I loved this film and have been trying to get my buddies to do a safe pub crawl years ago. Sometimes this film is hard to watch because I literally had a friend who had the personality of Gary King. He unfortunately passed away rip. Brings back good memories. Cheers 🍻
I was very fortunate enough to watch the filming of this movie in person seeing the likes of Simon Peg , Nick Frost, Martin Freeman, and Paddy Constantine doing their scenes , all taken place during late 2012 due to the fact i live in the same north Hertfordshire area where this film was mostly being made.
No one can combine comedy and tragedy like Edgar Wright does. Plus, his whole filming style is super unique. I'd say he's the master of visual comedy at the moment.
That was the first film I watched in English without subtitles or context AND in England because me and my friends were walking around York and suddenly decided to go to the cinema (I'm not a native speaker). I've had no idea what I'm getting myself into with this movie and when you have no clue that film will have aliens, this plot twist is surprising as hell haha
The music is great in this, in the end when he is shouting to the Bill Nighy voice he quotes “loaded” by Primal Scream which plays at the beginning when he is smiling thinking of doing the golden mile again. The end song is called “happy hour again” I’m sure they are all strategically placed
I've been rewatching Cornetto trilogy for years now, and each time I do, I notice new things. See how at 21:20 it's Garry who actually sees Sam first? The callbacks are perfect.
I love this entry in the Cornetto Trilogy. The characters feel more relatable then in Hot Fuzz or Shawn of the Dead. And I love when the thing that sets humanity apart is how much of a bunch of fuckups we are
My favourite of the three, I think. I totally love all of them, but there is just so much to see in this one. I could write an essay on all the visual gags in this - like the fight with the twins taking place in the Two Headed Dog, and the car crashing into the building in the Hole in the Wall. Every re-watch I'll see something new. And the soundtrack is awesome!
This is undoubtedly my favourite of the trilogy. I was genuinely surprised to hear it was a lot of people's least favourite. I can see logically how Hot Fuzz is just... a better complete package. But, to me, this has basically everything the first two had and more. Better characters, more heart, amazing fight scenes and funnier comedy. I'm not seeing a downside.
This one is my favourite by far. The best fight scenes, best subtle and intelligent humour, and the most emotional, especially if you understand that Gary is cutting himself and that he's wasted years of his life with depression.
YES! FINALLY! I've been waiting so long for this reaction, hands down my favorite of the Cornetto Trilogy, I like that this one is brave enough to have more 'real' moments than the other ones. Blew my mind when I watched this as a kid.
If you watch Spaced it makes it better. It's a sitcom they did together back in the 90s. All the characters make an appearance in the corenetto trilogy! It's on Prime. Edgar Wright, Simon Pegg, and Nick Frost! It's sooo good!
This is one of my favorite movies. As someone from a very small town. going back and feeling things never changed there, but everything feels strange, comparing yourself to friends from that town and thinking back to the hopes and dreams you had at highschool and thinking what happened to you since then. Never saw another film that captured that better.
The Peter Fonda quote is more of a reference to the song “Loaded” by Primal Scream, which sampled the lines. It was released in 1990 when they would have attempted the pub crawl for the first time - it was a massive anthem back in the day, especially for people around that age. Great reaction as always, I love all three, and anything Edgar Wright has a hand in I go in with high expectations - I would really recommend Spaced, a TV series from the late 90s/early 2000s written by Simon Pegg and Jessica Hynes and directed by Edgar Wright. Loads of familiar faces, including Simon Pegg and Nick Frost, as well as others you’ll recognise as background characters from the Cornetto trilogy.
A film that gets better, an more emotionally impactful with each watch. Each time you rewatch you catch more heartbreaking details, the facility hes in at the beginning, the fact he didnt bring any luggage...
I love the callbacks and the small details in this movie, at the end Gary not only orders water to show that he's gotten that confidence Andy talked about and he's sober, but he's also clean shaven like when he was young, a theory I like is that he had so much facial hair because he wasn't allowed to have razors in the hospital, after his suicide attempt. Him shaving shows his growth too
If you liked Nick Frost's fighting skills in this movie you should see him in the "Into The Badlands" TV show he was great in it and it's a great show!
My favourite details about this film is that every pub is foreshadowing the events that happen within. And they all have a poster, board or sign in the pub with the number it is out of 12. Edgar Wright is my favourite director and everything he does is great! Last Night in Soho should be on the watchlist for you guys!
Hot Fuzz is my favourite and is the best movie of the three. World's End, however, is the best written of the three. My favourite bit of foreshadowing about their fate is about the Three Musketeers: "If you had Five, two could have died, and you would have three left."
The world's end is one of my 3 favorite movies. I love all three of the Cornetto trilogy movies. Without Shawn of the dead i never would have watched the second two. So sll three earn my praise. Most of my friends that love movies like hot fuzz the best but the world's end is quite possibly my favorite movie(other two in the running are "the usual suspects" and "role models").
Yes, that is a sword at the end. But I don't think it's just *a* sword, I think it's *the* sword. Because legend says that in its time of great need, The King will return to save the kingdom, leading his Knights on a great quest. Gary at the end is Arthur reborn. The (Once and Future) King, wielding Excalibur.

You guys should choose Paul as the next Pegg and Frost film to react to
Paul 🙏
I would LOVE for you guys to react to Fury (2014), starring Brad Pitt, Jon Berthnal, Shia Labeouf, Michael Peña and Logan Lerman. Not realistic in terms of WW2 battle sequences, but the chemistry between the actors is off the charts, think you guys might like it.
Edgar Wright didn't direct or write Paul
FINALLY! Waited for ages Wave Crew!
Hilarious all throughout! Simon, Nick, and the Crew were excellent!
Definitely gets me in the mood for a drink tonight 🍻🍻🍻
When Gary said "they told me when to sleep" I immediately started crying. The humiliation, frustration, anger, desperation in Simon peggs voice and face just hit me so hard
There are only couple movies that almost make me cry and this is one of them.
It made a lot of sense when I heard that Simon Pegg actually cowrote for the movie and a lot of Gary came from his real struggles with alcoholism, you can feel it in his performance and its why this is one of my favorite movies ever
This one has the most emotional depth of the trilogy, often overlooked and not given enough credit, especially on rewatches when you catch more of the depth it really shines
And especially when you factor in the off-screen emotional depth, since it was super personal to Pegg and helped him reckon with his past alcoholism.
@@JeffKelly03 I didn't know that, that's awesome!

Pegg and his buddy are great together.
It took me two tries to get into it. But I really liked it on the second try.
Yep also the events of the crawl match the flashback albeit in a twisted way
I love the symbolism with all the pub names which explains their journey:
The First Post: starting pub
The Old Familiar: Exactly the same as the first pub
The Famous Cock: Gary (the cock) is famous in the pub and is barred
The Cross Hands: When the guys fight they cross hands with the robots in the same way as on the sign
The Good Companions: The friends are reunited and start to bond again
The Trusty Servant: Rev. Green is a servant of the robots
The Two-Headed Dog: The twins
The Mermaid: The siren imagery with the marmalade sandwich
The Beehive: All the robots swarm the pub like bees with Mr Shepherd acting as the queen
The King's Head: Gary King loses his head (metaphorically)
The Hole in the Wall: The car crashes through the wall
The World's End: The world literally ends
I always thought the Kings Head referred to the head on the beer since Gary is the only one still drinking at that point
A few correction/alternative interpretations:
The Good Companions also has a logo of 1 happy mask and 4 miserable ones, like King and company
The Trusty Servant could also refer to O-man, as this is the pub where he gets replaced
Gary is carried into The Kings Head after Andy punches him in the head. It's also right after he knocks his own head into a wooden post.
inCON-clusion... get pissed - DON'T THINK or look around you !!! $tar-BUCK-ing around the...world !!!! ?
@@johnmathews3820 Also thought because Andy knocked Gary out.
You forgot the last pub at the very, very end "The Rising Sun". Dawn of a new day?
Oh man. I guess I'm one of the few that think that this is my favorite film out of the Cornetto trilogy. I also love that the names of the pubs already tell you the whole story.
Trust me, there are many more who consider this their favorite. I do, by far.
By far the best movie out of the three by a long shot.
It's so good. I don't get how it could not be someone's favorite. It has so much going for it.
Sorry but Hot Fuzz cannot be topped
It's weird because I can objectively say that Hot Fuzz is the best and made me laugh a lot more than any other of the Cornetto trilogy. And yet, despite that, The World's End is my favorite.
One thing that's really fun about this movie on a rewatch is the opening just spoils the entire movie without you realizing it.

They do a similar thing in Shaun of the Dead too
Just wanted to add, the fight choreographer for The World's End was the fantastic Brad Allen. He worked with Edgar previously on Scott Pilgrim, and went on to coordinate/choreograph the stunts/fight sequences in the Kingsman films. He was truly a master of his craft.
That completely tracks. I was wondering what the choreography in this movie reminded me of, and Scott Pilgrim is absolutely it.
Indeed. That church scene in the first film is still unmatched.
Getting to see someone go into this blindly is so fun. Eric’s reaction when the robot stuff started was gold.
Also this movie solidified Nick Frost as one of my top favorite actors of all time the guy can do fucking anything
The difference from this one and the others is that this film makes me genuinely emotional with the Gary reveal. The pub crawl being all he has was obvious but the reveal just breaks me. That's why I love this one a bit more than the others

@@twofacetoo75 big facts
Yeah I only just noticed in this rewatch that Gary had likely been in and out of a mental hospital close to since the first golden mile
@@twofacetoo75Apparently Simon Pegg helped write the movie and a lot of Gary's personality came from Pegg's own struggles with alcoholism in the past, you can really feel it in his performance
Side note: "Paul," though it was a Pegg/Frost film, was not directed by Edgar Wright.
Nick Frost was such a beast in this movie
@C K Never heard of it, but I'll have to check it out now lol
The crawl wasn't just the only thing he had left. It was the last hoorah before he kills himself for good.
The end of the world literally saved King's life.
Exactly, in the beginning of the movie you can even notice that Gary brings no luggage for the trip unlike the others, he wasn't planning for the day after
The Three Musketeers explanation foreshadowed Andy, Gary and Steven being the only surviving group left.
Pete and Oliver wore blue, foreshadowing them to become blanks.
Even in the beginning Gary says they should been the 5 Musketeers, so 2 could die & they’d still have 3. All the foreshadowing was so good on rewatch.
The main characters' surnames all have royalty or court connections: (Gary) King, (Andy) Knightley, (Peter) Page, (Steven) Prince, and (Oliver) Chamberlain.
And it even speaks to their personalities too, Gary as the king is arrogant and above all of them, Andy as the knight is too loyal to leave the king's side towards the end of the movie and he does a lot of the fighting, Peter had to be protected for most of the movie, etc

Man, that sounds awesome!
Sure was! Easily the most unique cinema experience I've had in my life so far!
That sounds like a fun time
I love that Martin Freeman's roles got progressively bigger in this films as he became more famous 🤣. The second he came out of that bathroom i was like HE AIN'T RIGHT
Was not expecting this one to win, but I'm glad. Personally it's my favorite of the trilogy.
4 weeks ago this comment? Was it originally released then taken down
It's my favourite too. Not sure why people dislike it. Then again, I'm a big sci-fi fan.

Been years in the making but finally Aarons "This is the End" mix up saga has come to an end.
I can't pick a favorite because they are all so different.
Solid "trilogy".
Totally agree. They're all great
@@kevinl3875 It's not really a trilogy. Just a group of three different stories with the same crew
@@trequorits literally called the cornetto trilogy
@@Switchblade11-08 Not literally, no. That name is unofficial. It's what some people call it. It's not really a trilogy at all.
I've always said this one might be the weakest of the three but that is a huge compliment to the trilogy as a whole because I absolutely love this movie
So glad Eric liked this one, it's my personal favourite and more proof that everything Edgar Wright writes or directs is absolute gold. Would absolutely love to see to guys react to Last Night in Soho as it's a completely different vibe. Loved the reaction lads
"How old is Shaun in Shaun of the Dead, like early-to-mid 30s?"
Shaun: "I'm 29, for fuck sake!"
This was filmed where I went to school, in Letchworth Garden City. Most of the pubs in the film are actually real pubs, although the train station was dressed as 'the worlds end' - in 6th form, a group of us did actually go on a pub crawl of the town in 1999.
Yeah, it was surprising to see. I like they made the Broadway cinema to a night club.
What I love about this movie is that each pubs name has to do with what happens at each pub it’s so great. Such great writing
This one's my favourite of the three. They absolutely perfected the foreshadowing in this one. Even though it had fewer laugh-out-loud moments, it's the only one of the trilogy where I care about the characters. It also has the best action; as good as Hot Fuzz is, there's a lot of shaky cam during the action scenes.
When you get the guy who shot the Matrix films and the Sam Raimi Spider-Man films to do the cinematography, it's inevitable you're in for some great action scenes
I think that's part of the humour, the shaky cams follow the typical action movie trope that they had going in Hot Fuzz
The Cornetto trilogy has such a great selection of British actors, some who'll only be known in Britain properly. The bartender at 20:20 is played by Mark Heap who, IMO, is an underrated actor. He was in a sitcom called Friday Night Dinner and played a character called Jim who might be one of the best characters in any sitcom. Of course there's Reece Shearsmith from Inside No 9 but you guys will know him as Patrick Troughton in An Adventure in Space and Time and in Doctor Who Series 9 episode 'Sleep No More'. A fantastic versatile actor.
Mark Heap also was in the sketch show Big Train with Simon Pegg and later in the sitcom The Green Wing.
One to add to Mr Heaps list Jam ... highly recommend Mr lizard as one of his more weird and creepy sketches
Also Mark Heap was in Spaced which is a comedy show by Edgar Wright, Simon Pegg, Nick Frost and others
@@samuelwilkin5 Can't believe that wasn't the first listed reference for Mark Heap in this context! Such an underrated show
Reece Shearsmith famously from "The League of Gentlemen" and also was in "Spaced" as Dexter..
I feel Rick needs to watch his own reaction back, because he seemed to forget just how much he laughed & enjoyed it. (And not for the first time). His reviews often belie his genuine reaction. I mean, in this one he even did the excitable, involuntary clap (like an ex-member used to) at one stage.😊
Tbf to Rick it's not that he didn't enjoy it, it's he knew the twist was coming due to the trailer he watched. A problem with trailers nowadays is they give too much away. It was the same with The World's End Trailer. Unfortunately unlike the others he just knew it. If he never saw the trailer he would of probably liked it a lot more
Eric is my spirit animal. I really can't compare the 3 films to each other. Each is great for its own reason. Also, I just can't wrap my brain around the idea of skipping through a film. I sit down and watch a movie from start to finish, even on rewatches. And slow parts of all the films I love are so important to the overall whole.
I think the extra beat before the crazy starts is an artistic choice to purposefully make the audience guess if there actually is a crazy. I think it’s a nice touch.
Hot Fuzz, The Worlds End and Shaun of the Dead are the order I like these movies in. But all three are really smartly written films with lots of set-up, foreshadowing and pay-off. The Cornetto Trilogy is a classic gem.
"what the fuck does 'wtf' mean??" is still one of my favourite lines
I love re-watching this reaction, I really wish Eric was there when they reacted to Hot Fuzz and Sean of the Dead
Edgar Wright is damn good at doing match-cuts, foreshadowing, having a character literally spell out the entire movie in an early scene without you realizing they did it and incredibly well choreographed action sequences. It makes re-watches of the Cornetto trilogy so rewarding without ever detracting from how fun those films are.
simon pegg nailed it as gary king. he's a very underrated actor tbh
THE REASON U DIDN'T LIKE PAUL IS CAUSE EDGAR WRIGHT DIDN'T MAKE IT
Yeah. That one hurt.
Yeah when they said that I shuddered
Paul is only 1 out of 10 compared to the trilogy. Seen it once, no interest in watching it again.
I enjoyed Paul, but I’m sure I would have loved it had Edgar been there.
@@ZrankFappaH same
This is my favourite of the Cornetto Trilogy. This is fantastic. I love Edgar Wright's style of symetrical stories(the titles of the bars in this one foreshadow the encounters they have)and the story was so funny and heartwrenching as well. Gary peaking in high school and trying to recapture the old magic is sad.
So many fantastic lines in this.
"A man of your legendary prowess drinking FUCKIN' RRRRAAAAIIIIINNNN..."
"AH! I FUCKING HATE THIS TOWN!"
"It says "King Gay!"
"They know what we're doing...but they don't know that we know what they're doing...and basically, nobody else knows what to do, so FUCK IT!(Smashes through glass door.)
"I'm human...but I don't know for how much longer.."
"BASIL!!!!"
"SHH!"
EDIT: Laughing now because Steve was friends with Mad Basil. That means King Viserys I and Mad Basil were friends.
"They told me when to go to bed!" broke me
To err is human, so errr is one of my favorites
YES! This is my favorite of the Cornetto trilogy because of how unique it is compared to the others. I've watched it like 3-4 times and every time I see something new that just makes me awe at Edgar Wright's genius.
Glad Eric was able to be here for one of the movies in the trilogy.
32:46 *Gary:* _"Andy! Twist the melon, man!"_ ● As soon as I heard Gary say that, the song _"Step On"_ by *Happy Mondays* immediately popped into my head! 😄 It was played earlier in the film as well.
INVENTED / Man-Made PAP£R WITH INK ON !!!
I HIGHLY recommend watching Cinema Win's videos on the cornetto trilogy, they're very entertaining and you learn so much more about the foreshadowing, camera tricks and jokes in all three of the movies
And I recommend you watch the Critical Drinker podcast with his friends about Hot Fuzz, its really cool
@@techmaster9123 Oh I freakin love Critical Drinker and I didn't know he had a podcast episode about Hot Fuzz, thanks for the video suggestion homie
@@mellow3995 sure mate.. it's a 2 or 3 hours podcast with his friends discussing every detail of the movie, it's super fun
Some easter eggs found in the movie:
The First Post: Where they started the pub crawl
The Old Familiar: Similar looking pub to the first one and where they met O-Man's sister (an old familiar, since Gary, Andrew and her have history).
The Famous Cock: Gary was barred and cock is slang for a jerk/asshole.
The Crossed Hands: Where they met the robots and when they left the pub they crossed hands
The Good Companions: They entered acting like they don't know about the robots to not arouse suspicion (The sign of the pub is of a theatre mask)
The Trusty Servant: Where they met the Reverend Green who is now a crony of the robots
The Two Headed Dogs: Where they met the twins
The Mermaid: Where they met the "Marmalade Sandwich" who are acting as the siren to lure them.
The Beehive: Where they fought in the past and in the present. A place crawling with robots and where Mr Shepard told them about the robots and their hive mind
The Kings Head: They went in after Gary banged his head to the wall to show that he isn't a blank
The Hole in the Wall: The beast ran through the pub creating an actual hole in the wall
The World's End: Where the world ended.
The names of the character are reminiscent of the Knight of the Round Table:
Gary "King": The leader of the group,
Andy "Knight" ley: Gary's trusted best friend and guardian,
Steven "Prince": Gary's rival and 2nd to Gary for Sam,
Oliver "Chamberlain": Chamberlain are household managers and he sells houses,
Peter "Page": a page is a boy in training, Gary said that Peter is someone who the group always look after.
I LOVE THEM ALL. like Eric I was like, this is the best one, after watching it.
But, Hot fuzz just keeps pulling me back in.
All three fantastic, it's like asking whoa your favourite child 🤣
I had no idea this was people's least favorite!! This and Hot Fuzz flip as my fav depending on which one I'm watching!!!
The thing these movies do best is that moment of extreme pain and catharsis amongst the highjinks. Shaun's mum, Danny learning the truth, and Gary's suicide attempt reveal. I think this one is the best of the three, that scene in the World's End is so fucking tragic, and so wonderfully played by Simon and Nick.
Lmao Aaron’s reaction at 18:35 when more and more of the townsfolk are just staring.
First of all, thank you guys for all you do. I loved this film and have been trying to get my buddies to do a safe pub crawl years ago. Sometimes this film is hard to watch because I literally had a friend who had the personality of Gary King. He unfortunately passed away rip. Brings back good memories. Cheers 🍻
I was very fortunate enough to watch the filming of this movie in person seeing the likes of Simon Peg , Nick Frost, Martin Freeman, and Paddy Constantine doing their scenes , all taken place during late 2012 due to the fact i live in the same north Hertfordshire area where this film was mostly being made.
People rank this the worst Cornetto film but it’s definitely my favourite!
Tbf, it's one hell of a trilogy
It’s impossible to picky honestly. It’s honestly a three-way tie for first.
@@MitchFace exactly how I see them, they’re all great movies for very different reasons
TWE is my favorite of the trilogy just for Gary's arc. It's honestly one of the best character progressions ever put to comedy.
This one is definitly better than Shaun of the Dead
This one's def my favorite. I love the character arcs I this and the action is awesome and fun
I like how you guys take notes while watching movies
No one can combine comedy and tragedy like Edgar Wright does. Plus, his whole filming style is super unique. I'd say he's the master of visual comedy at the moment.
This maybe the most underrated one, but it really is sooooooooooo good.
That was the first film I watched in English without subtitles or context AND in England because me and my friends were walking around York and suddenly decided to go to the cinema (I'm not a native speaker). I've had no idea what I'm getting myself into with this movie and when you have no clue that film will have aliens, this plot twist is surprising as hell haha
The music is great in this, in the end when he is shouting to the Bill Nighy voice he quotes “loaded” by Primal Scream which plays at the beginning when he is smiling thinking of doing the golden mile again. The end song is called “happy hour again” I’m sure they are all strategically placed
Finally a World's End reaction. I've been waiting for anyone to react to this. Glad to see this crew first.
Thank you for great reaction, as always) You should watch “Tag” (2018) if you haven’t seen it already, I feel like you would love it
I remember in the behind the scenes feature of this movie that they called the way that the guys could fight while completely hammered “drunk fu”.🤣🤣🤣🤣
I've been rewatching Cornetto trilogy for years now, and each time I do, I notice new things.
See how at 21:20 it's Garry who actually sees Sam first? The callbacks are perfect.
I love this entry in the Cornetto Trilogy. The characters feel more relatable then in Hot Fuzz or Shawn of the Dead. And I love when the thing that sets humanity apart is how much of a bunch of fuckups we are
My favourite of the three, I think. I totally love all of them, but there is just so much to see in this one. I could write an essay on all the visual gags in this - like the fight with the twins taking place in the Two Headed Dog, and the car crashing into the building in the Hole in the Wall. Every re-watch I'll see something new. And the soundtrack is awesome!
The most underrated installment of the trilogy
This is undoubtedly my favourite of the trilogy. I was genuinely surprised to hear it was a lot of people's least favourite.
I can see logically how Hot Fuzz is just... a better complete package.
But, to me, this has basically everything the first two had and more. Better characters, more heart, amazing fight scenes and funnier comedy. I'm not seeing a downside.
This one is my favourite by far. The best fight scenes, best subtle and intelligent humour, and the most emotional, especially if you understand that Gary is cutting himself and that he's wasted years of his life with depression.
So much of what makes me excited whenever I see this is the soundtrack...it fit the theme so well...just song after song from the "young" era...
Edgar Wright never misses when it comes to the soundtrack
YES! FINALLY! I've been waiting so long for this reaction, hands down my favorite of the Cornetto Trilogy, I like that this one is brave enough to have more 'real' moments than the other ones. Blew my mind when I watched this as a kid.
If you watch Spaced it makes it better. It's a sitcom they did together back in the 90s. All the characters make an appearance in the corenetto trilogy! It's on Prime. Edgar Wright, Simon Pegg, and Nick Frost! It's sooo good!
This is one of my favorite movies. As someone from a very small town. going back and feeling things never changed there, but everything feels strange, comparing yourself to friends from that town and thinking back to the hopes and dreams you had at highschool and thinking what happened to you since then. Never saw another film that captured that better.
So excited for this one!
In the intro you can see andy playing sports, maybe rugby? So that explains why he's so good at kicking ass and outrunning the blanks.
Fun fact this film was shot in my home town in the UK!
Wow i did not remember Paddy Considine was in this
Worlds End is the best of the cornetto trilogy, best characters,best story, best everything really. So so unique
The Peter Fonda quote is more of a reference to the song “Loaded” by Primal Scream, which sampled the lines. It was released in 1990 when they would have attempted the pub crawl for the first time - it was a massive anthem back in the day, especially for people around that age. Great reaction as always, I love all three, and anything Edgar Wright has a hand in I go in with high expectations - I would really recommend Spaced, a TV series from the late 90s/early 2000s written by Simon Pegg and Jessica Hynes and directed by Edgar Wright. Loads of familiar faces, including Simon Pegg and Nick Frost, as well as others you’ll recognise as background characters from the Cornetto trilogy.
A film that gets better, an more emotionally impactful with each watch. Each time you rewatch you catch more heartbreaking details, the facility hes in at the beginning, the fact he didnt bring any luggage...
I love the callbacks and the small details in this movie, at the end Gary not only orders water to show that he's gotten that confidence Andy talked about and he's sober, but he's also clean shaven like when he was young, a theory I like is that he had so much facial hair because he wasn't allowed to have razors in the hospital, after his suicide attempt. Him shaving shows his growth too
SO GLAD U GUYS FINALLY REACTED 2 THIS MOVIE LOVE U GUYS! LAST ONE NEEDS TO BE PAUL THE ALIEN
Andy going absolutely BEAST mode halfway through is why this is my favorite of the Cornetto trilogy.
If you liked Nick Frost's fighting skills in this movie you should see him in the "Into The Badlands" TV show he was great in it and it's a great show!
This one grows on you the more you watch it, especially as im older now than when I first watched it.
Love the toilet & pub fight scenes in this, choreographed by Brad Allen (RIP) who worked with Jackie Chan a lot.
"To err is human! So...err..."
Still one of my favorite quotes ever
Now I know why King Viserys Targaryen a.k.a. Paddy Considine a.k.a. Steve is what he is - he's secretly a drunkard.
The guy playing Steven, Paddy Considine is playing King Viserys I in House of the Dragon. Small world haha
World's end is my favorite of the trilogy. An absolute masterpiece.
I never noticed. The Kings Head bar the picture above it is Pegg as a royal.
My favourite details about this film is that every pub is foreshadowing the events that happen within. And they all have a poster, board or sign in the pub with the number it is out of 12. Edgar Wright is my favourite director and everything he does is great! Last Night in Soho should be on the watchlist for you guys!
I got the chance to see this blind, and I'm so glad I did. That reveal was so amazing. and overall I just love this film.
Hot Fuzz is my favourite and is the best movie of the three.
World's End, however, is the best written of the three.
My favourite bit of foreshadowing about their fate is about the Three Musketeers: "If you had Five, two could have died, and you would have three left."
The stunts/action was aided by the late Brad Allan who choreographed many of Jackie Chan’s fights.
Didn’t he also choreographed the Kingsman movies?
Nick Frost - Eric's spirit animal
This is my favourite out of the 3,they are all really good but Gary's character resonates with me. Great music as well.
I think this is my favorite reaction blind wave have done in a while (I love all blind waves reactions but this is a REALLY good one)
I watched World’s End with no idea what it was and I loved it.
I was a bit too young to appreciate this when it came out, now I'm at the same point in life that they were, I definitely enjoy it a lot more.
The world's end is one of my 3 favorite movies. I love all three of the Cornetto trilogy movies. Without Shawn of the dead i never would have watched the second two. So sll three earn my praise. Most of my friends that love movies like hot fuzz the best but the world's end is quite possibly my favorite movie(other two in the running are "the usual suspects" and "role models").
coolest thing is this film was partially filmed in my hometown so ive been in almost every building and walked the streets of this set
I thought I’d have to wait ages for this. Can’t wait to watch it with you guys!
Yes, that is a sword at the end. But I don't think it's just *a* sword, I think it's *the* sword. Because legend says that in its time of great need, The King will return to save the kingdom, leading his Knights on a great quest.
Gary at the end is Arthur reborn. The (Once and Future) King, wielding Excalibur.
