Edgar Wright: The Definitive Guide To Homages, Influences And References

By Edward Owen /

The fight itself is another homage to The Warriors €“ albeit in a different film €“ by Wright, where a similar fight takes place in a toilet between the Warriors and The Punks. An exact copy shot-for-shot copy of the scene comes when A Warrior throws a punk into a toilet currently occupied by an embarrassed woman. Steven does something similar with a Blank, throwing him into the toilet where Peter is hiding, leaving him in a similarly distressed manner. There€™s also a bunch of obvious Casino Royale references, what with all the bathroom porcelain going flying during the particularly frenetic sequences.
