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

By Edward Owen /

The King€™s Head€™s board features a painting of Simon Pegg as its outside sign, referencing that this is in fact the head of Pegg€™s character, Gary King. Similarly, the scene before featured King smacking his head into the wall to prove he was human, thus neatly foreshadowing the name of the pub. On the subject of surnames, Steven€™s surname is Prince, highlighting how he was always Gary King€™s second in command. Of course, by the time the film ends this has been well and truly switched, with Steven winning Sam€™s affections.
