10 Things You Never Noticed In The Cornetto Trilogy

3. Appropriate Pub Names (The World's End)

Technically a lot of these hidden jokes are very smart, in that they're hidden so well within the films that you're not supposed to notice them at all. In fact they're actually pretty obvious jokes, it's just their existence isn't very obvious, like the fact that each of the pubs the group in The World's End visit on their Golden Mile crawl each feature decorations based around what number pub they're at (the third one has the number three everywhere, the fifth people keep mentioning five, that sort of thing). That's a tic that Wright carried over from non-Cornetto film Scott Pilgrim Vs The World, where each of the evil exes Michael Cera fought were emblazoned with their "number" and the scenes featured loads of references to them. Back in The World's End, meanwhile, you can get a pretty good idea of what's going to happen in each drinking establishment before it actually happens. They start at The First Post, and move onto the remarkably similar looking Old Familiar; Gary is finally recognised at The Famous Cock; the first fight happens in The Cross Hands; they all drink in unison at The Good Companion; they hook up with drug dealer Reverend Green at The Trusted Servant; the twins turn up at the Two-Headed Dock, and are seduced into destruction at The Mermaid; swarms of enemies attack at The Beehive; Gary makes a last stand at The King's Head, a car is driven through The Hole In The Wall, and the apocalypse begins at...The World's End.
