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

yeti When Sex-Bob-omb appear to be on the verge of defeat in the Battle of the Bands Scott pushes the G.E.M pedal, summoning a giant yeti who duels the Katayanagai dragons (themselves a probable reference to the iconic video game Double Dragons.) According to the DVD commentary, the production staff referred to the giant creature Scott summoned as the €˜green-eyed-monster,€™ fitting in with the name of the pedal and also providing a Shakespeare reference. Green-eyed monster is Shakespeare€™s phrase for jealousy in Othello, an emotion that can clearly be seen in Scott when he sees Ramona with the successful Gideon. The fact Ramona€™s hair is also coloured green is just the icing on the cake.
