Edgar Wright: The Definitive Guide To Homages, Influences And References
The Kings Heads board features a painting of Simon Pegg as its outside sign, referencing that this is in fact the head of Peggs 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, Stevens surname is Prince, highlighting how he was always Gary Kings second in command. Of course, by the time the film ends this has been well and truly switched, with Steven winning Sams affections.
