Edgar Wright: The Definitive Guide To Homages, Influences And References
According to some sources, the choreographed pool-cue beating of John-the-zombie-landlord at the Winchester to the glorious tune of Queens Dont Stop Me Now is a carefully-modelled recreation of the Droogs assault on a homeless man in A Clockwork Orange. However, some disagree on the reference to Kubricks controversial masterpiece, instead believing it to be an idea of Peggs, extrapolated from an Edinburgh bar-room brawl involving himself and British comedian Bill Bailey, who later turns up in Hot Fuzz. Either way, its a cool scene.
