Original Movie: Scott Pilgrim vs. The World
Scott flying out the window never fails to make me cackle😂
hey is scott in?
err no he just left..
This and when envy says his hair is getting shaggy and then he gets a hat immediately are my two favorite jokes in the movie lol
AND she MISSED IT!
I'm the trash can and was there. It took 568 billion takes to get the shot perfect.
the behind the scenes is even funnier, he runs off screen and a stunty actually jumps through that tiny window for real
"It's like they tried to turn a comic book into a movie."
Yes... yes, it is.
Never been done before
Chris Evans starred in a raunchy comedy called "Not Another Teen Movie"
Also The Perfect Score, with ScarJo, a high school heist comedy
Came to the comments to mention this same movie. In terms of Chris Evans acting similarly silly, that's the one.
Funny enough, that was his debut film. 😂
Commenting to support this comment. NATM is hilarious.
Don't confuse NATM with other films with similar titles like Epic Movie, Date Movie etc.. They are all dreadful. NATM is genuinely funny.
3:02 "Why hasn't Aubrey Plaza aged at all?"
It's because she drinks the blood of the innocent
Ahh, that explains the dual innocent/demonic vibe she's got going.
Nah iys just cause she's 🇵🇷
Also the Wood Milk
She's a legit witch.
Obviously not her own!
“It made me feel more hopeful about life and… stuff…” That’s most Scott Pilgrimish review of Scott Pilgrim I’ve ever heard 😄
Also, who else loves it when V fact-checks scientific inaccuracies in films?!
and stuff... such a genuine portrayal of a generation
If you want more Scott Pilgrim, there are the comics the movie took inspiration from, and there's also the anime recently released on Netflix. The whole cast came back to voice their characters, it's awesome.
V should react to it. It's the perfect companion piece to the movie.
I came here to say this, and heartily agree with you. The Netflix show was an awesome addition to the lore and universe.
The anime IIRC is more of a sequel to the original books than anything else, so she'd probably want to read them before going on to the anime.
@@Ambaryerno Eh, I didn't. And I followed it just fine.
Yo forgot the videogame
I'm in lesbians with this movie.
I really, really mean it.
Uh WTF what can you repeat I thin there are a few typos.
@@jonathancunningham8739Have you not seen the movie? Or even this video that had the relevant parts, where Scott mistakes the l-word as “lesbian” and tells Ramona “I’m in lesbians with you.”
@@jonathancunningham8739someone didn’t watch the movie 😂😂
@@jonathancunningham8739 r/whoosh
@@jonathancunningham8739 Shame on you.
Brie Larson was a popstar BEFORE she became an actress.
The song is 'Black Sheep' by Metric.
The Clash At Demonhead cover IS actually sung by Brie Larson.
Metric fairly recently released the full HD Brie Larson version on their TH-cam channel.
Before that it was also on Edgar Wrights TH-cam channel
th-cam.com/video/RAut3N1uZuI/w-d-xo.html
It's also been out on the official soundtrack release for years now + streaming platforms. I remember torrenting it lol
funny because when this movie dropped Metric was THE top Indie band at the time so it made perfect sense for The Clash At Demonhead to do their song.
Im in love with her version more than the original.
The vegan police has to be one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen!!
Thomas Jane and Clinton Collins busting in for a hilarious cameo! Their high-five as they leave always cracks me up 🤣🤣🤣
No vegan diet, no vegan powers! 🥬
@@LordVolkov Clifton Collins Jr's grandfather was Pedro Gonzalez. Pedro appears in several John Wayne films
I could never get over the fact one of the vegan police was formerly “The Punisher” too lol
Oh yeah, I was dying 😂
The guy who directed this also directed the Cornetto trilogy (Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz and The World’s End).
If you haven’t seen them, they’re good fun!
Absolutely she should watch Cornetto
Another great movie directed by Edgar Wright is “Baby Driver”
@@aaronhusk I still have to see both that and Last Night in SoHo.
Long live Edgar Wright...!
I'll co-sign this, some of the best comedy films I've ever seen, they're an absolute must-watch
"is Scott here?"
*Crash*
"He just left."
One of the greatest moments in movie history. Absolutely brilliant.
What people don't realize about Nega Scott the first time they watch the movie is that he's not an evil version of Scott. He's the complete opposite because Scott is shown to be a horrible person.
Only because about 80% of Scott's background and character development got cut from the film.
Scott's not a BAD person. His biggest flaw is he's afraid of conflict and facing difficult decisions. He doesn't want to hurt people, so waffles on things like breakups, which just ends up making it worse. On top of all of this, Gideon was directly manipulating him - including outright altering his memory - throughout the story. And Negascott isn't his opposite. He's the personification of Scott's flaws and darker side. By accepting/befriending Negascott (book/comic respectively) it's Scott acknowledging his problems and finally taking responsibility for them. That's why after Scott is able to put his life in order and make amends with the people he hurt (especially Kim and Knives).
The key to understanding the story is: ALWAYS LISTEN TO WALLACE. Wallace is the barometer for how you should be feeling about Scott in any given moment. Wallace is always honest with Scott, even if it's brutal honesty, and he's always RIGHT. So when Wallace is on Scott's side (IE how much Wallace despises Envy) that's a very important clue.
Scott calls him a great guy, because Nega Scott is everything Scott isn't 🤣🤣🤣
@@Ambaryerno I dunno, how he treated Kim and how he beat her boyfriend up kinda says differently. His aloofness covers how much of a dick he is and though the movie softened him, opening it with 'he's dating a high schooler' sets the idea that you shouldn't like him pretty firmly in place. So when he fights and comes to terms with Nega-Scott (who he can't win against) it's more him ACCEPTING that he's been an asshole to quite a few people in his life and then making a change as opposed to making peace as he does in the movie. He has to see himself as the piece of shit first before he can begin to change it. The movie is fine and does about a good a job as it can having been made before the story was completed, but I think the metaphors in the comic work far better to illustrate the point, and the fact that Gideon has his own 'evil' exes who are just women who didn't like him anymore paints him as something Scott could easily become if it weren't for him changing.
@@kayearcher8407 It's was pretty much stated that Scott's self-serving memory of "saving" Kim from an abusive boyfriend or whatever was the result of Gideon directly altering his memory. We also saw Scott being affected by the Glow by that point in the book, as well to reinforce it.
And acceptance and making peace with yourself pretty much go hand-in-hand. Consider the difference in the situations between Scott and Ramona:
Scott is kind of oblivious to the hurt he unintentionally causes. He needs to accept that as a first step to making things right. Ramona, however, ALREADY acknowledges that she's not been a very good person (again, as with Scott I don't think she's necessarily a BAD person, per se, but she still hurt a lot of people because of her own carelessness about others' feelings). However, it's because she can't make peace with herself that she's stuck in a cycle of painful relationships. She feels that the pain is going to be inevitable and self-sabotages herself. It's also part of what Gideon uses to trap her in her own head with the Glow, and allows him to control her.
Both Scott and Ramona needed to make peace with what they'd done in the past to actually be able to move on: Scott doing so when he accepted Negascott allowed him to avoid the cycle of self-loathing that Ramona trapped herself in altogether. Ramona finally learning that just because she hurt people in the past doesn't mean she doesn't deserve a chance to be happy herself is vital to her breaking free from Gideon's control of her for good.
And it's not so much the filmmakers not knowing how the book was going to end that undermines the story's message, but simply just how complicated all of these layers of their growth are, and not being able to fit it into a 2 hour runtime. Remember, as important as the Glow is in the book as early as the first volume, it's pretty much dropped in the adaptation in favor of Gideon more literally controlling her.
Honestly, this is a story that would probably be best served in a series format than as a movie, but from what O'Malley said whil the Anime was in development it doesn't sound like we're going to see another straight adaptation any time soon.
if only women, would not enter a diffrent relashinship in general is what women do before actually ending the last.
So Scot is not a bad guy,
Fun Fact: The movie was being filmed as the author of the comics Bryan Lee O'malley was still finishing up the story for the final comics, he originally planned for Scott to end up with Knives even after having saved Ramona but then decided to change it to him and Ramona ending up together, aswell as fighting Nega Scott and there being a bigger presence of him throughout the movie/comic
The movie originally filmed Scott ending up with Knives based on his initial plan as well, but it didn't test well with audiences, so they did reshoots and changed it to Ramona, and it tested much better.
IIRC O'Malley's plan was always for Scott and Ramona to end together, it was just the filmmakers didn't know that so that's why the film leaned more into developing their relationship.
The alternate ending is on TH-cam (or at least it used to be) and yeah it just doesn't feel right, Scott ending up with Knives.
@@hellomark1 He's not good/cool enough for her...
“I can’t put my finger on it but I like how this is done” I think that’s the Edgar Wright magic
“[Matthew’s performance] is difficult to get through” BLASPHEMY! It’s amazing!
There’s actually an alternate ending where Scott does get back with Knives. It tested poorly.
“I want a show” Good news! There’s one on Netflix!
I ship Knives / NegaScott
I really, really dislike that ending. "Oh hey let's end the movie with Scott regressing". Can't get over that.
yesssssss
@@RenoisticCould please explain in what way Scott regressed? I didn't see anything like that.
@underAtack they probably meant the scott and knives alt ending. weird for scott to learn his lesson only to go backwards to salvage a fake relationship with knives he had no real stakes in
My favourite line in this film goes so under the radar...
"My stupid ex girlfriend"
"The Uma Thurman movie?"
Genius
Lol yup.
The line "Big Fan." "Why wouldn't you be" came from a meeting between director Edgar Wright and the lead singer of the Hives.
“Tell it to the cleaning lady on Monday” is my go to line for the last 15 years 😂
Only works on fridays.
"its like they tried to make a comic book into a movie" uh no that's exactly what they did. it is a comic.
YOU: I’m surprised/ shocked I’ve never seen this before!
Every time 😅
No, no, but it's like they made the MOVIE into a comic book, but it's a movie.
Didn't they take the comic and make a game then turn that game into a movie?
This reactor is so full of isht. She has definitely seen this before. It was one of her ex's favorite movies actually. She's so insanely fake it's laughable
@@mikethemotormouth i don't think the comics were done by the time this movie went into filming. but the game was out. hence the super heavy game influences.
Also remember Knives is 18 at the end of the movie. Scott was invited to her birthday that he didn't attend. It was never stated but time passed and she aged.
grooming is bad buddy
@@ValerieKnight-oj5sq 18
@@ScratchJoe 18 makes it okay?
@@IllustriousCrocoduck Assume you're not allowed to make your own decisions at 18 where you're from?
@@ScratchJoe just because it's legal doesn't mean it's moral. Clearly this 18 yo Knives is perfectly stable and sane.
"she's a really good groupie!" is a crazy statement lmaoo
This movie unironically has one of the best soundtracks ever
Mary Elizabeth Winstead (Ramona) is married to Ewan McGregor (Obi-Wan Kenobi) and also played Hera Syndulla in the Ahsoka series!!
This is the way.
She's also in Sky High
@myklegue3968 - and he has a shirt that says "I'm In Lesbians With Her" that he wears around her, too.
@@cregerzone07 also a bit *awkward* situation
@@cjg2k thats the correct type of wholesome
30:25 "It made me feel more hopeful about life...and stuff." "...and stuff" - exactly!
The scene where Michael Cera runs out of frame, and then proceed to jump out the window, is my favorite joke in this movie 😂😂
"Okay, this is pretty rad." is a great synopsis of this film.
Full version of the Brie Larson song is on Spotify btw. Black Sheep - Brie Larson Vocal Version
Honestly this is one of the best comic movies made. The cinematography, the fight choreography, the acting (even though Cera was basically just himself), the visual effects are all just so good.
A good line that encapsulates Scott Pilgrim is that, in the comics, when Ramona says "Scott, I think you're the nicest guy I've ever dated." Scott replies, "That's kind of sad."
It's in the movie too
@@vampire_catgirl holy shit you're right, no idea why I blanked that out of my mind
@@user-sz9my7oz7r Probably because it's not heard in this video
The director is Edgar Wright. He's a frequent collaborator with Simon Pegg and Nick Frost and helmed the Cornetto (sp?) Trilogy (Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz, and The World's End). You should also give Last Night in Soho a try.
Captain America, Captain Marvel, Superman, and Katara among others. This movie has an incredible cast!
Let's not forget Johnny Storm and Ray Palmer ;-)
This is unironically one of my favorite movies ever made. It’s just such a good time and so well put together/unique.
This is written and directed by Edgar Wright, who brings his amazing style and energy to all his movies. You need to watch Baby Driver and the “Cornetto Trilogy”, which is a series of movies connected only by the appearance of a Cornetto ice cream. They are “Shaun of the Dead”, “Hot Fuzz” and “The World’s End”, all of which star and are co-written by Simon Pegg.
11:47 "I actually dated Scott in high school." There you go; that answers your earlier question. Your instincts were right.
Oh Fun Fact #2: Matthew Pattel is Evil Ex #1, he holds up 1 finger in his intro, he has one eye showing, he's worth 1000 points, he gives 1.11 coins
Lucas Lee: is Evil Ex #2, he points with 2 fingers, his logo is 2 2's combined ETC.
Every Ex has a number thing
13:21 Has nobody recommended "Not Another Teen Movie" to you? 😢 It's not only a great Chris Evans comedy but possibly the funniest ever.
You might be interested to know that Michael Cera and Aubrey Plaza met on set for this movie for the first time, and hit it off, and they dated for a couple years afterwards. And yes, based on a comic book. The music for the movie was mostly written by Beck. There's a ton of easter eggs throughout this movie. Could go on forever. If you like this movie, you might like other Edgar Wright movies. EDIT: If you want more, the cast has reunited for a cartoon series.
Netflix recently did an anime of this, with the original cast voicing the characters. Hard to say which is better, since the stories are different, but it was good.
You're close, Vicki. The "Kick@55" movie stars the guy who played "McLoving" in "Superbad" along with Michael Cera. Definitely a movie worth watching!
Micheal Cera did not play in Kick-Ass.
@@jean-paulaudette9246 He meant that Christopher Mintz-Plasse played Fogle/McLovin in Superbad, also starring Michael Cera.
There's a Scott Pilgrim vs. The World side-scrolling beat-em up game. It's really good.

Movie has an alternate ending where he ends up with knifes
Knives, not knifes
That’s sucks. Knives deserves better
It was the original ending, in fact. The filmmakers had no idea how O'Malley was going to end the story until the final volumes came out during production, so they kind of scrambled to redo it. That's why the film after Todd departs so much more from the story than the first half.
one of the greatest things you will ever see
I LOVED everything about this movie!
@@VKunia React “Hellboy”
@@VKuniaI think it might be the perfect movie. What's even better is that you catch something new everytime you watch it.
I furst watched Scott Pilgram vs. The World in 2010 while I was in college. After the first watch, I was blown away and watched it prolly 20 more times before I graduated in 2011. The music is amazing. The effects are so unique and awesome. And it's hilarious! It's 100% a rewatchable movie 100x over.
I guess some people did not get the joke regarding names. One friend is STEPHEN STILLS and the other is YOUNG NEAL (Neal Young).
If you watch Star Wars Ahsoka, the lady that plays Ramona Flowers plays Hera. In real life she is also married to Ewan McGreggor who played Obi Wan.
One of the few movies that reps Toronto and doesn't pretend to be NYC etc. Such a funny movie. And Ramona is more recently known as General Hera Syndulla on Ahsoka. :)
At this point, I’m happy with anything that doesn’t revolve around California or New York as if those are the only two places that exist in western civilization. Can I assume you’re Canadian, given the way you addressed the Toronto thing? I ask because I may or may not follow up by bashing the hell out of those two states I mentioned if you confirm. (I figure you’re probably less likely to get all defensive about those two places-places I utterly despise-if you’re not American.)
@@Armaldo468 No idea why you want to use V's page to vent about NY and CA. But you do you. I won't bother reading it.
So! Fun things.
1. Based on a 6-part graphic novel series. Very fun. Has a different ending and many differences, so the movie gets to stand alone a bit.
2. Has a Netflix animated series! Also another story. Recommend reading the comic first.
3. The cast still has an email group that they will occasionally use. This caused them to all get back together to voice the animated series.
Anyways this is the best movie.
During the pandemic they got nearly everyone together to do a zoom reading of the script
The first half of the movie follows the book fairly closely. It's only the parts after the fight with Todd that begins to depart, and that's because the final books hadn't been released until the film was already in production.
"I want a show" she says. Who's gonna tell her about the Scott Pilgrim anime with all the original cast members that just launched on Netflix last year?
Chris Evens was in "Losers" (2010). Not a "comedy" but his character is pretty funny. Definitely worth the watch.
I like that 3 actors in this movie played superheroes in their own films.
1. Brie Larson (Capt. Marvel)
2. Chris Evans (Capt. America)
3. Brandon Routh (Superman Returns, 2006)
There is so much behind the scenes in this movie.
In fact, the DVD of this movie has a Trivia Subtitle option that tells you all the little details.
One of my faves is the way Scott just materializes a hat out of nowhere whenever anybody mentions his hair.
Also, nobody blinks, ever. The director wanted it to feel like a comic and people in comics don't blink so none of the actors were allowed to blink in their scenes.
so strange that to americans 17 with 22 is a problem when in my school most 15-16 year old girls had friends who was in their 30s xD (cause we were to "childish" for them ... well whatever they like i say xD)
Friends or lovers?
My wife and I had a weekend getaway in Toronto and went to Casa Loma. We went up those steps (and it is a long set of stairs) and when we got to the top we came across the setup for filming that part of the movie. It was late April but they made the area look like it was January.
FINALLYYYYYY U’VE WATCHED THE MOST UNDERATED MOVIEEEEE EVER OF ALLLL TIMEEEEEEE🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥LOVE UR VIDS also my childhood movie
I've always wanted a sequel to this movie. It's a standalone masterpiece in its own right.
Growing up means realizing that every character is awful.
Neil is alright, as is Kim 😅
"Hit him with a slab of meat." LOL, loved that.
Hey Vkunia, I would like to recommend you to watch the Bollywood Movie PK. It is a really great movie about an alien trying to understand human society and his comedically great conclusions. 😊😊
I love how subtly deep this movie is. Notice he's wearing the "Zero" shirt when he fights Ramona's third evil ex? And a 4 1/2 shirt later before he fights the Katiyanagi twins? The battle scars of each break-up make the new relationship all the more difficult to... well, "overcome," in a sense. There's deeply rooted themes about not forcing your personal experiences to define you ("Scott earned the power of love! Scott earned the power of self-respect!") Glad you liked this movie, really. One of my favorites. It's hidden from most, for some reason
As others said, the movie is based on a comic book.
There is also a cartoon-ish Netflix series, Scott Pilgrim Takes Off, with the cast of the movie voicing the characters
If you’re interested, there is an Scott Pilgrim anime that came out recently.
Glad you liked it so much! Idk what it is but I just really love everything about it...
Scott Pilgrim started off as a graphic novel, then the movie got made, then a game, and last year there was even an animated series released on Netflix, so enough Scott Pilgrim content to check out!
The writer got inspiration from games and the Toronto indy rock scene so they both have a big part in the movie.
The Brie Larson song is on Spotify! Total banger!
The artist Beck (from songs like Loser and Wow) helped a lot with the music in the movie.
Girl!!! This movie is amazing, if you want more, actually like 6 months ago they released an animated series with unique story following the events of the movie! An absolutely everyone from the cast came back to voice their characters! One of my favorite series as well
Thomas Jane (one of the vegan police played the Marvel character, The Punisher.
Brandon Routh (Ramona's ex-boyfriend/Envie's boyfriend, Todd) played D.C. comics character, Superman in Superman Returns, as well as Captain Atom in D.C.'s Legends Of Tomorrow.
Brie Larson played Marvel comics' Captain Marvel.
Chris Evans played The Human Torch in The Fantastic Four movies as well as Captain America, both Marvel characters.
Aubrey Plaza played the Marvel character Lenny in Legion.
Also, not exactly superhero related, by Mae Whitman who played Roxy Richter is the voice of Katara from Avatar: The Last Airbender. With Aubrey Plaza being a voice actress in the sequel series as well, Legend of Korra.
they did a cast reading of this during the pandemic or sometime before that was really good. they had most of the cast show up. also there's an animated series, i think still in development for netflix. I haven't checked up on it since it was announced
It's out! It released fall last year
Yes, it was a comic first, then a movie, then a video game, then an animated series.
During covid they reunited via stream and did a reading of the script performance online. You can find it online.
This movie is based off a comic book that has a video game style aesthetic. There is an alternate cut of the ending where he ends up with Knives. There are no sequels, but there is a Netflix cartoon (Scott Pilgrim Takes Off) that only just came out recently, and does an alternate telling of the story, where something goes wrong which causes the story to be different, and is told from Ramona's perspective (it is voiced by the same cast as this movie.
My favourite summary of this movie (and other sadaptations of it) is something along the lines of: "the flawed journey of flawed characters trying the best to find their way through life", I wish I remembered who said it
the comics started first, there are 6 volumes, that run wasn't done when production for the movie started so it deviates from the comics. So comics first, then movie, then Video Game, then in 2023 they put out Scott Pilgrim Takes Off, an anime, which is a reimagining of the same story in really fun and interesting ways! So there's no sequel, but the anime is fantastic and has the cast back from the movie and Edgar Wright is involved too!
This movie is so great. The way everything is cut and edited makes it feel like both a comic book and an anime. It has so much energy to it. Also a couple fun facts. 1st, the movie is absolutely slammed with Easter eggs. If you pay close attention, you'll see numbers throughout the movie counting up to 7, representing the ex Scott is about to fight. You'll also see X's throughout the movie. There's so much more that makes this movie one of the most rewatchable movies because every time you'll see a new thing. Another thing this movie was being made before the last volume of the graphic novel was released, so Edgar Wright had to go along with notes the author had but also ended up influencing the end of the graphic novel. Lastly, originally, Scott was supposed to end up with Knives in the end, but it had bad reception during the test screening, so they changed that part to Scott and Ramona staying together
Now u should totally watch Scott Pilgrim Takes Off! It's an anime adaptation that released last year and brought back nearly the entire cast of the movie. I love it so much, and honestly kinda 'completes' the movie and comic in a sorta way.
Great reaction, I saw it in my feed and just had to watch it straight away.
Talk about a comic book crossover!
Captain Marvel
Superman/The Atom
Captain America/Human Torch
Huntress
Robin
The Punisher
The Spot
Batgirl
Lenore “Lenny” Busker/a future Marvel witch
Aubrey was also in the marvel FX show legion which is based on the x-men.
@@crazyfreakinmadness I knew i was missing something with her!
Vicky, you asked about comedies with Chris Evans. A famous one is "Not Another Teen Movie."
I love this movie so much. I saw it in theaters, was actually suppose to go with friends but at the last minute they said they weren't going anymore, but turns out they did go they just didn't want me to go with so i was all sad and stuff and my mom immediately dropped what she was doing that day and took me to go see it.
I wish this movie did better when it first came out but I'm glad to see its kinda got a following now.
6:45 it's not a dream, it's that "sub-space highway thingy" she mentions when delivering the package they never explain it in the movie so basically there's a pocket universe, you see it a few times with scott as a "dream" or when he first sees Ramona or even when she pulls the hammer from her purse. Not everyone can use the doors or even see them or even knows any of it exists.
Knives is 18, they broke up on her birthday
It's sad they didn't develop it more, because it's a pretty important part of Gideon's plans. Especially because of its connection to the Glow.
Summary of this movie:
Michael Cera wants to date Ewan McGregor's wife so he fights an Indian goth kid, punk Steve Rodgers, Superman, Katara if she was white and lesbian, 2 japanese guys that do nothing because their actors didnt speak English, and the Spot from spiderverse.
He gets an assist from The Punisher with Superman, who is dating his ex, Captain Marvel.
24:11: Actually Level 7.
And you noticed it on the second go-round, sorry.
27:07: "Ooh, the Power of Self-Respect is more powerful than the Power of Love!"
Yep. Because you can't truly love someone else if you don't love yourself, and love starts with respect.
One of my favourites too! Great story (its adapter from comics which is longer), great cast, great action and both comic and video game references. The cherry on top is Edgar Wright's directorial style. He's amazing at fitting comedy into the screenplay itself and not just in the lines.
There is not a sequel, but there is an AMAZING animated show that has the entire cast back for voices. It's the perfect follow-up that honors both the movie and the animated roots of the story. I highly recommend it whether you watch for the channel or not.
The Anime IS a sequel, just more to the book itself than to the film.
@Ambaryerno I guess that depends on how you look at it. I see it as more of an AU story than a sequel. Like a marvel "what if..."
@@AndrewCBateman Trying to avoid spoilers for V, but it's really more like Days of Future Past with a touch of Quantum Leap.
This movie was so amazing. One of the greatest adaptations ever even though it gets weird towards the end. I really enjoyed rewatching it with you like this.
If you're wanting more, you're in luck! There's the graphic novel series (which technically started first) and there's a new Netflix animated series with all the movie actors reprising their voiced roles. You also don't have to worry about things getting repetitive. The graphic novel, movie, and animated series are all different from each other in their own ways.
- So this is indeed an adaptation of a very good graphic novel series.
- Chris Evans actually has impeccable comedic timing. Some of his early movies from the 90s are great.
- There's actually an alternative ending where Scott stays with Knives at the end, but preview audiences didn't go for it, so they changed it.
First it was a song by Plumtree (notice Scott wearing a Plumtree t-shirt?), then it was a comic, then a movie which co-released with the video game.
FINALLY....someone who knows this reference. Four high school girls from Halifax, Canada formed Plumtree in 1993. The song "Scott Pilgrim" was a single from their second full-length "Plumtree...Predicts The Future" (literally), released in 1997.
@@normanyee8013 It was first on their "Preserving Wildlife" 7" EP released in January of 1996, in a slightly different version than the one released in 97. It's an interesting EP: Side A is 45 RPM with one song (Scott Pilgrim) while side B has two songs at 33 RPM.
@@andrewcharles459 Yes I thought they did an earlier version. I should have that kicking around somewhere. They also did a mini-reunion right around the time of the film's release, playing this song; it's available somewhere on youtube. That Halifax music scene in the 90s was incredible. At that time, some pop culture publication had dubbed Halifax the coolest city in Canada (or perhaps North America), due to that music scene. Plumtree and Jale, still are, among my favorite bands to come out of that scene.
@@normanyee8013 I was only in Halifax from 84 to 88, so I missed it. In truth I never heard of Plumtree until after they had broken up, which is a shame. It took the post 2000 internet to awaken me to the Indie scene.
If you loved this, you should check out the animated series "Scott Pilgrim Takes Off." All the actors from the movie came back to voice their characters, and it's a very interesting retelling of the story and exploration of the characters.
(Also Gideon was the voice of Spot in Spiderverse)
Fun fact: *Kieran Culkin* is *Macaulay Culkin’s brother* in real-life, whom he starred as *Fuller,* *Kevin’s cousin* in the 2 films: *HOME ALONE (1990) & HOME ALONE 2: LOST IN NEW YORK (1992).*

Definitely need to watch Scott Pilgrim Takes off next
Chris Evans was in Not another teen movie, and The Losers. Both ridiculously funny, but the teen movies obviously a huge parody movie, and the losers is more of an actiony movie.
I saw this when it came out and I couldn’t breathe I was laughing so hard at the hard-cut editing, I think I saw Hot Fuzz prior but I was too young at the time to pick up on directors and their styles. Edgar Wright has made my fav movies ever.
I had the same favorite movie for about 20 years. Scott Pilgrim was the first to replace it. It's still my favorite movie.
If you want another excellent movie adaptation of a comic book, I would recommend "Sin City" from 2005.
In the comic, Gideon originally wanted to use Ramona for her ability to travel through hyperspace.
Scott is actually not a good guy for most of the story, but he is the best fighter in Canada
gotta love Edgar Wright movies. The super dynamic style and awesome transitions are just awesome!
There's also a really fun animated netflix series about this show that came out not so long ago
This movie has always been my favorite of all time. Great comedy, action, music, story, and romance.
What a lovely authentic music in the opening.
Also V, you should definitely watch the behind the scenes clip with Cera's no look book throw into the trash can, it was really a hard-earned shot.
This movie is one of those polar-reviewed types, that split the audience in two groups with people adore it and people who totally hate it. I can relate that it's comic books and 8-bit gaming is not for everyone, but regardless I think it has one of best filming techniques, the screen cuts, the camera, the lighting, the visuals - all top-notch stuff.
I've also been a huge fan of The Expanse show for a while (the best sci-fi show of all time, if you ask me). And then recently in a random re-watch I found that Thomas Jane was portraying a Vegan Police officer - that was a surprise 🤣
Pardon my English, I'm not a native speaker.
Two Avengers and Superman are in this movie, always blows my mind.
Totally love this movie too, it's easily my favourite movie, I watch it religiously at least twice a year.
If you get a chance, now that you've seen the movie version, go watch the anime series made a few months ago that puts a totally different spin on it (14 years later, and all the actors came back to voice their characters).
one of the best music / comedy movies of all time. Director Edgar Wright was the only only in the world who was able to create the perfect comic adaptation. The editing ist from another world, which is no surprise since Wright comes from directing music videos in the early days.
There is a Scott pilgrim anime and the entire cast from the movie came back for it!
I re-watched this movie so many times...then started watching reactors watching it...if there's an afterlife I'll probably watch it there too.
So many little details you catch in subsequent viewings it never gets old.
Reading the comic after the movie really helps understand the full meaning of the story. A lot of details are sorta brushed over in the movie. Basically, Scott is an asshole. He's not a good friend or boyfriend or band mate. He has repressed memories from highschool when he would beat up Kim's boyfriend and stole her from him, and instead he remembers a donkey Kong type scenario where he has to fight his way up the school and rescues Kim from a bad guy at the rooftop. The video game visuals you see are Scott's mind coping with guilt and self loathing. Because he's really into old video games.
I hope you react to the Netflix series. When it was announced, I thought it was going to be a more accurate adaptation of the source material, but it's basically it's own thing, and I love it.
