Trivia
Amy Bowles, a guitarist in multiple Toronto bands, was the inspiration for Envy Adams in the Scott Pilgrim comic series. While meeting for Scott Pilgrim vs. the World (2010), Bowles happened to ride her bicycle near Edgar Wright and Bryan Lee O'Malley, and said hello. O'Malley was speechless, and only later explained his stupefaction at Wright knowing him.

"The greatest western ever made...in Somerset"

"The greatest western ever made...in Somerset"

Edgar Wright's official directorial debut, because for some mysterious reason his high school "Dead Right" doesn't count, is a parody of the spaghetti westerns, with an obvious emphasis on Leone, Eastwood, and even Morricone's music. The film is low(no)budget and the actors are amateur kids, as is the author himself, but you can already see all the elements that characterize his future masterpieces. From his trademark parody stories, through completely wacky characters and silly dialogues, to specific directing and editing, and refined sense of rhythm and detail. The humor is very reminiscent of Monty Python and, although it has some good and original jokes, it is mostly worn out and forced, but when you take into account the age, (in)experience and budget of the author, this film is astonishingly good.
