    Storyline

    Edit

    Edit
    • Trivia
      The four cast members that made up the band "Sex Bob-Omb" spent several weeks learning how to play together as a band. Mark Webber, Alison Pill, and Johnny Simmons all had to learn their instruments from scratch, while Michael Cera had to "dumb down" his bass playing in order to not outshine his band mates.
    • Goofs
      Final Fantasy IV (1991) was released as Final Fantasy 4 in Japan but re-titled as Final Fantasy 2 in the United States and Canada, so Scott got the number right.
    • Quotes

      Scott Pilgrim: When I'm around you, I kind of feel like I'm on drugs. Not that I do drugs. Unless you do drugs, in which case I do them all the time. All of them.

    • Crazy credits
      When the cast is listed during the opening credits, the drawings in the background display little motifs related to the characters they play in the movie:
      • Chris Evans: Lucas Lee's skateboards and the logo for his company
      • Anna Kendrick: Coffee stains and wet mug marks (Stacey Pilgrim works at a coffee shop)
      • Alison Pill: The words "one! two! three! four! (which Kim Pine typically yells to signal the start of a Sex Bob-Omb song) and the Sex-Bob-Omb logo
      • Aubrey Plaza: Black squares (which are used to obscure Julie Powers' mouth whenever she curses)
      • Brandon Routh: Bass guitars (Todd Ingram defeats Scott Pilgrim in a bass duel) and the number 3
      • Jason Schwartzman: The three triangle symbol of Gideon Graves' company and a pair of glasses
      • Ellen Wong: A pair of knives similar to those which Knives Chau uses in the final fight.
      • Kieran Culkin: A cell phone status bar (Wallace Wells can text while sleeping)
      • Johnny Simmons: Rectangles mimicking the design on Young Neil's shirt and his Nintendo DS
      • Michael Cera: Scott Pilgrim's bass strings
      • Mary Elizabeth Winstead: Three different shades of hair, denoting how many times Ramona changes hair color
      • Brie Larson: Broken hearts denoting Envy Adams' cruelty to Scott
      • Mark Webber: Stephen Stills' acoustic guitar.
      • Mae Whitman: Four X's denoting Roxie Richter's position as evil ex number 4 and a razor blade denoting her razor whip
      Additionally, the names of all the actors playing Ramona's evil exes are accompanied by numerous little Xs.
    • Alternate versions
      The test screening showed at the end Scott getting back together with Knives Chau while Ramona continues to walk away. Scott and Knives walk away into the snow.

    Great style

    Scott Pilgrim (Michael Cera) is a slacker hipster in a garage band who's dating high school girl Knives Chau (Ellen Wong). He is self-absorbed and willing to abandon Knives as soon as he meets Ramona Flowers (Mary Elizabeth Winstead). Before Scott can date Ramona, he must defeat her seven exes.

    Scott is a douche. The biggest problem for me is his unlikeability. It runs counter to Cera's usual good guy persona. Everybody is blasé and sarcastic which get some good laughs.

    The best thing about this is the 80s video game visual motif. Edgar Wright brings a fresh hip-without-the-irony sensibility. It also uses Toronto not as New York or as anything other than Toronto. It's refreshing and unique in a world where almost everything is a sequel.
