Gary King is an immature 40-year-old who's dying to take another stab at an epic pub-crawl that he last attempted 20 years earlier.

While things get a tad buckled town in mayhem and special effects throughout the film's busy final reels, Wright spends enough time sketching out his mischievous middle-aged men so...

Total Film
The armageddon-through-beer-goggles approach brings the chuckles, but The World's End stands up as a great example of the genre it ribs. Nostalgic, bittersweet and very, very funny.

QUOTES (4)
ADD QUOTES-
Gary: Drink up. Let's Boo-Boo.
Steven: "Boo-Boo". What is that?
Gary: You remember, "Let's Boo-Boo." You know from Mr Shepherd's classroom, it said on the wall, "Exit, pursued by a bear," you know, from that Shakespeare play?
Steven: A Winter's Tale.
Gary: Yeah. What was it called?
Steven: A Winter's Tale.
Gary: That's it. And if we needed to make a quick getaway, we'd say, "Exit, pursued by a bear," and then it was, "Exit, pursued by Yogi Bear," and then it was just, "Let's Yogi and Boo-Boo," and then, "Let's Boo-Boo." -
Gary: Good evening, Raymondo. The prodigal sons return.
Barman: Eh.
Gary: Who's on the guest list tonight?
Barman: Come again?
Gary: The guest ales. We, sir, are doing The Golden Mile and you have the honour of drawing first blood. What do you recommend?
Barman: There's one. Crowning Glory.
Gary: Rather fitting.
Barman: Hows that?
Gary: I'm Gary King.
Barman: What?
Gary: So tell me more.
Barman: About what?
Gary: Crowning Glory. Is it nutty? Is it foamy? Is it hoppy? Does it have a surprisingly fruity note which lingers on the tongue?
Barman: Hmm. It's beer.
Gary: Mmmm. We'll have five of those, please. -
Landlady: Have you got any plans for dinner at all?
Gary: Tonight we will be partaking of a liquid repast as we wend our way up The Golden Mile. Commencing with an inaugural tankard at The First Post, then onto The Old Familiar, The Famous Cock, The Cross Hands, The Good Companions, The Trusty Servant, The Two Headed Dog, The Mermaid, The Beehive, The King's Head and The Hole in the Wall for a measure of the same. All before the last bittersweet pint in that most terminus, The World's End. Leave a light on, good lady, for though we may return with a twinkle in our eyes, we will, in truth, be blind drunk. -
Oliver: WTF, WTF.
Gary: What the f*** does WTF mean?
Peter: What the f***.
Gary: Ah.
