Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe 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.
- GoofsFinal 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 creditsWhen 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
- Alternate versionsThe 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.

Featured review
There is no other movie quite like Scott Pilgrim. It's like watching a comic book video game put to screen. The action is insane, over the top and super high energy with wonderfully creative framing and visual cues.
Going back and watching it again, it's amazing how many people are in this before they were huge. Brie Larson, Chris Evans, Anna Kendrick just to name a few. The visuals still hold up, as does the pointed commentary on hipsters.
Great music, great action, great performances. It's all around a fantastic experience. The only real downside to me is that it's based on something with a lot of content and in an effort to put a lot in here there are some moments that feel... Off. Areas where the graphic novel likely went into great detail yet the movie has to just sort of pop it in and run with it. These are mostly minor but it still prevents this from being absolutely perfect.
