Scott Pilgrim Plot Flaw

[jugglingfreak]

On the DVD special features, in the "Deleted/extended scenes" Just before Scott's bass blows up, the evil Ex says "That's right, Scott. *I* actually know how to play the bass."

I thought it would have been better with that line left in..

 

[SanDiegoHarry]

Doesn't surprise me at all. Just a reflection of real life, where Ricks also look cool and seem to do the job, but fail you when it counts...

Oh, let the flamage BEGIN!

Scott loses because he sucks.

Just kidding, I LOVE scott pilgrim - I don't like michael cera as scott though, doesn't seem to fit with the comic book.

Hate to mentione it, but it should actually be:
B B B B B B...

 

[EdHunter]

I must say, that was a let down. I could have beaten Señor Pilgrim...

 

[RexNFX79]

They're both playing with picks. They both lose

+1 HAHAHAHAHA!

Easily one of my favorite movies of all time. But let's face it, Scott isn't the best bassist around . The guy smashed the crap out of that Rick' without a second thought and duck taped that sucker back together! Besides that this is the solo that Todd plays in the Scott Pilgrim video game:



I'd say Scott lost that battle the easy way

Good movie, but honestly..

In a bass battle, how could the guy with the Ric not win? The spirit of Lemmy would fly out of the Ric and kick the other guy's butt.

For those that haven't seen - here's the link:

The spirit of Lemmy can't fly out of a Ric, cuz Lemmy aint dead.

Ok then I'll trump you. The spirit of Cliff would fly out of the Ric.

Very glad I didn't see this movie.

Jeesh I can't believe how much the setting of this movie reminds me of my own youth.

- I'm a Canadian who lived in Toronto for ~10 years from about 20 to 30 years old (basically through the 90s).

- Played in a rock band with a bit of a punk influence at that time

- With a Rickenbacker 4001 "burst" (Mine was AutumnGlo & Fretless not Fireglo)

- Played way too much Zelda and other video games

Didn't live with a gay guy though...


Hell, even the artists in the soundtrack are among my favorites (Metric, Broken Social Scene, etc)

I figure I have to get the movie poster for my jam room.

Juuust throwing this out there... Scott borrowed the Bass from his older brother. Read the books guys.

^^^^^^ this^^^^^^^

Plus, Just because you own a Rick doesn't mean that you know how to play it well..

Well that's true but it's such an advantage. A Rick gives;

+4 Skill
+3 Charisma
+2 Sex Appeal and
+1 Luck

(You have to see the movie to get the joke)

I've yet to see the movie, but the comic book bass scenes always made me snicker.

Yeah I agree. Actually that's a line straight from the comic book. But in the comic book they make it a little more clear that Pilgrim really can't play the bass whereas the Vegan is supposed to be quite good. As someone else pointed out, Scott doesn't even own the bass he's just borrowing the thing (indefinately) from his brother.

Scott Pilgrim was a terrific movie probably the best I've seen this year...but hey, at least there were bass solo's in this movie..unlike others
*cough School of Rock *cough

 

[SMILEYSIXX]

Bass battle? Were those supposed to be good solos or something? Michael Cera does not deserve to hold that bass.

you guys were expecting victor wooten vs jeff berlin?

hint: it's a movie and the bass battle was supposed to be funny.

 

[ksihawk7]

They could've just put Marcus Miller in there and killed Scott and the other guy with his epic bass playing.
