Don't worry – you can visit the new Sonic Boom at 215 Spadina Avenue in Downtown Toronto. Now both Ed's and the original record store have disappeared. After filming, in 2011, the store moved to new premises – unfortunately inside Honest Ed’s!. The (real) record store, which stood at 512 Bloor Street West, was temporarily restored to the way it looked in the comic book. They are soon back to Bloor Street, inside Sonic Boom record store, where the CD of Clash At Demonhead stirs up painful memories for Scott. The Goodwill Store was 585 St Clair Avenue, west of Bathurst Street, more than a mile to the north, and – needless to say, now gone. There’s a crafty cut masked by a passer-by. Scott and Knives pass by Pizza Pizza, and briefly pop into the Goodwill Store, which you might assume is alongside the pizza place. And, as you can see from the photo, that store is no more. The pizza place frequented by Scott and his pals is Pizza Pizza, 558 Bloor Street West at the corner of Bathurst Street which, as you can see in the film, stood opposite the landmark Honest Ed’s discount store. Scott Pilgrim vs The World film location: the pizza place: Pizza Pizza, Bloor Street West, Toronto Interiors, including of course that endlessly extending front room for the opening credits, were created in the studio. Which is a shame, I thought it looked so good. There’s not really an apartment there – that’s nothing more than the basement rubbish collection area. The basement 'secret lair' Scott shares with Wallace ( Kieran Culkin) is 65 Alberta Avenue, at Tyrrel Avenue in Regal Heights, northwest Toronto. Toronto is for once playing itself – now there’s a rarity. Where possible, the film keeps to the specified locations. "Not so long ago, in the mysterious land of Toronto, Canada." runs the opening title, and author O’Malley used real Toronto locations as a basis for the drawings. Bags of energy and gaming visuals in Edgar Wright’s whizzbang adaptation of the graphic stories by Canadian author and artist Bryan Lee O'Malley, with geeky Scott Pilgrim ( Michael Cera) having to overcome seven evil-exes before he can date Ramona Flowers ( Mary Elizabeth Winstead).
