Overview
See production notesIn Toronto, Scott Pilgrim, a 22-year-old bassist for unsuccessful indie garage band Sex Bob-Omb, dates Knives Chau, a 17-year-old high-school student, to the disapproval of his friends in the band, his younger sister Stacey, and his roommate Wallace Wells. Scott meets Ramona Flowers, an American Amazon delivery girl, at Julie Powers’ party, after having first seen her in a dream. Scott loses interest in Knives but does not break up with her immediately before pursuing Ramona. When Sex Bob-Omb plays in a battle of the bands sponsored by record executive Gideon Graves, Scott is attacked by Ramona's ex-boyfriend Matthew Patel. Sex Bob-Omb's competition is incinerated by Matthew's fireball attacks, but Scott defeats him and learns he must defeat Ramona’s remaining six evil exes in order to date her. Scott finally breaks up with Knives, who blames Ramona and swears to win him back by becoming more like Ramona. Scott soon encounters Ramona's second ex, actor and skateboard junkie Lucas Lee. Scott defeats Lucas by tricking him into attempting a grind on a 200-plus step icy railing and crashing explosively. The band is soon asked to open for Clash at Demonhead, whereupon Scott encounters Ramona's third ex, the super-powered vegan bassist Todd Ingram, who is dating Scott's ex, Envy Adams, the lead singer. Scott deceives Todd into drinking half and half, and Todd is confronted by the vegan police and stripped of his powers; Scott then delivers the final blow. Scott then encounters Ramona's fourth ex, bisexual ninja Roxy Richter, and with the help of Ramona, he manages to beat her. Scott's growing frustration soon boils over, and after an outburst regarding Ramona's dating history, she breaks up with him while leaving him a list of her exes. At the next battle of the bands, Sex Bob-Omb defeats Ramona's fifth and sixth exes, techno twins Kyle and Ken Katayanagi, earning Scott an extra life. Despite this, Ramona appears to get back with her seventh and final ex, Gideon. Sex Bob-Omb accepts Gideon's record deal, except Scott, who quits the band in protest, during which their roadie, Young Neil, becomes their new bassist. Gideon invites Scott to his venue, the Chaos Theater, where Sex Bob-Omb is playing. Resolving to win Ramona back, Scott challenges Gideon to a fight for her affection, earning the "Power of Love" sword. Knives interrupts the battle, attacking Ramona, and Scott is forced to reveal that he cheated on both of them. Gideon kills Scott, and Ramona visits him in limbo to reveal that Gideon has implanted her with a mind control device. Scott uses his 1-up to come back to life and re-enters the Chaos Theater. He makes peace with his friends and challenges Gideon, this time for himself, gaining the "Power of Self-Respect" sword. After apologizing to Ramona and Knives for cheating on them and accepting his own faults, Scott joins forces with Knives and they defeat Gideon. Now free from Gideon's control, Ramona begins to leave. Knives accepts that her relationship with Scott is over and, at her encouragement, he runs after Ramona to "try again".
