T-shirts in movie: Paul

Paul – it’s a 2011 British-American science fiction comedy road film directed by Greg Mottola and written by and starring Simon Pegg and Nick Frost about… Star Wars fans!

Graeme’s Empire Strikes Back Shirt

Graeme Willy who accompanied the author, Clive Gollings, in the movie Paul, is wearing an Empire Strikes Back t-shirt in the above image. As most people know, The Empire Strikes Back, is a famous Star Wars film.

Graeme’s Eightball Shirt

In the above image, Graeme Willy (Simon Pegg) is wearing an Eightball t-shirt. Eightball is a comic series by the cartoonist Daniel Clowes. If the name, Daniel Clowes, sounds familiar to you, it might be because the movie Ghost World (starring Scarlett Johansson) was based off of an Eightball serialized story line.

Ok, that brings us back to the shirt Simon Pegg is wearing in the above image. That shirt is from a single story issue of Eightball, which featured a character called ‘Deathray.’ Unfortunately, we were unable to locate this t-shirt anywhere.

Graeme’s Invincible Shirt

As you can see here, Graeme Willy (Simon Pegg) is wearing an ‘Invincible’ shirt in the movie, Paul. “Who/what is invincible,” you ask? Invincible, aka Mark Grayson, is a superhero from the Image Comics universe. It’s a relatively new comic compared to the classics like The Flash, Spiderman and Batman.

Robert Kirkman, from The Walking Dead, was the co-creator of Invincible. Can’t wait until AMC makes a live action version of this one!

Graeme’s Flash Shirt

While waiting for an autograph from Adam Shadowchild, Graeme, with the author Clive Gollings, wears a grey Flash t-shirt. If you’re a fan of The Flash, you’ll truly enjoy the warm cotton embrace this shirt offers. If you aren’t a fan of The Flash then you will still enjoy the warm cotton embrace this shirt offers.

Graeme’s Encounter Briefs Shirt

In the above image, Graeme Willy is wearing an Encounter Briefs t-shirt. Encounter Briefs is the fictional comic book from the movie Paul and does not exist in the real world (or at least to our knowledge). It was drawn by the famous cartoonist and screenwriter, Daniel Clowes.

Clive’s Creature From The Black Lagoon Shirt

We originally thought that the t-shirt Clive (Nick Frost) is wearing in the above image contained a neon green Darth Vader header with some crossbones underneath. We were so totally wrong.

Thanks to Matt at Stupid Puppyhead, we were properly schooled as to the shirt’s proper origin. The t-shirt actually has the head of The Creature from the Black Lagoon and some spearguns underneath. So, the good news is that we know the shirt’s proper origin; the bad news is that the t-shirt does not seem to be sold anywhere online. But you can still get a wallet.

Clive’s Ming the Merciless Shirt

The writer, Clive Gollings, might have a child’s bladder but he also sports a cool Ming the Merciless t-shirt in the movie, Paul. If you are unaware, Ming the Merciless is the ruler of Mongo and nemesis to Flash Gordon. That’s about all you need to know; go buy the shirt now.

Clive’s Flash Shirt

To be honest, we’re not exactly sure what the symbol is on Clive’s shirt in the image above. It looks a bit like the logo of the superhero, The Flash, but we could be way off.

Kristen Wiig’s Evolve Shirt

This hilarious shirt was worn by Kristen Wiig, while playing Ruth Buggs, in the film, Paul. The image has Jesus shooting Charles Darwin in the head, with the phrase ‘Evolve This!’ underneath. Take that and your evolutionist theories!!!
