(#6) The Burrito Scene Was Based On A Real Story From The Writer

The scene where Amy (Rebel Wislon) gets hit with a burrito while trying to get gas for the bus was inspired by a real life incident from Pitch Perfect writer, Kay Cannon. In an interview with Collider, Cannon says, “In college, I was running on the side of a road with my boyfriend… Four dudes in a car came by, and one of them had a burrito and whipped it at me. It knocked me over, and I thought I had been shot. That was a real thing. I was like, 'I’ve been shot! Oh, my gosh!' I fell over. I was wearing this windbreaker and, when I looked down, it looked like my guts, but it was really just bean burrito.”
