101 Facts About Hot Fuzz

[@soniawilliams8479]

#97 - Aaron A Aaronson was actually the boy taken hostage at the model village by Skinner, not the ginger in the pub.

[@MrDPWright]

Yep! Tsk tsk! He even says his own name! 🤦

Also the first person Patty and Selma ring to badmouth Homer

[@reginal.898]

Which is also the reason he appeared last in the credits, because the actors were listed in order of appearance.

[@thriller985]

[@PhiphyL]

Because it's not as funny as the previous two, and the main character is a bit of a c*ck. It is a very good film on its own, but does not compare to what came before it.

[@Cobalt-Jester]

Hot fuzz is not just 2 random words slapped together because they sound cool... It's slang for the police. Ever since we were kids (over 20 years ago) I have heard it used and used it myself. I think it comes from Hawaii 5-0 which got contracted to just 5-0 then that turned into Fuzz... Where the hot part comes from I'm not sure, I'm not an etymologist. But Hot Fuzz as been around long before this movie.

[@David-ud9ju]

Yeah, the fuzz is a common slang term for the police, but putting the word hot in front of it is random.

[@nolongerlistless]

When did that music CD Hot Fuss come out, then?... it is one of the 101 facts, no 77.

[@josephmarrison4606]

My favourite out of these facts was the one where it was revealed that The Church was a cathedral in real life. So amazing that they edited down in the film, I would never have guessed it. My favourite out of The Cornetto Trilogy is Hot Fuzz. It is just so funny and action packed at the same time.

[@Illesdan]

I was a little surprised that there was no mention of Edward Woodward and him being the protagonist of the '80s television show 'The Equalizer'. I loved that show as a kid, and the fact that Woodward played a 180 from his character in the '80s show.

[@deadcatthinks6725]

Extra Info: At the fete Hatcher says "take out all the little people and you walk off with the cuddly monkey". Angel takes out the NWA and walks off with Danny at the end of the film. Also, the noise the fruit machine makes is the same as the one in SotD and TWE.

[@henryjohnson462]

[@MrLolx2u]

52: Samson the German Shepard was called Saxon in the movie was only explained you with only one reason on why the name change but there's actually one more. They changed it from Samson to Saxon was to pay homage to the name of Anglo-Saxon where modern England was built on the basis of Saxons from the Germanic tribe of the 500AD before they were conquered by the Normans in 1066 and coincidentally, Samson was a German Shepard thus, "Saxon".

When Nicholas is out jogging on his first morning in Sandford, the car being towed away has the same registration number on it as that drunkenly reversed into him by Danny Butterman the night before, i.e., it's Danny's car.

[@YouOpaOpa]

7:55 And now 4 Oscar winners, counting Olivia Colman! =)

When Frank Butterman leaves the shootout in the pub he pulls a face and a REAL lion's roar can be heard. Fact 102.

Edgar Wright really is our lord and saviour. He really is (in my opinion) the best director out there.

[@ruthrobinson2232]

Couldn’t agree more! He’s a legend! My favourite with out a doubt!

I think this movie is so comforting and fun due to its symmetry. So many seemingly insignificant lines rehashed with over the top drama, in reverse order. I'll love it forever.

Seriously no mention that Rory McCann, who plays Lurch, is also Sandor ‘The Hound’ Clegane from Game of Thrones?

[@Viper1Zero]

HD L Narp?

[@GromHatt3r]

A few of the cast has been in GoT. Inspector Butterman, Sgt Fisher and Arthur Webley are others I know. Be daft to name every role someones played I think. That being said I couldn't finish the whole video so not sure if they're mentioned.

[@NathanDav42]

LeeLee Sheward Yes, but Rory McCann is a major cast member. No one is calling for listing the IMDB page for every actor in Hot Fuzz, but Game of Thrones is massively popular, and Rory McCann plays a memorable, larger than life, fan-favorite character.

[@Strawbs86.]

Fun fact #102 my mum served her home made soup to Nick Frost and Simon Pegg when they took a break from filming at the tea room where she worked. She had no idea who they were and Edgar Wright sent a message back saying how much he loved her soup while they were filming extra scenes in Surrey.

[@coasterfreek219]

who would have missed the spit roasting joke? lol, usually one of the biggest laughs in the film

In my opinion, this is definitely one of the best and most clever movies ever made! 😄 I love everything that Nick Frost and Simon Pegg do.

[@Donald43]

#57: The original Wicker Man also featured Edward Woodward (Tom Weaver in Hot Fuzz).

[@nigellusby8256]

& Weaver's last words & he realises the sea-mine is about to explode are "oh no", exactly the same words that ended the Woodward version of "Wicker Man".

[@joshslater2426]

Hot Fuzz is one of the most intricately written films ever made, and rivals Get Out in terms of clever foreshadowing. Few movies can do setup and payoff so effectively. I also find it amazing that Nicholas had a love interest, but her dialogue was so generic that they could literally cut her and give it to his best friend Danny. I don’t think Hot Fuzz is a love story, but it’s interesting to think it could’ve been one if they hadn’t made it a buddy story.

When taking a shortcut by leaping over the back garden fences, Simon Pegg as Sgt Nicolas Angel did the first three jumps himself with the last somersault jump performed by a stunt double, but it was actually Nick Frost as Police Constable Danny Butterman who crashed through the first fence because he cast a glance behind him that he was the one who performed the stunt himself
