#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! 🤦

I love the cornetto trilogy, and I don't know why The World's End is often left out, I love that film!

[@thriller985]

Melissa Espinoza my fav of the three.

[@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.

The fact about the Nazi gun and "Fascist" is also a reference earlier in the film where her crossword answer is fascism.

[@jdprettynails]

"Hag."

[@missryanswers773]

@@jdprettynails more specifically .. "haaag". hehe. He really held that vowel, making it sound as much like an insult as hers.

[@Gingerbread23386]

It's actually a British Sten MK II SMG, one of the only closest things it could be is a German MP18 from WW1, but it had a wooden stock rather than a metal one on the Sten.

What about the part where Nicholas said: "What Danny? You've never taken a shortcut before"? That's a reference to a scene in Shaun of the Dead!!!

[@NitroDiscord]

In all 3 cornetto movies, they all have fence scenes etc. when simon pegg jumps over the fences

[@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.

[@coleenwilliams6656]

OMG. That line about farmers and farmers's mums makes me laugh hysterically every time I hear it!!

[@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.

[@kodiak64]

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.

[@RedDadRedemption]

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

[@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.

[@jaydavies5273]

They should definitely make a second one

[@thekingofbboys3371]

They really shouldn’t, the cornetto trilogy don’t really need sequels, they are fine on there own

[@fairmonkey4786]

Actually they shouldn't because if hot fuzz 2 sucks, it will make the original worse in a way

[@TheGeneralSoundwave]

I must have seen this film over 30 times and I STILL didn’t find as many fun facts as you did. You are a master if your craft, sir.

[@ericgrigorof1509]

Literally everything in this movie is deliberate and has a deeper significance. It's incredible.

[@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.

[@Jb33124]

[@oscarpersaud7650]

Elliott Sanderson i live in Somerset and we appreciate this film as a ‘farmer film’

[@ParanoidYoshi]

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.

[@Maurovers]

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

[@warrensmith4006]

Just just know that from being a spaced addict like me 👍

[@ruthrobinson2232]

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

[@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".

Hot Fuzz is definitely my favorite of the trilogy. Best buddy cop film ever...

[@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.

[@LvBMusik]

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.

[@aidanhall1769]

Simon Pegg’s performance in Hot Fuzz is so underrated

[@teenybops41]

Sandford may be the name given to a village used in police training, but here in Somerset there is a real village called Sandford. It lies between Banwell and Churchill a few miles from Weston Super (night) Mare. So it's about 10-15 miles away from Wells. Love the film though.

[@markburns4837]

"one of the best British films in recent times"uf hell yeah it is☺.

[@freeman042210]

Please do "Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels! " Another great comedy!

[@benjaminbreeg4125]

79 is probably the greatest parallel between the films. Stuck in time. Shaun and Ed stuck in the same rut. The village stuck in time as was said and Gary King being stuck trying to go backwards rather than forwards. Omg I love it

[@NathanDav42]

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.

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
