[@TheDaringPastry1313]

You might have caught this while editing, but they foreshadowed the whole movie twist at 2:48: "You can't just make people disappear." "Yes I can, I'm the Chief Inspector." Also I love the editing in this movie. It's so fast and snappy on the cuts.

[@Catherinewelter-z6d]

Two things I loved in this one the riot room was not used for so long a hedgehog took up residence in it and Two the first survive you see after the explosion was the hedgehog.

[@lepeke]

Shaun of the Dead is simultaneously a hilarious send up of the Zombie genre while following the tropes of the genre so skillfully that it becomes a genuinely good zombie movie. The same goes for Hot Fuzz and buddy cop movies. World's End is a send up of another genre but its kind of spoilers to say which.

[@micheletrainor1601]

Paul is absolutely hilarious, too. All such fun movies with not stop comedy and action. It's such great storytelling with every single movie.

[@ZondaFRoadster]

"I'm not jumping into anyone's grave!" "Everybody and their mums is packing around here!" "I was just about to pop off, actually!" Practically every other line in this movie is foreshadowing, and I'm living for it!

[@amy_grace]

"Take out all the little people, and you get to waltz off with the cuddly monkey!"

“Wanna be a big copper in a small town? Fuck off up the model village.”

And every action trope Danny asked Angel if he’d done on the job, Danny got to do in the end.

[@G1NZOU]

Also regarding the swan, "apparently, they can break a man's arm", and you see Inspector Frank with his arm in a sling at the end.

[@feldegast]

i love how the following people are in this film as cameo's Peter Jackson - father christmas who stabs Nicolas Kate Blanchett - the girlfriend behind the CSI mask Martin Freeman - London Policeman trying to get rid of Nicolas - he is in the other 2 Cornetto movies 😁

[@WolfHreda]

26:42 I think the joke here is they didn't kill the living statue. They just tossed him down there and he's so dedicated to his craft that he hasn't left.

[@Metaljacket420]

I always thought the joke was they gold plated him like in Goldmember to make him a real statue.

[@chickginger]

I always thought the joke was that he died still in his statue position. 😂

[@najhoant]

All of the above options are funny

[@lynnevetter]

😂😂

[@treg5298]

@@chickginger That's clearly what is the joke. Even in this universe, a man wouldn't just sit there and die to show dedication to his craft.

[@Rothgar59]

The play wasn't the traditional "Romeo and Juliet" but based on the Baz Luhrmann film "Romeo + Juliet"

[@thedoctor4327]

Love this film! Works as both a parody of an action film and a straight up action film. Personally I find Sandford’s Neighborhood Watch Alliance to be one of the most horrifying villainous organizations in film due to graphically killing anyone that threatens the village’s idyllic image and chances of winning an annual award, even over the smallest of nuisances . So trivial which makes it all the more sinister

[@Nicholasmcmath-cr1xl]

Same

[@robertpetre9378]

It’s also a parody of the Wickaman it even has Edward Woodward, who was in the original film in it.

[@WithTwoFlakes]

And Woodward's last line in Hot Fuzz is almost a word for word callback to one of his last lines when he first sees the Wickerman and realises what is about to happen...

[@blackshard641]

"THE GREATER GOOD." One of my favorites. The flying kick into the old lady had me absolutely dying from laughter when I saw this in theaters. Also, "yarp" and "narp" are permanent additions to my vocabulary.

[@WithTwoFlakes]

And she had a gun because everyone in the countryside has guns. "Farmers" "Who else?" "Farmers Mum's"

[@scottipmagician]

13:46 "By the power of Grey Skull..... what is that?" - My 42 year old heart broke.

[@Andy_U]

"Grey Skull? What is that?" ... Oh, I am SO old.

[@nicktechnubyte1184]

An absolutely perfect movie in every single way possible!

[@lovisalindstrom7920]

There are so many faces I recognize from british entertainment, (me being swedish). Ive seen no one writing about him, Bu t Jim Broadbent that played the police boss does a great job in Moulin Rouge and Harry Potter as well. I think you can see this as a satire over british cozy crime, such as Midsomer Murders. Small villages, violent death yet everything is nice, cozy and idyllic. The police that gets to know the truth, truth that are really bizarre at times.

[@blainekessler2220]

Incase you missed it, the guy that played Michael Armstrong (The store employee who says "Yarp" all the time) was Rory McCann. Who also played Sandor "The Hound" Clegane in Game Of Thrones.

[@donaldseale2700]

"By the power of Grayskull" What is that? Damn, that just hurt my soul. lol

[@laurajaynenolan2149]

Yep, we’re old kid

[@JessieNebulousGaming]

This is one of my favorite movies, right up there with "Clue." Simon Pegg and Edgar Wright write phenomenal screenplays together, while Pegg and Nick Frost have such excellent chemistry (likely on account of being actual IRL best friends). And Wright's direction is always a delight. Glad to see you guys enjoyed this one so much!

[@arwelp]

When Nicholas arrives at the castle the NWA are chanting “bonum commune communitatis”, which is Latin for “the common good of the community” or “The Greater Good”!

[@unveuunion2805]

Edgar Wright the writer/director grew up in Wells where the film was shot. One of his first jobs as a teenager was stacking shelves in the supermarket used in the film

[@CosmosesJones]

The start of the movie is not him narrating himself, its actually Martin Freemans character listing off his file/achievements to him before promoting and transferring him

[@sandorfalusi3486]

Fun fact, in earlier versions of the script, there was a love interest for Nicholas. They decided against it in favour of the pacing of the movie, but a lot of her lines were given to Danny. This is why their relationship feels like a romance a lot of times. Because it sort of is.

[@Mortigantoj]

I've watched this film a million times and seen a bunch of reactions to it as well, thought I knew all the jokes and full-circle moments. Just realised on this watch-through, the model-village spire that goes through Skinner's mouth is the replica of the one he pushed on top of the reporter! Like a mini-revenge

[@randalthor741]

This is one of those movies that's better and better each time you watch it, because you notice more things. Case in point: even though I've seen Hot Fuzz probably at least a dozen times, just now I noticed for the first time that the Andys are named Andy Cartwright and Andy Wainwright, and a cartwright is the same thing as a wainwright: they're both people who make carts! So the Andys don't just share a first name, they also kind of share a last name...

[@lepeke]

Fun fact, the Trolly boy is The Hound from Game of Thrones.

[@whade62000]

"By the power of Greyskull" is the catchphrase of He-Man from the cartoon show "He-Man and the Masters of the Universe".

[@Rocket1377]

"By the Power of Grayskull" is a reference to the He-Man cartoon, which was massively popular with children in the 1980s. kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y5LYnZicZaqnnqcfeature=shared

[@joyshutt7928]

I hope Nick realises the number of British comedy and acting legends in this! 😎

[@LudusAurea]

One of my favorites, best Simon Pegg movie.

[@Pamtroy]

That whole movie is a roster of veteran British actors. My favorite is the minister, played by Paul Freeman, who was the handsome, villainous Belloq in RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK.

[@SalvableRuin]

"By the power of Grey Skull" comes from He-Man. "By the power of Grey Skull, I HAVE THE POWER!!!!" lol

[@joshuaminke6629]

definitely the best of the cornetto trilogy. yall need to check out the other 2

[@felixmurley-anderson5620]

The reason there are so many quasi-romantic lines between Danny and Nicholas is because the original idea was to have Danny be a female love interest for Nicholas’ straight-laced city cop (the usual cliche for these kinds of films). When they decided to cast Nick Frost as Danny instead they left the dialogue as-is and it makes it even funnier 😂

[@madselmvig1457]

What a load of BS. Nick Frost is in ALL the Cornetto Trilogy films and never has there been any idea that he should "have been a female". They also flirt in "Shaun of the Dead", is that also because Nick Frost should have been a women? In this they just do it more because they make fun of the American semi homo erotic male bonding in "Bad boys I and II" and similar movies.

[@IoFoxdale]

@@madselmvig1457 they got the story wrong. There was originally a love interest for Angel in an early draft. She got cut and a lot of her lines went to Frost.

[@taxiuniversum]

Ha ha ha ha

[@spddracer]

You should definitely watch Point Break. Classic action movie.

[@robertoprestigiacomo253]

2:20 - He wasn't Billy Bob Torton, but it was Peter Jackson!

[@rcrawford42]

Well, you *could* find guns and such laying around Britain. Lots of equipment was lost during WWII, as much as they tried to keep track of it.

[@jannegrey]

I'm glad that you watched it and liked it. Honestly it gets better with many re-watchings. Also - there is over the top violence, but in the last shootout no-one dies (you can see their mugshots etc.) Did something happen to Avatar: Last Airbender?

[@thomassbowmann]

Absolute credit to Edgar Wright, the fictional town used in scenarios in UK Police training is called Sandford!

[@emme2141]

If you haven’t yet, you should watch Shaun of the Dead, it’s a comedy zombie/horror genre, with Simon Pegg and Nick Frost again.

[@stuartarmstrong5190]

This is the second of the Cornetto trilogy, all written by Simon Pegg and Edgar Wright, directed by Wright and starring Simon Pegg and Nick Frost. You need to watch the other two: Shaun of the Dead and The World's End!

The way ‘our girl’ stayed with, and recognized each-and-every double-intendre, only to reach the near end and exclaim “…oh, 💩!!” when she feared that Danny had a …a’hem… ‘terrible accident!’ Kept me going throughout the entire reaction. Subscribing in 3…2…😲🤘🏻💪🏻

Movie #2 of the Cornetto Trilogy

[@knockoutking3764]

[@nathanreeves9408]

This movie is inspired by a 1970's film called the wickerman. It stars Edward Woodward, he plays a policeman investigating the strange disapearance of someone in a close knit community. In Hot Fuzz he plays the neighbourhood watch cctv guy, he also starred in the original Equaliser 1980's TV show! Before Denzel Washington came along.

[@hellogoodbyeandallinbetween]

I recommend watching a video breaking down the details to fully appreciate the efforts put into this movie. One of my favourites is the 'farmers mums ' joke, since the second person he fights in the finale is an armed farmer's mum 😂 Also you are right, there was meant to be a romantic interest for Angel, but they gave the lines to Danny. I think it works really well to have a platonic relationship so important to the plot.

13:48 'By the power of Grayskull' - that is reference to the show, He-Man and The Masters of the Universe.

[@feldegast]

"By the power of Greyskull" is a quote from the cartoon Heman, used to watch it a lot growing up there was going to be a femail character but they gave her lines to Nick's character

[@Che5syMu5ic]

The farmer who had all the weapons is one of the dead people Nick (Simon Pegg's character) stumbles across in the catacombs, as well as the previous sergeant and the 4 underaged drinkers he arrests on his first night in Sandford, when he also arrests Danny, basically anyone Nicholas interacts with that does a crime is dead in that catacomb

[@robert-antoinedenault5901]

Maybe you didn't hear about it but the UK had sea mines surrounding it during WW2 and the country gave out weapons during that period to several people and communities (near the sea) in case an invasion party came inland. And after the war, much of the excess weaponry were not eliminated but rather came into the possession of the civilian population.

[@disobedientdolphin]

You definately have to watch some He-Man so for the future you know what the Power of Greyskull means.

[@adamskeans2515]

the best part of this movie is that the part of Nick Frost was written as a love interest and at the last instance, they changed the gender and put Nick Frost in the role, but didn't change a bit of dialog and it worked.

[@connorpeters9764]

A lot of, if not all of Sargent Angels' partner was written as a romantic female character in mind. When they decided to cast Nick in the role, they just kept the dialogue the same. Makes for a great bromance

[@adambaumgarden7501]

[@phillipridgway8317]

And how much fun must it have been for all these veteran actors to take part in a shootout at that stage in their careers!

[@emmanuelmartin1238]

British humour will often add in genuine sentiment, dark themes and extreme violence into the mix.

[@nicksykes4575]

Nick Frosts character was originally written as female, they switched the sex of the character, but didn't change the dialogue, that's why it seems they're a little too friendly.
