"Everybody and their mums is packin' round here." "Like who?" "Farmers." "Who else?" "Farmers' mums" The first two people Angel encounters when returning? The farmer and his mum. Every line in this movie pays off. Pure. Genius.

It rarely happens anymore, now I actually just do the opposite, because I just fucking hate that "quoting" trend in comments, that´s been around for way too long by now.

My friends and I consider this to be one of those rare "perfect" films where the story never diminishes, the editing is perfect, the sound is excellent, the acting is spot on for everyone and they truly cared about it. It really makes the film so rewatchable and I love introducing people to it.

[@EvilOdysseus]

The twist is given away right at the start of the movie when Nicholas is talking with his superiors about moving. "With respect, sir, you can't just make people disappear." "Yes I can. I'm the Chief Inspector." Leader of the cult in Sanford? The Chief Inspector.

[@wittyreviewer]

Some things neat about this movie not often talked about: A lot of real policemen like this movie because it shows the part cop action movies almost never do, the paperwork. Police have to write up reports for absolutely everything they do and the stuff they pull in movies like Bad Boys would take weeks to go through, so real police who saw Hot Fuzz found it darkly amusing that they make a point of showing that even the badass action man needs to write up reports. Nobody actually dies in the final action beats. Despite the violence and gunfire, all of the people Angel and Danny wade through are alive at the end of it. The way the shotguns on his back are positioned look like angel wings. And lastly, my favorite little detail, the conspiracy theory Angel comes up with initially for the murders is entirely legitimate, it just happens to be wrong. He's completely correct that all of the evidence thus far pointed to it, it's just that it was something much, much more mundane.

[@roboguard96]

Also the fact that the antagonist group acronym is N.W.A a reference to the hip hop group ‘niggas wit attitude’ And Simon Pegg Spent a lot of time sitting down with police officers and going on ride alongs hearing their stories and gripes with the job as well as what they enjoy. A lot of that forms the basis of the comedy

[@krbkrbkrbkrbkrb]

A biblical reference that everybody gets wrong because the translation from Latin to English does not hold up very well in modern times. Pale doesn't mean white, pale means weak and sickly. In the book of Revelation, the white horse is ridden by War.

[@mr.osclasses5054]

This is a film my friends and I consider to be "perfect". The writing is spot on with every line paying off at some point and is never non-sensical. The editing just enhances the movie and gives it perfect pacing. The sound is wonderfully done and placed. The jokes are just that right level where they are funny, but not too high or low-brow. I'm trying to recall the whole movie, but I don't think there is an overabundance of swearing (they kind of get it out of the way by displaying the swear box with them written down, so they don't have to be said), not that I necessarily care about that, but they're able to make this without it. The actors all clearly care about the film and are putting in great performances that are dramatic, yet funny; witty, yet deep. Going back to the pacing, it ramps up at just the right speed to make you feel satisfied at the end, but it also incorporates enough twists and turns from a normal "whodunnit?!" movie to keep you engaged and guessing until the payoff. It is just so, so good!

Every single shot and line in this movie is a set up for a callback. Masterpiece. Also like Shaun of the Dead is an ode to zombie movies this one is an ode to buddy cop action flicks and you can see it in several shots.

[@JeffKelly03]

100%. One of my favorite things about both this movie and Shaun of the Dead is the fact that, while they're kind of sending up/poking holes in the genres they're tackling, they're also both legitimately good entries into those genres. Shaun is a great zombie movie, and Hot Fuzz is a great action movie. You can tell that Simon Pegg and Edgar Wright genuinely love those genres based on how much care they put into writing tongue in cheek satires that are fantastic entries in their own right.

[@MarcosElMalo2]

Several shots? How about the whole friggin’ movie?

[@katra777]

This movie has one of the funniest unexpected scenes I have seen. When Timothy Dalton trips at the end and gets skewered, then says "this really hurts". Haha

[@baroquejen]

I love what this says about how Londoners feel about people living in small villages like this. I lived over there for a decade and toured around to a ton of small places as a musician. The feeling you get is legitimately like this sometimes, adorable but also an undercurrent of something dark and secretive. It's brilliant the way this captures that.

[@MaggieTheCat01]

ALL of them. lol

[@MarcosElMalo2]

It’s the Angel character arc, and really one of the themes if not the major theme. Just as Danny is changed into a better cop, Angel is changed into Danny’s ideal of a Hollywood cop. Notably, it’s after the fake murder when Angel realizes his by-the-book methods haven’t been effective. That’s also a nice bit if “hero’s journey” plot structure--Angel is transformed through a death experience. This might be pseudo philosophical claptrap, but . . . It makes Angel’s transformation from one type of super cop to the other fantasy type believable, no?

[@thikakashi]

The "trilogy" is called "Cornetto Triolgy"( shorten ), because in every movie you can spot a cornetto ice cream at somepoint in the movie. It's pretty hard to see it at first, i only noticed after searching online. Maybe you can spot where it is in this movie or on the next one! Once again excited to see your reaction! ( i'm writing this before watching the whole video so if you mentioned the name of the unnoficial trilogy or any other information that i wrote here at somepoint in the video i apologize, just really like to interact and give some info that i know =) )

[@cyberbilly1]

The colouration of the Cornetto was also significant. Red for Shaun of the Dead because zombies/blood. Blue for Hot Fuzz because it centers on the Police Department. Green for The World's End (and of course I won't spoil the significance there just in case :) )

[@bloodymarvelous4790]

@@cyberbilly1 Red: Strawberry (Shaun of the Dead) - Early in the movie, in the convenience store Blue: Vanilla (Hot Fuzz) - Middle of the movie, in the cop car Green: Chocolate Mint (The World's End) - End of the movie, ... (not tellin' ;))

[@chanceneck8072]

Yeah, it took me a while, to finally get my hands on a copy of World´s End, because I couldn´t find it digitally, I actually bought the DVD back then, which even our local video store, which has been closed for years by now, extra had to order for me. You can probably imagine, it turned out to be the most disappointing one for me of the three. I think I just remembered the toilet scene at the beginning with a smile on my face, but that´s it! Hot Fuzz on the other hand... May very well be the funniest movie ever made for me! I´d put it right next to or rather slightly above stuff like Tropic Thunder or Kiss Kiss Bang Bang! And after this, I could never watch Timothy Dalton in ANY other role anymore. I just couldn´t take him seriously anymore, because he did such a fantastic job as Skinner and his German voice actor really did a magnificent job conveying this, too with all his weasel words throughout the movie. Doctor Who sadly proved my right on that, with its series 4 finale...

This is one of my favorite movies of all time, it's the perfect combination of comedy, action, excitement & just editing/directing genius

[@chloe1-2-3-4-5]

My favourite thing about this movie is that if you've ever been to one of the small, creepy little villiages in the UK... this scenario seems perfectly possible haha

[@geomaxa]

very small rural UK village here, small as in blink when you drive through and you miss it and in the south west to boot , where the yarps and oo-arrrs are strong, can 100% confirm this lol however sandford is a town, our villages are much smaller and way creepier lmao

[@MarcosElMalo2]

It could be a HOA (Home Owners Association) in the U.S.

[@orcanimal]

The amount of callbacks from the first act in the third act in this movie is staggering. You have to watch it a couple of times just to notice them all.

[@thetoothbrushfromnisemonog8340]

YES! I absolutely love this film, easily one of my top 5 comedies ever! Also, the guy who played the Santa who stabbed Nicholas Angel in the hand was actually played by Peter Jackson.

[@BrandonLikesMovies]

That's awesome haha

[@TheHighSorcerer]

@@BrandonLikesMovies Tons of people walked out of this movie because of how slow it was through the first and second acts. They missed out on the massive series of action scenes at the end and IMO I think that makes this movie even more enjoyable. There are probably people out there still who saw the beginning of the movie but have no idea how it ends.

[@BDog54]

@@TheHighSorcerer I consider anyone who walks out of this movie at any point insane lol

[@TheHighSorcerer]

@@BDog54 Yeah they went into it thinking it was going to be action-comedy all the way through, and since the first two acts of the movie are kind of a slow burn they must have gotten bored.

One thing I'd like to add is how much you can tell Edgar Wright is making an homage to action movies. Love that he had a James Bond as a villain (Skinner) and gave him a proper chase and fight sequence. Also another cool tidbit is David Arnold doing the amazing score and he composed many of the James Bond movies!

[@rossmorton7002]

The man dressed as Father Christmas, who stabs Angel in the hand, is a cameo from Peter Jackson. Angel's ex is a cameo from Cate Blanchett.

[@matthewsands1572]

Seriously. You need to watch "True Romance". You like seeing great actors shine, you like seeing Gary Oldman disappear into a role, you like Tarantino's writing and Tony Scott's producing and you like films that surprise you with something different. For all these reasons and more you NEED to watch True Romance.

Brandon - just stumbled upon your channel for the first time and you’re watching my favorite movie! This is such a weird phenomenon - - I’m watching a guy watching my favorite movie and yet it’s just as hilarious in a different way watching you laugh at what made the rest of us laugh the first time around! I think I’m also laughing at the fact that you’re just as amused and confused and surprised at everything that’s happening in all of the same ways that the rest of us were when we first watched it! You’re correct - - Edgar Wright is a freaking genius, the editing is absolutely out of this world, and there’s really no movie like this. A masterpiece of… everything! Oh - and you are no editing slouch yourself! Your editing made it twice as funny. This movie always cracks me up and so did your reactions! Keep up the great work!

[@georgeadams6254]

Great review/video. It's a film I watched so many times after it first came out but haven't seen it for a long time. This video basically was like re-watching and remembering all the best moments of the film. Good stuff.

[@jameshughes7946]

First time?! Oh man you're so lucky. What I'd give to watch this for the first time again. Also the best part about the final battle is that there's no deaths. Angel takes them all in alive.

This is one of my favorite movies, and it's the one I use when explaining to someone what constitutes good writing. The script is almost perfect. It's incredibly tight. Everything that is in it is there for a reason, no word or frame is wasted, character motivations and actions all make sense and it's just really clever in its application of humor.
