@@thepurenewb1584 Okay so i had to freeze frame this but: That is a MP34 (identifiable by the front sight) so yep used in WWII. The MP43 is actually a early STG44. Those were first classed as Maschinenpistolen and then renamed Sturmgewehr. Also the iconic German MP is the MP40.

One of the Easter eggs that I find surprisingly overlooked in almost all reviews is the casting of Edward Woodward in Hot Fuzz. Woodward plays the CCTV NWA member but in so many ways Hot Fuzz is a homage to his 1973 film “The Wicker Man”. The wicker man is the story of a young police officer who is sent to a small Scottish island to solve mystery of a missing girl and uncovers that the locals are all involved in a Druidic cult.

[@peterdavis7579]

Edward Woodward's final line of dialogue in Hot Fuzz, 'Oh God, no', as he's trapped behind the seamine, is identical to his last words as he's ritually sacrificed in the finale of The Wicker Man. In the 1980s Woodward also won a Golden Globe for playing Robert McCall in the US TV series, The Equalizer.

You might already know this, so apologies if you do, but Edgar Wright actually directed the music video for a song called Blue Song by Mint Royale (starring Noel Fielding of all people) and the entire video plays out almost exactly like the opening scene of Baby Driver where Baby's waiting in the car. When Baby Driver was finally made, Wright had been sitting on the idea and writing it for about a decade, so when he was approached to do the music vid with a very tight turn around a few years earlier, the only thing he had to mind was that initial scene.

What I love about Danny on the nth watch is that he might not be obsessed with action movies because he's an action movie nut, but because it's his only exposure to "actual" policing (especially with his dad having gone off the moral deep end).

It's the one I could watch any time, all the time. Some more details: Danny gives Nicholas his notepad suspecting his dad's "club" might have been causing the murders all this time. He didn't want to believe it, but he clearly prepared for staging his death as soon as he saw Nicholas had been attacked. Think about it-- Danny was right out the door after the fight; he was probably sent there to discover him dead. (But seems like he didn't report back so they decided the innkeeper would find him.) Also, you notice how most of-- if not all in some subtle way-- the characters have surnames related to their roles? And extra fun fact: That wild west photo is of actual Nick Frost as a child.

A Hot Fuzz AND The World's End video back to back? WE ARE WINNING. I love this movie to bits and quote it all the time. The first half perfectly sets up everything in the second half and not a moment or line is wasted.

[@lea-anne9133]

Literally one of the best comedy action film's ever made. Also has a massive heart at the centre of Danny & Nick's Bromance 😍

[@micahphilson]

For a second I thought this was CinemaSins, and I was like "How could you trash anything in one of the best cinematic masterpieces and comedies of the past generation of films?!" Then I realized it was the opposite and I was entirely here for it. I learned somehow even more about this movie I love so much!

[@Typhis19]

Holy crap I never noticed the little detail about slowly loosing his cell signal. that's an awesome little detail.

[@richarddaniel9947]

So glad you mentioned the Ian Banks/Ian. M. Banks joke. Never seen anyone pick up on that before. Such a great subtle gag

[@AldrickExGladius]

I know this is supposed to be just a short video, but I could go thru every scene of this movie and point out something great about it. Every scene has a reason to be there, either for the present or set up for later.

[@FinnDarius]

I don’t think I’ll ever see movies outside Wright’s work that rewards the viewer this much for paying close attention. Almost overwhelmingly rewarding

[@derrickroberts2502]

I love that every citizen of Sandford has a surname that used to be a job. Cartwright, Wainwright, Farmer, Staker, Hatcher

[@ruthbennett7563]

I also appreciate that the « Andies » have essentially the same surnames with different linguistic roots (Cartwright & wainwright).

[@JakeTaco83]

12:32 my favorite bits in a movie ever. I use that GIF all the time.

[@fredskull1618]

The screenplay’s humor and intelligence subverted and played with action movie and murder mystery tropes so well. Pegg’s performance as the ‘super cop’ Nicholas Angel is so memorable for its humor and conviction. It’s not surprising that he works so well in the Mission Impossible movies.

[@jamespicksley5781]

I could probably add a dozen more things to it too Like how at the start Angel says "you can't just make people disappear" and the response being "yeees I can, I'm the chief inspector" Then in Sandford it is the chief inspector who is in charge of making people disappear. They literally tell you the ultimate villain in the first 90 seconds.

[@nathanpitek3177]

One of the best comedy’s ever. Me and my moms favorite film. References in this movie back into itself are so intertwined it’s crazy

[@mrgrump1003]

I love how this movie practically combines every mystery plot ever. “Oh, it was the rich dude. Oh, it was the nobody. Oh, it was the chief. Oh, it was some cult. Oh, they don’t life riffraff. Etc.” Perfection. Reminds me of Clue.

[@fayesouthall6604]

Edward Woodwards Oh God No is the last line he said in The Wicker Man.

[@ruthbennett7563]

I’m so glad you wrote this & saved me the trouble. So nice not to be alone in noting that sweet detail (homage?)

[@MsWinterlife]

When my husband and I first moved to the suburbs I didn’t have a car, so I spent most weekends at home doing housework, cooking and ironing while he went to work. It just so happened that I had a dvd of this movie at hand and just played it on the living room tv over and over and over and over and over again while I busied myself with chores. I remember every scene and every single line of this movie as a result, and it remains my all time favourite (yes even ahead of Shrek 2, which makes me cry every time).

[@dbrokensoul]

Even after all those rewatch, I still found something new from this movie. Easily my top 5 movies since I first watched it.

[@kiratherenegade1561]

I'd go so far as to say this script is one of the best out there. It's literally perfect. One of the few movies able to juggle heart, comedy, drama, tragedy & elements of horror - utterly perfectly.

[@jacksonbankhead860]

I love this so much they took what is normally done in America and very Americanized and made it so quintessentially British it’s amazing writing acting everything

[@Zanian19]

Out of my top 10 favorite movies of all time, Edgar Wright directed 3 of them. The man is an absolute genius at what he does.

[@Aileil]

Oh my goodness, I have never seen this movie. I saw the poster, read the title, and said "yikes". This actually looks great and, thanks to you, I'm going to go check it out. Much appreciated.

[@peterkerr4019]

Have you seen hot Fuzz yet? Its well worth a viewing, or 6.

[@Aileil]

@@peterkerr4019 Yeah, actually. Picked up the DVD at the local library. I'm glad I spent the time on it. It's a little like a cozy mystery, a little like a spy thriller, and generally quite funny yet sincere.

[@peterkerr4019]

@@Aileil I'm glad you liked it.

[@jakeyorath2325]

Great fact for you: Paddy Considine spontaneously moved back into camera in the locked-off shot with the Andes. Totally ad lib. Totally perfect. You can even see Rafe Spall start to laugh about it as he moves out of shot

[@HisVirusness]

I liked before I watched the video, because I know what's going to happen next. Despite being a fan of Shaun Of The Dead and Spaced, I was mesmerized when I saw this at the theater. It's too clever, too funny, and too awesome for it's own good.

[@whereispip]

This is so great- well done! One of my fave movies for all the hidden (and not so hidden) callbacks, foreshadowing, etc. Thanks for pointing out things I still managed to miss after many a rewatch. It just keeps getting better and better. Genius movie.

[@MrDrElectricon]

Greatest comedy and arguably greatest British film ever made.

[@bobbenson6825]

One of the tops but Ealing made so many great ones.

[@beardrunneraj7637]

Thank you. Absolutely love your videos. There's too many channels tearing movies apart. Glad to see someone building them up and appreciating them for what they are.

[@SociaCin]

Also the church part that Skinner got impaled on was the one he pushed onto Messenger writ-small.

[@SeismicWolf]

I loved watching this movie, But watching this Video makes me appreciate it even more. Having someone point out all these little details that a casual movie watcher like me missed is really great

[@Voltaic_Fire]

I wish I could watch the cornetto trilogy for the first time again but those movies are so good that they'll never leave my memory.

[@josephbassey1501]

I have an experimental drug that can help with that If you'll ignore the side effects

[@emnisarey1178]

I'm interested

[@johnmorgan1629]

10:17 'That's the same actor.' More than just actor, comedian, musician, that's Bill Bailey, also invented the Moonwalk, OK so it wasn't that Bill Bailey, but another Bill Bailey (1912-1978) from the US and dancer who did. Also, not mentioning that Olivia Colman, who played PC Doris Thatcher wo an Oscar for her performance in The Favorite and been nominated twice, till late in the video.

[@Sean-d4p]

That's also the real name of Axl Rose lead singer of guns n roses. If you didn't know that, I hope you like that fact as well 👍

[@CopeyCapri]

Top tier film, British or otherwise, also, the delivery and Danny's pause when saying "you ain't seen bad boys 2!?" definitely deserved it's own win 😂
