Hot Fuzz (1/10) Movie CLIP - Good Luck Nicholas (2007) HD

[@TwoTown]

I love how Nick is ousted for essentially being too perfect, "you can't just make people disappear", and is then placed in a town where people, if they are not perfect, "disappear" by their officials. Such brilliant mirroring.

The funniest thing about this is that probably after he left the Chief Inspector got fired because crime was raised up to 400%

[@wea1117]

Actually what was said is that he was 400% of any other officer effectively meaning he arrested as much as 4 other officers. Although he did say any other officer which means that that figure is compared against 4 of the second best cop they have so it's probably more like 6 of the average officers arrest quota. I counted 36 officers in the shot of the "Team" which means Nicholas is actually responsible for roughly 15-20% of their arrests which is still significant and would lead to a large rise in crime but it's not as dire as a 400% increase.

If they are organized or working together, they will keep track. And if a Cop is capable of catching 4-5 Criminals a _day,_ which most cops rarely have to do on a daily basis, the Organized Criminals would keep a look out for him/her...

@@wea1117 - It wouldn't "lead to a large rise in crime" unless the entire population consisted of criminals, that was the _only_ police station in London, and none of the _other_ officers increased their number of arrests. There are in fact over 30 thousand Met officers, so overall it would have no noticeable effect.

@@RFC-3514 That's a good point. I didn't think of that. I got too caught up in the maths. Well it'd have a very large impact on that team's metrics :D

Martin Freeman, Steve Coogan, AND Bill Nighy just for this bit? Edgar Wright is a genius.

[@HunterMagunter]

Always loved how silly the movie is yet still somehow grounded, the man has a 400% higher arrest rate then anyone else yet the next scene when he gets dumped we all feel like that could be us. Edgar hasn't made a movie this good since

The subtle nose twitch of Nighey when he threatens Nic is one of my favourite actor choices ever.

I just can’t stop laughing whenever he said Sanford Gloucestershire so softly 😂😂

Its so heartwarming to see people have so many different favourite parts of this scene. For its that "KenneTH" as KenneTH comes right around the corner. That name has something about it.
