Hot Fuzz - Foreshadowing/Recurring Jokes

I didn't include all of them like Skinner's "I'm a killer" jokes or Doris' sex jokes cause there are already vids on youtube on those, also it's possible i missed some, you pick up new things ever watch.
Also i know some of these are more of a "setup and payoff" type of joke, but i think they belong here.

It’s like Tadgh said, Bill Bailey plays two different people, a pair of identical twins who both work the front desk for the police. One works the day shift and one works the night shift. The only noticeable difference is their hair styles and what time of day it is. The running joke is that no one notices that it’s two brothers, and only tell one of them what’s going on, which is why the other one is always complaining that no one tells him anything. I don’t remember his many times I watched the movie before I finally realized what was going on there. It’s gotta be one of my favorite jokes in a movie ever.

It was considered the "Rolls Royce of SMGs" due to the extreme standards put into manufacturing them, and whenever it was captured by the opposing soldiers, they ended up being kept as Heirlooms or as part of a Treasured collection, rather than destroyed.
