Hey guys fun fact my old art teacher designed and made the miniature Sanford set at the end of the film

[@griergentry8777]

His girlfriend that he breaks-up with is actually Cate Blanchett. They thought it would be funny if you got such a big name but you couldn’t tell that was her 😆

[@shaniamonde7341]

I cant remember his name, but they used a big name Lord of the Rings actor for the Santa Claus as well.

[@JackOiswatching]

@@shaniamonde7341 That's actually Peter Jackson, the director of the LotR and Hobbit trilogies!

[@TheAngryMoth104]

Her eyes are quite striking if you know to look for her

[@chrispalmer7893]

That was a little dig at the studio - they wanted them to include some bigger names so they cast Cate Blanchett and made her unrecognisable.

[@novadragonz7357]

Another celebrity gag they pull is the ranking of officers at the station in regards to that actors current fame, starting from tv to film to UKs beloved

[@datonkallandor8687]

Hot Fuzz is probably the closest to a "perfect" movie ever made. Everything is set up properly, every scene is filled with so many details it shouldn't be possible and the editing is absolutely flawless.

[@Andrew1990M]

Not a second wasted. Every inch is either foreshadowing, a set up, or a pay off.

[@tomasjallen]

The transitions are so great!

[@thanossnap4170]

Movies with Mikey has a brilliant episode covering this. It's so good, i highly recommend looking it up.

[@PokerPlayerJames]

Absolutely. One of only 5 movies, I've given a 10/10 rating to and on a technical level it is absolutely the most perfect of those 5.

[@michaelandrews117]

It's the definition of all killer no filler. Tight script, great performances, brilliant editing, fantastic direction... Just exceptional.

[@paratus04]

I love how Danny gets to do everything he asked Angel if he’d done by the end of the movie. Great writing

[@jacobcurle8964]

Very similar to Shaun of the Dead where the entire plot of the movie is planned out by Ed at the beginning. I don’t remember all the details, but it’s stuff like “then we’ll stumble back here, play some pool, maybe get a quick bite” and at the end of the movie they literally stumble back there (because they’re pretending to be zombies), fight the zombies off with pool cues, and Ed gets bitten.

[@brendanoconnor1550]

Simon Pegg’s face during the “homage” to Romeo and Juliet is iconic. The way they’re dressed, the gun, and the song they sang are all references to the Baz Luhrmann’s film adaptation of the play starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Claire Danes.

[@slayer45670]

But that movie is so good lol

[@robertcomeau6873]

It's my favorite joke of the movie. Its literally the most hackneyed version of Romeo and Juliet that could be preformed and I would pay so much money to see it.

[@gogousa6661]

It’s funny because Leonardo DiCaprio(Who murdered Bill Shakespeare) only dates Eve Drapers aka women 20 years younger than him LOL

[@kamenwaticlients]

That's the first thing I thought when the scene started. I was like wait a minute that's the movie version. Leo?

[@phousefilms]

You can see the rest of the NWA behind him smiling and you can honestly tell they're thinking "These people are gonna DIE TONIGHT."

[@Domino2097]

Apparently the car chase is Timothy Dalton's favourite scene he's ever had to do, hell he enjoyed doing this movie so much he showed up first thing in the morning to film scenes where he wasn't gonna be on camera just so Simon Pegg had someone to work with in the Manager's Office scene (they filmed the same scenes focusing on Dalton the day before)

[@jeremiahalonzo]

Dude... thats awesome

[@hrvhpkns8640]

@I steal NFT's Nah that's Danny Boyle

[@PokerPlayerJames]

@I steal NFT's He made that Beetles movie, Yesterday.

[@hrvhpkns8640]

@I steal NFT's he made the film Yesterday in like 2019

[@RltchieI]

When he was a young actor working on his first movie The Lion in Winter with Katharine Hepburn he was in a similar situation. His first scene on his first day shooting was sitting opposite Katharine & they filmed her face on doing her line & cut at the end of the day saying “Katharine you can have the day off” when they were to film his response. She said “but I talk to Tim in the scene! I am coming in tomorrow morning” & she came in the following day just to say the line to him from off camera. He obviously remembered how this big star treated him as a rookie actor & vowed to do the same for others he worked with. Nice guy as well as a fantastic actor.

[@casualjimmy3746]

"You're a Doctor, deal with it" I quote this movie almost daily lol

[@inarar5334]

Seeing people reconcile that the motive breaks down to "they made the village look bad" so most of the "crimes" are extremely petty is always so fun.

[@gogousa6661]

“You wanna be a Big Cop in a Small Town? Then fuck off up the Model Village!” Final scene takes place in the model village as a Godzilla fight lmao

[@WisteriaDrake]

It's also honestly realistic in a way. Most crimes are crimes of passion, and are often for the stupidest of reasons.

[@grizzlynad]

petty? petty? have you been to some of the small 'Little England' towns, my own still has a ducking stool! lmao!

[@UnsoberIdiot]

no, most of the crimes were people being shitheads just be a decent person and you don't need to get reprimanded

[@inarar5334]

@@UnsoberIdiot maybe drink more, get less unsober. I hate this overall argument. The police are not judge, jury and executioner, neither are they Judge Judy and executioner. And neither are the NWA. And being a shit head might deserve some kind of reprimand but get bent if you think people deserve to die without any due process for what they killed them for.

[@OofHearted]

Spotted a foreshadowing for the first time that I haven't seen any other videos note, when at the fair shooting game, the fella says to Angel "take down all the people and you get to walk away with the monkey" the monkey being Danny.

[@RustyDust101]

Danny accidentally shooting the doctor in the foot with the air-rifle on the shooting stand. Exactly the same foot he shot him with his shotgun when he threw it away in the big gunfight.

[@thegamingcook785]

​@@RustyDust101 And he's a doctor he can deal with it

[@BDog54]

I've always wondered if there was a running 'ape' joke through Shaun Of The Dead and Hot Fuzz. In Shaun Of The Dead, Ed says 'Shall I do Clyde?' in reference to his Gorilla impression, in Hot Fuzz, Danny is symbolised by the cuddly monkey.

[@notchrisrivero]

The "narp" joke is the greatest one-word joke in comedy history

[@kielanwade5096]

"Everybody and their moms are packing round here" a single line sets up the final gunfight, amazing.

[@rob.3143]

I love Aaron sitting up when the murderer shows up. You can see him instantly being more interested and wondering what's going to happen :D.

[@MitchellFace]

Even though Timothy Dalton is the most obvious villain casting. Some of the NWA is made up by known villain actors. The Doctor played Don Raphael in The Mask of Zorro. The Priest was Belloq in Raiders of the Lost Ark and Ivan Ooze in The Mighty Morphin Power Rangers movie.

[@Dylan_Platt]

Oh my GOD, the priest is Belloq AND Ivan Ooze?? Ivan Ooze is played by the same guy who played Belloq?? WHY have i never known this fact before??

And the innkeeper also played Mrs Baylock, the evil Satanic nanny in The Omen (the original one from the 70s)

[@oranmcclintock302]

I might argue this is a perfect movie, only ever gets better with rewatches.

[@muppeteer]

Love that they cast edward Woodward, the original 1980's 'Equalizer' as the head of the neighbourhood watch. He also starred in the Wicker man which this film definitely pays homage to.

[@chrispalmer7893]

Billie Whitelaw - the woman who ran the hotel - was also in the Wicker Man. Edgar Wright told her during shooting that someone was remaking it and she was horrified (an entirely reasonable response given how the Nic Cage version turned out)

[@doobsmcgee]

I've seen this movie dozens of times and just recently I caught something I've missed that's one of my favorite setups. The Andys say something like "you wanna play big cop in a small town? why don't you go fuck about the model village?" and that's where Angel ends up in his final fight. So many quick lines, everything is setup, I love how when Angel is taking out members of the NWA they are all designed to look like accidents, this is such a perfect movie.

[@NiaNeuman]

I have seen this movie roughly eight billion times. To see Aaron quoting that “Fascist” “Hag” exchange at the end after just one watch filled my heart with joy. You guys are the best.

[@neonunderground5972]

We just spent a week in the village where this was filmed. It was so great seeing all these locations. My favorite comedy of all time

[@TheBritishBarman]

You have no idea how long your British viewers have been waiting for this one.

[@CryingShayme]

I have never seen another movie so thoroughly apply the concept of chekhov's gun. It seems like in the first three quarters of the movie, nearly every line of dialogue, every character, every literal gun has a later payoff. It's insane.

[@tomin83r2]

The thing Aaron has seen about editing is Every Frame a Painting which did a video on Edgar Wright and is a great video worth watching

[@soeveth]

I love that channel just wished he continued making vids.

[@TychoCelchu]

One thing you may not be aware of. The code for the evidence locker is 999, which is the UK emergency services number, equivalent to your 911. With the cameos, the Santa who stabs him in the hand was Peter Jackson, and Janine was Cate Blanchett. So you have three people from LotR / The Hobbit. Bob from the crime scene was Joe Cornish, who directed and wrote Attack the Block. He used to do the Adam & Joe Show with Adam Buxton, who played Tim Messenger in this. This film has a lot of the best foreshadowing of any movie, ever. The colour of the Cornetto in each movie relates to the story. Red for blood in Shaun of the Dead. Blue for police in Hot Fuzz. Green for who the bad guys are in The World's End.

[@JustNardo]

"I can't tell anyone apart!" Yes Aaron... that's the joke xD this movie is hilarious. Kind of like a british Naked Gun.

[@MrBINKYB00]

Such a great way of putting it. Never thought of that before. Great job

[@ejrandler]

He's not angry, he's intense.

[@thedarkknight2221]

The funniest and most memorable scene of this whole movie is the old man with the extremely thick countryside British accent (played by David Bradley aka Mr. Filtch from Harry Potter) and the 3 person telephone game needed to understand him! I die laughing every single time I see it!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Also the woman who plays Simon Pegg’s girlfriend in the beginning is Cate Blanchett aka Galadriel aka Hela from Thor Ragnarok.

[@richardsteiner8992]

Also Walter Frey in GoT. And Jim Broadbent, who played Inspector Butterman , also played Archmaester Ebrose who mentored Sam in the Citadel. And Professor Slugthorn.

[@OllieV__nl]

It took me this long to get the joke on "fridge magnate" and I'm angry at myself now.

[@dannyb9209]

For years I thought he'd just called him the fridge magnet because he was a fat fucker...I never even got that it was fridge magnate 😂

[@RK-zf1jm]

Apprently when Timmothy dalton got the call from his agent he hung up on him because he thought they were taking the piss it wasnt until Simon pegg rang him and said look i know you said you had retired but i really want you to be in this film that he read the script and immediatley joined the cast love stories like that

[@AyanTheAlien]

Reason why it is called a cornetto trilogy: The name originates from a "silly joke" during the promotion of Hot Fuzz. Wright had written in Cornetto ice cream as a hangover cure for Frost's character in Shaun of the Dead, based on his own experiences.

[@relaxingbuilds1098]

I’ve seen this film about 100 times and it never gets boring, I like about half an hour from where it was filmed.

[@meiji_tom]

Love this film! The scene where Danny dives in front of Sgt Angel to take the bullet is a reference to Edgar Wrights old TV show Spaced (which you should totally react to as well!)

@@georgewillis592 in the English speaking world I might have to agree.

[@TheSpectre223]

With how much you're enjoying the Cornetto Trilogy I would love for you all, with Eric, to do Spaced too. There's only two seasons, seven episodes apiece, so it won't take you long. Simon and Nick super early in their careers, loads of actors you'll recognise from Sci-Fi and British tv/films generally; it's really nerdy and you'll love all the many references throughout and it's a fun time generally. Do also give Paul a watch too. It's not part of the Trilogy technically but it's still the same duo in a fun, reference-filled film which is definitely worth checking out for some easy watching.

I love this movie soooo much. I've seen it like a hundred times, every joke still lands. My favorite of the corneto trilogy by far. So glad you guys reacted to it!!! Small note about the description. This movie is from 2007, not 2017. Sorry to be picky..hehehehe

[@artboymoy]

This movie is pure genius, honoring every sort of movie genre out there, except sci-fi. Comedy, horror, action, suspense, mystery, drama, bromance... Incredible cast as well, aside from Dalton. The script is perfect too with all the callbacks. I never get tired of watching this. It's my favorite Edgar Wright film. Some cameos were Peter Jackson as Santa and Kate Blanchette as Janine.

[@Shelma32Reactions]

I love this movie so much & love that you guys are reacting to it!! I can remember going to a convention in London where Simon Pegg & Nick Frost debuted some footage from it and announced Timothy Dalton was in it. They gave out t-shirts at the end of their talk and most people scrambled at the front for them. Nick Frost saw me sitting in the front row, wanting one but too nervous to get up with the crowd and he personally handed me one. Haven't forgotten it and still have the shirt. EDIT: Plus, I also love the fact that Nick wears the football shirt of the team I grew up supporting, Bristol rovers, lol.

It’s mental to think how Michael the “jarp guy” was played by Rory McCann who later played The Hound in GoT

Also, the desk sergeants read books by Iain Banks and Iain M. Banks, respectively. Iain Banks and Iain M. Banks were the same person (he wrote mainstream fiction as Iain Banks and sci-fi as Iain M. Banks).

The World's End (3rd movie in the trilogy) has a different pace than the first two. It takes longer to pick up, but it does. But there's stll a more somber feel to it, even after it does pick up. But in the end, a great one too!

FOR THE GREATER GOOD! (The Greater Good.) This move is so very special in my heart. I was working at a dollar theater when it was released and came to my theater a few months after. My managers told me it's so funny and a must see, so, I went to see it alone after eating alone at the Outback behind the theater. Yes, alone. I had gone through a friend fall out months before I started college. I had accepted this was going to be me, loner diner and movie goer. I enjoyed Hot Fuzz so much I'm so glad I went and more over I became comfortable with myself, out of high school and that bullshit.

This is honestly one of my favorite movies bar none. I love how tight the writing and editing are, and I love how they handle the characters and everything. It is just a blast from start to finish, and it is my favorite of the "cornetto trilogy." Though, The World's End hit me like a ton of bricks. I went to see it at an opening night midnight screening while I was unemployed due to the 2009 economic downturn, and even though I reached out to my friends in the area, none of them were able to come and join me. So... yeah. That made some of the themes of the movie hit VERY hard for me at the time @_@

Probably mentioned before, but the reason why Farmer Webley got killed was that his hedge-cutting mishap and subsequent complaint exposed the village's arsenal as it was kept in his barn. Wot the villagers used at the end of the film in the massive gun battle in the square were their back-up guns.

[@crappleindusuries]

The reason it's called The Cornetto Trilogy is because they got free Cornettos at the premiere of Shaun of the Dead and figured they would see if they could get more if they did it again.

I believe, when you said 'I need to know more about him', you were referring to the older balding guy with the white beard, the head of the neighbourhood watch. That is of course, the wonderful Edward Woodward, the ORIGINAL 'Equaliser'. Check out some of the tv series, there's bound to be some on YT. I think you'll like the 80's throwback. Quite a popular tv series, which has then gone on to spawn two films with Denzel.

I've always felt that the Cornetto Trilogy was made by a group of friends just for fun. If you haven't seen it I would recommend "Spaced". It's a comedy series with a lot of the same people in it as this. It's only 14 half hour episodes and it's great.

Dept. of dirty tricks/executions. Later he was Robert McCall in the `80`s U.S. tv series the Equaliser. Then he appeared as Mr. Jones in Le Femme Nikita, the `90`s action series.

[@dsbassman4184]

I always assumed he put the ketchup in his knife hand, so when he "stabbed" he also squeezed and "blood" came out, rather than having put it in the notebook. I think the notebook was put there to stop the stab from hitting his actual chest "blood" or not. (This is one of the all time favorite movies and I've thought about it a lot lol.)

[@lowwatthalo1654]

Jim Broadbent in so many movies as was 'Walder frey' from GoT also played the caretaker in Harry Potter. Most of the older cast are well known/loved British TV & film personalities. It took the greatest plays & motives & reduced them to the tiniest village parish-politics, but done brilliantly. It's like the NWA isn't trying to bring a new world order, just keep winning Village of the Year. - very Stepford type scenario. Awesome car chases & stunts done with bog-standard production cars instead of kick-ass muscle cars. Huge firefights that showed more weapons in the movie than exist in the country. The most petty things blown up into massive shots, like doing paperwork, pouring a pint, paying for the drinks & crisps. The fight scene in the model village gave it a Godzilla v King Kong look. Amazing editing just kept you on your toes. Definitely the best of the Cornetto trilogy. FYI, swans are protected birds & officially, every swan in the UK is owned by the crown.

This gives me flashbacks to 2019 when I taught an 11 year old kid at Lostock High School. I was an Australian teaching overseas until COVID. He had the West Country accent and literally sounded like a 50 year old man. Being unable to understand him, I picked a kid to translate. Unfortunately, he was from LIVAPUL. Needed a translator for the translator.

[@TricksJD]

Hot Fuzz came out in 2007. Just pointing that out. Description says 2017.

All the dialog which comes back later in the movie is just amazing. Literally almost everything that was said.

The 'Yarp' man later played the Hound in Game of Thrones.........You should do Paul next another great fun movie by the dynamic duo.....

I mean, no, they should do "The World's End" _next_ :). (but sure, they could do 'Paul' after that - not a patch on the Cornetto trilogy IMO but it's fun too)
