*HOT FUZZ* Movie Reaction FIRST TIME WATCHING

[@jenmurrayxo]

Should we watch The World's End? SHAUN OF THE DEAD: kzbin.info/www/bejne/m3elm4WjYrCFla8 HITCHHIKER'S GUIDE: kzbin.info/www/bejne/q3OnoZxjmM-eoNU JAMES BOND Playlist: kzbin.info/aero/PLQHhQlj8i5dp_oymDpZRwVEgCMP9fUpks

[@damien-1713]

Yes. The World's End doesn't have a great reputation, but it's my favorite personal of the Cornetto trilogy. Not the funniest, but best performances and best action of the three.

[@LordVolkov]

It comes in last for me (one of them has to...), but you need to finish the trilogy regardless.

[@dbenzhuser]

You should watch it, for The Greater Good.

[@jrobwoo688]

@@Dr.Acula76 Yes! I prefer Paul over The Worlds End

[@rextside]

I feel like so many people watch / react to / review Shaun and Fuzz and The World's End is somehow the overlooked forgotten one. The World's End is excellent and might actually be my favorite of the three, I would very much like to watch your reaction.

[@mikedignum1868]

The original team-up was supposed to be with a female officer, but the script changed to bring in Danny and they kept the romance and changed it to a bromance. Another good Simon Pegg comedy is PAUL.

[@JW666]

Had they gone with that idea of the female officer I would have choosed either Olivia Colman (who plays Doris in the movie) or Tamsin Greig (from Black Books and she was also in Shaun of the Dead) for that role.

[@blakerh]

Paul sucks

[@rexmundi2986]

Yeah, Paul is awesome, not technically part of the trilogy, but great nonetheless. Definitely worth a watch.

[@Wraiven22]

I would’ve chosen Rosamund Pike. Legendary actress and they had her in The World’s End. I’m glad they went with the bromance though.

[@Kragar01]

@@JW666Better choice would have been Jessica Hynes (Stevenson) who do wrote and starred with Pegg in their original series “Spaced” would have been a great reunion. Spaced started it all before the Cornetto trilogy.

[@orvillewright122]

The phrase “By the power of Grayskull” is from a 1980s action fantasy cartoon series called HE-MAN and the Masters of the Universe.

[@AndrewGivens]

Which is, upon rewatching, surprisingly funny and enjoyable. Fun villains too, Trap-Jaw being my personal favourite. Also, *rotoscoping* ! A really neat old-school animation technique, used plenty in the stock shots of running characters in the show.

[@reverance_pavane]

All the actors playing the villagers of the hidden council were once quite famous for secret agent and detective roles in the distant past. Another clue as to something that was going on. There was a impressive amount of callbacks in the film, all of which were used. making it well worth watching again to spot the them. The acting instructions for Timothy Dalton was literally "ham it up and be as suspicious as possible." I think this is a masterpiece of editing by Edgar Wright.

[@Docktavion]

I came to say the same thing. So many through away lines and messages on boards/posters etc. always worth a second/third etc. watch to pick them all up.

[@allanalogmusicat78rpm]

The vicar was Belloq in RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK.

[@Turalcar]

It's not that easy being a British actor of their age without playing a spy at some point

[@cartoonerystudios]

Hopefully someone has mentioned this, but Simon Pegg and Nick Frost are best friends and used to be flatmates before they succeeded on a TV show called "Spaced", also directed by Edgar Wright.

[@Kragar01]

Spaced does not get enough love,

[@jambulance]

Spaced had me laughing almost harder than the movies, that show destroyed me.

[@nevrogers8198]

Filmed near me in N London. The current inhabitants of the house get constant attention from fanboys (and girls) checking out where it all happened. Apart from a cameo in Shaun of the Dead, Jessica Stephenson (now Hynes) has had a separate career arc since, which is a shame cos she and Pegg were great together too. Nobody is reacting to it online yet but fairly sure it would quickly gather attention. Essential part of late 90s culture.

[@nathanadler8316]

Weighing in with another upvote for Spaced.

[@benabel7326]

[@VulcanDeathGrip44]

Two nominations for movies with Timothy Dalton: Flash Gordon and the Rocketeer.

I love the juxtaposition of Simon's character in Shaun of the Dead being completely unserious at first but becoming more serious by the end and this film, where it's the exact opposite.

[@lazyperfectionist1]

27:35 "Is he really dead or is he just... miming?" 😄A fair question.

[@aaronjohnson8786]

Hot Fuzz is quite possibly my favorite film of all time, so I've researched tons of BTS materials and trivia, and the most important tidbit of information I have about this film is that it "only" cost about $12 million to make. This film shows the importance of writing in filmmaking. While the actual filming took only 4 weeks to complete, the screenplay took 18 months.

[@Yora21]

This is really one of the few 10/10 movies.

[@mattjones7226]

​@@Yora21I concur.

[@JustWasted3HoursHere]

Wow, 18 months? That's impressive. This shows that writing really is about re-writing, getting it fine-tuned and running on all cylinders and this one doesn't miss a beat.

[@batbrick3949]

In the UK, regular police constables don’t normally carry guns. If there is an incident that requires firearms, then the Authorised Firearms Officers (AFO) will respond. At the beginning of the film, the narrator mentioned that Nicholas had formerly been on the Armed Response Unit. So, he was highly skilled with guns.

[@codohundo]

A lot of people miss that the guy who played Lurch (Yarp) also played The Hound in game of thrones.

Everybody sleeps on this, I think Jen you should be the coolest reactor on KZbin and eventually watch series 1 and 2 of Spaced, it's this whole crew before they did movies. It's only 14 episodes but it's a breeze to get through and you'll have some damn feelings too.

[@NThurkettle]

I love that you're willing to go further back in time than most movie reactors, so I'll recommend "The Lion in Winter," which is a wickedly-fun British movie from the late 60's about King Henry II and all his backstabbing family members scheming for power against one another at Christmas, and features the young versions of many actors you've seen on this journey of yours - including Anthony Hopkins and a *22-year-old* Timothy Dalton. The headliners are Peter O'Toole and Katharine Hepburn and you never saw two actors have more fun spitting insults at one another.

[@StickFigureStudios]

A GREAT Timothy Dalton film you need to see is THE ROCKETEER. You'll love it.

Don’t let anybody put you off watching ‘The World’s End’, Jen. Its reputation as the weakest of the trilogy is undeserved.

Basically every single scene in this movie is forshadowing, setup, or payoff, or a gag in their own right. A lot of English names are based on old jobs. Smith and Cooperare the famous ones.

The only thing that wasn’t true to life was that the swan they’re chasing was a mute swan, and they don’t make any noises apart from sort of wheezy cough sounds. Other than that, 100% accurate. And the cast… oh boy! The village is absolutely stacked with actors from action movies, police dramas and crime films! You’ve got James Bond, the Equaliser, the lead in The Wicker Man, the villains from Raiders of the Lost Ark and Lethal Weapon 2, the mum from the Krays, the Hound, any number of British comedy actors and two Oscar winners!

If you love the dashing Timothy Dalton, I would highly recommend Wuthering Heights (1970), Flash Gordon (1980), Brenda Starr (1989), The Rocketeer (1991), and The Beautician and the Beast (1997). Also, don’t miss the TV miniseries Jane Eyre (1983).

Penny Dreadful with Timothy Dalton is great. Also has Eva Green.

**Timoth Dalton is in the scene** Clean-up, aisle Jen! 🤣 🤣

Simon Pegg and Nick Frost _are_ best friends in real life. Nick tells a great story about how Simon "sprayed him with his nerd musk" by perfectly mimicking the sound of a mouse droid from Star Wars.

The DVD of this film (yep, I bought the whole trilogy) has a "pop up" function, wherein text appears at the bottom of the screen, indicating the insane number of references and Easter eggs in the film...there are, literally, dozens of them. e.g.: A local couple are reported as giving birth to twins, named Roger and Martin, the two names of Danny Glover and Mel Gibson in the Lethal Weapon series...
