It was so expensive because they had to license every film shown in Andy’s library as well as the rights to both Point Break and Bad Boys II, as well of the likenesses of all the people in those clips, including a stunt double from the Point Break clip.

I've always just loved how this movie shifts genres, from a simple fish-out-of-water comedy to an incredibly bloody, Wicker Man-ish horror-comedy to a gleefully OTT parody of the shoot-em-up action movies it's been talking about for its whole running time, while telling a coherent story with consistent characters.

[@iFACEPLANTalot1]

I live about 10 minutes from where this was filmed (Wells city one of the smallest cities in Europe smaller than most towns) and in case you didn't know its where Edgar Wright grew up, and people round here use Hot Fuzz quotes like a second language.

[@JakeSezz]

I heard Edgar Wright mention that in one of the commentary tracks for the BluRay! Have to admit: it makes me wanna visit the town and area.

[@Spo8]

It's so rare that people outside of a few major cities get any kind of movie that takes place where they live. Imagine living in one of the tiniest cities and out of nowhere you get one of the best movies.

​@@JakeSezztheres nothing too do there, except for seeing the cathedral

[@catfish552]

Another perspective on this film that I don't think a lot of people see: It takes British small-town crime drama and smashes it headfirst into Hollywood action films, buddy cop movies, and slasher horror. "Big police action flick in a small town" is already a funny premise - but a in addition it's sending shows like Midsomer Murders, which was running for ten years at that point (and is still going today): The idea of that much violent crime in rural England is pretty amusing already. Putting a brutal murder conspiracy in that same setting makes it fucking hilarious. Bonus fun fact about Detectives Wainwright and Cartwright: Those names mean almost exactly the same thing.

One of my favorite details of the movie is the rifle that Angel when he gets all of his weapons from the police station is the FAL, otherwise known as the right arm of the Free World. It was created by NATO to be a weapon not for war, but for keeping the peace, which is the perfect weapon for the perfect peacekeeper of Angel.

[@jdprettynails]

One of my favourite things is when they used something like six dramatic camera cuts for one reload of a shotgun. There's so much in this film for EVERY kind of film nerd to geek out over.

[@ericjamieson]

One of my favorite BTS bits is how Edgar Wright explains that in the scene when Angel and Skinner meet while jogging, the original take didn't match the storyboards so they reshot it, but then when editing, they realized that in the original take, Dalton kept moving into the center of the frame and shoving Pegg off to the side, and that made Skinner seem subtly threatening so that's the take they ended up using. Just so much care and detail in this movie.

[@Kinghenhog39]

A smile to someone who hasn't received one in days, a compliment on a purse, a moment to listen when someone needs it." - You have that quality, though you may feel down and struggle, realize how much you bring to people, the quality of your productions, and your insight, are glorious.

Constantly. John Oliver's a funny guy but he'll never day anything good about England. And that's OK, I do the opposite. We invented three modern police force, through the Peelian Principles. One of the big ones is to agree to Police But Consent. They are allowed to police us only but our consent. Which we can withdraw at any time. That's why they are not armed, it's part of the contract. That's why they are polite and are supposed to strictly follow the code, _it's part of the contract_ We are proud of this, proud of them. Their strength is a reflection of our strength. Angel is the what we strive for all our officers to be. We're not there yet. But we have no doubt that we will.

I watch this movie once a year easily and have seen it probably 20+ times (and pick up on new things each time).

I saw this movie in the theater without knowing anything about it before hand. Hot Fuzz is one of my favorite movies of all time. I'm glad you reviewed it. Well done!

Great movie, and great video! I remember getting a real kick out of Danny's fascination with American cop movies the first time I watched it. I had a roommate from the UK and it always kinda stuck in my head, the way he told me how British cops enjoy US cop movies but they do NOT aim to emulate US police tactics and force. Over the last decade I feel like cop movies and tv shows have turned into dangerous Cop-aganda that has caused the self-proclaimed "free-est country on earth" to celebrate invasive policing and mass incarceration. I dunno, my cousin was one of the most corrupt cops to ever wear a badge and he spent years in prison for the things he did, so maybe I'm biased. Either way, great video and synopsis.

And once again, I'm back to this video, watching it for the umpteenth time. I don't know how to break free from the endless spiraling hole I seem fated to eventually succumb too, but hey, this is one of those little things that I can listen too in the back of my mind, and it lessens the pain a bit. So, thanks Mikey, the part at the beginning always gets me.

I know what is getting all the popular votes, but... Seriously Man on Fire gets my vote because it's the most out there choice of movies. I want to know what you'll say about it. Man on Fire, 1000%.

I've lost count of how many times I've rewatched Hot Fuzz. You couldn't have done a better job on this one. Thank you, Mikey! I hope you do 10 Cloverfield Lane next.

I think the world is largely the same as it was ten (now 13) years ago. It's just we're all collectively more aware of the problems than we used to be.

Take how much you enjoy this movie, then add the factor of living in the part of the UK they're poking fun at and imagine how much I enjoy this movie. I can't buy chewing gum and my local store without suppressing laughter because of this fucking movie. All time favourite comedy.

17:10 Wow I must have seen this movie like 15 times but I never noticed that

[@makingbabytaylor]

Hot Fuzz is one of our very favorites. I could never tire of it because it’s just so fun to watch. But even after the countless times I’ve seen it, I have never really thought about it with this much depth. I only ever enjoyed it for the face value entertainment- a hilarious comedy with some great quotable lines, with some badass action that doesn’t leave you feeling stressed about the moral murkiness of the hero mindlessly murdering the “bad guys.” But you’re absolutely right and I will never look at it the same way again. And for that, this video is just as brilliant as the film.

I know you were trepidatious about this one, but out of the park my dude! Your passion for film inspires me. I am fairly certain, I have watched all of your content at least three times. I hope you have found your destiny in making these videos. Shame though, I think you would have made a great Muppet...

The phenomenally constructed, multi-layered textures of this film, mean that whenever I run into it on TV, I always stop whatever I'm doing and pivot to watch it. It is simply *GLORIOUS.* There isn't a single weak link in it - from performance, to script, to cinematography, to direction, to editing - it's all just brilliant isn't it? And you can tell it's been crafted by someone who knows and _loves_ film. The sheer number of *_Chekov's Guns_* in this film is a work of art in itself, aside from everything else... 🖤 LOL at _goody two feet,_! (is that a US thing? We say goody two _shoes_ here. 'Feet' just made me laugh...) 😂

anyone watching this in 2020 and its sad how relevant all the issues are still
