Nicolas Doesn't Understand The West Country Accent | Hot Fuzz | Screen Bites

A former Londoner moving to the countryside has to adapt in more ways than one - like understanding what the local folk are saying for example... Google translate anyone?
Hot Fuzz (2007) SYNOPSIS: As a former London constable, Nicholas Angel (Simon Pegg) finds it difficult to adapt to his new assignment in the sleepy British village of Sandford. Not only does he miss the excitement of the big city, but he also has a well-meaning oaf (Nick Frost) for a partner. However, when a series of grisly accidents rocks Sandford, Nick smells something rotten in the idyllic village.

Anyone who wants to shoot can, its piss easy to get a basic gun license and there are gun ranges everywhere.

@David Jones Well, if a weapon is an amalgamation of plastic polymers and steel then stabbing someone is just the art to introduce a sharp section of steel into another homo sapiens sapiens biological structure, Am I right? Also, even if your intentions are "very" malicious you can't shoot someone with a pistol at 50m if you dont have access to that pistol. I agree that the intention is what matters and the fact that a gun is just a tool but that doesn't mean that anyone should or must have access to a fire weapon. Thanks to that our part of the Atlantic has a relatively low death ratio meanwhile on the US your slaughter house has 15K himocides with a gun per year... 15K!

The evidence locker became their new armory

[@williammeyer2584]

Actually it was all evidence for the entire duration of the movie for when it was shown till the end. The only reason Angel used it was because 1. He had no other options, 2. He needed as much firepower as possible to take down the entire town of Sanford, and 3. He wanted to look badass af. If you see in action scenes in the climax, most of not all the guns still have their evidence tags on. While the guns were not actually part of the armory during the time that the movie takes place, I think it’s a safe bet that Angel got a court order that allowed the Sanford police to use Webley’s guns for their armory considering they had none to begin with.

[@DeathnoteBB]

@@williammeyer2584 Yeah they’re saying the evidence locker is so filled with weapons, it’s basically the new armory, and basically also becomes so for the end of the movie. It’s clever writing and a textbook example of a chekov’s gun (or armory, lol)

Multi layered visual gag..all the weaponry in the barn…and then…a sea mine…(like…wtf? a *sea* mine??). Brilliant.

[@amitdahal1698]

This is the best part of the entire movie

[@epicfail3167]

This movie is so brilliant Nearly every scene subtly references another scene, one of these examples was pointed out by S Schulze below with the hedge, the two doofus officers saying Angel can go down in the phone books and look for Aaron A. Anderson (or something along those lines) and him showing up at the end I could bore you with every detail but it is astounding to me that the writers were able to basically write back and forth until they had a more cohesive story than 97% of all modern movies

[@soly-dp-colo6388]

Aaron A. Aaronson, I think.

this trilogy is one of the best films ever, this scene is so good in and of itself but also a good set up to the later part of the movie.

45 years ago I went on a student exchange to Bristol. I had lived there before and it quite amusing when the other Americans realized that I could understand it. Read The Coreck Way to Speak Bristle. When arriving our coach driver didn’t know the way to our college. I went up front and directed him. It was like a scene from Groundhog Day.

I remember once moving to Devon with my dad. We saw a hill that looked perfect to walk the dog but didn't know how to get to it. So my dad stopped an old guy and asked him. His accent was so thick that we didn't understand a word he said. It sounded like gibberish. My dad kept on nodding as he was talking and thanked the guy. I'm from and currently live in Somerset and most people here have very easy to understand accents. The stereotypical Wurzels accent is very rare

Oh to have watched this in the cinema when it first came out. Amazing film!

So this is the British version of Appalachian dialectic.

[@chrisholland7367]

Lol not sure but if it is then this where it may of originated from. I'm from the southwest of England ,county of Devon, city of Plymouth. There's no standard accent in the British isles. The accent you've listened to is similar to what is spoken in the southwest of England because there is agriculture and fisheries in Devon because of coastal geography which make up a percentage of industries .The further you travel into the southwest IE into the next county of Cornwall the broader the accent.

[@Powwer69]

The Appalachian dialect was derived from the Gaelic of the Scots-Irish who settled in that part of the country. Being more isolationist, the dialect was able to be preserved over the years, were the dialect of the rest of the country was able to evolve away from the British.

[@Numantino312]

@@Powwer69 have heard it said that america's present day "southern accents" are far closer to british accents from 1600s than those of today. probably the case, though how would anybody know how anybody else talked in 1600s at all. not like we have voice recordings from then.

[@stuartcolwell5045]

@@Powwer69 "Scots-Irish" roughly means the same as Ulster-Scot. Who weren't Gaelic speakers, but were actually speakers of the Scots language. Ulster-Scots, and Scots were often referred to as Billies, after King William/of Orange. They left Ulster and settled in the Appalachian Hills, and became known as Hillbillies. I can assure you, they weren't actually Irish. Their kin today in Ulster would heavily object to being referred to as Irish.

[@soly-dp-colo6388]

You should listen to a Yorkshire accent (in the North of England). That's a really good one.

[@stevetheduck1425]

Norfolk, that bit that sticks out North of London on the map, has, in the countryside, what may be the most retro accent of all. 'Thissen = 'This one' = someone nearby, 'Thyssen' = 'Yourself' but informal, 'M'sen' = 'myself'. It's how English worked long ago.

About a year ago, I went to a pub in Clyst Honiton (a village in the West Country) and asked whether they had wine. They spent a couple of minutes looking, then showed me a bottle and said it was all they could find. I checked the label. It was mead. They had no wine at all. I had a glass, it was quite nice.

visual comedy at its finest

[@blondepotatoboi]

I wonder if Webley was actually in charge of holding onto all those guns for the villains... there's no way he was the only one who knew about several dozen rifles in one small village. Plus it'd probably explain why he was killed, by getting the villain's weapons locked up when Angel was sent to deal with him for something completely unrelated

[@JosephOD]

he was killed cause he trimmed the hedge of Mr. Reaper (one of the NWA) the movie is making fun of how most cop movies the little crimes where somehow connected to the bigger crime. But in Hot Fuzz those people were killed for petty reasons.

[@giovannicervantes2053]

Not entirely out of the realms of possibility that he just "found 'em" as he said. Happens from time to time. Probably not those types of guns. But I remember awhile back a farmer discovered an old cache of AK's and grenades from the troubles just buried on his land.
