An overachieving London police sergeant is transferred to a village where the easygoing officers object to his fervor for regulations, all while a string of grisly murders strikes the town.

People talk about Chekov's Gun, this is Chekov's Arsenal.

[@adelucas4824]

When I watched it the first time I never even thought about the arsenal, but the end sequence was so incredible and had been set up earlier so well. There isn't a single thing in the movie that's unnecessary. Every scene, every item is essential. Even down to the swan. You think it's just a bit of fluff for comedic purposes and to flesh out rural life, then it plays a pivotal part later on. An absolute masterclass in film making.

[@suitedpanda3108]

[@347Jimmy]

You know what makes this funny? This is exactly how my grandfather spoke. And yes, you needed two layers of translation to get even close to understanding it (if it is my uncle that did the translating). He was also exactly this sort of man - small time farmer in what back then was a very rural area. You know what makes this hilarious? My grandfather was Turkish. Some things are the same everywhere in the world.

[@evilsharkey8954]

For a farmer, a gun is a tool.

[@kirkmooneyham]

I'm an American, but I spent a few years in East Anglia, quite some years ago now. There was this one old farmer whose land butted up against the semi-rural housing estate I lived in, east of Bury St. Edmunds. My friend and I were working on his car out in front of the house, and the farmer came up to the nearby fence with his dog. We walked over and greeted him, then he launched into a story. The best I could tell, his family had gotten a Jeep from some Americans during WWII or after WWII and used it around the farm for many years, but he had to work on it a lot. It was pretty painful to try and piece that together, I can tell you. Sounded quite a bit like the old farmer in the clip here.

[@foamer443]

Canadian here. When I was an apprentice I was sent to a job and partnered up with this fellow from Yorkshire, a great guy. The thought process was they knew my parents were English and my Mother had an accent (though I never heard it myself), therefore figuring I could understand him. NOT at all except for the odd word or phrase.

[@PumpkinHoard]

Lol, yeah. I'm from Norfolk and the accents round here were pretty damn thick in the past. I've had situations pretty much EXACTLY like the one in this clip when I was a kid. Having my grandad or someone significantly older than me translate what some elderly people (almost always men) were saying. I was basically the Nick Frost/Chubby Cop in that situation lol. I can translate the unintelligible farmerspeak these days, you just never hear it anymore.

[@dawntraveler42]

I used to work for a Japanese import/export company, and had to translate between my manager who spoke excellent, but thickly Japanese accented English, and one of our customers in Brooklyn, who also spoke excellent, but thickly Yiddish accented English. after a 30-minute conference call, they were able to wrap up all of the contract particulars. And afterwards, each one of them asked me how I could possible understand the other. Too me, it all made perfect sense.

He's BOTH desk sergeants. They're identical twins named Turner who have both been assigned PC number 101. There's an Easter egg about the books he's reading. They're by an author named Iain Banks who writes both fiction (as Iain Banks) and science fiction (as Iain M[enzies] Banks). The night shift guy is reading _Complicity_ , a murder mystery novel, and the day shift guy is reading _State of the Art_ , a science fiction anthology named after the title of one of its novellas.

The military has to train new recruits to avoid the temptation to gather unexploded ordinances (UXOs) into a neat pile. Not only does gathering them endanger the soldier, but if any of the UXOs detonates the entire pile does too, making them much more dangerous. Note their locations, mark them, but don't touch or move them.
