"I used to believe in the immutable word of the Law. That is until the night Mrs. Butterman was taken from me. You see no-one loved Sandford more than her - she was head of the Women's Institute, chair of the floral committee. When they started the Village of the Year contest, she worked around the clock. I've never seen such dedication. On the eve of the adjudicator's arrival, some travellers moved into Callaghan Park. Before you could say 'gypsy scum' we were knee-deep in dog muck, thieving kids and crusty jugglers. We lost the title. And Irene lost her mind. She drove her Datsun Cherry into Sandford Gorge. From that moment on, I swore that I would do her proud." Directed by: Edgar Wright Starring: Simon Pegg, Nick Frost, Jim Broadbent, Timothy Dalton, Paddy Considine Genre: Act...Read more

"Bring the noise!!!" After the great success of the 2004 British comedy Shaun of the Dead it was inevitable that the filmmakers would team up for another spoof. Unlike the brainless spoof films created by the Americans who never have any conception of plot, Hot Fuzz is unique and brilliant. Instead of brainlessly spoofing films while focusing on the laughs, Hot Fuzz is a parody of the action genre as well as an addition to the action genre. There are plenty of clever laughs that improve with every screening, not to mention a lot of high-energy action and a genius amalgamation of every action film cliché under the sun. It would take a very talented bunch of filmmakers to actually make this idea work; needless to say I was very impressed with the efforts of everyone who took part in the ...Read more

Hot Fuzz i thought was a good comedy Nick Frost i thought was the funniest with a lot of good jokes which actually made me laugh. Simon Pegg also did a great job better then other movies.
My favorite scene is in Somerfield Supermarket because it was just a fun scene to watch and entertaining.
The movie also featured David Threlfall who plays Frank in Channel 4's drama Shameless who plays a small part as Martin Blower. A lot of people you may recognize in the movie. Worth watching. The 2 disc DVD is a must buy.

One of the best films of the year in my opinion. It combines comedy with action and does it brilliantly. This is not one to be missed. Sergeant Nicholas Angel gets transferred to a quite town of Sandford, where at first everything seems crime-related as the first night there he arrests a bunch of people. One of these them was Danny Butterman, his new partner and boss' son. It is only soon after Angel arrives that a series of murders occur and he is the only one in that village that is determined to find out who is responsible, as everyone else seems to think they are "accidents". So Angel and Danny team up and do all they can to find out who is responsible, delivering fantastic action scenes and hilarious lines. Simon Pegg was brilliant in every possible way. His character was perfec...Read more

His superiors being jealous of his perfect record, Sergeant Nicholas Angel (Simon Pegg) is transferred from London to the seemingly crime-free village of Sandford. There he meets his new partner, Danny Butterman (Nick Frost), the witless son of the police chief. A series of shocking accidents upsets the village, and Angel is certain that the village is not what it seems.

Brilliant acting, well-directed.
Yes, some scenes at the end are gruesome, but they are well done and quite funny.

Filled with car chases, gun fights, explosive bodies, this is a hilarious comedy.

(Thanks to Prelude76 for recommending this movie to me, I wouldn't have watched it otherwise, and would have missed on a great British film.)

This movie was one of the best suprises lately. You should definitely check this one out if you haven't seen it.

Not so much a spoof film as an original masterpiece. This followup to Shaun of the Dead is no sophomore bust as Simon Pegg and Nick Frost deliver again.

Definitely pointed satire and mockery of typical action films. Bogged down a bit by the lengthy intro/exposition scenes but MORE than delivered in the second hour with an in-your-face blowout that was intense and crazy and awesome. Definitely worth seeing if you like British comedy, but Shaun of the Dead was better.

I would have to say the best part of this film is in fact the filming technique and how it just outright mocks the high action cut shots, pans and the "high intensity" close-ups.

There are plenty of general laughs however. One of those movies that if you don't laugh once you probably aren't the type to be invited to many parties, people consider you to be a bit of a downer. But you are guaranteed to have some fun however and there are so many parts where you just can't help but chuckle.

**May contain spoilers**

I was afraid this was going to be exactly like Shaun of the Dead (I have nothing against it, I just hate tired repeats) but I was pleasantly surprised. Hot Fuzz is an action-packed comedy, set in a British village which has it's comparisons to Stepford (calling it Sanford would hint at this too). I was surprised at how graphic it was for comedy, the effects were fantastic and extremely well done, but it did seem a little odd (I'm not complaining though).

The cast is littered by British comedic jems who fill their roles well. (I must just say, I was amazed by the two Bill Baileys, that was just genius.) Fans of British comedy won't want to miss this.

A real treat for SPACED fans. Essentially the film that Shaun of The Dead should have been. Once upon a time Edgar Wight directed Simon Pegg (and his friend Nick Frost) in a seminal television comedy SPACED - a show that featured quick comedy, fast plot twists, and jokes that build on previous jokes for the entire episode. One of the funniest and clever things ever to reach a television screen. Sadly, the trio's first big screen outing - Shaun of the Dead - wasn't as nearly as much fun. Hot Fuzz rectifies this, and is every bit as good as SPACED ever was. Whereas Shaun of The Dead tended to drag in places, Hot Fuzz is much closer to the original SPACED feel. A punchy, quirky, fast paced comedy with a reasonable budget that could be spent on guns and explosions. The film fea...Read more
