"23.7. Blu-ray Uusintakatselu. Riemukasta ja lämpöistä pollarielokuvaparodiaa olematta vain pollarielokuvaparodiaa. Viitteitä maaseutukauhuunkin joo, mutta ei tee pilkkaa, kuin korkeintaan itsestään ja toimii erinomaisesti erihauskana pollarielokuvana itsenäisestikin."

Fictional Places You Don’t Want To Visit (205 movies items)

"Sandford, England The setting is the fictitious town of 'Sandford' – the all-purpose place name used in UK police training exercises. Which itself is England's smallest city, Wells in Somerset, at the foot of the Mendip Hills in the West of England, about four miles from Glastonbury. Why you wouldn’t want to visit: The villagers want to keep things safe, and crime free.... “For the greater good.”"

A daring and enjoyable comedy starring Simon Pegg

“I will admit to you, the film does start off slowly, and the finale is very over the top. Plus the murders are unashamedly brutal. But Hot Fuzz is a hugely enjoyable, original and daring comedy. It is fast-paced fun from start to finish. And all this is helped by a sharply observed screenplay, next to flawless comic timing and a wonderful performance from Simon Pegg playing it straight as the over zealous cop. The supporting actors do just as brilliantly with Nick Frost the standout and Jim Broadbent brilliant as always.

My Top 85 Favorite 2nd Chapter Sequels (85 movies items)

" Originally, I hesitated about including this movie on this list, because I see it more as its own individual film, but since Pegg and Frost have stated that it's "Part 2" of their so-called "Three Flavours Cornetto" trilogy, the rest of the world of cinema fans have come to regard as an actual sequel to first Cornetto, Shaun of the Dead. So, I put here simply more as a way of avoiding any eventual questions of why it was not included.   Hot Fuzz is a film by the same duo responsible for what"
