Simon Pegg and Nick Frost Double Feature. Hot Fuzz: Top London cop Police Constable ... more
Nicholas Angel (Simon Pegg) finds himself reassigned to the sleepy West Country village of Sandford. With garden fetes and neighbourhood watch meetings replacing the action of the city Angel struggles to adapt to his situation and finds himself partnered with Danny Butterman (Nick Frost) an oafish but well meaning young Constable. Just as all seems lost a series of grisly accidents motivates Angel into action. Convinced of foul play Angel realises that Sandford may not be as idyllic as it seems.... Shaun Of The Dead: Shaun (Simon Pegg) is not quite your average twentysomething. Lacking any real ambition and drifting along in a job that he hates he drives his long-suffering girlfriend Liz (Kate Ashfield) up the wall. Despite being a very decent chap Shaun suddenly gets a very rude wake up call when the undead begin roaming the earth (or London's Crouch End at least) and with the help of his slacker chum Ed (Nick Frost) he must save Liz and his dear mum from becoming zombies! Well that's if he can get out of the local pub...

Not only does the movie have the rather modest scope of a TV production, it also boasts the snappy editing, smart camera moves, and deliciously post-modern dialogue familiar from the sitcom, as well as using many of the same cast: Peggs Shaun and Nick Frosts Ed are doppelgangers of theirSpacedcharacters, while Jessica Stevenson and Peter Serafinowicz appear in smaller roles.

In Shaun Of The Dead, Simon Pegg is Shaun. Dumped by his neglected girlfreind, Liz, stuck in a dead-end job and living with his lazy, unemployed freind Ed, Shaun decides he has to turn his moribund life around. Unfortunately, on the day he chooses to begin his new life, multitudes of dead bodies choose to begin theirs too! As a result, London is invaded by hordes of flesh-hungry zombies. With the situation looking increasingly desperate, a hero is needed. Forward, Shaun and save the day!
Hot Fuzz has Pegg as the ultimate beat bobby, sergeant Nicholas Angel, the jewel in the crown of the metropolitan police. When Angel becomes so good he embarrasses the rest of the met, however, he is sent to police the quiet, sleepy village of Sandford, where he reuniteds with Shaun of the Dead's Ed, this time Angel's witless partner, constable Danny Butterman, who dreams of high-octane car chases and explosive, gunslinging action. When the pair get suspicious about Sandford's phenomenally low crime rate and oddly high accident rate, these dreams might just become reality!
Simon Pegg is a genius! Both of these films are absolutely hilarious. When I saw Hot Fuzz at the cinema, the entire audience laughed almost continuously! The side-splitting humour never stops but as well as this, both films have a proper plot, action, character development, emotion and everything that goes into a good film. By no means is either simply a slapstick comedy. Very, very highly reccommended!

DVD Description
Features the films HOT FUZZ and SHAUN OF THE DEAD, comedies that parody police action films and horror films respectively. In HOT FUZZ, Police officer Nicholas Angel (Simon Pegg) is transferred to a rural village. On arrival, Angel teams up with the oaf-like PC Danny Butterman (Nick Frost) and together they investigate a series of mysterious murders, all of which are classed as ‘accidents’ by the increasingly strange townsfolk. In SHAUN OF THE DEAD, Shaun (Nick Frost) and his best friend Ed (Nick Frost) find their lives a little busy as the dead are coming back to life and trying to eat the living. Now they must rescue the family and take them to a place of safety. The local pub seems the obvious choice to them.
