Hot Fuzz (DVD)

...I didn’t expect was this. Hot fuzz started off fairly slow and after the first twenty minutes or so I have to admit, I was a little disappointed, the humour was there but the story and events so far were a long way short of Shaun of the dead. After this though, my opinion was changed in a heartbeat as the story took a sinister turn and the humour and slapstick were quite literally shelled out by the bucket load. I suddenly found myself having to ...
...I have to say that Hot fuzz was one of the most uplifting and humorous two hours I’ve spent in some time. DVD – The DVD is very well presented and jam packed with extras. The sound and picture quality are absolutely brilliant, a sharp and clear picture without so much as a blemish in sight and crisp, clear sound that is in my opinion at least, even better than you’d get in the cinema, a very professional package. This two disk set contains the film ...

Review of Hot Fuzz (DVD)

...what the actor could do. Hot Fuzz continues that approach as the film is made by the same writers as Shaun of the Dead. Although Pegg is the key focus in the film, it is the vast British acting talent that he has surrounded himself with that makes the film enjoyable and gives it an extra depth to watch. The plot starts out as a simple yet quite unfriendly situation. PC Nicholas Angel has been given a one time opportunity to relocate to the village ...
...The vast acting talent makes Hot Fuzz a film that adds a superior touch of class to it overall. I personally was surprised as to the cast list as it does genuinely read as a Who's Who of acting. Add in cameos from Bill Nighy, Steve Coogan, Martin Freeman and even an unrecognisable Cate Blanchett then the film is a leviathan of names. Of course not mentioning the person who played Santa Claus in the opening scene, but he had just directed the Lord ...

Review of Hot Fuzz (DVD)

The problem with putting out a decent debut; be it film, book or music; is that everyone expects your next effort to be better or at least equal in quality. Sometimes, in producing something wonderful first time out, it's like one-upmanship, except that the person you're effectively saying "Ha! Top THAT!" to is yourself. Such was the problem facing Simon Pegg and Edgar Wright after their debut feature film "Shaun of the Dead" was such a success. ...
...So, no pressure then. Nicholas Angel is the pride of London's Metropolitan Police. Well, no, that's not quite true. He's far and away their best officer, but that means he's making everyone else look bad by raising the average figures to levels no-one else can meet. With this in mind, his superiors decide that it's time to give him a well deserved promotion to Sergeant and a different patch to work in. Arriving in the quiet town of Sandford, Sergeant ...

Review of Hot Fuzz (DVD)

If you haven't heard of Hot Fuzz, you must have been living under a rock for the last month. Or, at least, not watching TV at all. Simon Pegg, and to a lesser extent Nick Frost and Edgar Wright, have been mercilessly plugging this film on every single TV opportunity possible, as well as doing a series of signings up and down the country! Film 2007, the Culture Show, even Top Gear and the Baftas - none were safe from their promotional chit chat. ...
...the Dead, I went into Hot Fuzz simply praying it wouldn't be awful. I needn't have worried. The story is another SOTD-style mixture of genres, this time a loving parody of both rural-set murder mysteries, and Hollywood buddy/action flicks. Sgt Nicholas Angel (Pegg) is a London cop with an arrest rate 400% higher than anyone else. In fact he's so good that he's making everyone else look bad. So, against his will, his superiors ship him off to Sandford ...

Review of Hot Fuzz (DVD)

As a rule, I am often disappointed by British comedies. So frequently they rely on the lead character being a bumbling idiot (see most Hugh Grant roles), but that format was tired and boring a long time ago. "Shaun Of The Dead" was the opposite of that, and it was hugely successful and well received by the critics. A lot of this is down to the fact that it was more americanised than the standard Brit comedy. "Hot Fuzz" sees the return of the team ...
...comedy can combine action with a touch of core and still be really funny. Simon Pegg teams up with Nick Frost, and his co-writer Edgar Wright takes the directorial reins of this parody of American buddy cop films. Pegg stars as Nicholas Angel, a highly motivated and focused London policeman whose girlfriend has left him for another man. He makes so many arrests he makes the rest of The Met look bad. In order to save face, his superiors relocate him ...

Review of Hot Fuzz (DVD)

...good comedy film, so how Hot Fuzz has passed me by so far is a bit of a mystery to me. I loved Simon Pegg's feature film "Run Fat Boy Run" and since I have seen that, lots of people have told me that I would definitely enjoy Hot Fuzz too. So when I went to stay at my parents for a week and they suggested we watch a film, I spotted Hot Fuzz on the shelf and immediately decided that was the film of choice. My family do enjoy a comedy film, and this ...
...a twist to it, then Hot Fuzz is definitely one for you. Simon Pegg is just brilliant as PC Angel and is such a good comedy actor that he makes the film even better. The rest of the cast are also super, and spotting the cameos throughout is great too, this film does boast a lot of big British names. It has a great story which is slightly ridiculous but thats why it works. Both me, my fiance and my parents all loved it so it is a film to suit all ages, ...

...Man who would be Fuzz Hot Funk Fuzz-o-Meter Storyboard Flick Book: The Other Side We did not fancy watching the bonus material but we did manage the outtakes and found a few of them to be quite funny. The DVD has a running time of 1 hour and 56 minutes which I felt to be slightly too long for this type of film and thought it could have been edited down to less than 1 hour and a half but that it just my personal opinion. The certificate on this ...
...is a lot of bad language and to my surprise a lot of comedy violence which I will admit to not finding funny as it was happening on screen. I found it was a shock to me to see this type of violence in a comedy and don’t think I would have been so keen on watching the film if I would have known as I don’t like even the slightest scary film (yes I know I am a softy and sad!) We paid £5 for the DVD from Tesco which I feel was a great price and would ...

...In fact, he is so hot that he is making his colleagues look bad. With this in mind Angel’s superiors send him away to Sandford, a village so sleepy it is practically comatose. Here he is partnered with the oafish Danny Butterman, a young PC looking for action of any kind. While at first Angel is suffocated by the pastoral atmosphere, bodies soon begin to appear and he and Danny are pressed into action. Sandford, it seems, may not be so idyllic after ...
...actually quite dull. So when Hot Fuzz was released I decided to give it a miss. The the other evening my boyfriend came in woith a couple of DVD's he had borrowed off a mate and Hot Fuzz was one of them. He seemed keen t watch it so I had to relent. This was so much better than Shaun Of The Dead. It was funny from the word go. Although the storyline is quite simple the screenplay and script are so well written that it makes the movie highly entertaining ...

Danny Butterman (Nick Frost): A simple local village policeman, who lives for cornettos and the pub. Is happy wih his life until he meets Angel and feels he is missing out.

...an interesting progression of how Hot Fuzz was born of Edgar Wrights childhood dream and the success of Shaun of the Dead. It is interesting to see how the cast of young police officers and older villagers interact with each other and how the in-jokes made it onto the big screen. * 22 deleted scenes - some of these are very funny and I'm guessing were cut out because of the already long final edit. Some were cut out for a reason though. Others ...

Review of Hot Fuzz (DVD)

...Thoughts and Conclusion== Hot Fuzz is one of those quirky films that sort of stay with you. I last watched the DVD a couple of weeks ago and am still sniggering about the shoot out in a supermarket! I have to say that I found the film hilarious in parts, sad in others and rather gruesome in some scenes. The plot is irreverent towards the Police Service and pokes fun at British society in a gentle, yet all too true fashion. All in all, a great British ...
...of The Dead”, try Hot Fuzz for more adventures with the Pegg/Frost duo. If you haven't seen either film, I would recommend them both. Hot Fuzz is a good movie, but not for those easily offended by bad language and bloody violence, even though it is portrayed in a humorous format. Thank you for reading. ©brittle1906 August 2009 N.B.

...that when the adverts for Hot Fuzz came on at the cinema that I'd want to see that as well. Pegg was once again teaming up with Edgar Wright, the other brain behind Shaun Of The Dead and Spaced to create another British comedy. The problem with the adverts was whether they were showing all the comedy from the movie, as is usually the case, but there was only one way to find out. Go and see it. Pegg takes the role of Sergeant Nicholas Angel, one ...
...worried before going to see Hot Fuzz that the funniest bits would be in the advert but was glad that this wasn't the case. The idea Pegg and Wright came up with was to try and make British Cops look cool, in much the same way Hollywood does with the Americans. In a round about way they did succeed and as a result created a film that had me laughing most of the way through it. Most of the comedy within the film has been done before, many times, but ...

This pair are like a modern day Laurel and Hardy in my own honest opinion. ***Synopsis*** Sergeant Nicholas Angel (Simon Pegg) is a tough policeman working in London. His results are so good that it is putting his colleagues to shame, so they conspire to get him sent away. His superior officers (Martin Freeman & Bill Nighy) arrange for him to be sent to ...

He goes for a quick drink in the local pub and swiftly apprehends a potential drunk driver and half of the pub's clientele for being underage drinkers. So it is clear that Sgt Angel is going to be super popular with the residents. The next morning he finds out that his drunk is Police Constable Danny Butterman (Nick Frost), and that ...

...I saw the trailers of Hot Fuzz with the same scene of Nicholas Angel jumping over fences then Danny just running straight through them I thought "OH GOD!". When only one trailer is shown with the same scene again and again you can presume that that scene is the only funny one in the entire film. But when I finally plucked up the courage to use an Amazon rental on the HD Version of the movie I was suprised. The movie keeps you in suspense, laughter ...

The Plot When Nicholas Angel becomes the best Police Officer in London his reputation sours and there is no point where he will allow other factors of his life into his work which results in him losing his house and girlfriend. However as his arrest record continues to increase he begins to make the rest of the Police Force (according to official guidelines it is called the service, thank you Nicholas) Police Service to look bad ...

...had heard mixed reports about Hot Fuzz and being a bit of a fan of Simon Pegg I was quite intrigued to see what it was like. I think I was expecting an out and out comedy, which it is not. However it is a very entertaining if totally daft film that is well worth watching - although perhaps only once! The main character is a police officer called Nicholas Angel (played by Pegg). At the beginning of the film he is working for the Met and it seems that ...

This has earned him a promotion but only in the quiet village of Sandford in Gloucestershire where no crimes ever seem to occur - or do they? Although reluctant to go, once he arrives in the village, Angel sets about his work with enthusiasm sweeping up underage drinkers and intoxicated drivers. This does not go down at all well with all the other laid back members of the constabulary ...

Now, if you have no idea who any of these guys are, I'd suggest you've either been living with your head in the sand or you have no idea who or what is funny in British comedy these days.
