...than being separate. Overall, Hot Fuzz is one of the best comedies i have ever seen. It’s jokes are thick and fast for most of the movie and the timing of the actors is really well done. The acting is top notch with the main cast doing an excellent job and the chemistry between Pegg and Frost played out in a convincing manner. The action in it, especially the ending, is a rush and really entertaining and the soundtrack plays well in getting you ...

Review of Hot Fuzz (DVD)

...obvious references to other films, Hot Fuzz uses direct shots from films such as The Shining, Kill Bill and The Omen (amongst others) which add to the cultural richness of this film. When watching it, which you've got to do, look out for these! Or, if you think that's a little bit sad, you could just watch it. ****What other people think**** If you think I sound overly biased (due to my love of British film), it only takes the cracking £7.1 million ...

Review of Hot Fuzz (DVD)

Nicholas Angel is the best cop in London, but he's so efficient he makes everyone else look bad. So he's reassigned to the sleepy country town of Sandford. There's he's teamed with well-meaning action movie-obsessive Danny Butterman, the son of the local police chief. He's convinced Nicholas is a real-life action hero and is desperate to get involved in some gunfights and car chases. There's not much chance of that in a village where the most exciting ...
...a series of gruesome accidents soon change that. Why is the crime rate so low, yet the accident rate so high? Could there be something sinister at work? I loved "Shaun of the Dead", so I was really looking forward to the latest collaboration from director-writer Edgar Wright and writer-star Simon Pegg. But could it measure up to their first feature? Well, yes and no. The great thing about their debut was that it could work as a parody and an exemplar ...

...rental list on Lovefilm was Hot Fuzz. This was one of my husband's choices so I sat down not knowing what to expect at all. I thought by the name it was some American action film however I was surprised to find that it was in fact a British comedy. It is made by the same people who made "Shaun of the Dead" although I can't really compare the two as I haven't seen that film. The main character in the film is Simon Pegg who plays Nicholas Angel a successful ...

Angel immediately gets the villagers backs up by emptying the pub of all the underage drinkers (and so losing the pub owner a lot of custom) and then ends up arresting a fellow police officer for drunk driving! As Angel begins work in the village he discovers that there are quite a lot of mysterious goings on and a bit too many so called ...

Officer Angle (Simon Pegg) is removed from his police duties in London because he makes everybody else look bad with his fantastic arrest record. After being let go by the police ...

Hot Fuzz is an action/comedy and is the second film written and directed by Simon Pegg and Edgar Wright. It follows the highly successful ‘Shaun Of The Dead’ that also featured the two leading actors, Simon Pegg and Nick Frost. Their partnership and relationship with the usual cast used in the films was started by the Channel 4 show Spaced that was to some extent a success. This DVD was released on the 11th Of June 2007 after a highly successful ...

Review of Hot Fuzz (DVD)

...want to hear: murder. Hot Fuzz is the ultimate comedy buddy-cop film that clearly reflects the team behind Sean of the Dead's love of film. Hot Fuzz could be seen as an homage and a parody of some of the biggest (mainly American) action cop films of the last few decades. Those familiar with Sean of the Dead will remember a similar parallel in relation to zombie films. Hot Fuzz, seems to have more recognisable film references to the point where scenes ...
...in the world. Upon watching Hot Fuzz it is apparent that Pegg and Frost know each other. The chemistry between their characters is amazing. Despite being opposites they find likeable characteristics in each other. Simon Pegg's performance is greatly impressive. His character, Nicholas Angel, is not like the character we had previously seen in Shaun of the Dead. The seriousness of his character makes any viewer forget that they are watching Simon ...

The special effects are good although they are few and far between – a few gun fights and grizzly action shots and a little explosion of some ones house ;-). But its the type of film that does not require full on CGI effects. Is there a twist? Well yes and no, if you have not seen this film before you will ...

...I originally went to see Hot Fuzz at the cinema with The Boyfriend – purely because the ‘chick flick’ I had wanted to see was sold out and The Boyfriend was practically wetting himself with excitement at the thought of seeing this film so I gave in – and I loved it!

The Boyfriend and I were talking about it for hours in fact and we both eagerly awaited the release on DVD (which we finally bought yesterday after 2 hours and 3 different supermarket trips to find it!)

Review of Hot Fuzz (DVD)

Hot Fuzz is a brilliant mickey-take from the team that brought us Shaun of the Dead. It centres around a much decorated, very dedicated London cop called Sergeant Angel, who is politely removed from his job in the city and shipped out to a sleepy Gloucester village called Sandford. This, on the face of it, doesn't seem like the most inspiring plot-line, but the villagers prove to be an interesting lot and it doesn't take long for Sergeant Angel to ...
...police squad. Hot Fuzz has three main aspects to it which are blended together to make a quite brilliant film. There is the comedy element, ludicrous situations and laugh-out-loud one liners. Then you have the complicated sub-plot of the real goings on in Sandford, complimented by the action scenes and special effects that are peppered throughout the film. This first time we watched this film in the cinema we laughed 'til we cried, (along with eveyone ...

Hot Fuzz is a brilliantly funny British Film. My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed this film at the cinema when it was first released and were delighted to find that our daughter has purchased the DVD. The film, to me, brought back memories of “The Full Monty” in that it is a hilarious British Comedy with many recognised and excellent actors, like Edward Woodward, Timothy Dalton, Bill Nighy, and Anne Reid. The film stars Simon Pegg and Nick Frost ...
...convinced that I would enjoy Hot Fuzz but was pleased to be proved wrong!! Hot Fuzz is a crime busting parody on many action movies which actually works. It centres around the main character Nicholas Angel (Pegg) who is a policeman with the metropolitan force in London. He is the best policeman they have ever had who does everything by the book (ie you do not call it the Police Force but Police Service as Force is suggestive of being powerful and ...

Nicholas Angel (Simon Pegg) has a deep passion working for the Metropolitan Police in London. He eat, drinks and sleeps work. His skills in his job are constantly on-going. He has the highest arrest record in the force; he is the best at what he does. His only problem is that he doesn't know how to switch off from work. When his bosses decide to transfer him to Sandford, the country-side, life in the force changes for Nicholas completely. Nicholas ...

They are friendly and very welcoming, but absolutely determined to keep the peace on-going. Meanwhile, Sandford's police force, including Danny Butterman (Nick Frost) (Ed in Shaun of The Dead), are not as 'on the ball' as they could be. They consistently 'mock' Nicholas, which makes him feel ...

Hot Fuzz is the huge British hit from the same guys who brought us "Shaun of the Dead", Edgar Wright, Simon Pegg, and Nick Frost. It's about Nicholas Angel (Simon Pegg) a police officer so good he makes everyone else look bad in comparison. So he's transferred to the sleepy town of Sandford and ends up teaming with not so good police officer Danny Butterman (Nick Frost). Soon they start investigating a series of brutal murders, which, for some reason, ...
...a secret that could blow the whole village to smithereens! If "Shaun of the Dead" was a parody of all things zombie, then "Hot Fuzz" is a spoof of the high octane action movies people like to see. The fact that it's in a sleepy English village is, frankly, genius. Every cliche is here, explosive gun fights, exciting car chases, corny one-liners and 80's style detectives with those big sunglasses. The references are numerous, and you may need a ...
