  • Hot Fuzz! It's longer than Shaun of the Dead and also somehow denser! Took me extra days just to organize my thoughts on this insanely self-referential screenplay!

    Of course I'd mention that EGA The World's End is live now and then it would get age-gated after publishing. So it's private and I'm going to try to fix that and figure out what TH-cam doesn't like about robot heads exploding with blue goo and probably reupload it.

    What I love about Danny on the nth watch is that he might not be obsessed with action movies because he's an action movie nut, but because it's his only exposure to "actual" policing (especially with his dad having gone off the moral deep end). The moment Angel comes into his life, he immediately starts absorbing lessons from him on what policing really is.

    One of the Easter eggs that I find surprisingly overlooked in almost all reviews is the casting of Edward Woodward in Hot Fuzz. Woodward plays the CCTV NWA member but in so many ways Hot Fuzz is a homage to his 1973 film “The Wicker Man”. The wicker man is the story of a young police officer who is sent to a small Scottish island to solve mystery of a missing girl and uncovers that the locals are all involved in a Druidic cult.

      Edward Woodward's final line of dialogue in Hot Fuzz, 'Oh God, no', as he's trapped behind the seamine, is identical to his last words as he's ritually sacrificed in the finale of The Wicker Man.
      In the 1980s Woodward also won a Golden Globe for playing Robert McCall in the US TV series, The Equalizer.

    • @march5057

      You might already know this, so apologies if you do, but Edgar Wright actually directed the music video for a song called Blue Song by Mint Royale (starring Noel Fielding of all people) and the entire video plays out almost exactly like the opening scene of Baby Driver where Baby's waiting in the car. When Baby Driver was finally made, Wright had been sitting on the idea and writing it for about a decade, so when he was approached to do the music vid with a very tight turn around a few years earlier, the only thing he had to mind was that initial scene.

One of the tightest scripts I think I've ever seen put to film, SO many details from the minute to obvious-for-hilarity's-sake, the characters and how the actors brought them to life is legendary in my eyes. If we still lived in that live-TV era, this is one of the few movies I would plop down and watch if I came across it playing every single time.

    One of my all time favourite movies. I love the foreshadowing you pick up on rewatching it. It’s why Edgar Wright is my favourite director he’s so good at comedy/dark comedy
    My favourite thing about this film is that when I watched it for the very first time I thought the murders were just very gory and then with my second viewing I noticed that each of the victims were killed for the most ridiculous reasons and I think that’s the funniest part of the film. I really think when you really pay attention to it or any film directed by Edgar Wright such as Hot Fuzz make it and them even better than they already are. Also the “Fascist!”/“Hag” scene kills me 😂😂😂

    I actually live in a small village like this, and although it’s not ‘murder to preserve the village’ level, people do actually get pretty nasty about the upkeep of the village and get into a lot of social media arguments about things ‘ruining the community’. It’s why this film is so great at what it does- it’s just so incredibly on point about village life in the UK.

Angel is obvious, Danny and his father (the Buttermans) are firstly presented as lazy, Skinner is a murderer etc. If you go back and watch the movie with this in mind it add a little joke to every character introduction. Even the two Andys are called Wainwright and Cartwright - which are two different words for the same thing! So many layers.

When I first watched it, I honestly thought I wasn't going to like it much (I'd never seen SotD at that point and wasn't much interested in police shows/films - I initially only watched HF because the boy who plays "Aaron A. Aaronson" at the end was one of my best friends at the time the film was made/released), but it's been one of my consistently favourite films of the past 15 years. Everything about it is so well done and there isn't a single line wasted, no jokes last longer than they need to, it has serious moments that are allowed to be serious... It's just so damn good!

    Hot Fuzz is my favourite of the trilogy. Mostly for personal reasons though-- none of the good guys suffer an ill fate and it's lighthearted enough I can handle all the gore better. It's the one I could watch any time, all the time. Some more details:
    Danny gives Nicholas his notepad suspecting his dad's "club" might have been causing the murders all this time. He didn't want to believe it, but he clearly prepared for staging his death as soon as he saw Nicholas had been attacked. Think about it-- Danny was right out the door after the fight; he was probably sent there to discover him dead. (But seems like he didn't report back so they decided the innkeeper would find him.)
    Also, you notice how most of-- if not all in some subtle way-- the characters have surnames related to their roles?
    And extra fun fact: That wild west photo is of actual Nick Frost as a child.

    There really is a shortage of perfect movies in this world, but none of that is due to this one. Or Edgar in general. What he set out to do with this movie, he did perfectly. I kinda disagree about Danny being more than the movie pretends because, as you said, he's not a bad cop he's just had bad mentors before Nick. Granted, it doesn't spell that out, as such, but in the unfolding of the story it becomes pretty clear. But then maybe that's because I've seen this movie so many times that I'd picked upon pretty much every detail aside from the "2 Shooters 4 the price of 1" sign on the bar. Like, it's a subtle enough detail that not everyone WILL pick up on it on first viewing, but once you've seen it enough to be able to focus more fully on the background/unspoken details you can piece it together pretty well that he only SEEMS like a terrible cop because he's been influenced by terrible cops
