CLIP DESCRIPTION:
Angel (Simon Pegg) is promoted to Sergeant by the Chief Inspector (Bill Nighy) but he is unhappy about his transfer out of London and into the small town of Sandford, Gloucestershire.
FILM DESCRIPTION:
A top London cop who is so good at his job that he makes his fellow officers look like slackers by comparison is "promoted" to serve in the sleepy village of Sandford in this contemporary action comedy from the creators of Shaun of the Dead. Police constable Nicholas Angel (Simon Pegg) always gets his man, but these days his impeccable record seems to be more indicative of his fellow officers' shortcomings than his own formidable skills as a keeper of the peace. Loathe to stand idly by as their once respectable track record is steadily soiled by the hyper-competent actions of one lone overachiever, Sergeant Angel's superiors at the Met soon determine to remedy their problem by relocating the decorated constable to the West Country village of Sanford -- where tranquil garden parties and neighborhood watch meetings stand in stark contrast to the violent crime and heated gunplay of the city. As Sergeant Angel does his best to adjust to the relative calm of his new environment, his oafish new partner Danny Butterman (Nick Frost) strives to gain the respect of his fellow constables while sustaining himself on fantasies of his favorite action films and police shows. Later, just as it begins to appear as if Sergeant Angel has been relegated to an uneventful existence in the relative calm of the countryside, a series of horrific "accidents" lead him to suspect that the tranquil hamlet of Sanford has fallen prey to a sinister plot which reeks of foul play. Jim Broadbent, Timothy Dalton, Steve Coogan, and Martin Freeman co-star in the Edgar Wright film.

The "mmm Yes I can, I'm the Chief Inspector" followed by the insanely god snarl of that upper lip by Bill Nighy is the one of the most hilarious and legendary small details in a performance I've seen.
Also reminds me of his absolutely smashing performance as Davy Jones in POTC.
'Uhhhh Price?'
I’ve seen Edgar Wrights films countless times but this is first time I’ve ever noticed that little detail I was just about to comment it myself and saw your comment! Every time you find something new with Edgar’s films it’s mad🤣
He does the same snarls in otherworld. It's his trademark
that snarl look like a micro-expression of anger, so you see him being calm but that micro expression tell he is not happy with talking to him or he doesn't like him... which match with why everyone else trying to get him out.... that's is an insane level of acting since we usually don't control those micro-expression
I need 2 pple to down vote so we get "666".
"Hello Nicolas, how is the hand?"
"Still a bit stiff"
I liked that running gag so badly.
"you've got red on you"
It’s also a classic routine to start with a simple question and make it seem like a normal conversation before letting them down gently. The funny part is they all go about it the same way
"Comedy comes in three's"
RJ TP shut up mort*BEELLLLCHHHHH*yyyyyy
@@eduardomorales1507 Nice, I'm glad someone got it 😂👌🏼
I love how Nick is ousted for essentially being too perfect, "you can't just make people disappear", and is then placed in a town where people, if they are not perfect, "disappear" by their officials. Such brilliant mirroring.
The amount of recurring callbacks in this film goes beyond merely being hilarious to becoming straight up art.
That’d every Edgar Wright movie for ya
@@maxrodriguez6797 This one especially.
@@loki3523 Shaun of the Dead does a really good job at it too, although I must admit the amount of mirrors/presumptions/predictions were a lot easier to identify than they were in Hot Fuzz for me. I especially like the irony of the Japanese Peace Lily being smashed against Lurch's head towards the final act of the film
Oh my god I just realize that!!
"You can't just make people disappear."
"Yes, I can; I'm the Chief Inspector."
Nice foreshadowing.
foreshadowing for what
for what Chief Inspector Butterman does in Sanford
Yes. This movie gets better everytime you watch it.
Watched this film like 20 times and never noticed that before
There's also the "You've been make us all look bad"
"but he'll say the exact same thing I said"
"hello Nicholas, how's the hand?"
Damnit lol. I didnt catch that.
still a bit stiff
"He's living out of cardboard boxes"
"Well, then, he's packed already!"
Is that what Americans call a microaggression lol
I can taste the sarcasm..
I think of this scene on the regular LMFAO
😄
SNAKE!!!
2:07 - Any more acting talent in that poor room and a black hole will spontaneously generate on the phone.
G96Saber Hot Fuzz is full of brilliant actors.
Put Stephen Fry in there and you'll have a super black hole lol
Why do you think they put Jim Broadbent in another part of the movie and not here?
*Sir Ian McKellen falls out the closet and Sir Patrick Stewart wheels in the tea trolley*
Michael Caine came down as minister of defence
I love the build up to the whole 'bothering he chief inspector'. Its hyped up as a HUGE disruption to this important person and then he's just like "Kenneth" and calls for him just outside the door!! Leaves me in hysterics.
Also the hand movements that suggest that he's about to call him on the phone - along with the fact that he has been called in with the phone before - but nope, just the door.
This is truly brilliant.
That's when I knew this film would be as good, if not better, than Shaun of The Dead.
Very good, that's the joke
@Greg Elchert he was
@Greg Elchert He totally know that.
2:43 - I love the little twitch in the chief inspector's face. It just adds to threatening words.
yeah thats what always stood out for me in this scene
YES. Top stuff from Nighy ^_^
An actor so in character he's chock full of micro-expressions.
MrYaniv99 and there’s a little beeping noise to go along with it
it reminds me a lot of the little twitches he did as Davy Jones in Pirates of the Caribbean.
Love how Martin Freeman roles in the Trilogy gets bigger as his celebrity status gets bigger first basically an extra second cameo third main character
wait where is he in the first one?
When the lead characters meet Shaun's female friend during their attempt to get inside the bar, Freeman was the one behind her, along with three other extras. He didn't even have any dialogues if I remember correctly.
That was after the Office though so he was already pretty famous before Shaun of the Dead.
It might even be that they could only afford to get him for a cameo in Shaun of the Dead, and could afford more later once the films were successful.
@@kv7880 correcto
To American audiences he was an unknown when he was in Shaun of the Dead.
"Well then you're packed already". -- Uber Sarcasm
D DIESEL lol that was an awesome remark
I might regret asking, but isn't Uber German?
a pun.
That isn’t sarcasm
Lightman 2120 English is a Germanic language so it’s most likely from German
That little evil twitch in his facial expression at 2:42 when he says he is the Chief Inspector is priceless. 👌
It's brilliant! 😅
😅
I was hoping I wasnt the only one that noticed
"We're making you sergeant,"
"I see,"
"In seveglsdts..."
In Sandford, Gloucestershire.
Stephen Schaefer That's.. in the country.
Stephen Schaefer I've been to the place that It filmed
Dean McCoppin Yes! Lovely!
Star Lord Isn't there a sergeant's position here in London?
That moment, when Bilbo Baggins, Alan Partridge, Davy Jones and Scotty are all in the same room. XD
The moment where Martin Freeman says "neuuuuuuu" & his expression looking at Simon Pegg is priceless.... I laugh out loud every time 😍😍😍😍
Nothing actors like more than being constantly referred to as a single character they've played...
Good thing the actors aren't here to get upset now GrifGraf
frydsaman but can you absolutely, without having room for error, without hazarding a guess, without possibility of being wrong, make that claim for certain?
If you can do that, I'll apologise.
“The fact is, You’ve been making us all LOOK bad!”
The way he says it gets me every time 🤣😂😂😂
Bill Nighy was perfect for this scene. It crraacked me up how he just ROASTED Simon Pegg's character.
True that I love the way he says it too every character Bill plays he always nails it both serious and comedy even if it's just for a few seconds
"You making us look bad."
Best counter-argument ever.
"You can't just make people disappear"
"Yes I can, I'm the Chief Inspector"
Edgar Wright loves foreshadowing.
Also irony, the top dog is basically admitting he can abuse his power how he likes
I love how the acting heavyweights keep getting heavier and heavier with every rank. XD
lol! I never noticed that. good observation.
@@sneed7123 thank you
Theres a hierarchy XD
Lol it would be hilarious af if it’s Bill Nighy first then Martin Freeman last to coming in
Imagine if Angel wanted to keep going and we got Patrick Stewart as the Commissioner
"I'd love to settle down in the country sometime, Jeanine" Haha
I never caught that they were spying on him
@@CAPDude44 I never caught before lmao
Mate of mine took that as possible evidence Jeanine was having it off with the Skipper behind Nick's back
Never noticed the little sneer Bill Nighy gives at the end. Priceless.
I love Bill Nighy. He’s the most versatile actor. He was perfect as the aging rock star in Love Actually. Sooo funny!
I love him best as Davy Jones. He was an utter new being in those films
He is my favorite... especially for the character Viktor in Underworld franchise.... besides Davy Jones in POTC....
The wildest thing about the first Underworld was wanting to go see a cheesy movie where broody vampires fight each other in rubber suits and unexpectedly getting good actors dumped on you.
He was also the dad in About Time (2013).
Not to mention General Olbricht in Valkyrie (2008).
Viktor from Underworld!
"You want me to bother the chief inspector with this?"
"Yes"
"You want me to get the chief inspector to come all the way down here?"
"Yes i do"
"Ok.....Kenneth"
Max ANDREWS It's still a bit stiff
Oi! Mr Prime Minister! ANDY!
They knew he was going to call him down lol
Hello Nicholas how's the hand?
Still a bit stiff
"Do i have any choice in this"
"Neeewwww"
Edit: Did not expect this many likes, i am ever so greatful. Thanks.
“Sergeant, I kinda like it here !”
Daniel Bautista I think with the sargent saying "Yes you did you said *I'd love to settle down in the country some time Janine* " is them tapping his phone calls, that's how they know.
Rufus Greenleaf Or they overheard it because Janine is also a police officer.
uyy7uhy Well yea, forensics. I suppose then yea.
Rufus Greenleaf funniest movie of all time
The fact they got Martin, Steve and Bill to do this makes this scene all the more brilliant. 🙌
Literally a step up in Star power for each one😂
They also got Cate Freaking Blanchett. Guess where, guess where!
@@the_marjorie In a PPE suit.
@@aaronleverton4221 !!! (She has beautiful eyes)
I bet these wankers all did their roles for free just to have some fun. 😁
This is how I see Angel's superiors: Bilbo Baggins, Tiny Roman Soldier from Night at the Museum, and Davy Jones. XD
Sorry man, I didn't know any other movies he was in aside from Night at the Museum.
Deimos
David Urshon might've worked...or Hades ;)
Hades where?
^Lol, Percy Jackson
Yes, the director from 'Tropic Thunder'! That's the one. Seriously Deimos, see 'Tropic Thunder.'
"Nnnnnnnnneuuuuuuuuuuuuuu . . ."
+Catzilla I wanted to see more of Martin Freeman in this movie. He deserved more than two scenes.
Catzilla no it's newwwwwwww!
Rimmer would be proud
Iiiiiyyyyyeeeeeeesssss.

"Yes?"
"Yes, thank you?!"

"How's the hand?" "Still a bit stiff." XD
+SJMJ91 didnt get that part
He was stabbed in the hand you would know if you watched the start of the film
Yes, I know. I've seen it. You clearly don't understand the joke.
No I get the joke i was just telling someone what happened to him
I just love the smile Martin Freeman and Steve Coogan do together it's just spot on comedy
The fact there are so many comments, each highlighting their own respective favorite part of a 3min clip, demonstrates how excellent this movie is on the whole. There are so many details to enjoy packed into each and every scene.
The Sergeant and Inspector smiling at 1:48 really cracks me up for some reason
It proves to the audience that the WHOLE bloody office is conspiring to get Angel booted from the department. LOL.
Martin Freeman's "Nooo!" at 0:46 cracks me tf up XD
That slight sneer Bill Nighy gives after saying "I'm Chief Inspector" is brilliant.
Devotion inspires bravery
1:49 that troll smiles...
The amazing dialogue and acting aside, it blows my mind to how perfect this movie is. The camera angles and sound design, the transitions. Simply 10 out of 10
It has to be perfect otherwise it gets killed.....for the greater good 😂
"I don't really know what to say?"
"Yes." "Yes, thank you." (Big smiles) 😆
Haven't even seen this movie in its entirety, but the part where Martin Freeman's character says "NIIUUU" is legitimately something I quote often.
It's definitely worth watching the whole movie. It's honestly 1 of the best movies ever made
I say this word every day.
I broke down laughing the first time I saw this movie and Martin Freeman was just rubbing the word "no" in his face as hard as he could!
"You've been making us look bad" 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Wow it’s shocking that they’re just firing him because their jealous
@@atas2561 This happens in real life. Just happened to me, recently. Be aware while you're in the workforce and take note of the people who have that hungry look in their eye. Just a bit of advice.
@@matthewmosier8439 Oh damn :|
@@matthewmosier8439 I'm sure you're old job and bosses would be begging for you to come back when they realize they made a terrible mistake. By letting you go and the company wouldn't survive without you.
@@atas2561More than 3 years on and it worked out for me, by the way. God blessed me with a job that's more stable and where I can earn around twice as much. The lessons I learned from the bad experience will serve me the rest of my life, so I wouldn't change what happened.
"there's one thing you've not taken into account, and that's what the team is gonna make of thi..."
Well he's making them all look bad.
They would want him gone the most.
Who do you think started all this with complaints to the Sergeant?
Well done for quoting a clip we all just watched
Good luck Nicholas
Never a bigger "bye Felicia" in the movies than this one!
You know for years I thought it was ridiculous that the police one oust one of their own for making them look bad by being too good at his own job, but seeing cop behavior over the past few years has made me realize that this is probably the most realistic thing about this movie
Yeah imagine a cop following the rules precisely and holding the rest of his officers up to the correct standards, they'd be deeply unpopular with their corrupt colleagues.
Does Bureaucratic organisations having corruption really surprises you?
And then the inevitable outcome of such a bad decision, where things get so bad they basically beg them to come back cuz they’re incompetent.
@@matthewriley7826 they're in a no win situation since if he stays, he shows their incompetence and if he leaves, they show their incompetence.
Basically if you find yourselves with one excelling where you don't, well there's only one real choice solution - get good, or get gone.
not the paperwork?
The quick little smirk/snarl right after "Yyyyyes I can, I'm the chief inspector." was brilliant. It was subtly menacing as hell.
My favourite joke in this movie is Martin Freeman’s character saying “he’ll say the exactly same thing I am” and the only thing that was exactly repeated was “Hello Nicholas, How’s the hand”
Their dumb-looking smiling faces at 1:48 are simply priceless 😭😭😭
Nicholas Angel, a capable, accomplished police officer living out of cardboard boxes.
Ocelot: He's pretty good.
Boss: Agreed.
Take care of your box, and it'll take care of you.
@@ahmedamine24 and it will give you a roof
Probably the best British comedy ever Superb cast great script and in this scene tremendous foreshadowing
Even the part when he says in Sanford Gloucestershire, he doesn’t hear him so he says it loud and clearly with a bit of aggression is just comic gold!
I can't believe my luck to see all these men in the same scene! Priceless!!
0:03 my friends asking me how quarantine was
haha, nice one
Interesting how this scene foreshadows the eventual truth behind Sandford. The cosy, 'moral' establishment make Nicholas 'disappear' from their organisation for the greater good of their careers and reputations, much like the NWA get rid of anyone who threatens to damage the reputation of the village.
That staring and smiling @1:48 cracked me up lmao
Fun fact: Janine = Cate Blanchett
Stabbing Santa: Peter Jackson.
Police sergeant : Martin Freeman
familiar?
teomin Shit, it all makes sense....
Male 'Village of the Year' adjudicator= Edgar Wright's (director) drama teacher
Beat that!
+teomin He's in all three films - Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz and The World's End
Simon is such a great actor. I love how he just becomes the character... when watching this movie, it's hard to believe he played an average joe working in retail named Shaun.
The shot when it cuts quickly back to Martin and Steve grinning is brilliant!
Dat intro is so supah good, like ecxellent example of establishing character through action and reaction.
Just from the absolute, self-righteous, wrathful yet firmly controlled confidence Angel tells the freaking Chief Inspector of the Met what he can and can't do, you know for certain this man would *never* climb up the ladder. If you put him as a Minister, he'd get the government sacked within *hours,* destroy his party, and maybe his life, and he'd be damn proud of himself too.
What's so dope about this film is that there are no wasted, or filler lines. Everything that's said by the every character is going to somehow appear or be resolved somewhere in the film, which just makes the whole experience so brilliantly satisfying.
I believe it has been called The Perfect Film by some because of everything tying together so neatly. And the incredible camera work and top shelf acting, as well.
That'sssss in the country!
Yes lovelyyyy!
Isn't there a sergeant place here in London?
No!
Can I remain here as a PC?
No!
Do I have any choice in this?
Neoooooo....
laughed my arse off!!!!
Bill does a little evil face at 2:43 after he says that he is the chief inspector. It's brilliant 👏🏻😅
2:05 the inspector saying "Kenneth" has the same vibe of "dude he's still resisting you need to put the final nail in his coffin by telling him the truth"
As if they knew already that Nicholas was going to refuse.
This is one my favorite scenes in the entire film because the 'wah-hey' surprise of who each ranking officer is, is only surpassed by how hilariously GOOD they are are being smooth shits, topped by that ferocious little twitch between Bill Nighy's eyebrows when he says 'because I'm Chief inspector'
Part of the ship, part of the team!
Yyyyes I can I'm the Chief Inspector
***** Yeah, that Chief Inspector was sort of a prick...
STONECOLD1988 he's chief vampire Viktor.
I love the arrogant snarl he has on his face when he says that.
Lmfao
*twitch*
Anyone notice the perfectly timed sound effect when the chief inspector twitches/smirks at 2:42
probably my favourite bill nighy moment :D
it happens at 1:31 also.
Happens also with Timothy Dalton's character in the pub. He looks at the camera for a millisecond and cash register dings just at that moment.
That GOOD LUCK NICHOLAS bit is priceless.
One of if not the best Edgar Wright film and one of my favourites of all time. Fantastic story, directing and acting.
the editing is also top notch
Steve Coogan's body language at 1:16 kills me
This movie is utter perfection and can bear many repeat viewings.
While the whole movie is brilliant, this particular scene is just genius incarnate. The foreshadowing, the gag'esque repetitiveness, the wordplay, the-everything!
I just can’t stop laughing whenever he said Sanford Gloucestershire so softly 😂😂
Its so heartwarming to see people have so many different favourite parts of this scene. For its that "KenneTH" as KenneTH comes right around the corner. That name has something about it.
I love that little twitch that Bill does when he says "I'm the Chief Inspector!" There's more evil in that than the whole of Sandford
"In 20 years or so, YES!"
"Well done you!"
I thought it was “Then anew”
1:09 wow that was really smooth, really adds to the whole scene imo
"Nnnneeuu." Love Martin Freeman! XD
One things people mention enough is the hilarious use of sound effects in this film. The telephone ring at 0:33 is just perfection
And the ding whenever they get the next highest person
Everything about this movie was perfect. How everything is called back to a previous scene
"You've been making us all look bad." LOL!
Nighy's little nose twitch is the scariest thing I've ever seen. Fucking brilliant.
Always loved how silly the movie is yet still somehow grounded, the man has a 400% higher arrest rate then anyone else yet the next scene when he gets dumped we all feel like that could be us. Edgar hasn't made a movie this good since
Martin Freeman, Steve Coogan, AND Bill Nighy just for this bit? Edgar Wright is a genius.
"Well, yes I can: I'm the Chief Inspector" followed by a micro expression of being aggressive. Such a wonderful, yet blink-and-you-miss, moment
The funniest thing about this is that probably after he left the Chief Inspector got fired because crime was raised up to 400%
Actually what was said is that he was 400% of any other officer effectively meaning he arrested as much as 4 other officers. Although he did say any other officer which means that that figure is compared against 4 of the second best cop they have so it's probably more like 6 of the average officers arrest quota. I counted 36 officers in the shot of the "Team" which means Nicholas is actually responsible for roughly 15-20% of their arrests which is still significant and would lead to a large rise in crime but it's not as dire as a 400% increase.
Wea111
Math...
@@wea1117 Actually, I think the reason Why, is because Officer Nicolas was managing to track down the _Sources_ and was leaving them Spooked, forcing the Criminals to lower their profiles to prevent Nicolas 'Super Cop' to get a bead on Them.
Once he was confirmed Gone, they no longer needed to stay Low, and Rose up, driving up the crime rate.
After all, Criminals are not completely stupid. If they are organized or working together, they will keep track. And if a Cop is capable of catching 4-5 Criminals a _day,_ which most cops rarely have to do on a daily basis, the Organized Criminals would keep a look out for him/her... And the moment they are Gone, Well, time to go to Work.
@@wea1117 - It wouldn't "lead to a large rise in crime" unless the entire population consisted of criminals, that was the _only_ police station in London, and none of the _other_ officers increased their number of arrests. There are in fact over 30 thousand Met officers, so overall it would have no noticeable effect.
@@RFC-3514 That's a good point. I didn't think of that. I got too caught up in the maths. Well it'd have a very large impact on that team's metrics :D
1:48 the cut to martin freeman and steve coogan grinning is so hilarious. perfect comedic editing
"yes i can, I'm the Chief Inspector" is seriously one of the best memes ever
"You want to take this higher?"
"yes I do"
"Y-You want me to bother mother with this?"
"Yes!"
"You want me to get mother to come... a-all the way down here?"
"Yes I do."
"... Ok... MOM!"
Sergeant: “ Hello Nicholas, How’s the hand?”
Inspector: “Hello Nicholas, How’s the Hand?”
Chief Inspector: “Hello Nicholas, Hows your hand?”
"Still a bit stiff"

“Well then you’re packed already” 😂
I love I learn something new each time I see the movie!
Behind Nick, you can see everyone in the office start walking towards the area Nick will walk into. Only one person seems to walk to the left.
2:31 One silhouette even seems to tell another "it's time" or something
Watched this movie numerous times but i only recently noticed that theres a slight uplifting tune at 0:27 when nicholas is going to be promoted but then parodically switched back to audible office noises when sgt announces it was going to be in the country 😂
I’ve watched this movie maybe a dozen times. I love everything about it.
Also, Martin freeman is memorable in every role, even this small one.
Being the sidekick in Ali G, being Dr Watson in Sherlock, to Bilbo Baggins!
My head cannon has Hot Fuzz as my first movie followed by Shaun of the Dead. Chief Inspector gave off chilling “Pre-Infected” vibe with that eye twitch.
I've been in the room when a high ranking officer stated that the team leader was leading the team so efficiently that all the other teams leaders looked stupid...and therefore the good team leader was going to be taken away from his team and made the superior's assistant....(implicitly where he could be shoved in a corner and restricted from showing up all the other mediocrities)...
Unfortunately the good team leader knew the nationwide head of the organisation and that never happened.
The high ranking officer got a severe bollocking, a note on his file (again) and the other team leaders a written warning to get their arses into gear....
That sounds like a dream come true. Usually High Achievers are knocked around until they quit out of frustration :-(
Martin Freeman’s delivery of “……in Sandford Gloucestershire”.
Perfect. Hysterical.
What if this was an ingenious plot by the police to investigate a town where people keep disappearing by sending there best officer.
Best part of this movie, as far as I'm concerned.
And "Yes I can. I'm the Chief Inspector" tops it all. Only Nighy can pull it off like that. sly knowing smirk.
All Masonic conspiracy of course. 🤣
"He's living out of cardboard boxes" "Well, your packed already"
"He's living out of cardboard boxes."
"Then you're packed already."
Love that subtle dig. 🤣
When that quick offhand "... village of the year ... " comment actually becomes the entire plot of the film.
😆😆
2:40 that little facial expression from bill is gold
I always loved Bill's little facial twitch at 2:42. So weaselly yet posh af
