In Shaun of the Dead, it was the zombie movie and the anomie of modern life. In Hot Fuzz, Edgar Wright and Simon Pegg set their sights on the buddy cop blockbuster and the eccentric English village. The two worlds collide when overachieving London officer Nicholas Angel (Pegg) is promoted to sergeant. The catch is that he's being transferred to Agatha Christie country. His superiors (the comic trifecta of Martin Campbell, Steve Coogan, and Bill Nighy) explain that he's making the rest of the force look bad. On the surface, Sandford is a sleepy little burg where the most egregious crimes, like loitering, are committed by hoody-sporting schoolboys. In truth, it's a hotbed of Willow Man-style evil. Upon his arrival, Chief Butterman (Jim Broadbent) partners Angel with his daft son, Danny (Nick Frost, Pegg's Shaun co-star), who aspires to kick criminal 'arse' like the slick duo in Bad Boys II. When random citizens start turning up dead, he gets his chance. With the worshipful Danny at his side, Angel shows his cake-eating colleagues how things are done in the big city. As in Shaun, their previous picture, Wright and Pegg hit their targets more often than not. With the success of that debut comes a bigger budget for car chases, shoot-outs, and fiery explosions. Though Hot Fuzz earns its R-rating with salty language and grisly deaths, the tone is more good-natured than mean-spirited. A wall-to-wall soundtrack of boisterous British favorites, like the Kinks, T-Rex, and Sweet, contributes to the fast-paced fun. --Kathleen C. Fennessy

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Rural Weapon
Like a little Hot Fuzz with your extras? This edition is loaded with them. So much Pegg, Frost and Wright that you may overdose and be sent to comedy rehab where they won't let you flush cake or shop at Sheppler's. My favorite gem in this lot is Edgar Wright's first cop film, Dead Right. Made in 1993 on VHS, its Dirty Harry meets Lethal Weapon meets Rushmore which all builds to a fantastic climax of box monsters and a misunderstood cereal killer (yes, cereal killer). I'm so glad I pried open ... Read More
Rating: - Hot Fuzz is HOT!
I saw the trailers and thought that this would be a fun movie to see in the theater. What I was when we got there was way beyond my expectations.
I hadn't seen Shawn of the Dead (although I had heard of it) nor do I recall seeing any Simon Pegg movie before. What I came away with was a new favorite set of actors and film makers. These guys were just laugh-out-loud funny. Simon Pegg and his ultra serious, extremely dedicated character made me want to see much, much more of his work. Edgar ... Read More
Rating: - SHAUN OF THE DEAD
The film is littered with in jokes and cultural references. There are also a number of references to SHAUN OF THE DEAD, but it isn't important to get any of these to enjoy the movie.
Rating:  - Over hyped
With all the hype for this movie I was expecting more. Half the time I could not understand the British accents, and the movie itself was just OK.
Rating: - A movie that will be loved by action seekers for years
This movie is packed with action. It is super funny and just an all around great movie. It looked the best on HD-DVD. Let me say that I am into technology, when I stepped into a movie theater and saw the 1st HD-DVD commercial I ever saw, I was immediatly drawn to the format. I know it sounds weird and its hard to explain but I was drawn to HD-DVD, I was devestated when toshiba discontinued HD-DVD in febuary of 2008. But being as into technology as I am a continue to follow the latest trand which as unfortunate ... Read More
