Product Description:
Get ready for a gut-busting outrageous comedy from the guys that created Shaun of the Dead. Nicholas Angel (Simon Pegg) is a big-city cop who can't be stopped - but he's making everyone else on the force look bad. When he is reassigned to a small quiet town he struggles with this new seemingly idyllic world and his bumbling partner (Nick Frost). But their dull existence is interrupted by several grisly and suspicious accidents and the crime-fighting duo turn up the heat and hand out high-octane car-chasing gun-fighting big-city justice in this hilarious hit critics are calling 'Outrageous! Uproariously Funny!' (Thelma Adams US Weekly).System Requirements:Running Time: 121 Mins.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: COMEDY Rating: R UPC: 025193327420 Manufacturer No: 62033274

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

Rating:  - Weird, but enjoyable
Simon Pegg oozes hilarity. He is a natural comedian, and he doesn't even need to try. I've always found that British comedies are much funnier and wittier than American ones. I think it has something to do with their overly dry humour and their love for the F-bomb. It just sounds better coming from a Brit.
Anywho, Hot Fuzz starts off somewhat normal but then halfway through the film, it gets a tad weird. What you think the plot is about is not what it really is, and it just comes at ... Read More
Rating:  - Hot Fuzz is a hot mess!
I saw the previews for this movie and actually laughed my you know what off. I expected it to be a funny action movie like National Security or The Rush Hour series. But I was way off. It starts off good with Nick Angel (Simon Pegg) being super cop. But then the murder mysteries make the movie seem longer than it should be and the gun fight made the movie seem longer also. I don't want to give away what happens after the gunfight but let's just say it seemed ... Read More
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 my wallet ... 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 Wright ... 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.
