The spoof team behind Shaun of the Dead are at again, this time with a creative take on crime and buddy cop films. The humor is witty and often subtle enough to work, but the film also surprisingly works as a whodunit thriller in its own right. Not as fresh as Shaun, but still very entertaining and fun. |

An excellent andgreat surprise action/black humor comedy movie. follows two police officers attempting to solve a series of mysterious deaths in a small village.
Over a hundred action films were used as inspiration for developing the script, which Wright and Pegg worked on together. Filming took place over eleven weeks in early 2006, and featured an extensive cast along with various uncredited cameos. Visual effects were developed by ten artists to expand on or add explosive, gore, and gunfire scenes.

"Hot Fuzz" by Yojimbo |
|
Nicholas Angel is such a good cop, he's shipped off to the most law-abiding village in the country to stop him showing up the rest of the force. This brilliant pastiche of the Hollywood action movie is brought to you by the same team as Shaun Of The Dead, and has the same mix of silly one-liners, slapstick and spoofery. Transferring all of the familiar action cliches and plot devices to rural England was a masterstroke, and Pegg's obvious love of cult film and TV offers up a wealth of targets for homages, from Bad Boys II to The Stepford Wives to The Wicker Man. In many ways, Simon Pegg is the Quentin Tarantino of British film comedy; there are so many throwaway gags that it'll take multiple viewings to spot them all and I'm sure that the majority of the film references will be lost on a ... |

Hot Fuzz review |
|
A dedicated cop named Nicholas Angel (Simon Pegg) has been transferred to another location because his qualifications are making his colleagues look silly. Danny Butterman (Nick Frost) is partnered with Nicolas, an undisciplined cop and a film buff. The Inspector tours Angel and informs him that there has been no crime in Sanford for 20 years, which in effect, always wins the award for “Village of the Year.” Angel however suspects murder in three consecutive deaths. One of the best lines on the film – Nicholas Angel – “I may not be a religious man Reverend, but I know right and I know wrong and I have the good grace to know which is which. “ Danny Butterman – “You can turn off that big melon of yours with action movies.”
The soundtrack used on the flick was suitable and cinema... |

A must-have movie. I'm not obsessed with cop films at all but I enjoyed this spoof nonetheless. I did catch a few film references here and there but not as much as I did in "Shaun of the Dead." It's as funny as their preceeding zombie flick but maybe a bit more ambitious. After an hour and fifteen minutes, it started delving into the mystery genre, which I thoroughly enjoyed. It's as if they've turned a bunch of really bad films into a great film by means of spicing them up with a plethora of daring originality. I love how they introduce jokes that most will perceive as a one-time thing, but as it turns out, they come back later on with more powerful punches. I wish Simon Pegg would create more astute spoofs like "Hot Fuzz" and "Shaun of the Dead." How about spoofing spy films next time? ... |
