When they were casting the roles, they got to Skinner's character. They described who they wanted, and basically joked Timothy Dalton would be perfect, but that would never happen. Then someone said " Why don't we just ask him.??" To everyone's surprise and delight he loved the script and said yes
Fun fact. All the swans in England are technically owned by the reigning British Monarch (currently King Charles III, but it was Queen Elizabeth II at the time this movie was released). That's why even the villains wouldn't risk killing one by driving into it. They may have been horribly petty murderers but they were still loyal subjects of Her Majesty the Queen. ;)
This is the ultimate "watch it twice" movie. I swear, EVERY. SINGLE. LINE. sets up a future joke or plot point. Watch it back knowing the ending; you notice a new detail every time.
Even the "you can't make people disappear" ... "yes I can, I'm the Chief Constable" is foreshadowing (and reality in Britain, except it happens in plain sight with people "disappearing" in prison for bogus charges).
"My, my, here come the Fuzz." Fun Fact: When in costume, Nick Frost and Simon Pegg often were assumed to be police officers. Many strangers asked them for directions, and instead of telling the truth they went along with it. Cameos Cameos Fact: Nicholas' ex-girlfriend Jeanine at the crime scene is Cate Blanchett. The Santa that stabs Nicholas is Peter Jackson. P. I. Staker is Stephen Merchant, best known in America as the voice of Wheatley in Portal 2 (2011). The judges for the Best Kept Village competition near the end of the film are played by Peter Wild and the mothers of Edgar Wright and Simon Pegg. Actor's Actor Fact: The filming of Angel and Skinner's first meeting at the supermarket was filmed over the course of two days. The conversation was filmed entirely from Timothy Dalton's perspective first. The next day, early in the morning, they were to film the conversation with Angel's perspective and close-ups. Dalton, much to the surprise of the crew, showed up early the next morning, and even though he wasn't going to be on camera for that particular portion of the filming, he sat off-camera in Skinner's chair and played the role so that Simon Pegg would be able to have him to work with while filming his part as Angel. Pegg stated it really showed Dalton's professionalism.
Dalton is a real one. Every movie he's in he's incredible. He was in 'Lion in Winter' opposite peter o toole and it was just an amazing performance. Also liked him in Rocketeer
Agreed. Only he and (later) Daniel Craig played Bond AS WRITTEN. Bond is not a likeable guy, he can be brutal and rough around the edges, he's not always "shaken, not stirred". Alas, the SCRIPTS they gave Dalton were very substandard - otherwise I think he'd be better regarded today as Bond.
This has to be one of my favorite movies of all time. Its so brilliantly shot, every actor in it absolutely kills their roll. The parallels from beginning to end. It makes perfect sense when you realize who directed it. Edgar Wright is SO GOOD.
It's fantastic from top to bottom and back to front. The editing, the acting, the writing are all A+. It may be a perfect movie because I cannot find a single fault.
@@jeremyc4893 Edgar Wright, he was the director at first until they tried to force him into another direction for the film so he quit. He was the one that made the very first short to show people what the movie could be like
Timothy Dalton has such a gloriously sinister face. His smile is just filled with menace. And despite (or perhaps because of) that, the man remains my favorite James Bond. I don't care what anybody says, that's my story, and I'm sticking to it. By the way, "Yarp," is played by Rory McCann, who also played The Hound in Game of Thrones. After you know that, you never quite look at The Hound the same way again :D.
You are correct sir, that is no rat, it's a hedgehog. Quite common in the UK, though in decline. Very cute little things, they're nocturnal and eat slugs so gardeners like them. It's not advised to pet them though, as they often carry fleas and have very sharp spines instead of fur.
They're (or... they were) very common in Italy too, and in all Europe, I suppose. I can't believe that they don't know hedgehog, in the U.S., I though they were common there too!
Brits have baked beans as a side for practically every meal. I LOVE that the sgt comes up with a totally believable scenario for the murders and it's actually just simply this one was annoying, this one had an ugly house etc.
Yeah makes you think it's this big planned scheme but then it's just people deciding to kill others over the most petty shit ever. Good subversion of expectations and genre tropes (HEY RIAN TAKE NOTES)
Yeah my time visiting there was a bit of a shocker. Beans with toast, beans with eggs, beans with chicken, beans with beans etc. I still love the good old fish and chips with mushy peas and malt vinegar though. Good stuff.

"The World's End" is the next big one these guys made, and absolutely worth a watch too. It's amazing the different tones the characters take thoughout the films. Usually when you have a comedy duo like this they end up playing the same sort of characters every time.
You could watch this 5 times and still find new stuff as far as jokes, call backs and visual gags go... it's why Hot Fuzz is many people's favorite of the "Cornetto Trilogy"
@@voodoochile333 I mean not really, Angel only checked Skinners legs, it could of been any of them that was the one who got cut? Plus it’s not really something that needs to be explained anyway it was simply the catalyst for Angel to be even more certain it was Skinner behind it all.
@@ItsTonyMc considering it is a whodunit, I think evidence would be important for a policeman. Maybe it was the granny who angel dropkicked in the face?
That was the Hound from game of thrones that was kicking his butt. At least 3 actors from that show here. Waldor Frey, Sandor Clegane, and the grand Maester from the Citadel with Sam.
Fun fact: Santa, the CSI team and the hostage taker, were all the celebrity cameos, in one scene. They covered most of them all up, to fool with the audience. Peter Jackson was Santa and Cate Blanchette was his ex-GF.
The creature in question early in the film was a hedgehog. Next, you will have to watch "The World's End." This film completes what is known as "Three Flovours Cornetto Trilogy." The other films being "Hot Fuzz" and "Saun of the Dead." So watching the third film is a must.
You absolutely get credit since you got the 2 main bad guys who were there for the final showdown. I'm glad you liked this so much. It's definitely my favorite action comedy ever. The writing and editing are beyond brilliant. Sorry there were so many scenes that were tough on your stomach, but a big thank you for an amazing reaction.
I'm so glad that you are watching this. I lost my copilot (Hendo) on mother's day. So this is a good distraction from what has been going on in my life right now. I also want to thank you for your reactions. They have always been great.
Everybody has Shotguns because they are the easiest firearms to own in the UK and are almost more common in country town and villages than sheep. The small animal, that wasn't a rat, is a hedgehog. A small adorably cute bundle of spines, known to parents as carriers of fleas.
Blank did you wrong by not having you watch 'Point Break' before this. The scene where Danny couldn't shoot his dad, so he just fired the gun up into the air had the whole theater laughing their asses off...and the reference would fly right by you if you haven't seen 'Point Break'.
@Kenobi - Blank is me, his partner/editor. And while I agree to a point, he’ll be okay not getting one non verbal reference when we do get to Point Break. LoL
Really enjoyed this reaction! Please add 'Point Break' to your list of movies to watch, Patrick Swayze and Keanu Reeves are excellent in it. Hopefully 'Saw IV' will be on the channel soon!
The animal in the riot room was a hedgehog! They are common all over Great Britain apart from inner cities. Generally meek and lovable, though I once (along with a random woman who was passing) saw one fighting a toad and the screams and violence left us staring in shock. Then both of them turned as one, noticed us. looked shocked and ran away as if we weren't supposed to see that. We (me and the stranger) looked at each other almost speechless, said a few incoherent things and then went on our ways, with a sort of 'did that really happen?' / ''let us never speak of this' thing. Hedgehogs. Also, spiky.
I love Simon Pegg.. I hope you watch more of his movies. He and Nick Frost have done several movies together. "The World's End" "Paul" "Slaughterhouse Rulez" and there was even a one season show " Truth Seekers" which I wish they would have had more seasons of.
One bit of trivia: the old man who was in the NWA complaining about the living statue and who shot Ed at the end, was British actor Edward Woodward, who was the original 'Equalizer' in the 1980s tv series, about a vigilante ex-secret agent who helped people out when they couldn't get enough help from law enforcement. Denzel Washington's 'Equalizer' is based on the same character, even keeping the same name of Robert McCall.
I love how you seemed to be against him enforcing any laws like underage drinking, drinking and driving, or speeding but when it comes to an unarmed person throwing him around a bit you tell him to just shoot him to death. Interesting... haha I loved this movie. Easily my favorite Simon Pegg movie. I could probably watch it over and over again. Yarp!
Nah it wasn’t that I was against him forcing any laws I was speaking more of his determination to force even the tiniest of laws when everyone else telling him it’s not that serious.
This is my all time favorite movie so I love watching people react to it. Not only were you on top of what was going on, but you’re HELLA entertaining. Had me giggling throughout.
Another fun fact: The guy with all the surveillance cameras is no other than Edward Woodward, who starred in The Wicker Man, which this movie parodies.
Yes thats prof Slughorn, also the animal in the riot room was a Hedgehog. Also I loved how you were horrified by the gore in the movie, but not as much as you were horrified by the idea of beans for breakfast, lol!
Plus the beans in the uk aren’t what Americans think they are they’re soft and come in a thick tomato-ey sauce warm them up put em on some toast with butter 🤤🤤🤤
That creature in the riot room - that is a hedgehog. As you may notice, they aren't blue, nor do they move at lightning speed. They DO however explode into gold rings when they get run over. They come into gardens at night and snuffle around munching on slugs and worms. They aren't particularly scared of humans and will come up to you and sniff around you. When scared, they curl into a ball and use their spikes for defence. They can be uncomfortable to pick up or hold but are otherwise harmless and a joy to see snuffling around saving cabbages from being eaten by slugs.
The ketchup in the eye reaction had me laughing but what made me really laugh was when the Swan attacked the sergeant and you said "what's wrong with him"😂😂😂
"They did not have guns in Romeo and Juliet!" Alright, JL's gotta watch the adaptation with Leo. And Maybe Coriolanus too. Lets dip his toe in some thespian water.
THIS REACTION ... was absolutely everything! I would NOT have stopped for the swan and the police chief would've gotten away, lol. There ARE birds I'd have stopped for, even if I didn't put them in the car, but ... swans ain't a single one of them. Mean as hell and vicious. Think about it: A SWAN STOPPED AN EXPERIENCED SERIAL-KILLER COP. 'Nuff said. I kinda want to see a "Hot Fuzz 2: Twenty Years Later" and I DEFINITELY want to see your reaction to it. I also want a sea-mine. For reasons 😁
Also, look into Paddy Considine's work (that's the Andy with the mustache he knows he has lol). Dead Man's Shoes is one of his best performances and Tyrannosaur is his feature directorial debut, and they're both masterpieces.
The play was based on the 1996 Leonardo Dicaprio movie Romeo and Juliet, which was an updated version set in today time. But they kept the Shakespearean speech 😅.
This is your first reaction video I've seen - and I had an absolute blast watching this with you, I laughed uproariously several times - I'm so glad you enjoyed this film, it's a gem. Looking forward to checking out your backlist of reactions!
"People eat beans for breakfast... ewww" The Murderwhistle has clearly not had an English fry-up whilst hung over😂 hahaha Edit: Here's my word, that I would cook The MW a real fry-up should he ask... and be near-by haha
This is one of those movies that you need to watch a couple of times to pick up all the nuances and extra details. Like the short cut was in the Shaun of the dead movie as well. Thank you for viewing another great film , you and the co-pilots are why I keep coming back for more. Thank you!!!!!
This movie will still be funny 60 years from now. It's just so well put together. There's so many little moments that just kill me. And I love that it's a play on action films, hence all the references throughout. Longtime fans of Wright's will notice some of the original SPACED cast peppered in. Something he does often in his films. He likes to use lots of the same actors in his films. That shows he's most likely a good friend because he takes care of his people, in front of and behind the camera. The man is a class act. I wish Pegg and Frost teamed up more often. They're chemistry is unmistakable. They're a modern day Laurel and Hardy. I could go on and on about this film. It's awesome, team EOM is awesome. Keep it going guys!
J, that was a finely timed Hadouken. I’m glad you got the chance to see this movie, it’s a classic. Excellent reaction and editing. It was excellent seeing J become more dumbfounded as the movie went on, just like my first time seeing this in the theatre. God bless you guys with excellence.
I live near the town where this was filmed. The strong local accent that has to be translated is pretty accurate. It took me almost 3 months to understand what my neighbour was talking about, as i had to tune into the accent when i moved into the area😂.
Awesome reaction J Man 🙌! Simon Pegg and Nick Frost are like the British version of Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly (but with a little more seriousness in the diet). Both of them are classic duos.
That creature is a hedgehog, that's what Sonic looks like in real life ;) The movie has some interesting cameos, the stabbing santa is Peter Jackson, the director of Lord of the Rings-movies, the girlfriend that breaks up is Cate Blanchett and the guy she was seeing is this movie's director Edgar Wright. You should definitely watch Point Break (the original, not the crappy remake that nobody remembers about)
That gun was a blunderbus. You could load forks, spoons, everyone lived at the end because this is an homage movie . . . . . in big action movies incredible things happen and miraculously the heroes survive. There are so many nods to so many movies it's crazy!
It came from the unintelligible farmer. The NWA guy worked upstairs in the station so had access and took the blunderbuss which would have been part of the sea-mine collection.
He WAS getting rid of underage drinking. BUT you have to understand kids can drink a lot younger in the UK. They don't have to wait until they're 21. YOU can't buy it BUT IF you're with an adult and they buy it for you... YOU can drinking a bar at 16. My niece is a bartender in England.
18:29 British bake beans are different from what we have in the States. I haven't had them but I know beans on toast is a staple of every college kids diet.
I started watching your videos about a week ago and now I can't stop. Very entertaining. I would love if you react to The Sixth Sense starring Bruce Willlis
I second that! You must be familiar with various sci-fi movies to get some of the jokes and scenes, but it is worth it. (Hey JL have you seen Close Encounters of the Third Kind"? You should watch it if you haven't. It is classic Spielberg!)
This is my favorite movie, it has everything. The first draft of this movie had a love interest in it for Angel, but they decided to scrap that and gave all that person’s lines to Butterman instead. Anytime it’s time to go somewhere I tell my son “little hand says it’s time to rock and roll” - love this movie. Easily the best of the trilogy.
Btw, swans can be quite aggressive! They've actually been known to injure people seriously, if they're being territorial or defending a nest or something
Romeo and Juliet with Leonardo DiCaprio is one of the movie versions of that play that is most honest to the actual script. Almost nothing cut out, nothing altered; it takes place in the 90s. The weapons they use are the sword series Taurus line, it's so cool, 10/10. Sorry, the part with the play came on and when you said "They didn't have-!" my brain just automatically "AKSHUALLY".
So is that Chekov Shroedinger's sea mine? Shows up in the beginning like Chekov's Gun only to come back and be crucial in the end and it's both in a constant state of inert and live existing as both and none at once -- until you "open up the box" and find out the cat is blowing up in your face.
Bro I'm so hype you're watching this, this movie is firmly in my top 5 films. I love you nodded along with their comment about the annoying laugh, like "shit, I get that one at least." Lmao
First... I've never clicked anything so fast. I scared the dog shouting, "Holy shit J's watching Hot Fuzz!" Second... I assume that's a Mighty Ducks t-shirt and as a Minnesotan, I highly approve. Third... English breakfasts are criminal.
Those “pretty-ass eyes” belong to none other than Cate Blanchett in a cameo appearance.
came here to say this. She volunteered for the role because she loved Shaun of the Dead

I’m so mad truth seekers didn’t get a second season!!
I think they were doing the Baz Luhrman version of Romeo + Juliet🤣
One bit of trivia: the old man who was in the NWA complaining about the living statue and who shot Ed at the end, was British actor Edward Woodward, who was the original 'Equalizer' in the 1980s tv series, about a vigilante ex-secret agent who helped people out when they couldn't get enough help from law enforcement. Denzel Washington's 'Equalizer' is based on the same character, even keeping the same name of Robert McCall.
40:00 "Nothing like a bit of girl-on-girl!" - Oscar-winning actress Olivia Colman.
I love how you seemed to be against him enforcing any laws like underage drinking, drinking and driving, or speeding but when it comes to an unarmed person throwing him around a bit you tell him to just shoot him to death. Interesting... haha
I loved this movie. Easily my favorite Simon Pegg movie. I could probably watch it over and over again. Yarp!
Nah it wasn’t that I was against him forcing any laws I was speaking more of his determination to force even the tiniest of laws when everyone else telling him it’s not that serious.
This is my all time favorite movie so I love watching people react to it. Not only were you on top of what was going on, but you’re HELLA entertaining. Had me giggling throughout.
J putting 2 and 2 together with the mom and sister comment killed me
Another fun fact: The guy with all the surveillance cameras is no other than Edward Woodward, who starred in The Wicker Man, which this movie parodies.
He also played the original Equalizer on CBS back in the 1980’s
Oh God no! Are his last words in both films.
I'm glad you liked this one! British humor!!
The greater good
the greater gooooood..
The greater good...
Yes thats prof Slughorn, also the animal in the riot room was a Hedgehog. Also I loved how you were horrified by the gore in the movie, but not as much as you were horrified by the idea of beans for breakfast, lol!
"people eat beans for breakfast?!" Yes. Mexico. Next question.
Plus the beans in the uk aren’t what Americans think they are they’re soft and come in a thick tomato-ey sauce warm them up put em on some toast with butter 🤤🤤🤤
That creature in the riot room - that is a hedgehog.
As you may notice, they aren't blue, nor do they move at lightning speed. They DO however explode into gold rings when they get run over.
They come into gardens at night and snuffle around munching on slugs and worms. They aren't particularly scared of humans and will come up to you and sniff around you. When scared, they curl into a ball and use their spikes for defence.
They can be uncomfortable to pick up or hold but are otherwise harmless and a joy to see snuffling around saving cabbages from being eaten by slugs.
"oh he ain't got a gun!"
American Police Officer ...
BANG! Stop or I'll Shoot!
British Police Officer ...
STOP! or I'll say stop again!
The ketchup in the eye reaction had me laughing but what made me really laugh was when the Swan attacked the sergeant and you said "what's wrong with him"😂😂😂
He deserve all the points for guessing some of the killers. Hilarious watching you react to this movie. The best of the trilogy, IMO.
Most rational folks know it's the best haha ✌️
"They did not have guns in Romeo and Juliet!"
Alright, JL's gotta watch the adaptation with Leo. And Maybe Coriolanus too. Lets dip his toe in some thespian water.
"Thespian? That's illegal in 11 states." #Rango
We didn't even get an "EUUUUUUGH!" at the head-splatter scene, just sheer shock and dissociation lol
Loved that reaction which,genuinely,made me cry with 69 year old Male laughter in London:)
You're going to need a big box of tissues for this one - to wipe away the tears of laughter. You do not want to miss a single moment :D
Sandwell is Wells ,a historic town in the South West of England..The store was a real somerfields, now Morrisons
what i love about this movie the more you watch it the more you pick up on some things you miss and the movie is just amazing to rewatch
THIS REACTION ... was absolutely everything!
I would NOT have stopped for the swan and the police chief would've gotten away, lol. There ARE birds I'd have stopped for, even if I didn't put them in the car, but ... swans ain't a single one of them. Mean as hell and vicious. Think about it: A SWAN STOPPED AN EXPERIENCED SERIAL-KILLER COP.
'Nuff said.
I kinda want to see a "Hot Fuzz 2: Twenty Years Later" and I DEFINITELY want to see your reaction to it. I also want a sea-mine. For reasons 😁
Also, look into Paddy Considine's work (that's the Andy with the mustache he knows he has lol). Dead Man's Shoes is one of his best performances and Tyrannosaur is his feature directorial debut, and they're both masterpieces.
Ooh. I'll have to check those out. I love Paddy Considine. He's so cute.
Excited for this one 🎉 Let's do this!!!
"Imma fck old people up" -Jay 2023
Best line is the preacher screaming Jesus Christ after getting shot. Great stuff guys! Reaction and Editing.
That scene makes me chuckle everytime I see it 😂
One of THE GREATEST comedies AND action films of the 21st century. No question.
The fork in the eye reaction had me crying laughing. 😂
The play was based on the 1996 Leonardo Dicaprio movie Romeo and Juliet, which was an updated version set in today time. But they kept the Shakespearean speech 😅.
This is your first reaction video I've seen - and I had an absolute blast watching this with you, I laughed uproariously several times - I'm so glad you enjoyed this film, it's a gem.
Looking forward to checking out your backlist of reactions!
Welcome to the family!
"People eat beans for breakfast... ewww"
The Murderwhistle has clearly not had an English fry-up whilst hung over😂
hahaha
Edit: Here's my word, that I would cook The MW a real fry-up should he ask... and be near-by haha
Go to any Mexican restaurant beans and rice will be a side dish
This is one of those movies that you need to watch a couple of times to pick up all the nuances and extra details. Like the short cut was in the Shaun of the dead movie as well. Thank you for viewing another great film , you and the co-pilots are why I keep coming back for more. Thank you!!!!!
"Did they arrest George Washington?" LMAO 🤣
This movie will still be funny 60 years from now. It's just so well put together. There's so many little moments that just kill me. And I love that it's a play on action films, hence all the references throughout. Longtime fans of Wright's will notice some of the original SPACED cast peppered in. Something he does often in his films. He likes to use lots of the same actors in his films. That shows he's most likely a good friend because he takes care of his people, in front of and behind the camera. The man is a class act. I wish Pegg and Frost teamed up more often. They're chemistry is unmistakable. They're a modern day Laurel and Hardy. I could go on and on about this film. It's awesome, team EOM is awesome. Keep it going guys!
J, that was a finely timed Hadouken. I’m glad you got the chance to see this movie, it’s a classic. Excellent reaction and editing. It was excellent seeing J become more dumbfounded as the movie went on, just like my first time seeing this in the theatre. God bless you guys with excellence.
40:40 Swans are property of the British Royal Family, you cannot injure a swan.
19:47 "SHUDDUPP" 🤣best one yet
If you've seen House Of The Dragon, the actor playing Andy Wainwright, the one with the thick moustache, also plays King Viserys.
I live near the town where this was filmed. The strong local accent that has to be translated is pretty accurate. It took me almost 3 months to understand what my neighbour was talking about, as i had to tune into the accent when i moved into the area😂.
Awesome reaction J Man 🙌! Simon Pegg and Nick Frost are like the British version of Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly (but with a little more seriousness in the diet). Both of them are classic duos.
The big guy was the Hound in Game of Thrones btw.
That creature is a hedgehog, that's what Sonic looks like in real life ;) The movie has some interesting cameos, the stabbing santa is Peter Jackson, the director of Lord of the Rings-movies, the girlfriend that breaks up is Cate Blanchett and the guy she was seeing is this movie's director Edgar Wright.
You should definitely watch Point Break (the original, not the crappy remake that nobody remembers about)
Your reactions just gets better and better. This has become one of my favorite RUclips channels
It's my favourite of the Cornetto trilogy. The death of Tim Messenger still disturbs me so i was waiting for your reaction to it😂
That gun was a blunderbus. You could load forks, spoons, everyone lived at the end because this is an homage movie . . . . . in big action movies incredible things happen and miraculously the heroes survive. There are so many nods to so many movies it's crazy!
It came from the unintelligible farmer. The NWA guy worked upstairs in the station so had access and took the blunderbuss which would have been part of the sea-mine collection.
Oh lord, he ain't never seen Supercop. Here comes a full Jackie Chan month!
"He's NOT Judge Judy and executioner!!!"
THE QUACK ATTACK IS BACK JACK!
lol 😆
love tha shirt!!
He WAS getting rid of underage drinking. BUT you have to understand kids can drink a lot younger in the UK. They don't have to wait until they're 21. YOU can't buy it BUT IF you're with an adult and they buy it for you... YOU can drinking a bar at 16. My niece is a bartender in England.
😂😂 ❤ The fence scene is a direct "shaun of the dead" reference except he nailed it in hot fuzz i laughed ssssoooooo hard when scene happened
"They did not have guns in Romeo and Juliet!"
They did have guns in the 1996 film _Romeo + Juliet_ starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Claire Danes. 😉
"What creature was that?" - In the riot room? That's a European Hedgehog. :)
18:29 British bake beans are different from what we have in the States. I haven't had them but I know beans on toast is a staple of every college kids diet.
Fun fact skinner is actually played BY Timothy Dalton Aka james bond from 1987-1989 for two movies! ❤
The lady who he brake up with was played by Cate Blanchett. :) :)
I started watching your videos about a week ago and now I can't stop. Very entertaining. I would love if you react to The Sixth Sense starring Bruce Willlis
You should checkout the movie Paul, with Nick Frost and Simon Pegg. It is HILARIOUS!
I think I liked Paul better than this is the end
I second that! You must be familiar with various sci-fi movies to get some of the jokes and scenes, but it is worth it. (Hey JL have you seen Close Encounters of the Third Kind"? You should watch it if you haven't. It is classic Spielberg!)
This is my favorite movie, it has everything. The first draft of this movie had a love interest in it for Angel, but they decided to scrap that and gave all that person’s lines to Butterman instead. Anytime it’s time to go somewhere I tell my son “little hand says it’s time to rock and roll” - love this movie. Easily the best of the trilogy.
Btw, swans can be quite aggressive! They've actually been known to injure people seriously, if they're being territorial or defending a nest or something
Romeo and Juliet with Leonardo DiCaprio is one of the movie versions of that play that is most honest to the actual script. Almost nothing cut out, nothing altered; it takes place in the 90s. The weapons they use are the sword series Taurus line, it's so cool, 10/10.
Sorry, the part with the play came on and when you said "They didn't have-!" my brain just automatically "AKSHUALLY".
So is that Chekov Shroedinger's sea mine? Shows up in the beginning like Chekov's Gun only to come back and be crucial in the end and it's both in a constant state of inert and live existing as both and none at once -- until you "open up the box" and find out the cat is blowing up in your face.
Bro I'm so hype you're watching this, this movie is firmly in my top 5 films.
I love you nodded along with their comment about the annoying laugh, like "shit, I get that one at least." Lmao
First... I've never clicked anything so fast. I scared the dog shouting, "Holy shit J's watching Hot Fuzz!"
Second... I assume that's a Mighty Ducks t-shirt and as a Minnesotan, I highly approve.
Third... English breakfasts are criminal.
