@@chrissiereacts yeah, I think so. Shaun and Fuzz are both brilliant. I think some people put Hot Fuzz above SOTD. Also Hot Fuzz seems to get shown on TV a lot more than the others. World's End was a bit of a flop though. I think because Simon Pegg's character was much less likeable.
When you rewatch it, you notice there are a LOT of callbacks in the final act of the film, such as Joyce shouting "FASCIST" before shooting Nicholas, that was a callback to their first meeting when she's doing the crossword, as is him saying "hag!" afterwards. Another one is the farmer shouting "MUM!" when Angel hits his car and she shoots him, that's another callback cos remember the detectives mention "everybody and their mums are packing here". "Like who?" "Farmers!" "Who else?" "Farmers' mums". See if you can spot all the callbacks and self-referential moments, there are a lot of them. One of my faves is when one of the detectives says "shall we put in a call to Aaron A Aaronson?" then the kid in the model village at the end says his name is "Aaron Aaronson". Also not sure if you noticed, but "the greater good" is never said just once, whenever anyone says it it's always repeated by someone else! Honestly this is such a clever and well crafted film, every time you watch it you notice something new.
You had more than one right it was full of red herrings gun to watch you experience this film Simon, Nick and Edgar were an amazing team Edgar's cut and transitions are amazing.
The best part of this movie is the rewatches.. You always catch a new reference. My favorite catch is at the carnival where the girl cop is between 2 dudes and in front of her there is a pig being spit roasted.
just to be clear, the drinking age in the UK is 18. Thats the age you legally have to be to get served alcohol in a bar or at a shop. Drinking at home i believe is parents discretion provided your over a certain age (5 years old), and are not allowed to become drunk. However, kids obviously still do, and its not uncommon to see kids drink at 14, 15 or wt ever. Dunno wt ppl said on the This is england video, but thats the actual law.
A 16 or 17-year-old, when accompanied by an adult, can drink beer, cider, or wine with their meal - don't forget this! (I'm sure this has reminded a few of The Inbetweeners)
In Denmark 18 to get served alchohol in a bar or bying liquor youself and 16 to buy anything under 16% alchohol in a super market. But I actually don't think we got a drinking age. If the police saw a couple of drunk 12 year old they wouldnt do anything about it unless they were irresponsible
@@CagedPaps there's also exceptions when it comes to beer gardens outdoors next to the pub, it's not technically "on the premises" so it can be up to the parent's discretion, however in all instances you must be over 18 to buy alcohol, and 16 years old to order any non alcoholic drinks from a bar
My favorite of the trilogy. Tons of movie references. Everything from “ The Wicker Man”, Straw Dogs” , The Phantom of the Paradise” and lots more. Love the cameos like Peter Jackson as the Santa Claus that stabs him and Cate Blanchett as his ex girlfriend.
The best of the Cornetto Trilogy Just a brilliant film from start to finish with a superb cast. Painfully funny scenes, the showdown in the town when Angel returns is hilarious, a send up of Point Break and Bad Boys, and about every action film ever made. Just brilliant!
The greater good. I have watched this movie a few times since, but twice at the theatre when it was first released. I watched it the second time because I'd been laughing, and I knew that I'd missed dialogue. So many juicy details to appreciate.
That was genuinely joyous. My intro to you was watching you being broken into tears by a bunch of movies. 😆 I was like - there is no way this one will make you cry. hehe. World's End is brilliant. One of my favourites. Anyways, I see you reacted to Spinal Tap!!! So....awaaaaaay I go, onto the next one haha.
I am really enjoying your videos. This is such a great movie. Trivia: The music that played while they inspected the barn full of weapons was originally used in the teaser trailer for “Lethal Weapon (1987).
Yep the second of the Cornetto Trilogy. The supermarket manager, Skinner is played by Timothy Dalton, who played James Bond no. 4. In, Worlds End the next and last in the series there's a character played by Pierce Brosnan, James Bond no.5.
I loved this watchalong with you! Although it's not 'officially' part of the cornetto-trilogy, Pegg and Frost are together again in 2011's Paul, and is definitely worth a fun watch.
Love your videos! You reacted at the end as if you might not have seen a model village before, do they not have them over there? You can get some pretty elaborate ones over here.
Most actors have been highlighted to you, apart from the police inspector, played by Steve Coogan from the "Night at the Museum" franchise, the other two policemen Martin Freeman and Bill Nighy have been in too much stuff to list here. Lord of the Rings and Hobbit director Peter Jackson was the Santa who stabbed him. Joyce Cooper "hag" was played by Billie Whitelaw, the evil children's nanny from one of the most iconic horror films "The Omen". The vicar/priest is played by Paul Freeman (no relation to Martin), he was Belloq the main baddie in "Raiders of the Lost Ark". The guy from the NWA in charge of all the cctvs, was Edward Woodward, the original "Equaliser" from an 80s U.S. tv show, (theme song "An Englishman in New York" written and performed by Sting), he was also the original Wicker Man, that Hollywood butchered with a terrible remake starring Nicholas Cage. His last line in this "oh God no" was exactly the same as in The Wicker Man. There're actually two Oscar winning actresses in this, apart from Cate Blanchett, wpc Doris, played by Olivia Coleman, who won best actress in 2018 or 19.
Cate Blanchett played uncredited Nicholas's ex-partner at the start of the film, Genene/Genine. You can only see it's her by looking at her eyes thanks to the forensic suit, but it also gives a master class in acting with your eyes and your voice as you can see her emotion just from that small region of her face.
'Englishman in New York' wasn't the theme for The Equalizer. The actual theme music was written by Stewart Copland, the drummer in The Police (of which Sting was the bassist & vocalist) so maybe that's where you're getting confused.
12:07 That's Rafe Spall. You might recognize him as the disrespectful kid Shaun worked with in Shaun of the Dead. "Keep your 'air on, granddad." That's him.
Edward Woodward (neighbourhood watch leader) was in The Wicker Man and The Equalizer and Billie Whitelaw (the hotel owner) was in The Omen. Bill Nighy (Chief Inspector) has been in loads of stuff like Valkyrie and Jim Broadbent (Inspector Butterman) has ended up in pretty much every British film for ages now. Steve Coogan (London Inspector) is of course quite famous in the US and UK as a comedian and Stephen Marchant (Mr. Staker) is another comedian who is quite famous. And as you rightly say Timothy Dalton was Bond in the late 80s into the early 90s, replacing Roger Moore and being replaced by Pierce Brosnan.
Paddy Considine's partner is Rafe Spall (son of Timothy Spall), the first time I noticed him was in ''Shaun of the Dead'', he was the young cocky colleague of ''Shaun''. He's also in an excellent BBC tv-mini-series ''The Shadow Line'' with Chiwetel Ejiofor (''Dirty pretty Things''). Btw, Paddy Considine's directing debut ''Tyrannosaur'' with Olivia Colman, Peter Mullan and Eddie Marsan is a very impressive debut but harsh drama, not an easy watch, which imo is quite similar in tone to Gary Oldman's only directing effort ''Nil By Mouth'' (1997) with Ray Winstone. All reccommended.
@@ScoobayRafe is a brilliant actor. was white Christmas the one where his girlfriend has blocked him in real life and he was doomed to live in his own in a log cabin?
First of all, I love your laugh. Then your sense of humour. Another Edgar Wright movie you might like, Scott Pilgrim vs. the World. You're beautiful, especially at 16:45. 🙂
31:36 The oath for doctors is "The Hippocratic Oath". 😉 34:17 Two of the "Village of The Year Judges" are played by the mothers of Edgar Wright and Simon Pegg.
For anyone who didn’t get the Romeo and Juliet joke, they were doing a stage performance of the Baz Luhrmann version from the 90’s set in then modern Verona (the American one,) it’s the version with John Leguizamo as Tybalt Paul Rudd as Paris, Harold Perrineau as Mercutio, Leo as Romeo and Claire Danes as Juliet, hence the gun and the song that plays after Juliet dies. (It’s why he said it was a Homage to William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet.)
Interestingly enough the Luhrmann version is only 120 minutes long which is just 2 hours long like the original play, but they which means in this context Nick and Danny state that they sat through 3 hours of so-called acting with the kiss being the only convincing part, which implies that the amateur actors repeatedly messed up takes and had to start scenes over or inserted songs and musical numbers to pad the run time.
I have to say I was born in 88 and didnt watch point break till maybe 2015 and the scene where keanu jumps out of the plane without a parachute is the most intense and totally rad moment in action movies.
Fun tidbit about the twins at the front of the station: one of the twins is reading Iain Banks, and the other is reading Iain M. Banks, the name Banks used for his science fiction novels.
So. start with some factual stuff Alcohol is complicated in the UK. 18 is the age when all restrictions on purchase are removed, subject to the licensee's discretion. But In England if you have alcohol with a meal. and it's purchased by someone over 18 then it's usually okay. Anyhow, this whole film is wonderful and almost a directory of British film and TV actors while nodding to endless other films. It all, sort of, spins from the equally wonderful Spaced, a TV sitcom from the 90s. In some ways it's even a throwback to Will Hay and other old-school comedies. I love it, and it's a brilliant reaction. Thank you.
I think my favorite info tidbit from this is Frank's police uniform is Victorian - the style and the VR insignia, compared to the then current ER for Elizabethan, and the now CR for whatever 'an' Charles turns out to be (Previous Charles' reigns were Caroline(I) and Carolean(II)). It gives an indication he's very much stuck in the past.
Sort of - a stanley knife has a retractable triangular blade usually inside a solid metal handle. Stanley is also a brand of tools in the UK (like Milwaukee or Makita) but what Skinner had there was a cheap version of that with disposable blades which you break off as they become dull inside a cheap plastic handle with a long hole down one side - the blade is still retractable with a ratchet mechanism but it's not designed to be used forever like a proper Stanley knife. A box cutter however is just that - it's a tool for cutting boxes. Supermarkets issue them to their staff a lot of the time (which was probably the look they were going for here as Skinner was a supermarket worker/manager) but proper box cutters have fixed blades behind a plastic U guard so that the worker can't touch the blade at all but it fits over the edge of a box to cut it open or whatever.
The other Andy is Rafe Spall. He’s been in Prometheus, The Big Short, Jurassic Park Fallen Kingdom and the tv series Trying. His dad Timothy Spall is one of my favourite actors and a UK legend. Great reaction, The Worlds End coming soon I hope.
RUclips has ‘a room for Romeo brass’ which is paddy considines acting debut. It’s directed by Shane meadows who directed this is England and it’s also the debut of a young milky for this is England. Good film too
@@patrickholt2270yes brilliant. He directed Tyrannosaur which is great and first time I saw him he played an Irishman “In America” and I was surprised to find out he wasn’t Irish. His accent was that good
You need to watch the DVD with the trivia track … Amongst other tidbits, they couldn’t damage the glass in the supermarket so they pretended it was bulletproof, lol … And they do paperwork because the coppers they studied with said it wasn’t shown properly in TV and film :)
If you like Paddy, you should watch "The Outsider" with Jason Bateman. It's based on Stephen King lore stuff about children being abducted and the police forensics team trying to track down the real killer. Paddy plays a major role toward the end of the 10 part series. Definitely worth the watch. Inticer: he has one line in the finale that is the creepiest thing I've ever heard someone say...
Sergeant Angel, used the go out with Kate Blancett Galadriel from Lord of the rings. Works with Martin freeman, Bilbo from the Hobbit. Bill Neigh Victor the head vampire from underworld. Then proceeds to beat both James Bond and the Hound. All in the same film.
great that there's James Bond , The Equalizer ( real one ) and the Hound in it............................... among many other very well known British actors
You've seen him as the nice guy in Steve Carrell's team in the Big Short (and also as a very young man working with Shaun in the electronics store in Shaun of the Dead). 🙂
This is a perfect script. Every moment is either set up or pay off. Not a moment is wasted in this film.
Dalton, one of so many perfect turns.
Yep everything that is said or happens early in the movie is a payoff for later
Hot Fuzz's enduring charm seems to be mashing up an American cop movie with an English murder mystery. Great concept and really well executed.
It's the most British Western ever!
That's what it always was.
the big bald "Yarp" guy is the same actor that plays the hound in Game of Thrones.
🤯 it's so obvious now that you say it but I didn't catch that!
Yarrr.
Yarp the King
Rory McCann.
And walder frey as the farmer with the arsenal.
You're 100% right.
Shaun of the Dead, then Hot Fuzz, then World's End, are the cornetto trilogy.
I believe that's also the order of most people's opinions on the films? That's my ranking so far :)
@@chrissiereacts yeah, I think so. Shaun and Fuzz are both brilliant. I think some people put Hot Fuzz above SOTD. Also Hot Fuzz seems to get shown on TV a lot more than the others.
World's End was a bit of a flop though. I think because Simon Pegg's character was much less likeable.
I liked it.. it was inferior to this and shaun but a lot of fun nonetheless..imo@@TrickyDicky2006

One of my favorite call backs in this movie.
SO many good callbacks, one of the funniest and most over the top ones is "FASCIST!" "HAG!"
I do have to say between the cast, the references and, all the payoffs it’s pretty much a perfect movie.
I like you and have subscribed. Very well-known British cast including a "James Bond" i. e Timothy Dalton as The Grocer etc
I just realised you're Canadian, which only adds to my theory that Canadians make the best movie reactors.
regarding the shoot out at the end with the oldies, if you havent already check out Cockneys vs zombies
It's so bonkers and over the top, i love Hot Fuzz😂
In an amongst at the comedy, Danny stabbing Nicholas is genuinely one of the most shocking moments in film.
For anyone who didn’t get the Romeo and Juliet joke, they were doing a stage performance of the Baz Luhrmann version from the 90’s set in then modern Verona (the American one,) it’s the version with John Leguizamo as Tybalt Paul Rudd as Paris, Harold Perrineau as Mercutio, Leo as Romeo and Claire Danes as Juliet, hence the gun and the song that plays after Juliet dies.

Skinner is played by Timothy Dalton who is one of the top Bonds that Garry and Ray talk about in Mr Inbetween!
I have to say I was born in 88 and didnt watch point break till maybe 2015 and the scene where keanu jumps out of the plane without a parachute is the most intense and totally rad moment in action movies.
That actor is Kevin Eldon and he is pretty much a British Bill Hader - fantastic character actor/ comedy bit part guy.
I forgot to realise how star studded this film really is .
Absolute genius film.
10/10 😂😂😂

Alcohol is complicated in the UK. 18 is the age when all restrictions on purchase are removed, subject to the licensee's discretion.
But
In England if you have alcohol with a meal. and it's purchased by someone over 18 then it's usually okay.
Anyhow, this whole film is wonderful and almost a directory of British film and TV actors while nodding to endless other films.

You need to watch Spaced the comedy series. Where it all began

@@Bevtone not really. It's where Simon Pegg began possibly

And he’s Mr Gruber in the Paddington films.
How funny that the Hound plays Hodor in this.
The knife was a Stanley Knife (or Standing Knife as my father used to call them). Apparently Americans like to call them Box Cutters for some reason.
We call them xacto knives lol
Sort of - a stanley knife has a retractable triangular blade usually inside a solid metal handle. Stanley is also a brand of tools in the UK (like Milwaukee or Makita) but what Skinner had there was a cheap version of that with disposable blades which you break off as they become dull inside a cheap plastic handle with a long hole down one side - the blade is still retractable with a ratchet mechanism but it's not designed to be used forever like a proper Stanley knife.
A box cutter however is just that - it's a tool for cutting boxes. Supermarkets issue them to their staff a lot of the time (which was probably the look they were going for here as Skinner was a supermarket worker/manager) but proper box cutters have fixed blades behind a plastic U guard so that the worker can't touch the blade at all but it fits over the edge of a box to cut it open or whatever.
The other Andy is Rafe Spall. He’s been in Prometheus, The Big Short, Jurassic Park Fallen Kingdom and the tv series Trying. His dad Timothy Spall is one of my favourite actors and a UK legend. Great reaction, The Worlds End coming soon I hope.
He was also the bratty underling in Shaun's shop.
I'd forgotten how funny this flick was lol
RUclips has ‘a room for Romeo brass’ which is paddy considines acting debut. It’s directed by Shane meadows who directed this is England and it’s also the debut of a young milky for this is England. Good film too
Considine's character in that is so disturbing to watch. It shows his talents, being able to bring such different characters to life.
@@patrickholt2270yes brilliant. He directed Tyrannosaur which is great and first time I saw him he played an Irishman “In America” and I was surprised to find out he wasn’t Irish. His accent was that good
It’s mad to think that skinner was once 007 James Bond lol
The Andy next to Paddy C is Rafe Spall, been in lots of things…
You need to watch the DVD with the trivia track … Amongst other tidbits, they couldn’t damage the glass in the supermarket so they pretended it was bulletproof, lol … And they do paperwork because the coppers they studied with said it wasn’t shown properly in TV and film :)
Great movie. Thanks Chrissie 😁.
If you like Paddy, you should watch "The Outsider" with Jason Bateman. It's based on Stephen King lore stuff about children being abducted and the police forensics team trying to track down the real killer. Paddy plays a major role toward the end of the 10 part series. Definitely worth the watch.
Inticer: he has one line in the finale that is the creepiest thing I've ever heard someone say...
Sergeant Angel, used the go out with Kate Blancett Galadriel from Lord of the rings. Works with Martin freeman, Bilbo from the Hobbit. Bill Neigh Victor the head vampire from underworld. Then proceeds to beat both James Bond and the Hound. All in the same film.
3:50 In the UK, 16 and 17 year olds can have an alcoholic drink in a pub if they are also having a meal and their guardian is present.
great that there's James Bond , The Equalizer ( real one ) and the Hound in it............................... among many other very well known British actors
Have you done the cornetto trilogy in order ?
So far. I still have Worlds End to watch.
Maan I need to rewatch this trilogy. Absolutely hilarious
You've seen him as the nice guy in Steve Carrell's team in the Big Short (and also as a very young man working with Shaun in the electronics store in Shaun of the Dead). 🙂
Lol I haven't seen the Big Short
'you have moustache'
'....... I know'
Skid marks will always be funny
As you like the Cornetto films so much, you might want to give some of Edgar Wright's other films a watch. I loved Baby Driver.
Yeah I've heard really good things about Baby Driver. Didn't realise that was the same director!
