Police Interceptor Reacts to Hot Fuzz
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 21 авг 2024
- After last weeks reaction to Simpson's, the comments wanted one thing... Hot Fuzz. In this video, I react to some of the best scenes from Edgar Wright's cult classic giving my thoughts as an ex-Police Officer. How realistic is it? I break down some of the clips and give my thoughts, what would I have done differently to Sgt Nicholas Angel? What a film this is. What else would you like to see me react to? Let me know in the comments!

Due to popular demand... I bring you... Hot Fuzz. What a film this is! 👮🏻♂🤣 I definitely would have been Danny... what do you think?
You deffo would be Danny 😂
omg yess!😂
@@alexfergusson3295 As far as College courses - public services/protective services is a great course than can get you ready for joining the emergency or armed services, take it from me as I am studying it as we speak. Police cadets is another tip. In terms of mental health better off asking at your local Police station. 👍 Good luck.
@@alexfergusson3295
Alex, many forces are now very accepting when it comes to neurodiverse individuals.
Following an aneurysm I was left with epilepsy and several other conditions. When I first joined that would have more than likely seen me medically pensioned out, but not these days. There is a lot of support and encouragement for those who have conditions such as us. You're never alone.
As @Idrees suggested, the public services course would be a great starting point.
All the very best for the future, matey 👍
Ben, can you do a video reacting to an episode of 'The Bill'
Can we give a minutes silence to the poor Captions bot that clearly can't deal with a Yorkshire accent and died shortly after this video.
Iiii spoooose
I suppose
Like the closed captions you can turn on? They honestly arent that great either way. I mean there is a WIDEEEEEE span of accents in the US from very formal to absolutely unintelligble.
Azohz
Aizpose
I Suppose
You mean west country accent?
Imagine running for 10-15 minutes into the hills and a fucking cop just terminator runs at you out of nowhere
@Hesh Hesherson Well, ya know what they say: Exception proves the rule
PC T1000 😂
If it were me I'm just going to give up right where I stand because there's no way I'm running that fucking long and considering that I weigh over 150 kg it'll save me quite a bit of troubles and hopefully they'll go easy on me
When I was a kid we went across our secondary school after hours to get to some woods, a teacher shouted from the window and we ran, unfortunately the teacher was the art teacher Mr.Pillar, who chased us without breaking a sweat and tapped you on the head said you name along with the word detention... We found out later the skinny man ran bloody marathons for fun.
@@blackcountryme well fuck, no wonder he's so bloody fast
"By the first 500 yards, your fucked" not a truer word spoken 😂😂 Kit is way to heavy to be sprinting after people who wear tracksuits 😂
It's easier if you're a cop in America. You chase them for 5 feet and then start shooting.
Well to be fair its very likely the offender wouldnt be able to sprint that kind of distance either. Unless they were like a marathon runner or soldier or something lol
@Hesh Hesherson yeah Id say absolutely not, not being morbidly obese is not the same as being in shape. Not all skinny people do cardio lol. Id best if you asked him about it hed probably tell you most criminals get winded as often or more than the cops. I used to be in the army and Id meet people there who were absolutely not morbidly obese and absolutely could not sprint full tilt for 1 mile straight. Which meant they hadnt been doing theyre cardio. Besides most people engage in the same bad dieting habits as many cops, most more so.
western standards for Police recruitment is pathetic
@@TheOffkilter
Or if it's a chav and there's an ounce of weed at the top...
I've run after a couple of purse-snatchers and that 500yd line is spot on. I lost my first one (hey, I was like 14 and the streets were thick with ice), but I caught my second one (in my prime) and let me tell you, after about three blocks it was *comedic*, he was wheezing, I was wheezing, we were both barely moving, occasionally stopping with our hands on our knees, leaning on lampposts, wheezing like geriatric steam engines. It was a truly pitiful sight towards the end.
Fun fact about Hot Fuzz: the shop was a genuine shop, and the glass display was a real one. Very expensive to replace so to avoid damaging it and having to replace it they made the powder sparks make it look like bullet proof glass. They still ended up cracking one of the panels when they ran the trolleys into it, so ho hum.
In the follow up all the pubs were real too (the names were changed for the filming), apart from the final one they're all in Letchworth town centre (The Worlds End pub is in Welwyn, the second garden city where the film starts off in). The disco is actually the local cinema (The Broadway) in real life and because the owners refused to give back the frontage from the movie still is as it was in the film. All the production vehicles were stored at night a couple of hundred metres from my back garden.
Yeah and it's immortalised the Somerfield name which were sold to
CO OP so a British supermarket that no longer exists still lives on in the movies.
"Bradfords a right Shithole!" Never a truer word spoken on the internet. 🙂
Yep, the place is an absolute dumpster fire 😂
Vote reform to get all of them out
We all know why Bradford is a shit hole
@@Spud.0 Reform/Ukip won't do f*ck, they're just a company mscerading as a political party to fund their salaries out of donor monetary support, whilst screaming racist, bigoted tropes and fear mongering to stay supported.
@@Spud.0 I'd vote Reform to get YOU out....
The reason the deli counter glass in the supermarket does not break despite all the gunfire is because those things are actually very expensive and they did not have the budget to replace one. They got permission to shoot in a real supermarket but had to pay for any damages they caused.
plus the 12 guage rounds were emptied of shot balls/pellets, to become semi-blanks.
I also like the idea that the trolley boys are using bullet proof glass for their deli counter
In the case of Nicholas Angel (Simon Pegg's character), he was an overachiever who made his colleagues look bad (including his superiors). A stark contrast to the deadbeat title character he played in Shaun of the Dead.
I've got PTSD from being a police officer Ben, I'm a student learning disability nurse now, I work in MH a lot as well. Thanks for being so open and honest. - Just a comment to make you know you aren't alone ❤
You dont have PTSD, you dont know what its really like, theres almost nothing you can experience domestically to know what it feels like, unless you served in the MET homicide squad perhaps and even then you haven't seen the real horror of war. Until you see some rough rough shit, Its like those people have "OCD" because they like things tidy and organised. Its unfair to those who suffer for some horrific emotions with serious mental health conditions.
@le petomane why are you behaving like such a prat? Leave them alone
@@christophersmith6510 No ones talking to you?
@@Le_Petomane didn't see the comment talking to you either yet you felt the need to chat utter shit
@@Le_Petomane you do know people can get PTSD from things other than war, right?
I guess the premise of Hot Fuzz revolves around an alternative interpretation of "good cop, bad cop". Never really thought about it from that angle before.
It's one of those movies I've seen several times and will definitely watch again.
Which reminds me; I actually do need to water my Peace Lily!
You mean you have never really thought about it from that angel?
"mornin' angle"
The bomb scene is one of the funniest things I've ever seen with the barely-understandable accent guy translating for the completely incomprehensible guy
The actor who played the farmer with a very broad Gloucestershire accent also played Argus Filch in the Harry Potter films.
I've seen Hot Fuzz enough times I can translate the farmer without the officer.😄 I like Shaun of the Dead more, but I love the entire Blood and Ice Cream trilogy to bits.
A friend of mine was on holiday, he came back to a broken fence panel, looked on his cctv and a guy had jumped his fence, and no word of a lie, the cop chasing him just ran right through it 😂 couldn't believe it when he showed me on his phone haha police paid to replace it
Nice of the cops to actually pay for it. My friend never got any compensation when they broke his back door breaking in to his place.
It wasn't even the right house, someone gave then the wrong info in dispatch!
My dad has recently retired from the police and he loves Hot Fuzz; I showed him this video and so much of what you said resonate with him - particularly what you said about seeing a ‘file on legs’ 😂
FOR THE GREATER GOOD 🤣 Joint best movie of all time with Shaun of the dead
Shaun of the dead is nowhere near as good as hot fuzz ffs
What about the world’s end??
@@simeontomov3433 nowhere near as good as the other two
Get your forth booster FOR THE GREATER GOOD
@@liambowbrick3917 is being angry at a virus the only thing you can do?
Another great vid Ben, thanks for letting the general public see the other side of police work and the effects on the mental health of officers. I hope that in time your depression and PTSD lessens to a degree so you can live a happier life. I have PTSD and Borderline Personality Dusorder and with counselling etc it's helped change my life. You take care buddy.
Wow, huge kudos for getting therapy for BPD, that is really rare. Which is a huge shame because as I understand therapy is effective.
@@ReallyGoodName3000 thanks for your reply,I appreciate your kind words. It took Mr nearly 30 years to get a diagnosis and receive treatment as I was told by about 40 different doctors I had depression or simply told to get over it. For many years antidepressants did help to a degree but once I saw a great psychologist,he helped me understand why my mind was acting the way it was and how to help undo what was wrong.
How have you not seen hot fuzz in the 14 years since it was released? now *that's* a crime.
I have seen it before, just not for a while! 🤣
500 yards? After a 100 yards I’d would run out of gas. I remember my last foot chase, I turned a corner and the suspect looked back at me, he had gained about 50 yards on me. He sped up and I was exhausted. The power of the radio led to his arrest.
I had the pleasure of meeting North Yorkshire's Chief Inspector many years ago, a very pleasant fellow, though not being one of his subordinates it may well have been the "smiling public face" I saw. ANYHOW, another lovely vid with you AVIN A LARF good stuff.
Another brilliant video Ben. I just wanted to say that you're an inspiration with what you're doing to promote mental health.
By the way, I've just moved to Bradford - you certainly earned your wage! Driving around here is like the Wild West 😂
Make sure you have your dash cam on
@@Aaron-188 Thanks Aaron. I've just invested in one

Jesus wept, my very first shift in Bradford was during a cross-border Op Impact "day of action".
Following a brief fail to stop round Manningham (if I remember correctly they attempted to starburst just behind a Tesco?) I soon realised how rough Brat'fud is...
We'd not been searching the car/occupants more than five minutes before we got completely surrounded by locals who made our job VERY difficult. Not many mobile phone cameras in them days, so we had Sony Handycams and digital cameras shoved in our faces.
We had to call in backup from District who basically provided us a cordon to allow us to finish searching/locking up etc. A blacked-out X5 even rolled up containing one of the perp's solicitors?! That's how fast it got round what was going on.
Must admit, I don't envy you living there, mate!!
@@residentelect That's an insane story! On your very first shift as well. How long were you based in Bradford for?
I've moved here to be closer to work in Pudsey... The things I do for the job.
@@conconwillyjohn
Apologies matey, I probably didn't explain it very well as I was online at silly-o-clock after being late off from work and unable to sleep.
I wasn't based in Bradford, I was actually a member of a different force in the Yorkshire & Humber region.
Every now and again all four forces would pool a number of their specialist resources such as Traffic, Road Crime Unit, Armed Response, Dog Section and Proactive Team etc and hit a town, city, district or county to go after high-risk offenders, people wanted on warrant, disrupt organised crime groups, proactively search for dealers, burglars and car thieves and provide a high visibility presence in the community. They're called "Impact Days".
I had plenty of wool on my back in my home force, but this was my very first experience of operating in Bradford. It could not have been more different than were I was based at the time, and that was a rough town lol
Every other vehicle seemed to have no insurance, loads of people gave false details or used a family member's name to try and deceive us, loads of young lads driving hig-end motors otherwise in accordance with a licence or actually disqualified, and so many (not all I must admit) had zero respect for the police or the law in general.
Grimsby in North East Lincolnshire is very similar.
An officer without a gun? That must give so many Americans a heart attack! 😂
We really don't. We call them mall security.
It's just fun to compare US vs UK police.
Its actually quite funny that this is a rather new development in the grand scheme of things. Strict gun laws in the Uk were implemented somewhere late 80s / early 90s.
Interestingly enough the gun crimes went down for a few years before growing higher than before those laws.
@@PresidentScrooge though it's still not anywhere near America per capita.
My point was though that not all UK officer's are armed. I live in Denmark, a relative safe country with equal or more strict gun laws, but still all police officers are armed, but in Norway they aren't, at least not until a few days ago.
I lived in the UK (Mildenhall, Suffolk) as a kid in the 70s and 80s. In the US now. When I tell people that police in the UK don't carry guns, oftentimes they don't believe me.
Superb video Ben, I chuckle every time you mention Keighley, Shipley Bradford because living here I know you're spot on with your observations 😂😂
Lol I just posted the below to another commenter who lives in Bradford. I'm sure there are some decent places to live in/around the area, but unfortunately I only know the "less desirable" neighbourhoods 😬

@@residentelect I bet I know the ethnicity of the suspects but we aren’t allowed to say!
This is definitely your best video Ben! Being a resident of Keighley it’s always interesting to listen to your stories😂
"I just see overtime and a file on legs" 🤣
Ben 'Bradford is a right s**t hole!' I can't see you working for the tourist industry in Yorkshire anytime soon! 😂
I live in york . I'm sure it is the york tourism slogan
Yea but he is true.
I would love to have my car commandeered, not that I would be of any use.
In the words of Chief Wiggum (Simpsons) "I'd rather let a thousand guilty men go free, rather than chase them".
"We are doing a Hommage on William Shakespeare..."
"I prosecute on that!"
Brilliant
Love hot fuzz even down to the accuracy of the cake fines! I’ve seen it so many times that I can watch it on silent and know every line.
This needed to be longer! You're such a down to earth guy 😊 loving this channel x
A friend of mine is a retired police officer. We went to Wells (Sandford) and toured some of the shooting locations, found the layby in the decapitation scene & my mate posed by the 'Welcome to Wells' sign with his warrant card. Pegg's signed flak jacket is on the wall of a pub. Fun trivia: the mad santa who stabs Pegg in the hand is Lord of the Rings director, Peter Jackson. Kate Blanchett is unrecognisable in the forensic kit but plays Pegg's ex. She went on to play Galadriel in LOTR. Martin Freeman of course, was Bilbo in the Hobbit. They wanted someone like ' Tim Dalton' for the main villain and as shooting approached someone apparently suggested asking him...and he said yes:).
YES BEN BEEN WAITING SO LONG FOR THIS!!!!!!
Bald guy in the supermarket , was the hound on Game of Thrones . The solicitor in the traffic stop was frank gallagher in Shamless :D
Om the GoT theme… don’t forget Walder Frey… ;-)
One of the best movies of the 21st century! So glad you have done this 😂😂
“I’d probably just take a beating from him and play dead”. Just laughing too hard over that.
11:36 “Like his mum had an affair with Mr. Ed” This just killed me…brilliant 😂
I’m the film his Mum and sister were the same person!
I have a mate who was an inspector until very recently. He's always said there are a lot of insider police jokes in that film. Sandford?
It is true that many of the jokes in the movie were taken from the stories the filmmakers heard about real events and stories concerning police, such as Nick Angel not being able to understand the local farmer but his colleagues understanding it fine.
Sanford is a inside joke from interviews
Came for the Hot Fuzz, stayed for the Keighley references. 😅
Ex Holy Family School teacher, now in NZ.
I'm a simple man... I see Ben's uploads and I like.
Another great vid. Our Ben is a great insight to the person behind the uniform. They are not all bad. I'd still keep my wits about me though, but I would always be respectful at the same time. I've seen coppers in real life, that wouldn't come close to the Hot Fuzz guys. I've got a pretty good 'winging it' radar. Respect is earned, not given 👍
As someone from Wakefield, this is the first time I’ve heard someone talk about and from round here who’s class and genuine
0:35 Well ... if the Chief Inspector "can make people disappear" ... he can also "make test results appear".
This guy is awesome!! Doesn't take himself too seriously.He should be in the next movie.
Thanks Ben, for again a hilarious video, i want more of this.
I live down South now but I used to live in Baildon; so seeing you mention Shipley, Keighley and Bradford brings back all sorts of memories.
I've just been recommended this video. I love Hot Fuzz and this take on it was both fun and fascinating!!! Thank you!
Outstanding reaction, just wish it was longer
“I’ve never fired my gun up in the air. 1- cause I don’t have a gun & 2- I’ve never had a reason too “ and most importantly for anyone watching… “WHAT GOES UP MUST COME DOWN”. You’ve a real risk of showering a load of bullets up in the air only to get three lodged in your brain once gravity takes over.
Supermarkets are good for action scenes because they have lots of explodable gubbins to fill the screen. You can crash through a shelf unit and send boxes flying everywhere, or shoot down a drinks aisle and thr screen is erupting with glass and colourful fluid in blast waves.
Just want to say Ben you are a great officer and glad to see you on YT, loved watching you on Interceptors and good luck with everything :)
cheers, from a random RUclipsr from the North
Oh, interesting, so Ben was an officer who appeared on a show in the UK called Interceptors? This is the first video I've seen of his, so I'm new to it all. The video was a lot of fun and Ben is very likable.
Cheers, from the Northern US.
At least if they’re bringing live handgrenades into the station they’re not bringing them into A&E in their rectum.
Weird seeing one of these videos and seeing a fellow Yorkshireman describing places I've lived in 😅 certainly can say that kinda crap happens all the time up there
My old man, this is going back way before I was born. He was I'm the woods with my uncle and a few mates then found an unexploded world war 2 era shell. Long story short, they were throwing it back and forth until my Nan said, "Take that to the police station immediately! My Dad drops it on the desk, and the constable on duty is panicking, trying to get the bomb squad down. Ended up in the local papers at the time.
For those wondering, yes, you can still find the article it's in the Bucks Free Press. Have a look through their archives.
Cobra's not the only film with a cool supermarket action sequence. In FX2: The Deadly Art of Illusion, the main character is trapped by the baddie in a supermarket. Being a movie special effects expert, he's able to use things he finds on the shelves to improvise traps.
The ding made me laugh xD - Great video - its you that made me want to be a police constable and as of a few months ago I applied :)
Great reactions! Wish it was longer but really enjoyable! 👍😎
I always wondered If police could commandere a car belonging to a member of the general public. In the event you do have to do this. What are the regulations around it? Can you drive it like an emergency vehicle? What happens in the event of damage? Does the owner just have to stand there like a wally and wait for you to bring their motor back? 🤣🤣🤣🤣great video as always Ben 👌
Any damage would be for the police to cover so guess you would need permission from senior officer and owner.
As myself trying to be a cop, i do find it interesting how you do so, sir.
Very interesting perspective you have, and I do enjoy Hot Fuzz.
the "spicy meat-a-balls" sent me
Brilliant! I loved this! So honest about the mundane and the absurd aspects of police work. So refreshing! :)
7:02 because the bullet has to come back down eventually and they can be quite dangerous
"Id prosecute on that"
Good man xD
6:31 - Being only 26, I still very barely remember the police cars in the West Country being the classic "jam sandwich" :)
Great stuff mate enjoy your channel 👍🏻 should do more on stuff like this for sure . Good luck with the channel
I live in Bradford and he is absolutely right about the place!!
"Bradford's a right shithole.."
I grew up near the airport, yeah it absolutely is mate
By 'eck, Mother, is tha' from Yorkshire, tha' knows? Being a soft Southern s**** 'oo speaks the King's English, I needed the captions.
Only just found this, but i'd love to see your thoughts on Terry Pratchett's Guards series of books from his Discworld novels, and his viewpoints on policing that spring up from them!
There is no way this is the first time he has saw it
I remember watching Ben on TV ages ago glad I found the channel
I have a question, are all British police governed by the same agency? Because as an American it seems weird to me that the London Metro Police can transfer an officer to some department in the country.
That said, if that is the case, as a former American cop, I am a little envious, because having a central agency that handled all the hiring, firing, and payroll for all police officers, at least for the state, would solve a lot of huge social issues with American policing, where some of our bad officers can simply drift from department to department, with little accountability.
I live in Manchester and someone put a ww2 bomb out with the bins last week. Bomb squad were called and it was just all nuts. People have some weird shit knocking about
Great film and great video!
Another brilliant episode Ben, will have to dig out Hot Fuzz to watch again.
That kid in purple hadnt done anything wrong til he left the store
0:40 oh he has the qualifications. He has ALL the qualifications, he just doesn't want to change what he does...
Gotta do Naked Gun films with Frank Drebin (Leslie Nielsen)
7:57 Had me rolling!
I'm a retired teacher. We had a PCSO attached to the school, so I take my form into assembly and the Headmaster (we went to school together, known him years.) introduces the PCSO as PC Nicholas Angel honest that was his name. And I'm grinning manically and the head is giving me the death stare. Then the PC does his talk and gets to the end of his presentation and I know what's coming and the Head knows whats coming and he's glaring at me again and the PC goes: 'Any questions.' I just couldn't keep a straight face.
And the rest of the staff after were like 'What was that all about with you and the head.' And I tried to explain and none of them had seen the film.
Keighley! My uni housemate (Chris Dunn, artist?) is from there. He showed us around the area, it was…..lovely. Yep.
Anyway, great video! You’re a natural in this format!
"Bradford's a right shit hole" Couldn't agree more. Best people are from Harrogate ;)
We are doing a homage to Romeo and Juliet
😑 I would prosecute on that - Had me rolling
I meant to Subscribe after your Leeds v Millwall vlogs and have now.
A fascinating insight into a great comedy.
You have found a niche. Good Luck :)
I really wanted to see ben go “naaarrppp” 😂😂😂😂
@@BrotherChad yes , yes it is
Thoroughly enjoyable reaction, Ben. Thank you.
That was all filmed in wells somerset where I live
I'm American with - I feel - a fairly decent ear for accents. But, damn. This fella made me rewind a few times. That's some thick-ass Northerner speech...
Love it!
Trust me it's not that thick, I worked with the American marines and the poor loves looked at me like I was an alien!
I’m from a bit farther up North and I have a couple of Southern friends who still from time to time struggle with my accent.
The best part is that even the close caption was confused by quite a few things that were said lol
If you think that's bad, the Geordie accent is even worse. I once spoke to an English guy who used to be in the military. He said a Geordie was transferred to his unit and it took them 3 months before they could figure out what he was saying.😅
I brought 3 towns to a standstill once when I mistook a rock for a WW2 German bomb.........ahh those were the days!😆
Great reaction officer!

I nearly spit out my drink the moment he mentioned Mr. Ed. 🤣
You are definitely right about Bradford

The white Vauxhalls with the red stripe were called Jam Sandwiches. But I do love the Battenburgs.
Michael as you referenced as Mr head is played by Rory McCann who was the hound in game of thrones.
A question if there are any more answering question videos (I love them). What is the most common reason or reasons for people not making it through the police selection process or training?
It can’t be for being to fat can it.
