Hot Fuzz had been on a regular watch list for me since it was released. It requires multiple views to catch new stuff every time. So glad you two enjoyed it!
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 the beginning to the end. It makes perfect sense when you realize who directed it. Edgar Wright is SO GOOD.
Same here, it feels like nearly every shot or piece of dialogue has some sort of subtle inside joke. It's just such a comfy comedy that almost feels like having a good laugh with friends.
Cultural background: In the 90's, Britain made it illegal (or harder, in case of hunting rifles) to own guns. It's _heavily_ implied Sandford funneled a whole lot of hand-ins to that shed, and the Watch picked whatever guns looked cool for themselves, without ever practicing much. Which is why they all aim like A-Team villans.
The 2 characters on the front desk are played by Bill Bailey - one's always reading an Iain M Banks book (sci-fi) and the other is always reading an Iain Banks book (non sci-fi). The same author, but uses 2 different names for different genres, for anyone who doesn't know.
The amount of times I've seen this movie and still learning new things about it haha. I knew the actor but wasn't aware of the 2 different books and being by the same author lol
@@vandalfinnicus1507 Yup wish we had a few more Culture novels. Had the chance to meet him a few times. Really nice guy and a great writer gone too soon.
this cast is one of the best british casts ever put together. so many of them only now like Paddy Considine and Olivia Coleman are getting their props. the cameo list is amazing also, and yes thats Cate Blanchete at the ex in the crime scene.
The Equaliser and James Bond on the NWA......also the hedgehog escapes unhurt....(.in real life, swans sometimes escape from the Bishops Palace in Wells where this was filmed. They also ring a bell to get fed )
You occasionally see various UK police force Twitter accounts referencing this movie whenever they have to rescue a Swan that's wandered onto a motorway or similar situation.
What I love, is Danny is not a dummy.. He wasn't being a 'bad police officer' because he was 'bad', he just wasn't good because he had never been taught.. The moment Angel comes in, Danny was a sponge.. Soaked in all the knowledge he had been denied.. Words Angel used, Procedures Angel used, The experiences Angel had shared with him.. He listened, learned, and then used back. And of course, in comedic fashion. And the fact that everything that he listed throughout the entire movie, "Have you done this, No, have you done that, No".. between the two of them, all of them get checked off the list. Also, just as an FYI, the "running through the back garden fence" scene was a reference to Shawn of the Dead.
I've watched this movie maybe nine times and it only just clicked that the ginger boy in the finale says his name is "Aaron A Aaronson", calling back to when the Andy's were complaining about having to call everyone in the local phone book. Every single punchline in this movie has a setup, even if it comes 90 minutes in advance. Perfect film!
One thing I just caught is Nicholas saying "You can't just make people disappear!" And Bill Nighy's character saying "Yes I can, I'm the Chief" It tells you who the big bad is in the first few minutes
“Everyone and their mums is packing around here” “Oh really, like who?” “Farmers” “Who else?” “Farmer’s mums” Still get a wry chuckle on the nth time of watching. Such a great script.
@@ScorpioSW i think he was more of a tragic deeply flawed protagonist to me it was the most interesting of the three movies i mean i love all 3 but worlds end seems to get better after multiple viewings
This film solidified Edgar Wright as my favorite director. He truly understands that film is an audio AND visual medium. The cinematography and editing add to the storytelling and comedy as much as the dialogue does. Never been disappointed in anything he's made, and all of his works deserve repeat viewings.
Nikki spotted things I never noticed like the new actors on the poster near the finale and a few others. But you guys will spot things you missed when you watch it again. And again. For example, almost all the dialog in the second half is a callback to dialog in the first half. This movie is amazing. Might be the most well put together film I've ever seen. Glad you guys enjoyed it as much as I did. I wonder if you'll also end up quoting it as much as I did. (I fully expect your answer to that to be, "Yarrrp".)
I have watched this a bunch of times as well as checking out a lot of reactions and this was the first time I caught the ginger kids name callback to the Andys going through the phone book bit.
The Santa who stabbed Simon Pegg is played by Peter Jackson, director of the LOTR movies, and Lurch is played by the Hound. I also forgot Paddy Considine was in this.
I personally believe this is one of the best scripts/screenplays ever written. It’s just so good and so well executed, it’s really hard to even think of anything to compare it to. As far as the cast being in so many other big movies or shows, well there’s only so many British character actors around so they tend to show up everywhere. :p
@@ItsZareh The Social Network is insane, it's a movie I can endless reach and I barely care about the plot, it's just so satisfying to see that level of filmmaking
someone has already mentioned "hidden" hollywood actors and directors that have cameos but the 3 judges are also cameos one of the women is Simon Peggs mother the other lady is Edgar Wright's mother and the man is Edgar Wrights high school english teacher. the location for Sandford is Edgar Wrights home town aswell.
The special-edition DVD has a ton of extras (and multiple commentaries). Pegg and Wright have a whiteboard with multiple pages that they go through, explaining how the solution that Angel first comes up with was very thought out, makes complete sense, and would normally be the motive/solution in another mystery film. A similar amount of planning was put into the real solution - they killed anyone that would make them lose the Village of the Year contest.
54:06 hearing you say all that makes me and I’m sure millions out there feel so much joy to see another two get introduced to such gold. This was a instant favorite for me the day I saw it back when it came out. And I’ve probably seen it over 30 times since yet it never gets old.
I highly recommend the movie Attack the Block. Nick Frost is also in it and Edgar Wright was co-producer. It was also a breakthrough role for John Boyega.
I define perfect movies as a film you can watch repeatedly and it never gets old. There are not very many perfect movies in my book but this is one of them.
You'll also enjoy Pegg & Frost in their sci-fi written film, "Paul", too, by the way, N&S - Don't miss out on that one with yet another good chosen cast . . .
I've seen this movie at least 10 times. I watched it again with Nikki & Steven on their live channel. And I watched again when they posted this tonight. It NEVER gets old!
I've loved this movie for years (after already loving Shawn of the Dead). We have the dvd and watch it frequently. The more I watch it, the more I realize this is one of the most perfect comedy/action movies ever made. Not a scene or line is wasted. Absolute brilliance. Loved enjoying it again with you guys!
Yes, he was briefly the Minister for Magic in Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince. He read out Dumbledore’s will to Harry. So many recognisable faces in this film.
And not so recognizable faces: The Santa Clause stabbing him is Peter Jackson, the masked forensic investigator ex-girlfriend at the crime scene is Cate Blanchett and the Priest is the French villian from Indiana Jones 1: Raiders of the Lost Ark. :D
This movie saved my sanity. Years of depression and manic episodes, this was a movie I could watch to keep my spirits buoyed. And the Academy Award and nominated actors in this is impressive!
This is probably one of the best action comedies I've ever watched. Mile a minute jokes, but they were clever. And a wonderful plot, amazing cinematography, great sound design. And the script is so tight and concise, there is hardly a wasted moment in the movie. I love the Monty Python movies and the Cornetto trilogy and this is my favorite of them all! Also Simon Skinner is played by Sir Timothy Dalton, James Bond for The Living Daylights and License to Kill.
The Cornetto Trilogy is a modern masterpiece in terms of script writing/screenplay alone, the timing of jokes are constant but gives you time to appreciate pretty much every single one of them.
I have watched this movie SOOO many times, plus an uncountable amount of reactors watching it as well. Worth it every time. To the point that I was sure you guys had already reacted to this years ago, but no matter. Every rewatch of Hot Fuzz is time well spent. Never gets old.
You catch something new with each viewing! My newest detail, Skinner stabbed by the church point tells me he was the one that killed messenger with the church spike.
Edgar Wright is a god damned genius when it comes to editing and cinematography. The guy just has this style that works so well. And Nick and Simon are unstoppable together. This cast is stacked. The humor is awesome, and some how this still manages to feel like real life in a small town.
My favourite trivia about this all-timer movie: - Father Christmas was played by Peter L. Jackson - Janine was played by Cate Blanchett - The Doctor describes the entire plot of the movie in his dialogue during the scene where Simon Pegg plays the shooting game at the fair. Edgar Wright also did this in Shaun of the Dead where Ed (played by Nick Frost) describes the entire plot of that film in converstaion with Shaun (Pegg) in an early scene. - Timothy Dalton spikes the lense in the pub and Edgar Wright fiound it so funny he addied a cash register sound effect in the edit. - The NWA features some legendary actors for instance Paul Freeman (the reverend) you may recognise as the main villain from Raiders of the Lost Ark, Edward Woodward (the head of the NWA) is the lead in the Wicker Man. - When Jim Broadbent's character is introducing Angel to the rest of the Sandford Police Service, if you freeze frame it on Kevin Eldon his head is in the middle of a spider diagram that states all his character's negative traits. This film is just infinitely rewatchable and you can catch so many little easter eggs and jokes on repeat viewings. Also, I'm so stoked to see Paddy Considine start getting some recognition. Man's been one of the finest actors in the world since the early 2000's. Check out Dead Man's Shoes and The Journeyman for other incredible performances from him.
Fun Fact: One of the Cartwright police brothers was played by Paddy Considine, our dear and beloved King of the Seven Kingdoms, Viserys Targaryen in House of the Dragon. Also Fun Fact: The big bald dude who only says the word 'Yarp" was played by Rory McCann, or you might know him as - 'The Hound' Ser Sandor Clegane from Game of Thrones.
I won't ever forget my mom recommended this movie to me. It was really the first time we discussed any sort of films together. I think it's time for a rewatch myself!
Fast unpredictable editing, hidden mystery antagonist/s in full dark hood running round a town killing people with some crazy gore. How are you surprised this guy wet himself as a kid?
The truly brilliant thing about this movie is that every line has a payoff later on in the movie. Watch it again and I can all bar guarantee that you'll pick up stuff that you missed the first time
you cant just make people disappear, yes i can im the chief inspector. Sandford's chief inspector has been making people disappear everyone and their MUMS is packing around here, farmers and farmers mums aka the first two people he takes out upon returning you arrested the whole village? not exactly, Angel proceeds to arrest almost all the characters we meet ever jumped through the air firing two guns, shot your gun in the air and gone AAARGH? been in a high speed chase while shooting a gun, etc etc etc, all happens later. at the fair Angel takes out all the figures and then danny shoots the doctor in the foot, same thing happens in the town square shootout. people have accidents all the time - two main antagonists get taken out by accidents. Aaron. A. Aaronson. Angel's pistol smashes the miniature somerfield shop window commune Communae Communitatus, their chant is because they're always in radio contact throughout the film all the last names that reference their character.
there are 1400 comments so I'm not reading them all... if someone hasn't put it yet, the detail of his phone signal getting lower as he gets further into the countryside is pure genius. I think Edgar Wright used that detail again in Worlds End. Imagine how great HIS version of Ant Man would have been!
One of my top 5 movies. I love how you rewatch it you notice more little things, like how every main bad guy was taken out by real accidents when they were using fake ones to hide the murders.
It's funny how nowadays all those actors are so recognisable: Martin "Bilbo" Freeman, Rory "Hound" McCann, Paddy "Viserys" Considine, etc. but for many Hot Fuzz was THE movie that put them on the film map for non-British audiences. When their respective big movies/shows came afterwards many people's reaction was "oh, it's that guy from Hot Fuzz!". Now it's always funny to see experienced reactors discovering this movie for the first time and beaing repeatedly shocked seeing those legendary actors in such silly roles.
Such a great movie! I never realized that was the actor who played The Hound either! If you’d like another British movie with a lot of action, and fast paced editing I’d recommend watching Snatch if you haven’t seen it yet.
It was so great to watch you two react to this absolute gem of a movie. Being from the part of England where this was set the humour is so relatable (such as the incomprehensible speech). Seeing awesome humans from elsewhere in the world fall in love with movies like this is the best feeling. If you ever happen to seek out the tv show Spaced with Simon Pegg, Nick Frost and director Edgar Wright (From 1998-99) you would love it. Packed with movie references. There's even an episode that's Resident Evil inspired due to Simon Pegg's character constantly playing it. A foreshadowing to Shaun of the Dead a few years down the line. Keep it up Nikki and Steven!
Glad you both liked this as much as you did and so happy how many actors you noticed. Most people don't catch half as many as you both did. I love everything with Simon Pegg and Nick Frost. May not be quite on Hott Fuzz or Shaun of the Dead level but World's End and also Paul are both Pegg and Frost movies that could be poll worthy in the future.
Edgar Wright is a master of visual comedy. So many of the jokes are conveyed visually through background items or slick editing. Also, i'm sure many people have said this before, but it's absolutely worth watching this film a few times. So many of the lines/jokes/comments/items in the background etc are referencing or directly forshadowing events yet to come later in the film. It's only after you've watched it 3 or 4 times does the true genius of the script become fully apparent.
First time I saw this it was with friends who had seen it before. Before the reveal I was convinced it was The Living Statue, because it would’ve been out of nowhere. When Angel found his body among the NWA’s victims, I shouted “NO!” like Darth Vader in Revenge of the Sith Edit: I’m not the only one!!!
I saw his one 8 times in theatres, absolutely fell in love, but every single showing at least 4 ppl would walk out before the "Greater Good" reveal 😂😂😂
The awesome transitions with the quick editing style is a recurring thing in the trilogy, along with the fence jumping. I hope you guys watch the third one because it's just as great and sooo underrated.
Every single line of dialogue foreshadows something in the movie. The details are so over the top. The music on the radio whenever Timothy Dalton showed up always call back to the 'accidents'. Dire Straits with 'a love stricken Romeo' and later with 'I am the God of Hellfire, and I bring you fire'.
He co-wrote it and he wrote and directed Tyrannosaur, another tough movie that won a slew of awards, and that provided Olivia Colman her dramatic breakthrough (right after they made this film).
All of the members of the NWA ( yes, that was intentional) are played by British character actors. At the time, Timothy Dalton (a former James Bond) was basically retired, but they really wanted him to play Simon Skinner. He was sent the script, loved it, and told his agent he would do it.
@@SuddenRealthere was something about Dalton loving this shoot so much, he stayed on set long after his scenes were done because he loved the cameraderie
I've seen this film a few dozen times. It's certainly one of my favorite comedies, and the one thing that makes me laugh the hardest now is the look of absolute horror on Simon Pegg's face at the end of the Romeo & Juliet play.
This movie so good. the lines that Danny said is lines for love interest, they just gave them to Danny, so it a bromance also. So many action movies reference in this movie it beautiful.
Great reaction!!! One of my favorite movies in the past 20 yrs , I always forget about it which is good cause when i watch it it's like seeing an old friend.
There are so many easter eggs and quick things crammed into the movie hiding as jokes. I still find new bits I never realized before. It took me like 12 or so viewings before I finally figured out the front desk clerk was 2 different guys, even though there's a scene that shows them both at the same time.
Whooo!!!! One of my favorite movies of all time. I rewatch this all the time.. It covers so many genres. Buddy cop film, drama, comedy, action, horror, suspense thriller... Favorite Edgar Wright film for me. I use "Yarp" all the time.
The desk Sargent is called Bill Bailey who is a british commedian, Simon Skinner is played by Timothy Dalton who played 007 in several films. Simon Pegg and Nick frost wrote and starred in a sitcom called Spaced which pre dates the films.
The actor who was monitoring the cctv and the one who got blown up by the sea mine is Edward Woodward,who played the original Equalizer tv series in the 80s
the writing and callbacks in this film are so good. the two ringleaders of the bad guys get taken out by exactly the sort of ridiculous accident they were pretending happened to everyone else. at the fair, Angel takes out all the little figures and then Danny shoots the doctor in the leg, same as in the town square. Angel using a PEACE lilly as a weapon, you cant just make people disappear, "yes i can I'm the chief inspector" same as the Chief in sandford making people disappear, all the last names that tie to the characters, Blower (talks a lot), Tiller, (grows plants) Merchant (owns a big supermarket), Messenger (writes for the paper), Angel (saves the day), Skinner (murders folk), Porter(runs a pub) Walker (Saxon's handler) Armstrong (is massive and strong)
Yes, there’s 3 movies in the trilogy, but, there is an other movie filled in America featuring Simon Pegg and his partner titled “Dave”. I would highly recommend a future review ‼️😂😂😂😂😂
35:22 - There is a deleted scene/plot thread involving the redheaded kid who is the leader of the hoodie gang turning out to be Tom Weaver's grandson Gabriel - the graffiti of the letter 'G' is a holdover from that plot thread - and that Angel realises it is him, but keeps his secret from his grandfather. It ultimately makes the fact that they're planning to merc a bunch of children even grimmer, which I suspect is why it was cut, but it also plays into Angel's character arc of moving away from being so by-the-book Lawful Good he can't maintain a relationship to having the self awareness to not grass up some kid over a relatively minor infraction, especially given what happened to the kids from the pub.
52:28 Cate Blanchett (Galadriël) is the lady in the hazmat suit and mask in the crime scene at the beginning of the movie. They kept joking about getting an Oscar winner into the movie but not show their face. Cate was in because she loved Shaun Of The Dead and donated her pay to charity.
In the extras there's a section before the model village fight scene where behind the scenes Simon Pegg is so excited, he says "I can't believe I'm about to fight James Bond" xD
Yes on spotting Danny putting the notebook in that pocket - and it calls back to Nicholas saying it had 'saved his skin more often than he could count' . Wells, now it's more often than he could count +1 :P
Great Reaction and Thanks for giving us a longer version. Besides all the other Great Actoes the Police Woman was Oscar Winner: Olivia Colman and The Supermarket Manager was a "James Bond"=Timothy Dalton :)
A detail most Americans would miss is the security code for the armoury was 999, which is the British emergency number, where you use 911. There was also a TV series "Dixon of Dock Green",, IIRC, that the sargeant seemed to be channelling.
I saw this movie when it 1st came out. This was the 1st foreign film that made me laugh so much. I needed a movie like this one during the dreadful 2000s.
fair play guys to admitting to having seen shaun of the dead, many channels wouldnt and just react anyway. also forget the swans, its the geese that will fuck you up
SO many things in this movie you only notice on multiple viewings. Among them: despite all the danger he's in, Nicholas Angel doesn't kill a single person in the entire movie. They're *all* non-lethal takedowns, even when he has to shoot people it's always in the arm, shoulder, or leg. Another subtle demonstration that he's the ideal police officer.
As mentioned below, this movie is part of the Cornetto trilogy, named after the pre packaged ice cream cones they sometimes eat in the movies. With all the actors you recognized, I am surprised you did not recognize Martin Freeman (Bilbo Baggins) from The Hobbit as a London police officer. He was also in Shaun of the Dead, and appears again in the third movie World’s End. Another fun fact of the movie involves the judges at the end of the movie. The two ladies were portrayed by Simon Peg’s and Edgar Wright’s mothers for the scene. Another movie with both Simon and Nick is Paul. It is just as hilarious.

Also, just as an FYI, the "running through the back garden fence" scene was a reference to Shawn of the Dead.

But Hollywood wouldn't know a superb film if it ran them over.

So does Father Christmas that stabbed Sgt. Angel.

The special-edition DVD has a ton of extras (and multiple commentaries). Pegg and Wright have a whiteboard with multiple pages that they go through, explaining how the solution that Angel first comes up with was very thought out, makes complete sense, and would normally be the motive/solution in another mystery film. A similar amount of planning was put into the real solution - they killed anyone that would make them lose the Village of the Year contest.
The bloopers are the BEST ever, I was literally wheezing LOL
54:06 hearing you say all that makes me and I’m sure millions out there feel so much joy to see another two get introduced to such gold. This was a instant favorite for me the day I saw it back when it came out. And I’ve probably seen it over 30 times since yet it never gets old.
I highly recommend the movie Attack the Block. Nick Frost is also in it and Edgar Wright was co-producer. It was also a breakthrough role for John Boyega.
I love that film. A favourite Creature Feature.
Love that one too!
its incredibly boring tbh
It was also written and directed by Tim Messengers comedy writing and performing partner
I watched it a while back because I heard a lot of good things about it, but I just found it to be average tbh.
I define perfect movies as a film you can watch repeatedly and it never gets old. There are not very many perfect movies in my book but this is one of them.
"You want to be a big cop in a small town? Fuck off up the model village!"
Final fight takes place in the model village. I love this film.
This is one of those movies where almost everything that is set up has a payoff. Brilliant writing. You don't get a much tighter script.
You'll also enjoy Pegg & Frost in their sci-fi written film, "Paul", too, by the way, N&S - Don't miss out on that one with yet another good chosen cast . . .
I've seen this movie at least 10 times. I watched it again with Nikki & Steven on their live channel. And I watched again when they posted this tonight. It NEVER gets old!
Agree, the most rewatchable film I've ever seen.
Imo its one of a handful of perfect movies in existence.
get a life! Hollywood putting out garbage these days! this movie was terrible!
Agreed!
You’re right it’s a film I watch regularly!
If I was stuck on an island with only one movie to watch for the rest of my life, this would be it. It is endlessly rewatchable.
Yarrrp.
Ha! I had just said exactly that to another reactor's video for Hot Fuzz. No matter how many times I watch it, I always notice more hidden setups.
I've loved this movie for years (after already loving Shawn of the Dead). We have the dvd and watch it frequently. The more I watch it, the more I realize this is one of the most perfect comedy/action movies ever made. Not a scene or line is wasted. Absolute brilliance. Loved enjoying it again with you guys!
Yes, he was briefly the Minister for Magic in Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince. He read out Dumbledore’s will to Harry. So many recognisable faces in this film.
And not so recognizable faces: The Santa Clause stabbing him is Peter Jackson, the masked forensic investigator ex-girlfriend at the crime scene is Cate Blanchett and the Priest is the French villian from Indiana Jones 1: Raiders of the Lost Ark. :D
And the supermarket manager is played by Timothy Dalton, who played James Bond before Pierce Brosnan.
I love spotting all the character actors. Kate Blanchett makes a hidden cameo, the Hound! It's such an amazing cast.
Don't forget Peter Jackson played Santa stabbing Angel hand
Nikki gets all the points for being the first reactor I've seen to recognise that "it's THAT Romeo And Juliet!".
And spotting the poster in the shop window. I've seen this movie maybe 20 times and never noticed that tiny awesome detail before . :)
This movie saved my sanity. Years of depression and manic episodes, this was a movie I could watch to keep my spirits buoyed. And the Academy Award and nominated actors in this is impressive!
I grew up in the same area as Simon Pegg. This is basically a documentary about the best-kept village competition. It was serious business.
Them pulling over Martin Blower was Edgar Wright's attempt to write the shortest car chase in cinema history.
Hot Fuzz is a masterpiece
This is probably one of the best action comedies I've ever watched. Mile a minute jokes, but they were clever. And a wonderful plot, amazing cinematography, great sound design. And the script is so tight and concise, there is hardly a wasted moment in the movie. I love the Monty Python movies and the Cornetto trilogy and this is my favorite of them all! Also Simon Skinner is played by Sir Timothy Dalton, James Bond for The Living Daylights and License to Kill.
The Cornetto Trilogy is a modern masterpiece in terms of script writing/screenplay alone, the timing of jokes are constant but gives you time to appreciate pretty much every single one of them.
I have watched this movie SOOO many times, plus an uncountable amount of reactors watching it as well. Worth it every time. To the point that I was sure you guys had already reacted to this years ago, but no matter. Every rewatch of Hot Fuzz is time well spent. Never gets old.
Saaaaame!
You catch something new with each viewing! My newest detail, Skinner stabbed by the church point tells me he was the one that killed messenger with the church spike.
Oh and the Ginger kids name being the name the Andes mentioned about interviewing everyone in the phone book.
Edgar Wright is a god damned genius when it comes to editing and cinematography. The guy just has this style that works so well. And Nick and Simon are unstoppable together. This cast is stacked. The humor is awesome, and some how this still manages to feel like real life in a small town.
50:30 That's called "Chekhovs Gun". It's the principle that "if you present something to the audience it has to have a payoff".
Frost and pegg was in the scifi comedy, "paul."
Definitely worth a watch.
I haven't seen any reaction to that yet, fingers crossed
@@9876babyboy good comedy, isn't it. Good story and plenty of laughs.
I'm also surprised to not see many reactions to it. I think I've seen one.
Another brilliant movie absolutely loved it
Also Shaun of the Dead
Love Paul
My favourite trivia about this all-timer movie:
- Father Christmas was played by Peter L. Jackson
- Janine was played by Cate Blanchett
- The Doctor describes the entire plot of the movie in his dialogue during the scene where Simon Pegg plays the shooting game at the fair. Edgar Wright also did this in Shaun of the Dead where Ed (played by Nick Frost) describes the entire plot of that film in converstaion with Shaun (Pegg) in an early scene.
- Timothy Dalton spikes the lense in the pub and Edgar Wright fiound it so funny he addied a cash register sound effect in the edit.
- The NWA features some legendary actors for instance Paul Freeman (the reverend) you may recognise as the main villain from Raiders of the Lost Ark, Edward Woodward (the head of the NWA) is the lead in the Wicker Man.
- When Jim Broadbent's character is introducing Angel to the rest of the Sandford Police Service, if you freeze frame it on Kevin Eldon his head is in the middle of a spider diagram that states all his character's negative traits.
This film is just infinitely rewatchable and you can catch so many little easter eggs and jokes on repeat viewings. Also, I'm so stoked to see Paddy Considine start getting some recognition. Man's been one of the finest actors in the world since the early 2000's. Check out Dead Man's Shoes and The Journeyman for other incredible performances from him.
Fun Fact: One of the Cartwright police brothers was played by Paddy Considine, our dear and beloved King of the Seven Kingdoms, Viserys Targaryen in House of the Dragon.
Also Fun Fact: The big bald dude who only says the word 'Yarp" was played by Rory McCann, or you might know him as - 'The Hound' Ser Sandor Clegane from Game of Thrones.
Know it's obvious, but the man who cut the hedges and has the "Sea Moin!"is Walder Frey/the First Doctor/Argus Filch, David Bradley.
@@phousefilms Yeah man Walder Frey, I forgot to mention him earlier. So many memorable faces in this one.
Ooo,and the priest was also Belloq from "Raiders of the Lost Arc".
@@phousefilms he also played Ivan Ooze in the 90s power rangers movie
This is one of those movies that gets even better with rewatches; you notice more and more little bits of foreshadowing every time
The creme de la creme of British acting talent just having outrageous fun.
I won't ever forget my mom recommended this movie to me. It was really the first time we discussed any sort of films together. I think it's time for a rewatch myself!
OHHHH this is an instant UK Classic. Used to be terrified of it growing up and now it's one of my all time favs
Terrified?
@@Rensune British teeth are really scary man
Fast unpredictable editing, hidden mystery antagonist/s in full dark hood running round a town killing people with some crazy gore. How are you surprised this guy wet himself as a kid?
@@donatedpizza lmao, the hooded figures and gore were terrifying for 10 year old me
@@MrRoboto119America the School Shooting Country
The CCTV operator is Edward Woodward “The Equalizer” from the original 1980’s TV series 📺
The film is perfect from script to visuals. A true masterpiece.
probably the best film ever made in the UK; I particularly like the swan
The truly brilliant thing about this movie is that every line has a payoff later on in the movie. Watch it again and I can all bar guarantee that you'll pick up stuff that you missed the first time
you cant just make people disappear, yes i can im the chief inspector. Sandford's chief inspector has been making people disappear
everyone and their MUMS is packing around here, farmers and farmers mums aka the first two people he takes out upon returning
you arrested the whole village? not exactly, Angel proceeds to arrest almost all the characters we meet
ever jumped through the air firing two guns, shot your gun in the air and gone AAARGH? been in a high speed chase while shooting a gun, etc etc etc, all happens later.
at the fair Angel takes out all the figures and then danny shoots the doctor in the foot, same thing happens in the town square shootout.
people have accidents all the time - two main antagonists get taken out by accidents.
Aaron. A. Aaronson.
Angel's pistol smashes the miniature somerfield shop window
commune Communae Communitatus, their chant is because they're always in radio contact throughout the film
all the last names that reference their character.
there are 1400 comments so I'm not reading them all... if someone hasn't put it yet, the detail of his phone signal getting lower as he gets further into the countryside is pure genius. I think Edgar Wright used that detail again in Worlds End. Imagine how great HIS version of Ant Man would have been!
One of my top 5 movies. I love how you rewatch it you notice more little things, like how every main bad guy was taken out by real accidents when they were using fake ones to hide the murders.
It's funny how nowadays all those actors are so recognisable: Martin "Bilbo" Freeman, Rory "Hound" McCann, Paddy "Viserys" Considine, etc. but for many Hot Fuzz was THE movie that put them on the film map for non-British audiences. When their respective big movies/shows came afterwards many people's reaction was "oh, it's that guy from Hot Fuzz!".
Now it's always funny to see experienced reactors discovering this movie for the first time and beaing repeatedly shocked seeing those legendary actors in such silly roles.
Such a great movie! I never realized that was the actor who played The Hound either! If you’d like another British movie with a lot of action, and fast paced editing I’d recommend watching Snatch if you haven’t seen it yet.
I was going to recommend they watch Snatch. One of the best movies ever. This and Snatch make my movie top 10 list. 👍
It was so great to watch you two react to this absolute gem of a movie. Being from the part of England where this was set the humour is so relatable (such as the incomprehensible speech). Seeing awesome humans from elsewhere in the world fall in love with movies like this is the best feeling. If you ever happen to seek out the tv show Spaced with Simon Pegg, Nick Frost and director Edgar Wright (From 1998-99) you would love it. Packed with movie references. There's even an episode that's Resident Evil inspired due to Simon Pegg's character constantly playing it. A foreshadowing to Shaun of the Dead a few years down the line. Keep it up Nikki and Steven!
Glad you both liked this as much as you did and so happy how many actors you noticed. Most people don't catch half as many as you both did. I love everything with Simon Pegg and Nick Frost. May not be quite on Hott Fuzz or Shaun of the Dead level but World's End and also Paul are both Pegg and Frost movies that could be poll worthy in the future.
Edgar Wright is a master of visual comedy. So many of the jokes are conveyed visually through background items or slick editing. Also, i'm sure many people have said this before, but it's absolutely worth watching this film a few times. So many of the lines/jokes/comments/items in the background etc are referencing or directly forshadowing events yet to come later in the film. It's only after you've watched it 3 or 4 times does the true genius of the script become fully apparent.
First time I saw this it was with friends who had seen it before. Before the reveal I was convinced it was The Living Statue, because it would’ve been out of nowhere. When Angel found his body among the NWA’s victims, I shouted “NO!” like Darth Vader in Revenge of the Sith
Edit: I’m not the only one!!!
I saw his one 8 times in theatres, absolutely fell in love, but every single showing at least 4 ppl would walk out before the "Greater Good" reveal 😂😂😂
Great movie that gets better and better with every rewatch. There's just so many references in it.
Such An Underated Movie With An Outstanding Cast .
Also Its A Criminal Offence To Harm A Swan In Any Way As They Are A Protected Species .
The awesome transitions with the quick editing style is a recurring thing in the trilogy, along with the fence jumping. I hope you guys watch the third one because it's just as great and sooo underrated.
Every single line of dialogue foreshadows something in the movie.
The details are so over the top. The music on the radio whenever Timothy Dalton showed up always call back to the 'accidents'. Dire Straits with 'a love stricken Romeo' and later with 'I am the God of Hellfire, and I bring you fire'.
The guy that plays Viserys also stars in a really good movie called Dead Man's Shoes. Its a revenge movie that really hits in the feels.
He co-wrote it and he wrote and directed Tyrannosaur, another tough movie that won a slew of awards, and that provided Olivia Colman her dramatic breakthrough (right after they made this film).
Yeah - Dead Man's Shoes is one of my favourite movies. Considine is incredible.
It's Toby Kebbell's movie debut, too, I believe.
All of the members of the NWA ( yes, that was intentional) are played by British character actors. At the time, Timothy Dalton (a former James Bond) was basically retired, but they really wanted him to play Simon Skinner. He was sent the script, loved it, and told his agent he would do it.
The priest is Belloq from "Raiders of the Lost Arc".
Correction: they wanted someone like Timothy Dalton to play Simon Skinner until someone asked why not Timothy Dalton himself? The rest was history.
@@SuddenRealthere was something about Dalton loving this shoot so much, he stayed on set long after his scenes were done because he loved the cameraderie
@@agentsculder2451 God bless him. He was funny as hell
I've seen this film a few dozen times. It's certainly one of my favorite comedies, and the one thing that makes me laugh the hardest now is the look of absolute horror on Simon Pegg's face at the end of the Romeo & Juliet play.
Glad you loved this one. A fave of mine and filmed in the small city of Wells near where I live, so has a special place in my heart.
This movie so good. the lines that Danny said is lines for love interest, they just gave them to Danny, so it a bromance also. So many action movies reference in this movie it beautiful.
Great reaction!!! One of my favorite movies in the past 20 yrs , I always forget about it which is good cause when i watch it it's like seeing an old friend.
There are so many easter eggs and quick things crammed into the movie hiding as jokes. I still find new bits I never realized before. It took me like 12 or so viewings before I finally figured out the front desk clerk was 2 different guys, even though there's a scene that shows them both at the same time.
2 Different characters, 1 actor, comedian Bill Bayley.
Whooo!!!! One of my favorite movies of all time. I rewatch this all the time.. It covers so many genres. Buddy cop film, drama, comedy, action, horror, suspense thriller... Favorite Edgar Wright film for me. I use "Yarp" all the time.
Viserys before the iron throne was in much better health
I don’t know how but I never realised that was him
The desk Sargent is called Bill Bailey who is a british commedian, Simon Skinner is played by Timothy Dalton who played 007 in several films. Simon Pegg and Nick frost wrote and starred in a sitcom called Spaced which pre dates the films.
Thank you. Someone finally recognizes Baz Luhrmann's Romeo + Juliet. And more importantly, values it.
The actor who was monitoring the cctv and the one who got blown up by the sea mine is Edward Woodward,who played the original Equalizer tv series in the 80s
the writing and callbacks in this film are so good. the two ringleaders of the bad guys get taken out by exactly the sort of ridiculous accident they were pretending happened to everyone else. at the fair, Angel takes out all the little figures and then Danny shoots the doctor in the leg, same as in the town square. Angel using a PEACE lilly as a weapon, you cant just make people disappear, "yes i can I'm the chief inspector" same as the Chief in sandford making people disappear, all the last names that tie to the characters, Blower (talks a lot), Tiller, (grows plants) Merchant (owns a big supermarket), Messenger (writes for the paper), Angel (saves the day), Skinner (murders folk), Porter(runs a pub) Walker (Saxon's handler) Armstrong (is massive and strong)
Yes, there’s 3 movies in the trilogy, but, there is an other movie filled in America featuring Simon Pegg and his partner titled “Dave”. I would highly recommend a future review ‼️😂😂😂😂😂
For me this is one of the best action films ever made, it’s just brilliant. The best way to parody a genre is to do it perfectly.
35:22 - There is a deleted scene/plot thread involving the redheaded kid who is the leader of the hoodie gang turning out to be Tom Weaver's grandson Gabriel - the graffiti of the letter 'G' is a holdover from that plot thread - and that Angel realises it is him, but keeps his secret from his grandfather. It ultimately makes the fact that they're planning to merc a bunch of children even grimmer, which I suspect is why it was cut, but it also plays into Angel's character arc of moving away from being so by-the-book Lawful Good he can't maintain a relationship to having the self awareness to not grass up some kid over a relatively minor infraction, especially given what happened to the kids from the pub.
Seriously, Nikki's enthusiasm makes everything so much better. I feel like she is the embodiment of the voice in my head.
You need to watch Hot Fuzz at least twice. Every line is a foreshadow or a payoff. Expert craftmanship.
You will never not be able to repeat "the greater good" whenever you hear it from now on.
Our plumber's business (USA) is called "The Greater Good", I'm in bits whenever they come round. 🤣
52:28 Cate Blanchett (Galadriël) is the lady in the hazmat suit and mask in the crime scene at the beginning of the movie.
They kept joking about getting an Oscar winner into the movie but not show their face. Cate was in because she loved Shaun Of The Dead and donated her pay to charity.
This is my favorite movie and I’m so glad you finally watched it! It’s incredibly rewatchable as well.
Timothy Dalton is the guy that falls on the spire of a Cathedral at the end...he's a former James Bond and one of my faves 👌🏼
The deleted scenes and outtakes are amazing. This movie has some of the best bonus features ❤
In the extras there's a section before the model village fight scene where behind the scenes Simon Pegg is so excited, he says "I can't believe I'm about to fight James Bond" xD
My ex forced me to watch this movie at gunpoint and I'm SO glad she did. For the greater good!
She held a gun in each hand presumably? ;)
Yes on spotting Danny putting the notebook in that pocket - and it calls back to Nicholas saying it had 'saved his skin more often than he could count' . Wells, now it's more often than he could count +1 :P
Great Reaction and Thanks for giving us a longer version.
Besides all the other Great Actoes the Police Woman was Oscar Winner: Olivia Colman and The Supermarket Manager was a "James Bond"=Timothy Dalton :)
A detail most Americans would miss is the security code for the armoury was 999, which is the British emergency number, where you use 911.
There was also a TV series "Dixon of Dock Green",, IIRC, that the sargeant seemed to be channelling.
I saw this movie when it 1st came out. This was the 1st foreign film that made me laugh so much. I needed a movie like this one during the dreadful 2000s.
For me foreign movies are those outside of the english language market.
fair play guys to admitting to having seen shaun of the dead, many channels wouldnt and just react anyway. also forget the swans, its the geese that will fuck you up
Nonsense. I heard a swan can break a man's arm, or blow up his house.
Hot Fuzz is one of those movies you can watch over and over and laugh just as hard as the first time you saw it!
SO many things in this movie you only notice on multiple viewings. Among them: despite all the danger he's in, Nicholas Angel doesn't kill a single person in the entire movie. They're *all* non-lethal takedowns, even when he has to shoot people it's always in the arm, shoulder, or leg. Another subtle demonstration that he's the ideal police officer.
As mentioned below, this movie is part of the Cornetto trilogy, named after the pre packaged ice cream cones they sometimes eat in the movies. With all the actors you recognized, I am surprised you did not recognize Martin Freeman (Bilbo Baggins) from The Hobbit as a London police officer. He was also in Shaun of the Dead, and appears again in the third movie World’s End. Another fun fact of the movie involves the judges at the end of the movie. The two ladies were portrayed by Simon Peg’s and Edgar Wright’s mothers for the scene. Another movie with both Simon and Nick is Paul. It is just as hilarious.
