Using the peace lily for violence is such an underrated joke.
The joke about the living statue in the mass grave is either that they killed him and he didn't move, or that he's still alive and they dumped him in there but he's too dedicated to the bit to leave. Either way, amazing writing.
I always loved the musical gags with Timothy Dalton’s character - when he shows up in his car after the first murder he’s listening to Romeo and Juliet by Dire Straits. Then, after the fridge magnate’s house blows up, he’s listening to Fire by Crazy World of Arthur Brown.
Me too, especially since it introduced me to the latter song.
I got the fire song bit, but I never noticed the first one. Cheers.
41:43 Fun Fact, The judges are Edgar Wright's mom (on the left), his old drama teacher (center) and Simon Pegg's mom (on the right). Cool cameos of the many.
Fun fact lol - we all started drinking when we were about 13..
This is one of those perfect movies that stands up to multiple rewatches because you catch extra details each time, not to mention all the little bits of behind-the-scenes trivia:
- Janine is played by Cate Blanchett. Once you know it, you can't unsee those eyes.
- The Santa that stabs Angel is Peter Jackson (director of the Lord of the Rings movies)
- DS Andy Wainright is played by Paddy Considine, who you may recognise as King Viserys on House of the Dragon
- You recognise Rory McCann, who was The Hound on Game of Thrones, as Michael the big supermarket clerk.
- All the town citizens/NWA are stalwarts of British acting. It's a great trick because as they are all famous to certain degrees, you never quite know who is the villain.
- The police command at the start get progressively more famous (at the time) as they go up the ranks: Martin Freeman (pre-Hobbit and Sherlock), Steve Coogan and finally, Bill Nighy.
- Every Chekov's Gun moment is fulfilled - even the sea mine. It's perfect.
The bit of BTS trivia I like the most however is in early versions of the script, they gave Angel a love interest. They decided to scrap the part and gave the lines and plot to Danny (Nick Frost) - making their buddy cop relationship much like a love story.
Bonus: few get the "Forget it Nicholas. It's Sandford." reference, to the movie "Chinatown".
So true with the eyes, I had to stop the movie on my first watch, i just knew i knew those eyes, but I could not put a name to them. Looked it up and then I was "Cate Blanchett! Ofc, who else?!"
The Shaun of the dead DVD in the bargain bin. I pissed laughing when I caught that.
Timothy Dalton is sublime in this - the most menacing baddie ever, and the choice of music each time he pulls over at an "accident" is genius...
Edgar Wright and Simon Pegg's mums cameo as the village of the year judges. Edit to add that Edgar Wright plays the gas station attendant.
The "you can't make people disappear" - "Yes I can, I am the commissioner" - and then having loads of people "being disappeared by the chief in Sandford" ... is great foreshadowing, but also kinda reality in today's Britain, where people ARE being put into prison for absolutely ridiculous charges while others who have done worse are allowed to roam free, because of their protected class.
Aaron A Aaronson. Well spotted you guys - most people miss that one 😀
My favorite line has to be "You want to be a big cop in a small town, f#$& off up the model village."
Jeez... I've literally just caught on to that lol...
The new twins being named Roger and Martin is a shoutout to Murtaugh and Riggs in Lethal Weapon.
My favourite bit in this, is how the joke of everyone in the countryside packing guns, especially farmers and farmer's mums, comes back into play when literally the whole town, a farmer and his mum is armed to the teeth and tries to kill him. Every single "throwaway" joke has a payoff which makes it so satisfying on a rewatch.
There are so many brilliant subtle jokes and callbacks like that in this movie, it's very Edgar Wright. From Angel pointing out the kids hat hiding his face and Danny later saying I couldn't see his face, I'm not made of eyes to the NWA people all being in the same places in the village during the shootout as they were when Angel was jogging earlier or even Danny accidentally shooting the doctor in the foot twice.
I've seen this probably a hundred times and there's still little details you've never noticed.
@@danclifford1027Same here! For example, this time I noticed that when Danny said it weren't him who'd written "twat" inside Angel's hat, he really struggled to meet Angel's gaze in a way that made it fairly clear that it were in fact him whodunnit. 😄
One of my favorite details of this movie happens right near the beginning. Pegg's ex, Janine, is played by Cate Blanchett who gave her cameo fee to charity. She just liked Shaun of the Dead, and Wright thought it'd be funny to get a beautiful, Oscar winning actress in only to put her in coveralls and a mask so you can barely tell.
similarly with peter jackson (director of lord of the rings) playing the santa that stabbed simon pegg's character
and not the only Oscar Winning Actress either,with Olivia ,as well:)
All Star cast...
Once you know, though, you can't help but see *those* eyes.
this is what Shawn is missing.. the cameos like an actor that has played James Bond, etc.
@@aussiejed1I noticed right away when I first watched this movie, but then again that was shortly after I'd seen her in The Life Aquatic and developed quite a crush on her! 😄
This is pretty much as close as a film gets to being perfectly written - wherein almost everything that is said ties to something else
It’s so freakin’ good!
Scott Pilgrim is another script I think is really well done.
'Sandford' is Wells in Somerset. The tourist info office gives out flyers showing you some of the film locations. One of the local pubs we went in for lunch has an autographed bullet proof vest on display worn by Simon Pegg.
This screenplay should have been nominated for an Oscar.
Maybe it would have if the Academy took comedy seriously.
it pained me to hear Olivia Colman referred to as "in Secret Invasion." she's a bloody amazing actress!
She’s so amazing and so prolific. It’s been so funny to me over the years to see the changes in “oh she’s in [other media]” go from obscure stuff to wacky pop stuff to major Oscar cred stuff to the most pulpy mass media things imaginable. What a career.
Yes Oscar winning Olivia Coleman.
She'll always be a contestant on Numberwang to me...
One of the funniest buddy cop action comedy movies ever made!
There are so many fun cameos in this. The Santa Claus who stabbed Nicholas in the opening was actually Peter Jackson (yes, the guy who directed Lord of the Rings)
Peter Jackson was doing B-movie trash like DEAD ALIVE before LOTR, which is hilarious in hindsight
😭 when ol girl was at the festival and there's the pig on the rotator and she's in between two guys and she says that's me after a few drinks 🤣💀
That one usually sneaks by people on their first viewing, but it's one of my favorites! 😄
I believe that several of the members of the NWA are veteran British actors who have been in action films themselves when they were younger, often as spies or secret agents. Edward Woodward, the guy who shoots Danny at the end, was the policeman in the original Wicker Man film (I think his last line is a reference to that film in fact).
And he was the original Equalizer in the American tv series.
& the vicar was Belloq in Raiders of the Lost Ark.
@@oshirokita The Equalizer was a massively popular tv series back in the 80s. People probably only know the re-boot movies.
@@eddhardy1054Holy crap, how did I not notice that???
@@korganrocks3995 To be fair he does look a tad different nowadays...and he didn't eat a fly in Hot Fuzz...or did he? 😉😊
Yessss ! This is my personal favorite from the Cornetto trilogy, love how the mystery unfolds!
This is probably my favorite Edgar Wright movie. It's so funny and well-made, and you notice something more, like a background event or bit of foreshadowing, every time you watch it
Holy fuck, I dont think anyone else has ever called out the possibility of it being ketchup. Good catch, dude.
Love the "PUNCH! THAT! SHIT!" when they start up the car at 41:37. They would show that clip whenever you would press "play" on the DVD menu haha.
This is one of my all-time favorites. I love how little jokes like "Fascist, hag" and "Farmers and Farmer's mums" come back. And it has a stacked cast too. Simon Pegg, Nick Frost, Timothy Dalton, Olivia Colman, Martin Freeman, Steeve Coogan, Bill Nighy. Fun fact: Santa was played by Peter Jackson and Janine was played by Cate Blanchett.
Still such a great, fun movie that that seems to pass in no time at all with so many great characters including a former James Bond.
Timothy Dalton steals the show every time he's onscreen in this movie. Fantastic performance as the suspiciously obvious prime suspect!
I watch a lot of people reacting to this and so far you guys have been the most switched on and observant to all the fore-shadowing, in-jokes and so on, it was enjoyable to watch you watch it.
I am now off to check out more of your stuff!!
:D
'Paul' from 2011 is worth a look.
The 2 main guys from this one are in it.
Love Paul
Might've realised already but Paddy Considine (one half of the Andys) is Viserys from House of the Dragon. Talk about acting range.
Not sure what his character name is in game of thrones but the big fella who works in the store is in it
...He's the Hound.
Such a great contribution to cinema. The buddy-cop movie is a fundamentally American genre, and basically the continuation of the Western, so it's fascinating to see a British take on it / takedown of it. PS, my soul dies a little when nobody recognizes the reference to Chinatown, "Forget it, Nicholas, it's Sandford."
I did notice it.
I noticed that too! Probably the best throwaway joke in the movie. Also the same was in cloudtown in Inside Out and worked really good because no one expects that in children's animation.
I saw it, you're not alone.
The older British actors in this film are brilliant, they must have loved playing the bad guys. I remember listening to Simon Pegg's commentary on the DVD, it's a lot of fun.
I think every actor must love playing bad guys, especially ones as hilariously over the top as this!
One of the biggest comedic elements of this movie is lost on anyone who isn't British, unfortunately. It's based on the stereotype that all British villages are closed societies and everyone who lives there is involved in everyone's business, with village politics and an elite class of self-appointed old people controlling everything. Having experienced it myself I can tell you it's absolutely true. You can't walk into one of these villages without everyone instantly knowing there's a "stranger" in town, every curtain twitches, everyone in the pub stares at you, everyone is suspicious of your motives. It really is like walking into a cult lol
The old guy in charge of the Neighbourhood Watch CCTV is
Edward Woodward in the 80's he was in a TV series the Equilizer
What Denzel Washington Films are based off
In the 1960s, he played Callan in a British TV series, a gritty spy.
However, the priest is played by Paul Freeman, aka Belloch from Raiders of the Lost Ark.
I love how almost everyone’s surname ends in ‘er’ just to really accentuate the accent. Also I haven’t seen many reactors notice that one of the Andy’s is in Shaun of the dead and the other one is in the worlds end
My favorite of the Cornetto trilogy...And you have an ex-James Bond in it.
And also in the third one "The world's end" with Pierce Brosnan
I absolutely loved Timothy Dalton in this, ah he's so good at playing the bad guy.
4:38 Well, that wouldn't be a problem here in Austria. The drinking age is 16 and when accompanied by a legal guardian people may even drink at the age of 14. 🙂
The human statue in the catacombs scene always makes me laugh 😆
The NWA joke was intentional..Tosser is another way of saying wanker. The play was based on Baz Luhrman's Romeo+Juliet, staring Leo Decaprio. The fights with Lurch are mostly with Simon Pegg, His stunt double got injured and Pegg did almost all of his fighting, himself.
You caught Danny's fake out! Great Job!
You live your life for the king, you’re gonna die for some chickens?
“Yarp!”
24:27 ‘is he one of The Youths?!’ 😂😂😂
The bit with the bulletproof deli counter glass is in there because they filmed the scenes in an actual supermarket under the condition that they pay for all damages to the store. Those deli glass counters are devilishly expensive so they could not break it. I think they still managed to accidentally break it in the final scene so they put that in.
My first time seeing one of your vids, subbed! Loved the reaction guys. Nice to see you get the British humour 😊.
A quick scroll through the comments and no one mentioned it. The actress everyone seems to miss is the Hotel Owner (Hag) is the person that played (amongst many other things) Mrs Baylock, the second nanny, in the film "The Omen" - Billie Whitelaw
First time watching your channel, great reaction guys, your alchemy is cool to see, you just won a new subscriber
Greetings from Paris !
The scene in which Angel jumps the fences is a reference to Shaun of the Dead in which Pegg did the same, but not in an equally agile way.
Yep! He tanked trough them...
Director Peter Jackson is the bad santa who stabs his hand at the beginning lol
Good reaction guys, one my favourite movies, filled to the brim with brilliant actors.
I found this channel yesterday and you guys are one of my new favorite reactors!
Yes and the reason that they swerved to miss the swan is because I think in the UK a swan is considered the Queen's Bird, and therefore if you kill or harm one it's actually chargeable as an act of treason.
Not strictly true, it is not an act of treason but they are a protected species. The monarch owns most of the swans on a stretch of the Thames near Winsor. This film was shot in the small city of Wells, at the old Bishop’s Palace the Swans that live in the mote pull a chain to ring a bell when they want to be fed.
@@pureholy Beat me to it. FYI king now.
@@pureholy thanks I'm a Yank, I spent about a year in the Midlands for work way back when, so I wasn't exactly sure on everything so appreciate the schooling 😉
Well... It's more like the crown's birds. Or do you think, the King don't have the same rights?
the first two films of the trilogy are great, but the third one will blow your scalps, I promise! 😂
its like watching two kittens being confused by a laser light pen
The old man with the photos. Is played by Edward woodward (who starred as robert McCall) the original equlizer in thd 80s tv series
Next up....Paul!!!!👽😎😅🤣😂👏🙌👍❤🎉
Good Reaction Guys. The more I see Reactions to this, the more I notice extra things:)
2 Oscar Winning Actresses in Cate Blanchett and Olivia Colman.A former "James Bond" in Timothy Dalton aka Simon Skinner. The brilliant Simon Pegg and Edward Woodward, star of a couple of Series and "Wicker Man". Jim Broadbent, Nick Frost, Martin Freeman, Steve Coogan, Bill Nighy and on and on:)
Paddy Considine aka King Viserys
@@noneofyourbeeswax01 Yes and I could have mentioned that the florist was "Ken Barlow's " wife from the very first episode of Coronation Street: Anne Reid. aka "Valerie Barlow. :)
Edward Woodward won a 1987 Golden Globe for best TV actor for his role in 'The Equalizer'. Jim Broadbent won an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor for his role in 'Iris' (2001)
@@peterdavis7579 Didn't know that.
For us oldies Edward will always be "Callan" :)
@@Isleofskye Well now you have rectified that omission and I have learned a little more :)
It just occurred to me that when the inn keeper exclaims how the heavens have opened as Nicholas walks through the door, it also sounds like she's worried that an (Sergeant) angel has just bust through the door to deal with their hellish village
2:57 Note This is what CSI units actually look like. In European films, we dress them accordingly, in American film/shows they barely have masks on. So they can show their pretty face to Hollywood. Hilarious. Contaminating the crime scene there son!
Def one of my fav comedies.
I was going to say about Cate Blanchett but was beaten to it 😂 so I say this the guy at the petrol station is a British actor who appeared in a lot Carlsberg and other adverts before and after this role. Lucy Punch who plays the women with annoying laugh was the rival teacher for Cameron Diaz in the brilliant comedy, Bad Teacher.
This is one of the Cornetto trillagy all great flims and a Cornetto is eaten in every film.
The pub was full of under age drinkers nothing unusual in a country pub, i started going and drinking in pubs at 15, easy and no problem.
I lived in a tiny extreamly remote village in Shropshire and if you hadn't lived in the village for 800 years you would never be locals, but it had a great pub that had lots of Lock In's, late drinking. The locals were nut but in a good way, i was standing at the bar once and the men[farmers) behind me said "its as packed as a sheep dip in here) fantastic, so funny.
Danny is finally wearing his vest in final scene.
Speaking of celebrity cameos, has anyone mentioned that director Peter Jackson is the Santa Claus who stabs him in the hand at the start?
A lot mentioned it...
Such a brilliantly written buddy cop comedy. Every line is either a reference, a foreshadowing of something to come or is payoff for something that happened or was mentioned previously.
And don't know if anyone has mentioned but Nicholas's ex is Cate Blanchett (Edgar Wright thought it would be hilarious to have one of the most beautiful actresses covered up in overalls and a mask) and the Santa Claus that stabs him, is actually Peter Jackson who directed the Lord of the Rings Trilogy.
Oooo if you both haven’t seen it you should complete the trilogy with At worlds end. ❤
Lots of well known and occasionally famous? Ish faces in this, Skinner (Timothy Dalton was James Bond for a while), Bill Bailey is both desk sergeants
Other Pegg and Frost movies
Shaun of the Dead
Worlds End
Absolutely Everything
Paul (Paul is great fun )
Hot Fuzz is Fantastic, Simon Pegg is amazing.
I work in Wells Somerset in England where its filmed all drive through the Higt Street with a smile on my face knowing what was filmed where always funny everytime I watch it
The fact Nicholas graduated with degrees in Politics and Sociology is a dig at a recruitment approach in the Police from the 2000s, when graduates could go straight into a command position based purely on having a degree. I was in The Job at the time and we did end up with a number of baby-faced Inspectors without a clue about policing who had degrees in sociology, textiles and other equally useless qualifications...they tended to stay in the station and "shine their arses" while us proper cops went out and did the job properly.
Also the scene at Danny's house didn't go down well with test screenings in the US because some people complained it was too homoerotic...
There’s a special feature in the DVD that explains how everyone survived the sea mine blast and how Danny survived the gunshot to the chest. Check it out
18 is the legal drinking age in England and it is 16 in Germany.
Although anyone over 5 can drink at home legally. Or 16 with Parents and a meal at a restaurant/pub.
14:29 That's Timothy Dalton, 80's James Bond. He is great in this
It is a great Film and your reaction kinda improved it.... Subscribed.... Perhaps your first one from Thailand
After completing the "Cornetto Trilogy", you should definitely watch "Paul". The dynamic duo, in the USA...
Basically every adult with a part in this film is a very famous British actor from years ago. The priest is the bad guy from Raiders of the Lost Ark
if you haven’t watched it yet, check out this director, Edgar Wright’s Baby Driver
Awesome film
This film is like a mixture between an old ealing comedy 🎭 , and the wicker man, probably one of my favourite comedies of all time.
Where did you get those background lights?
The other movie in the trilogy is titled At World's End! I hope you watch it as well! 👱♀👱♀👗👗👠👠❤❤
It's "The World's End". At World's End is the third Pirates Of The Caribbean movie.
@@charleslee8313 You are absolutely right. Please forgive me for having ANOTHER DUMB BLOND woman moment. I swear they don't happen every day, but they do happen at times! 👱♀👱♀👗👗👠👠❤❤
now just the worlds end to finish the cornetto trilogy
The Romeo and Juliet is based on the 90s movie Romeo + Juliet, with DeCaprio and Claire Daines... a "modern" take on the story that included that "Love me" song they sing as well
Really shows you how pop culture works. Everyone knew that movie and was referenced constantly in a pre-meme time, but is now completely irrelevant.
You should consider SNATCH (with subtitles 😂)
Paddy is in this too... King Viserys in HOTD
"nobody's going to stab you in here ...not a member of the public anyhow"
Then he gets stabbed by danny
He also tells danny "my notebook's saved my skin more times than i can mention" and its danny in the castle who puts the notebook in angels pocket before he later stabs him then at the reveal he shows the ketchup and says i was saving your skin. Thats sort of just scratching the surface of the number of set ups and payoffs in the movie its kind of mind boggling how many refrences and set it the there are
King Viserys Targaryen @ 15:46 ✅
First reactors to call the Danny / Ketchup ruse.,
cant drive with one hand , how would u change gear ?
Liked your video. But the movie volume is low and your voices are high. 🤫
they weren't bullying him, that was banter !
You need to watch after the end credits, back pages of Danny’s book 😅
Good reaction 😊
(Comedy and Action) Movies to watch: The Ringer, Date Night , Jo Koy Don't Make Him Angry Netflix , Fired up , Benchwarmers , Cellular , Fluffy's Magic Mike Story , Stadium Fluffy Netflix , and , Transporter 1-2-3, Strays , Knight and Day
He cant drive and eat the ice-cream because cars in the UK are manual and you need both hands 😉
It’s also Illegal and they are cops……
This film needs many watches as so layered. Great reactions guys
It was not considered a good night in the UK back in the day unless you ended up with a traffic cone. On a good night it ended up on your head.
They're an evil Home Owners Association
there are a handful of movies I would give 10\10 and this is one of them
Yes, I love this movie!
Have you seen these movies:
1. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3 🦡
2. Top Gun Maverick 🛩️
If you didn't, please watch these movies.
Because I am eagerly waiting for these movies reaction 🥰
I suspect that the city from paw patrol has similar culty shenanigans. Having been forced to watch many an episode, that city has a suspiciously high number of "accidents" too...
The fact that 95% of British police don't carry guns even in London, is what makes this even funnier, in a quaint little village.
Well... After the sheriffs got their hands on so much material, the guns weren't that difficult anymore...
HINT: this is BRITAIN ... and *all swans BELONG TO THE QUEEN (King now),* thus they are a big deal.
You can say it also this way. They belong to the crown...
