To people who know movies, this is one of the greatest movies ever made. So many homages to other movies, such tight scriptwriting and editing, every character has an arc and a special moment, so much foreshadowing and so many callbacks, and the police love it because Angel acts like an exemplary police officer.
Shaun of the dead is coming out tomorrow and I really enjoyed it.
The "british stereotypes" are also perfectly "on the nose".
Yeah, a lot of the humor is just in the juxtaposition of action movie tropes in a small town in England.
If you don't know the tropes, or the source material, a lot of the humor just doesn't land.
But what I absolutely love about this movie is how every reveal at the end is subtly revealed early in the movie
I'm sorry I've had to release this to my viewers multiple times (and watermark) due to Chlamydia level copyright issues.
I thought this was a re-upload. Wasn't too sure.
I like this movie so I don't mind rewatching this with you.
Don't worry if i see this is for You seeing again is Nice
That's a pretty serious level lol
No need to apologise, i enjoyed watching your reaction to this again
SIDE NOTE: All swans in Britain belong to the -queen- king.
That's crazy
This bit gets me every time (because there is a kernel of truth in it):
"You can't make people disappear."
"Yes I can, I am the Chief Inspector."
[DONT look too closely into the british police/justice system or you will lose faith in humanity/western civilisation.]
Lmao, yeah it's not just the British police and justice system. All governments around the globe are crooked. People talk shit about third world countries and such claiming they are "savages" and do things that "civilized society" wouldn't do, but they don't realize our governments are doing those things, they just know how to hide it. Humanity is fucked, sadly. There is a lot of good in the world, but the evil will always overshadow it because humans are greedy selfish creatures. It's a shame.
This is one of those movies that gets funnier and better the more you watch it. Like every line in the first half is foreshadowing the second half of the movie. There's so many things that get said in passing so quickly that are a joke or reference to something later and that's what I find so brilliant about this movie. I've seen this movie about dozen times and even in my recent watch of it I noticed something I never noticed before. The Andy's say something like: "You wanna play big cop in a small town, why don't you go f**k about the model village?" and the last fight between Angel and Skinner takes place in the model village. That sort of thing is the case for like every line, it's crazy. Sgt Angel even knocks out most of the townspeople in ways that seem like accidents, keeping with the theme of how they stage their murders. He shoots the potted plant down onto someone, makes all those kegs/barrels take out someone else, Danny opens a car door into the bike lady, all things that could be seen as accidents. British humor tends to be a real hit or miss genre in the states. For me, it's one of my favorite styles of comedy and has me belly laughing all the time. But plenty of my friends and family stare blankly and either don't get it or don't find it funny.
Yeah maybe I need to give it another go. I really like Shaun of the dead. I reacted to it a few weeks later
A lot of the humor in this movie comes from references to and parodies of other movies and general movie tropes. Since you haven't seen too many movies, you might have missed a lot of that. Also, much of the humor is just very, _very_ British, which might also not be what you're used to and in tune with.
As someone who _has_ seen a lot of movies (including all of the ones this one specifically calls back to) and who's probably more accustomed to British humor, to me this is absolutely one of the funniest movies I've ever seen.
If this isn't your cup of tea, that's fine though. Different folks, different strokes, and all that. Glad to hear that you at least somewhat enjoyed it.
I still think about it a bit so that to me is a win for a movie.
"My, my, here come the Fuzz."
Fun Fact: When in costume, Nick Frost and Simon Pegg often were assumed to be police officers. Many strangers asked them for directions, and instead of telling the truth they went along with it.
Cameos Cameos Cameos Fact: Nicholas' ex-girlfriend Jeanine at the crime scene is Cate Blanchett. The Santa that stabs Nicholas is Peter Jackson. The judges for the Best Kept Village competition near the end of the film are played by Peter Wild and the mothers of Edgar Wright and Simon Pegg. P. I. Staker is Stephen Merchant, best known in America as the voice of Wheatley in Portal 2.
An Actor's Actor Fact: The filming of Angel and Skinner's first meeting at the supermarket was filmed over the course of two days. The conversation was filmed entirely from Timothy Dalton's perspective first. The next day, early in the morning, they were to film the conversation with Angel's perspective and close-ups. Dalton, much to the surprise of the crew, showed up early the next morning, and even though he wasn't going to be on camera for that particular portion of the filming, he sat off-camera in Skinner's chair and played the role so that Simon Pegg would be able to have him to work with while filming his part as Angel. Pegg stated it really showed Dalton's professionalism.
I love it, great stuff thanks
Stephen Merchant is fantastic in the recent AMAZON PRIME series THE OUTLAWS.
dont forget the trolly boy who is The Hound from GoT :)
galpeleg143 ...He's a main character that affects the plot, he doesn't qualify as a cameo.
Go with God and Be Safe from Evil. 😎 👍
@@BigGator5 the question is not if he main char or a comeo. the REAL question is: where are his CHICKENS :)
This movie is heavily underrated imo, and definitely the best out of the "trilogy"
That rendition of Romeo and Juliet really was criminal.
Horrible
It was based on Baz Luhrmann's 1996 movie Romeo + Juliet, which (like the play) was updated to a modern setting with guns instead of swords and also featured the song "Lovefool" by The Cardigans. The actual movie has _much_ better acting though.
@@rdevries3852 Judging by the costumes, I know it was the DiCaprio/Danes version. I'm just saying they butchered it beautifully here.
@@celiashen5490 Oh, yeah, no question about that. Some truly spectacular butchering was done here.
@@rdevries3852 You're right too. Baz Luhrmann puts on one heck of a show. His version of The Great Gatsby is on my list of required watching.
My favorite of the "trilogy". Too many great actors.
Great actors cant do sh.. with a bad script ... but this one is perfect in every little detail. Foreshadowings/callbacks, little hints and references to other movies and even "reality".
I must have seen this movie nigh on 20 times, it's always on tv here. If I happen to be channel surfing and see it's on, I still watch it, every single time.
I loved this movie before but I love it even more now after seeing the movies it references most notably Point Break & Bad Boys 2
Obviously I need to watch more movies. I should have really watched the reference material before getting to this.
@@AwesomeUSMovies Yeah, when I saw that you were reacting to this, I was worried. I figured it wouldn't really reach you because all of the many, many references it throws at you are to movies you've never seen. You really should watch it again though. Without the distraction of having to provide a reaction for us. There are so many clever things that this movie does that can be easily missed. Even after several viewings, I'm still catching little (brilliant) things that I didn't before. Little bits of dialog, or the amazing transitions. Even the way the music is used. I'm obviously biased since this is one of my all time favorites, but I really think you'll enjoy it more eventually.
This is film 2 of the Cornetto trilogy, Shaun of the Dead is film 1 and The World's end is film 3
This one made me feel all fuzzy inside.
“What was it like getting stabbed?”
“It was the single most painful moment of my life”
Then when danny “stabs” him the betrayal was the single most ‘emotionally’ painful moment in his life
Learn new things everyday
I, personally, prefer this film to Shaun of the Dead. That does not take anything away from that film, but this was the evolution to the awesomeness that Wright, Pegg, and Frost created in that film. Much like how everyone likes to say that Aliens is better than Alien, and T2 is better than The Terminator, even though Hot Fuzz is not a sequel, I feel like it is an example of how three filmmakers can work together and make something that is entirely better than already beloved classic, which Shaun of the Dead is. Oh, and the Goose is easily the best character.
This is one of my all-time favourite movies. Loved your reaction as well.
"Why'd he waste his bullets?"...must have completely missed the reference to Point Break ...doh!
Sorry I haven't seen that one yet
@@AwesomeUSMovies They played the clip in hot fuzz 😜
@@AwesomeUSMovies Point Break is an early/mid 90's cop / bromance classic with the two movie icons Patrick Swazey and Keanu Reeves.
Because of Patrick's hair style (blond wavy mullet) in the movie, Tony Stark (also known as Iron Man, played by the fantastic Robert Downey Jr.) in both "Avengers" and "Thor 3/Ragnarok" keeps calling Thor, "Point Break".
The desperate unloading of the clip into the air is the direct reference to a man not being able to bring himself to kill another man, even though he might deserve it. Iconic scene.
Another great movie ❤️❤️
Hot Fuzz is a BRITISH FILM. It's part of the Cornetto Trilogy. The First was Shaun Of The Dead. This was the Second and the Third is The World's End. American Humour is different from the rest of the World. Your Humour is Vaudeville Style, the rest of the World grew out of that a very long time ago. By the way, have you noticed Vaudeville has the word evil in it.
I reacted to Shaun of the Dead already. I really liked that one.
Great movie!!
You seemingly haven't seen enough films to get all the references, it IS very funny, but so much of that was because of the references and homages to films you likely haven't seen.
Lots to watch
This was a totally insane movie. I like Simon Pegg in this more than the others. I give it a 7.5 out of 10.
I love these movies, very rewatch able
I'd love to see a rewatch of this again in a few years after you have more action movies under your belt. I'd definitely save some of the parody movies for down the road, but all that being said your laugh is infectious and I love this channel. Maybe try out some non-parody British comedies too. About Time is my absolute favorite Rom Com
I'd also say it's to do more with British humour too
I still enjoyed it
I love that introduction.
I have seen this movie . I'm glad I watched it. But I must say it's quirky.
I really liked this movie a lot! Glad it was picked ♥️✌🏻☀️
I still haven't seen this yet, it's on my list of films to watch.
You don't have to watch Shaun of the dead first.. it's in a odd trilogy called the Cornetto trilogy mostly the same actors playing different roles... the only thing the movies truly have in common is you can see the actors eating different flavored Cornetto ice creams, the different flavor colors representing the mood of the film, this one is the blue classic flavor for the boys in blue.. green for alien blood in the worlds end and red in Shaun of the dead for blood.
check back in a couple of weeks wink wink
@@AwesomeUSMovies sweeeet!
I like Shawn of the dead best
@@wizartr0n me too
It’s also the same Director, put some respect on Edgar Wright 🐐
This is in my top 10 favorite movies. Love the twist and the epic ending.
Please watch The nice guys .. It came out a few years ago.. I liked it. I feel like nobody's watching it. While it's nothing new.. I feel like it's not really a garbage movie.. Sometimes I even feel it's criminally underrated.

@@AwesomeUSMovies Thank you. :)
So sad that Timothy Dalton didn't had a bigger role here. I really like him as 007, but he has a talent for the villain. He is at his most Bondish evil in The Rocketeer, which is a great Dinsney film from the 90s.
Great video as always!
Another great film!
This is a personal favorite. I can't wait for you to finish the Cornetta Trilogy.
Also, Dalton is a fantastic actor. one of my favorite films, THE ROCKETEER (before Marvek's Iron Man, historically, 1940s comics), and a great Tim Dalton role.
Added to my list, thanks for the suggestion.
*Cornetto
Hardly anyone remembers Timothy Dalton as James Bond these days, because far too many have grown up with Daniel Craig. Dalton wasnt the best one in that role, but much better than Craig.
Argus Filch (with cat in Harry Potter). 6/10 is good. American comedy movie (Airplane) 100/100. Please react to this movie (Cult Classic)...
I've already reacted to Airplane go check it out:
ruclips.net/video/YVKVuzj_VZY/видео.html
Fun fact Paul Freeman the guy who plays the reverend was the guy who played Ivan ooze in the mighty Morphin power rangers movie
Oh that's interesting
I prefer Hot Fuzz to Sean of the Dead but they're both great.
Great reaction to this movie, i also agree with the 6/10 for this movie 🤙
I agree 100%
You'd probably like The World's End. I dunno what you'd think of Shaun of the Dead, given "horror" and all.
When Danny shot his gun in the air it was a point break movie reference which Danny and Nicholas watched in this very movie.. Hot Fuzz is the second of the cornetto trilogy. In order it's Shawn of the dead, Hot fuzz, and then The world's end. If you didn't like Hot fuzz, then you'll probably not like the other two. Especially since I don't think you'll get most of the British humor and movie references. Which is fine. Not everyone likes the same things. Take care.xx
I closed my eyes for that part. I knew I hadn't seen it and need to watch it at some point.
@@AwesomeUSMovies Ah gotcha..xx
Love the Channel!
I really enjoyed this movie.
Fun reaction!!
Commenting for the contest :)
You know Santa was played by Peter Jackson🤓
No, I didn't know that
These two remind me of Abbott and Costello.
As to your asking what "Chunky Monkey" was..it's a flavor of Ben and Jerry's ice cream.
oh, yummy cool.
awesome us movies is awesome
I liked the movie ... I'll rate it 7/10 < wich is pretty good!
agreed
10/10
Please review "Phonebooth". I was on the crew.
You needed to watch about 10 other movies before watching this. This is a spoof cop movie of all other cop movies.
I liked Shaun of the Dead better
Yes, Shaun of the dead is first.
7:20 Dollars? 🤔😂
Yeah, I liked that. Sorry about the watermark. This is why I pretty much stay with US based movies
@@AwesomeUSMovies No, I wasn't complaining about the watermark.
I meant something different:
You mentioned they had to pay 2 dollars ($) while it was 2 pounds (£) of course. 🙂
Have you seen Smokey and the Bandit?
Added to my list, thanks for the suggestion.
Dearest Mr. James, I love to watch all the movies with you, moreover I love you as an honest person! But please: Your account is called "Awsome US-Movies" and I'm totally fine with it.
Even when you give us some personal informations about your former background you speak about the "idea" to watch all the great US-Movies you've had missed in your past...
I truly hope that you also realize, that some of the movies you've already watched (and liked very much!) are definately NO US-Movies. "Hot Fuzz" for exp. is an UK and FRANCE co-production.
Or and of course "James Bond 007" (I hope we will see some more of them in the future), one of the greatest "franchises" ever made IS ALL BRITISH (UK-made!) So here and there I find an Australien or even Canadien productions betweeen your chosen movies. As Mr. James Bond himself would take it: "It's unfortunately so typical american, to believe, that almost each great motion picture is a "Hollywood-made one"! So as a huge "book worm" (your words) you should at least have already read about those facts. Facts of life... We (all your non-american fans!) will appreciate that. Thank you very much in advance! All the best to you and may God pless you!
I talked about this being a non-US based movie specifically in the intro. The only reason this is US based movies is do to copyright. The United States has a very firm law set in-place to protect this content. Many other contries don't have this set in stone laws and that is the main reason this is mostly a US based movie channel. Nothing to do with origin or characters or anything like that. Just becuase of copyright law.
@@AwesomeUSMovies Thank you very much for the explanation and the fact that you repeated it especially for me. Accepted - of course; even if not fully understandable (for us Germans ;-) ) Quite simply because here in Germany we also have some of the strictest laws in the world regarding copyrights. Primarily: It must be clearly recognizable as a “reaction or commentary channel” (and audible through cuts, overlapping comments, etc.) and it must be clearly stated underneath who owns the respective copyrights - regardless of which copyrights. Finally, what mattered to me the most was that YOU have lots and lots of fun with the BEST movies (from all over the world!). And by the way, will there be another James Bond movie reaction on your channel? My personal recommendation: “The Spy who loved me” (1977)... :-))) So, stay “AWSOME” and only the very best wishes for you - as always!

I haven't seen this movie.
Definitely not one of the most enjoyable movies I've watched. I found very little humor in it but British humor is very dry to me. One time around was more than enough. But many loved it so kudos to them.
Most of the humour and subtlety were lost on you unfortunately but that can happen if this si your first experience of film and humour outside the US
I watched the second one Shaun of the Dead and I actually really like that one
@@AwesomeUSMovies Yeah I watched your reaction.
Perhaps the more you watch the more you tune in because Hot Fuzz is everything Shaun of the Dead is in terms of script and direction, only more finely honed and the best of the trilogy in the majority of peoples opinion.
Of course not everyone enjoys that sort of dry humour or subtle word play anyway which is loaded in Hot Fuzz.
It would have been interesting to see if you reactions and opinions would have been the same if you had watched Shaun of the Dead first but like I say, everyone has their own taste in humour.
comment
The humour is phenomenal, but I don't appreciate the gore.
I didn't think it was to bad in this one
@@AwesomeUSMovies Yeah, it's just not what I want to see when I'm promised a "comedy".
Oh dear another American who doesn't get the humour.... just to much of it... to compute... missed practically all the references to other movies...
