It's actually the Three Colour Cornetto trilogy which is a joke on The Three Colours Trilogy too. Red Cornetto for Shaun, Blue for Hot Fuzz and Green for At World's End
Cornetto's more like a famous brand of ice cream. I didn't know that Fuzz was a salng term, though, I kinda guessed it, seeing this video, not the 3 times before on my own. lol
"Short Arm of the Law" is also a joke that relies on entendre: "short arm" refers to a particular part of the police officer's anatomy (and yes, being a woman does have nothing to do with it)
fun fact for you Ange, Nick Frost and Simon Pegg have such good on-screen chemistry because they've been friends in real life for many years; there was a time when they were so broke that for six months they shared a single bed to sleep in (Pegg was initially staying on Frost's floor but found it too uncomfortable, so got in the bed with him. They have both said in interviews that they recommend all guys should sleep with their friends, and that to this day they love to cuddle each other). When Frost got married, the night before his wedding he had one last sleepover with Pegg as a little farewell to their shared bachelorhood 🥺
@@TJMiton My best m8 stayed over with me 45 years ago and I surprised him at Midnight by sticking a Hawaiian flute instrument up his jaxie. I have seen someone rum out of a room so quick 😀
My favorite part of trivia still is the backstory of the character "Skinner". While writing this movie Wright and Pegg were clear they wanted an actor wo can play this role like Timothy Dalton ... and after a longer search they just thought: "Well why dont we just ask Timothy Dalton if he wants to play it?". They never thought he would say yes, cause he is a huge star (played 007 for example), but well, he did. And it turned out that to this day this is still considered by Dalton as one of his greatest experiences filming a movie ever. In the end... everything worked out perfectly for *The greater Good*
Fun fact: nick was originally meant to have a romantic interest, but they eventually gave most of her scenes to Danny. So their chemistry having a borderline romantic tone at times isn't entirely unintentional
@@jamshush i like to think of it as existing in both states just like Schrödinger's cat, until u prod it and see if hard or soft it exists in both states both biscuit and cake
The Cornetto trilogy is more of a thematic trilogy as opposed to what you'd typically expect. Each film is its own separate thing, but are connected by similar themes and ideas, recurring cast members, certain jokes (such as the fence-hopping) and the Cornetto itself, which is a type of ice cream fairly popular in the UK, with each film featuring a different flavour (and colour) to coincide with the film's genre
@@beannathrach2417 Wait... i thought "Attack the block" was part of the trilogy. It also had and icream eating sceen in it... and was about an alien invasion (so to speak).
Hot Fuzz is a serious contender for my all-time favorite comedy. Everything is executed perfectly, and there are a lot of little details that you'll only notice on repeat viewings. One fun bit of trivia is that Nick had a love interest in the first draft of the script. She was written out... and her lines were given to Danny. Two of the Best Village judges that show up near the end are the mothers of Edgar Wright and and Simon Pegg. Cate Blanchett and Peter Jackson make hidden cameos near the beginning as Jeanine and Father Christmas. Also, Sandford IRL is actually Wells, Somerset, the hometown of Edgar Wright; the footchase scene was filmed in the alley where Wright walked to school every day as a kid. There are tons of other interesting facts about the production, so you should probably listen to the director's commentary if you ever do a rewatch.
The growth of Danny is this movie often slips by. Referring to his mom's death as a traffic collision, instead of accident. Using the note pad, and the ketchup, to stab Nick. The Manpower line at the end. When you rewatch it, (because why would you not) look for those little tidbits. Also Danny got to do all the things he asked about. Shooting while jumping though the air, shoot gun up in the air going Ahhhhhh ect.
That stage play wasn't just Romeo and Juliet, it was an adaptation of the 90s film version of Romeo and Juliet starring a little lad named Leonardo DiCaprio in the role that first got him famous. Edit: Where did Skinner learn to fight like that? He did play James Bond.
Something that not one reactor seems to notice. Every time Skinner drives past a crime scene, a song related to each is playing on his car radio. The decapitation, Romeo and Juliet by Dire Straits, the house explosion, Fire by The Crazy World of Arthur Brown. Etc
I think over the years Hot Fuzz slowly overtook Shaun of the Dead as my favorite. I love how it starts out as a sort of Mystery/Thriller and then one second it just becomes a full blown action movie.
This is one of my go to movies to fall asleep to because I've seen it so many times that it makes me feel comfy and stimulated without needing my full attention. I'm glad you've discovered it.
One thing to note with the Cornetto trilogy: As someone who watched all three plenty of times, you can't help but notice when first time viewers try to guess the twist and end up being validated by their guess when in actuality they twists and plot points have been telegraphed either in the background, dialogues, wordplay, props, etc. But it's nice to see the genuine joy people have when they get to the conclusions though. Adorable, really.
"Friendship chemistry" is very much a real thing. In casting, if you make serious contention...there's always a chemistry reading with an established casted talent.
Even the bit parts are filled by amazing actors. The female officer is Olivia Colman, who won an Oscar a few years ago. The 'Lurch' character is The Hound from GAME OF THRONES. And even Dalton's secretary is Alice Lowe, who wrote, directed and starred in a great horror movie called PREVENGE.
Nick Frost actually used to be a server in the restaurant that Simon frequented, he always made Simon laugh and that's how he got his break into acting. I think it was the TV series 'Spaced' where Nick got a roll as a gun nut fantasist/survivalist with Simon.
He makes a very brief appearance in the sketch comedy series "Big Train" before that (which had Simon Pegg as a member of the cast). If I remember he's a builder wolf whistling a....a..... I can't explain it.
They were even closer than that, they were flatmates. In fact, Simon had so much fun fooling around and joking with Nick that he suggested he try acting as a job, (hence his role in Spaced).
@@RickLeMonI think on the UK's "Channel 4 Online" and on Prime. I'm not sure if you can access those from outside of the UK without a VPN though. It also came out on DVD if you still have a player.
This movie is incredible. There are a bunch of phenomenal actors giving it their all, and the attention to detail is staggering. Like, for instance, if Arthur Wembley hadn't been clipping those hedgerows, when Danny and Nicholas went to dive over them to avoid the sea mine, they wouldn't have been able to. It was only because he clipped them that it was short enough for them to dive over. Or how all the members of the NWA have really sinister names (Butcher, Hatcher, Skinner, etc.). It's one of those movies you can watch multiple times and catch something new every time.
Similarities between Anglina and Nicholas Angle 1. Both haven’t watched Die Hard or Bad boys 2.(he watches it later in the movie) 2. Both get their names spelled wrong by other people (just like me, i know i did it for comic effect, don’t come after me grammar nazis) 3. Both of them didn’t get the agnostic joke. Hence proven Anglina=Nicholas Angle
The title “Hot Fuzz” is because “fuzz” is slang for police and the filmmakers were parodying the frequent use of two-word titles for 80s/90s action movies. It’s also a nod to the Killers’ debut album “Hot Fuss”, the poster for that album is shown briefly in one of the scenes.
Throughout the film they reference many classic 80s and 90s cop action movies, such as Callahan park, Callahan was one of the characters from Lethal weapon
First thing anyone should do after watching Hot Fuzz, is watch Hot Fuzz again to notice all the set ups and hints and foreshadowing. Also to hear some of the great jokes you spoke over lol :P
the outtakes for this film in particular are some of the funniest outtakes from any movie! plus there's one little scene where the 2 detectives are arguing with nick and they exit the frame one at a time and then one of them pops his head back in frame for a second before leaving again.. it cracks me up EVERY time and i'll even laugh just thinking about it
@@calvinjohnstone2664 one of my favorites is how he can't keep it together when meeting the detectives and the one guy is just holding the bite of cake near his mouth lol
Edgar Wright is my favorite director, hands down. It's so hard to pick a favorite film of his because they're all so good. Baby Driver, Scott Pilgrim, Cornetto trilogy, Spaced, Last Night in Soho, just put them all on a loop for me and I'll be happy. Glad to see more people appreciate his work!
The reason their friendship chemistry is so good, is because they are IRL friends. They used to be in a show together called Spaced that has a cult following. A lot of the cast in Sean of The Dead are from that show and the extra's who played zombies were fans who did it for £1. they would have done it for free but there was some legal reason that meant they needed to be paid.
This. While I really enjoyed it the first go round, it wasn’t until my 2nd & 3rd viewing that I truly started to see how genius the screenplay & acting were. After the first viewing, I would’ve said that Shaun of the Dead was still my favorite of the two. 20 minutes into my 2nd viewing, that order had changed.
@@goldenageofdinosaurs7192 yeah Shaun Of The Dead was definitely my favourite up until a few years ago when I watched Hot Fuzz for the first time since I saw it when it came out, I watch it at least once a year now!
This whole party started with a TV show called "SPACED" about a group of young Brits living in a house with a wacky Land Lady. The show was written by Jessica Hynes and Simon Pegg/Directed by Edgar Wright. It is out there somewhere on a streaming service and I totally recommend looking for it.
The screenplay for this movie is absolutely brilliant. It's a masterpiece of construction. If the Oscars took ccomedy seriously this should have been nominated for Best Original Screenplay.
There are so many brilliant actors in this for sure. Some already had long established careers whilst others were just about to explode to a much wider audience as they took on roles in Dr Who, Game of Thrones (and sometimes both).
This movie is absolutely fantastic. The set up and payoffs of jokes, the timing of the jokes, the cinematography and everything is just so great. All timer comedy and just an all timer film for me. While I love Shaun of the Dead I think this is probably Wright's best film. Edgar Wright is such a great filmmaker.
Filmmakers during preparation for this movie: "We want someone like Timothy Dalton for this role, but everyone we asked is busy." "Why not ask THE Timothy Dalton?" They did and he said yes. The rest is history.
If you love them this much, actors and directing, PLEASE watch Spaced. It's what started them all! Spaced has references that you will find from these films. The friend that saves them in SOTD, Yvonne, is the main costar. Hilarious show.
16:57 - 17:24 - "people say i'm missing so much but there's so much going on i have to talk over dialogue" - if only there were a pause button or something 😂😂
The thing with Danny (Nick Frosts character) is that he always had the makings of a good cop - he just needed the right guidence, the right mentor. Nicholas made Danny the cop he always had the potential to be. Also - fun trivia fact: In the original draft of the script, Nicholas was going to have a love interest . . . She got cut for time . . . But Simon Pegg and Nick Frost have such great on-screen chemistry that some of the dialogue between Nicholas and his love interest was just recycled and given to Nicholas & Danny verbatum instead. On the biscuits vs. cookies thing? I mean, my mum lived in America for a bit when she was younger so I have a few 'Americanisms' by accident. But generally - I've always viewed cookies as wide, soft biscuits (which, ironically, 'Maryland cookies' - a big brand over here in the UK - are not) and biscuits are hard and crunchy. American 'buiscuits' - that I've had the pleasure of trying when staying with friends in the south . . . I guess we'd say they're more like a bread or bread cake. Covering them in gravy would still be cool over here though. The UK loves gravy every bit as much as the south 🤣🤣 With a name like 'Holroyd' though, you can bet I have Yorkshire heritage and the only thing better than 'Biscuits & gravy' is 'Yorkshire puddings & gravy' 😅😅
First experience with Edgar Wright = the incomparable sitcom Spaced, which also introduced me to Simon Pegg & Nick Frost (who are best friends in real life, hence the chemistry)! Watch it if you are able, Angle (typo on purpose 😉)! Spaced led immediately on to Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz etc. A great filmmaker, is Wright. Lovely person, too
This is my favorite comedy movie of all time. It's literally the vertigo of comedies. Every time you watch it, you find something new and it literally only gets better upon revisits
You'd probably enjoy Die Hard. The screenwriter had an argument with his wife, then went out driving, and almost got into a deadly accident. He wrote the movie wondering, "what if that was the last thing I said to my wife?" As far as action movies go, it's extremely human and unafraid of emotion.
With the cookies and biscuits I would say you're mostly spot on. As someone from the UK I tend to go with the notion that if it's smaller than the palm of my hand and is crunchy it's a biscuit, if it's as big or bigger than the palm of my hand and is soft it's a cookie.
One of my favorite things in fiction, regardless of medium, is seeing non-heroic people rising up to do heroic things. MYSTERY MEN was a prime example of this, and so was HOT FUZZ. All of the cops in the station house, when push came to shove, chose to be the better aspect of themselves - even Nicholas. It made the climax so satisfying to watch characters make such a choice.
The Cornetto trilogy is a trilogy of three films with the same director, a lot of the cast, and a lot of the crew. I different flavour of Cornetto (a British ice cream) features briefly in each of the three films. They are three different stories, so more like an anthology collection, but they all have similar comedic beats, as well as Easter eggs that span the trilogy.
The thing I love most about hot fuzz is that the more you watch it the more things you see that you missed. The movie tells you everything before it happens. Sometimes just before, sometimes from ages before. It tells you everything while keeping it all below the surface, and the storyline itself is so fun you easily get lost in the moment. Love the movie. Everyone involved in the movie did an absolutely wonderful job.
This is the first time I've watched you but it was such a joy to watch you experience this movie for the first time -- I've shared it with all my friends and anyone else who would give it a chance 😂.
UK here, biscuits and cookies are similar. A sweet, flour based snack. The way i distinguish them, as i believe many others do is that biscuits are harder and a bit more dry. Cookies tend to be larger and have more gluten development making them more chewy. Biscuits are things like rich tea biscuits, chocolate bourbon biscuits, jammie dodgers and custard creams. There are some exceptions to the rule however, there is a company called maryland that makes chocolate chip cookies that fit the description i gave of biscuits. It's confusing. What Americans call biscuits, we call scones
The first time I saw this, a friend of mine showed it to me with me having zero prior knowledge of what it is about and what is going to happen. It was quite a ride.
The word cookie is derived from the Dutch woord koekje. Dutchies colonized north America and founded New Amsterdam (now New York) and there's some leftover loan words in American English (and a lot of New York neighbourhoods are named after Dutch places). More of a history fact than an explenation about cookies and biscuits but kinda fun I guess
I cannot wait for you to watch ”Paul”!! The unrated version is worth it it’s just a few more swears but the additional scenes in it are so so funny! ☺️
This really is the sort of film that needs to be watched 30 times to fully appreciate here’s things I noticed on my most recent watch through 1. Each superior officer is more famous (at the time in the uk) 2. He gets violent with a peace Lily 3. The greater good is never said only once 4. The good guys never kill anyone 5. The whole point of the paperwork being important is important and boring but somehow it’s made fun and exciting 6. You can see people in the background being subtlety evil 7. You can notice the change in the characters with dannie going from bumbling fool to effective cop and Nick goes from lawful good to chaotic good to lawful good within 30 mins
You've nailed the biscuit cookie thing. But we'll often refer to cookies under the biscuit banner My first experience of Edgar Wright was Spaced , which was the sitcom he did with Simon Pegg and Nick Frost. You can even see the genesis of some of these movies as there's a brief zombie scene in the series
If you're British, cookies and biscuits are two different things, Cookies are soft but when stale cookies go hard, Biscuits are hard but when stale biscuits go soft.
In England a biscuit is (an American) cookie. American biscuits are flour, baking powder, baking soda, butter and milk or buttermilk. They are mostly Southern, and often served with country gravy (made from 2 tbsp butter and flour cooked until it turns tan and then two cup milk is added.
''it's so well paced'' And that, is it's charm. the injokes, the fore-shadowing, the pacing, the everything. And how it all comes together. makes it SO good. Glad you enjoyed it :)
Great reaction! If you want to go back to the beginning (before they made movies) Simon Pegg & Nick Frost made a series called “Spaced” which is excellent. There are a lot references back to Spaced in movies like Sean of the Dead.
This is my favourite movie of all time. I dont think a better movie exists on a pure technical level. Every prop, every shot, every line of dialogue is saying 5 things at once and its all layered up in the tightest script ever written. Rewatches seriously make me love it more as i catch more and more references, double meanings, background details, and setups/payoffs
Exactly right - Take The Cake... Forgot to mention that in the supermarket scene when Simon Pegg runs after the shoplifter, Frost's character is looking in a DVD bargain bucket.... Blink and you'll miss, when he throws the "Supercop" DVD down, you can see a copy of "Zombie Party" in the bin (aka "Shaun of the Dead")
Great reaction, this movie and script is basically perfect imo every single second is either a set up or a pay-off not a moment is wasted. Also surprisingly gore filled. Also if you really enjoy the chemistry between these actors you should know they did whole tv sitcom together with the same director called 'Spaced' and it's pretty great.
“biscuits” could be cookies and chocolate bars that have biscuits/wafers in them (like twix or kitkat) but “cookies” are only biscuits hope this helps 😀
Not at all... kitkats and twixs and others are just called Chocolate Bars, never heard anyone call them otherwise; cookies are just the chocolate chip, softer; denser "biscuit". So in a sense cookies = soft dough biscuits = hard dough.
@@lukedodd2993 literally everyone ive ever met up and down the UK calls kitkats and stuff like that biscuits, maybe choccy biscuits to be more specific but chocolate bars are non-biscuity/non-wafery bars were im from
@@obsidiansteele I live in the UK, not a single person I know or met calls them a biscuit; they are also in the chocolate bar aisle not the biscuit aisle...
@@lukedodd2993 i also live in the uk so i guess our experiences are just very different. everyone i know calls them biscuits, thats not a matter of opinion thats literally just what i’ve always heard people call them. if thats not the same for you then fair enough but dont tell me im wrong when that’s literally just my firsthand experience lmaoo
The cast of actors are amazing. Simon Pegg and Nick Frost (who play Nicholas and Danny) are besties in rl. There are amazing list of people from some incredible films and tv programmes. Including Harry Potter, James Bond, Game of Thrones, The Queen and The Pirates of the Caribbean franchise. The two main characters have such good chemistry on screen because of their long friendship. It's my fav of the trilogy
This movie has the tightest writing EVER. Literally everything comes back around, not a single scene or line wasted. You barely noticed a fourth of it, which is normal for first time watchers
Once you've watched a LOT more old movies, you'll see this movie is absolutely strewn with movie references. The swan attacking in the care is from Jurassic Park when the dinosour takes out the programmer. Ed shooting into the air is straight out of Point Blank. It goes on and on and on ... Further, this is film is packed with A list stars. E.g. Doris is played by an Oscar winning actress.
I’m sure someone said it but “Yaaaarg” dude happens to be in a certain show with the thrones and the dragons but I’m sure someone said something earlier
“I have to talk over at some point”, you do know there’s a pause button? 😂 the commentary you make and the reactions are really good but still… THERES A PAUSE BUTTON 🤣🤣
HAHAHHAHA yes i know ~~ yall don’t understand how inconvenient/how many mistakes i make for the patreon cuts when I pause too often!! ITS FOR THE GREATER GOOD!
@@ANGELINAA Why you gotta use that quote on me 😂😂 I have seen many reactors don't even pause and it's ANNOYING lol and I even pause when I react to stuff (though I don't pause too often). I suppose it depends on what you're wanting to say about something you've watched. if you have only a brief thing to say then I guess it's fine, but if you have a lot to say........... pause the damn video!!😂 But yes, that's my honest critique as I am a variety UA-camr who also worries about whether or not I should pause or not. (I also make gaming videos, on horror a lot, so I don't need to pause lol) Also, I don't comment on your content that much and it's not because it's you or your content because I actually like you as a person! I just don't have much time as I take so much time making content as well and editing (sometimes making games too) but yeah. This ain't advertising, so don't worry lol. Just thought I should let you know that I know exactly how you feel about making content (difference is... I make content for free... currently... and you partially don't)
My first introduction to Edgar Wright was a TV comedy series called Asylum in 1996. But it was Spaced in 1999 that made me a fan. If you love Edgar Wright’s directing style, you will love Spaced, it has all those quick cuts. It was written by and stars Simon Pegg (of course) and Jessica Hynes (née Stephenson) as Tim, a comic book artist and Daisy, a writer, who fake a relationship to get a flat that’s advertised as “working couples only”. It was an episode of Spaced that inspired them to make Shaun of the Dead, in fact there’s several other cast members from the show in the movie. Hynes plays the leader of the other group of survivors, Peggy’s real life best friend (in his first acting role), Nick Frost, plays Tim’s best friend, Mike, a military enthusiast who was kicked out of the army for stealing a tank and trying to invade Paris, and Peter Serafinowicz, who was Pete, Shaun’s angry flat mate, and plays Dom, Tim’s love rival. It only ran for two seasons, but is a cult classic, well worth checking out, you’ll love it.
“Why haven’t I seen HOT FUZZ SOONER ?!?” Is what I still ask myself when it comes to all the reactors I’m subscribed to: How have this many people not seen the movies I grew up watching, I swear I feel like you all grew up in a isolated city or you all grew up Mormon… or something 😂
Well, Popcorn in Bed is clearly Mormon. A lot of people have strict religious parents that don’t let them watch movies when they’re kids. When they become adults, they’re not used to movies being a part of their life, so they don’t immediately watch everything they weren’t allowed to as kids.
I do love that there are 3 actors in this movie who were all in Harry Potter movies. One of which was also in Game of Thrones with another cast member. The director of The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit, with a prominent cast member from each, all three of them with bit parts. At least two well-known British comedians. This movie is nothing but wild. Oh, and so many references, winks, and nods to the many cop movies this film took inspiration from.
A couple of quick facts - Nick's gf at the start (Janine) is played by Cate Blanchett, the Santa that he fights in a flashback is Director Peter Jackson (Lord of The Rings etc), and Michael/Lurch/YARP is Rory McCann who played The Hound in Game of Thrones... This is absolutely one of my all-time favourite cop movies because, as you said quite a few times throughout your reaction, EVERYTHING about it is just so well crafted. The crossword stuff, the foreshadowing, the action, the editing, the fakeout ending, Danny's fakeout death...there really isn't a weak spot in ANY of it.
also apart from the guy she recognised as filch being walder frey obvs it’s funny that detective wainwright is King Viserys I and oh yeh and the chief is the grand maester in old town
You do talk far too much. You show 3 seconds of the movie and then talk for a full min. And you said it’s hard not to because there’s too much dialog but you ‘literally’ went on and on and on about bouncy houses. That just tells me you love hearing yourself talk. And you also say literally more times in one reaction than I have in my entire life.
"I'm a sucker for slapstick humor." Oh goody! I can make a recommendation! After you do The World's End (my favorite of the Cornetto trilogy), a fantastic early 2000s comedy to check is Rat Race.
This movie is a Hallmark movie. Career-obsessed person from the city, transferred to a small-town in the countryside (involuntarily), has trouble adjusting to the simple-life until he makes a new friend. All with a city takeover happening in the background, because they're building a shopping-center in town.
I KNOW THE MOVIE PAUL ISN’T PART OF THE TRILOGY BUT YOU ARE GOING TO LOVE PEGG AND FROSTS RELATIONSHIP IN THAT MOVIE TOO. + SETH ROGEN and lots of American celebrity cameos.
"Until he meets his one true love, sir Ed" Nicholas was originally going to have a female love interest, but she was scrapped and most of her lines were given to Danny/Ed.
Fun fact the hotel owner/receptionist was the Nanny in The Omen the older one, the head of the NWA was Edward Woodward from the tv series the Equaliser and from the Original Wickerman
the Play was based on the Romeo and Juliet film from 96 with DiCaprio and Claire Danes thats why it was different, additional fun fact the Man playing Romero IS actually a real Shakespearian Actor and has done a lot of theatre work (he was also in a tv series in the UK called shameless) and Skinner is James Bond Himself, Nick Frost and Simon Pegg are best friends, they worked on a tv series called spaced Nick had his own tv series called Hyperdrive a british comedy
I'm American but lived in the UK for several years. Biscuits are basically what we in America would call hard cookies, but soft cookies are often called just cookies. In the US, of course, they're all just cookies and American biscuits are very, very different and not actually a thing in the UK. Scones are similar, but more like a dense bread than a light fluffy biscuit is.
There were some great nuances to this film. The best one i found was if you listen to the scenes where skinner is driving, the music he is playing though the car radio is relevant to the murder that just happened. I.E. when the actors died, he was playing Romeo and Juliet by dire straits. And he was playing fire when the house was blown up. Great aspects to the film

They never thought he would say yes, cause he is a huge star (played 007 for example), but well, he did. And it turned out that to this day this is still considered by Dalton as one of his greatest experiences filming a movie ever.

The Cornetto trilogy is more of a thematic trilogy as opposed to what you'd typically expect. Each film is its own separate thing, but are connected by similar themes and ideas, recurring cast members, certain jokes (such as the fence-hopping) and the Cornetto itself, which is a type of ice cream fairly popular in the UK, with each film featuring a different flavour (and colour) to coincide with the film's genre

Hot Fuzz is a serious contender for my all-time favorite comedy. Everything is executed perfectly, and there are a lot of little details that you'll only notice on repeat viewings. One fun bit of trivia is that Nick had a love interest in the first draft of the script. She was written out... and her lines were given to Danny. Two of the Best Village judges that show up near the end are the mothers of Edgar Wright and and Simon Pegg. Cate Blanchett and Peter Jackson make hidden cameos near the beginning as Jeanine and Father Christmas. Also, Sandford IRL is actually Wells, Somerset, the hometown of Edgar Wright; the footchase scene was filmed in the alley where Wright walked to school every day as a kid. There are tons of other interesting facts about the production, so you should probably listen to the director's commentary if you ever do a rewatch.
The growth of Danny is this movie often slips by. Referring to his mom's death as a traffic collision, instead of accident. Using the note pad, and the ketchup, to stab Nick. The Manpower line at the end. When you rewatch it, (because why would you not) look for those little tidbits. Also Danny got to do all the things he asked about. Shooting while jumping though the air, shoot gun up in the air going Ahhhhhh ect.
Anyone who wears a Bristol Rovers football shirt is all right by me,when he was watching those films...
Pretty much everything throughout the movie, every sentence, every prop is either foreshadowing or resolution. Its just great :D
That stage play wasn't just Romeo and Juliet, it was an adaptation of the 90s film version of Romeo and Juliet starring a little lad named Leonardo DiCaprio in the role that first got him famous.
Edit: Where did Skinner learn to fight like that? He did play James Bond.
Did you not watch Critters 3?
Something that not one reactor seems to notice. Every time Skinner drives past a crime scene, a song related to each is playing on his car radio.
The decapitation, Romeo and Juliet by Dire Straits, the house explosion, Fire by The Crazy World of Arthur Brown. Etc
I think over the years Hot Fuzz slowly overtook Shaun of the Dead as my favorite. I love how it starts out as a sort of Mystery/Thriller and then one second it just becomes a full blown action movie.
I definitely prefer hot fuzz over again of the dead easily tbh
This is one of my go to movies to fall asleep to because I've seen it so many times that it makes me feel comfy and stimulated without needing my full attention. I'm glad you've discovered it.
One thing to note with the Cornetto trilogy: As someone who watched all three plenty of times, you can't help but notice when first time viewers try to guess the twist and end up being validated by their guess when in actuality they twists and plot points have been telegraphed either in the background, dialogues, wordplay, props, etc. But it's nice to see the genuine joy people have when they get to the conclusions though. Adorable, really.
Timothy Dalton - the most underrated of all the actors who have played James Bond. 🍸
If Angelina got into reacting to James Bond movies, I'd be all over that
Agreed 👍👏🏻🇬🇧
Both his Bond films are fire. The Living Daylights is my fav
@@marlonthemarvellous Those films were honestly ahead of their time, I'm super glad they've both getting a lot more appreciation recently
@@marlonthemarvellous Licence to Kill gets the slight edge for me, but I really like both of them.
"Friendship chemistry" is very much a real thing. In casting, if you make serious contention...there's always a chemistry reading with an established casted talent.
Woo! That was fun, thank you for doing the reaction, and thanks to the editors (esp. for covering the gore), way cool. And yasss fun film. : )
Even the bit parts are filled by amazing actors. The female officer is Olivia Colman, who won an Oscar a few years ago. The 'Lurch' character is The Hound from GAME OF THRONES. And even Dalton's secretary is Alice Lowe, who wrote, directed and starred in a great horror movie called PREVENGE.
You missed another Game of Thrones actor. The old farmer with the mine is the dude responsible for the Red Wedding, Walder Frey
Don't forget Cate Blanchett
And Peter Jackson as Santa.
One of the Andies is played by Paddy Considine who’s recently been in HotD as Viserys I
@@XSecretMistakesX He's a phenomenal actor. If you get a chance watch a movie called DEAD MAN'S SHOES.
Nick Frost actually used to be a server in the restaurant that Simon frequented, he always made Simon laugh and that's how he got his break into acting. I think it was the TV series 'Spaced' where Nick got a roll as a gun nut fantasist/survivalist with Simon.
Spaced is so good.
He makes a very brief appearance in the sketch comedy series "Big Train" before that (which had Simon Pegg as a member of the cast). If I remember he's a builder wolf whistling a....a..... I can't explain it.
@@pitmatix1457 No chance that's streaming anywhere, is there?
They were even closer than that, they were flatmates. In fact, Simon had so much fun fooling around and joking with Nick that he suggested he try acting as a job, (hence his role in Spaced).
@@RickLeMonI think on the UK's "Channel 4 Online" and on Prime. I'm not sure if you can access those from outside of the UK without a VPN though.
It also came out on DVD if you still have a player.
This movie is incredible. There are a bunch of phenomenal actors giving it their all, and the attention to detail is staggering. Like, for instance, if Arthur Wembley hadn't been clipping those hedgerows, when Danny and Nicholas went to dive over them to avoid the sea mine, they wouldn't have been able to. It was only because he clipped them that it was short enough for them to dive over. Or how all the members of the NWA have really sinister names (Butcher, Hatcher, Skinner, etc.). It's one of those movies you can watch multiple times and catch something new every time.
Similarities between Anglina and Nicholas Angle
1. Both haven’t watched Die Hard or Bad boys 2.(he watches it later in the movie)
2. Both get their names spelled wrong by other people (just like me, i know i did it for comic effect, don’t come after me grammar nazis)
3. Both of them didn’t get the agnostic joke.
Hence proven Anglina=Nicholas Angle
HAHAHHAHAHAH i hate how i am so similar to him. pls dont purge me from the content world
The title “Hot Fuzz” is because “fuzz” is slang for police and the filmmakers were parodying the frequent use of two-word titles for 80s/90s action movies. It’s also a nod to the Killers’ debut album “Hot Fuss”, the poster for that album is shown briefly in one of the scenes.
Throughout the film they reference many classic 80s and 90s cop action movies, such as Callahan park, Callahan was one of the characters from Lethal weapon
Which is itself a reference to there being multiple killers.
After you've finished the Cornetto trilogy please add 'Paul' to the list, it's hilarious
Paul is pretty mediocre, especially compared to the cornetto trilogy
Paul is fantastic, as long as you watch the Unrated Version.
@@Kaazikin compared to those three, i wouldn't say mediocre, just not as good, but as a tribute movie to other Syfy movies it's pretty good
But it's not though...
Loved Paul
So many great jokes in this movie. One of my favourite smaller jokes is the "Aaron A. Aaronson" callback near the end.
First thing anyone should do after watching Hot Fuzz, is watch Hot Fuzz again to notice all the set ups and hints and foreshadowing. Also to hear some of the great jokes you spoke over lol :P
the outtakes for this film in particular are some of the funniest outtakes from any movie! plus there's one little scene where the 2 detectives are arguing with nick and they exit the frame one at a time and then one of them pops his head back in frame for a second before leaving again.. it cracks me up EVERY time and i'll even laugh just thinking about it
The spray of lynx and pub? 😆
@@calvinjohnstone2664 one of my favorites is how he can't keep it together when meeting the detectives and the one guy is just holding the bite of cake near his mouth lol
Edgar Wright is my favorite director, hands down. It's so hard to pick a favorite film of his because they're all so good. Baby Driver, Scott Pilgrim, Cornetto trilogy, Spaced, Last Night in Soho, just put them all on a loop for me and I'll be happy. Glad to see more people appreciate his work!
The reason their friendship chemistry is so good, is because they are IRL friends. They used to be in a show together called Spaced that has a cult following. A lot of the cast in Sean of The Dead are from that show and the extra's who played zombies were fans who did it for £1. they would have done it for free but there was some legal reason that meant they needed to be paid.
Definitely watch this at least two more times on your own, there’s so much everyone misses the first time around 😂👍
This. While I really enjoyed it the first go round, it wasn’t until my 2nd & 3rd viewing that I truly started to see how genius the screenplay & acting were. After the first viewing, I would’ve said that Shaun of the Dead was still my favorite of the two. 20 minutes into my 2nd viewing, that order had changed.
@@goldenageofdinosaurs7192 yeah Shaun Of The Dead was definitely my favourite up until a few years ago when I watched Hot Fuzz for the first time since I saw it when it came out, I watch it at least once a year now!
This whole party started with a TV show called "SPACED" about a group of young Brits living in a house with a wacky Land Lady. The show was written by Jessica Hynes and Simon Pegg/Directed by Edgar Wright. It is out there somewhere on a streaming service and I totally recommend looking for it.
12:58 The production of Romeo and Juliet is based upon the 1996 film "Romeo + Juliet" by Baz Luhrmann, starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Claire Danes.
One of the funniest buddy cop action comedy movies ever made!
The screenplay for this movie is absolutely brilliant. It's a masterpiece of construction.
If the Oscars took ccomedy seriously this should have been nominated for Best Original Screenplay.
It's so weird seeing Olivia Colman in this movie after all this time knowing her role as the Queen on The Crown. One of the best actress out there
There are so many brilliant actors in this for sure. Some already had long established careers whilst others were just about to explode to a much wider audience as they took on roles in Dr Who, Game of Thrones (and sometimes both).
Oscar winning actress 😊😊
This movie is absolutely fantastic. The set up and payoffs of jokes, the timing of the jokes, the cinematography and everything is just so great. All timer comedy and just an all timer film for me. While I love Shaun of the Dead I think this is probably Wright's best film. Edgar Wright is such a great filmmaker.
Filmmakers during preparation for this movie: "We want someone like Timothy Dalton for this role, but everyone we asked is busy." "Why not ask THE Timothy Dalton?" They did and he said yes. The rest is history.
If you love them this much, actors and directing, PLEASE watch Spaced. It's what started them all! Spaced has references that you will find from these films. The friend that saves them in SOTD, Yvonne, is the main costar. Hilarious show.
16:57 - 17:24 - "people say i'm missing so much but there's so much going on i have to talk over dialogue" - if only there were a pause button or something 😂😂
The thing with Danny (Nick Frosts character) is that he always had the makings of a good cop - he just needed the right guidence, the right mentor. Nicholas made Danny the cop he always had the potential to be.
Also - fun trivia fact:
In the original draft of the script, Nicholas was going to have a love interest . . . She got cut for time . . . But Simon Pegg and Nick Frost have such great on-screen chemistry that some of the dialogue between Nicholas and his love interest was just recycled and given to Nicholas & Danny verbatum instead.
On the biscuits vs. cookies thing?
I mean, my mum lived in America for a bit when she was younger so I have a few 'Americanisms' by accident.
But generally - I've always viewed cookies as wide, soft biscuits (which, ironically, 'Maryland cookies' - a big brand over here in the UK - are not) and biscuits are hard and crunchy.
American 'buiscuits' - that I've had the pleasure of trying when staying with friends in the south . . . I guess we'd say they're more like a bread or bread cake.
Covering them in gravy would still be cool over here though. The UK loves gravy every bit as much as the south 🤣🤣
With a name like 'Holroyd' though, you can bet I have Yorkshire heritage and the only thing better than 'Biscuits & gravy' is 'Yorkshire puddings & gravy' 😅😅
First experience with Edgar Wright = the incomparable sitcom Spaced, which also introduced me to Simon Pegg & Nick Frost (who are best friends in real life, hence the chemistry)! Watch it if you are able, Angle (typo on purpose 😉)! Spaced led immediately on to Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz etc. A great filmmaker, is Wright. Lovely person, too
This is my favorite comedy movie of all time. It's literally the vertigo of comedies. Every time you watch it, you find something new and it literally only gets better upon revisits
So glad you're reacting to this!
You'd probably enjoy Die Hard. The screenwriter had an argument with his wife, then went out driving, and almost got into a deadly accident. He wrote the movie wondering, "what if that was the last thing I said to my wife?" As far as action movies go, it's extremely human and unafraid of emotion.
With the cookies and biscuits I would say you're mostly spot on. As someone from the UK I tend to go with the notion that if it's smaller than the palm of my hand and is crunchy it's a biscuit, if it's as big or bigger than the palm of my hand and is soft it's a cookie.
What about Maryland cookies?
@@amyw6808 yeah well, they're a cookie made to go in packets alongside biscuits - in terms of supermarket shelves.
One of my favorite things in fiction, regardless of medium, is seeing non-heroic people rising up to do heroic things. MYSTERY MEN was a prime example of this, and so was HOT FUZZ. All of the cops in the station house, when push came to shove, chose to be the better aspect of themselves - even Nicholas. It made the climax so satisfying to watch characters make such a choice.
The Cornetto trilogy is a trilogy of three films with the same director, a lot of the cast, and a lot of the crew. I different flavour of Cornetto (a British ice cream) features briefly in each of the three films.
They are three different stories, so more like an anthology collection, but they all have similar comedic beats, as well as Easter eggs that span the trilogy.
The thing I love most about hot fuzz is that the more you watch it the more things you see that you missed. The movie tells you everything before it happens. Sometimes just before, sometimes from ages before. It tells you everything while keeping it all below the surface, and the storyline itself is so fun you easily get lost in the moment. Love the movie. Everyone involved in the movie did an absolutely wonderful job.
This is the first time I've watched you but it was such a joy to watch you experience this movie for the first time -- I've shared it with all my friends and anyone else who would give it a chance 😂.
UK here, biscuits and cookies are similar. A sweet, flour based snack. The way i distinguish them, as i believe many others do is that biscuits are harder and a bit more dry. Cookies tend to be larger and have more gluten development making them more chewy. Biscuits are things like rich tea biscuits, chocolate bourbon biscuits, jammie dodgers and custard creams. There are some exceptions to the rule however, there is a company called maryland that makes chocolate chip cookies that fit the description i gave of biscuits. It's confusing. What Americans call biscuits, we call scones
The first time I saw this, a friend of mine showed it to me with me having zero prior knowledge of what it is about and what is going to happen. It was quite a ride.
The word cookie is derived from the Dutch woord koekje. Dutchies colonized north America and founded New Amsterdam (now New York) and there's some leftover loan words in American English (and a lot of New York neighbourhoods are named after Dutch places). More of a history fact than an explenation about cookies and biscuits but kinda fun I guess
I cannot wait for you to watch ”Paul”!! The unrated version is worth it it’s just a few more swears but the additional scenes in it are so so funny! ☺️
This really is the sort of film that needs to be watched 30 times to fully appreciate here’s things I noticed on my most recent watch through
1. Each superior officer is more famous (at the time in the uk)
2. He gets violent with a peace Lily
3. The greater good is never said only once
4. The good guys never kill anyone
5. The whole point of the paperwork being important is important and boring but somehow it’s made fun and exciting
6. You can see people in the background being subtlety evil
7. You can notice the change in the characters with dannie going from bumbling fool to effective cop and Nick goes from lawful good to chaotic good to lawful good within 30 mins
You've nailed the biscuit cookie thing. But we'll often refer to cookies under the biscuit banner
My first experience of Edgar Wright was Spaced , which was the sitcom he did with Simon Pegg and Nick Frost. You can even see the genesis of some of these movies as there's a brief zombie scene in the series
If you're British, cookies and biscuits are two different things, Cookies are soft but when stale cookies go hard, Biscuits are hard but when stale biscuits go soft.
In England a biscuit is (an American) cookie.
American biscuits are flour, baking powder, baking soda, butter and milk or buttermilk. They are mostly Southern, and often served with country gravy (made from 2 tbsp butter and flour cooked until it turns tan and then two cup milk is added.
Did you notice the trolley boy Michael was the hound from GOT
Which also means he voiced Duke Vedemire in Legend of Vox Machina that was watched here :)
One of the two dumb cops (with the mustache) is also Vyserys in HotD
Viserys Targaryen, and The Hound all in the same movie. And Olivia Coleman (went on to win an academy award) telling dirty jokes is great.
''it's so well paced''
And that, is it's charm. the injokes, the fore-shadowing, the pacing, the everything. And how it all comes together. makes it SO good.
Glad you enjoyed it :)
Great reaction! If you want to go back to the beginning (before they made movies) Simon Pegg & Nick Frost made a series called “Spaced” which is excellent. There are a lot references back to Spaced in movies like Sean of the Dead.
This is my favourite movie of all time. I dont think a better movie exists on a pure technical level. Every prop, every shot, every line of dialogue is saying 5 things at once and its all layered up in the tightest script ever written.
Rewatches seriously make me love it more as i catch more and more references, double meanings, background details, and setups/payoffs
As far as your commentary mam...they invented a pause button 2or300 yrs ago ✌️
Exactly right - Take The Cake... Forgot to mention that in the supermarket scene when Simon Pegg runs after the shoplifter, Frost's character is looking in a DVD bargain bucket.... Blink and you'll miss, when he throws the "Supercop" DVD down, you can see a copy of "Zombie Party" in the bin (aka "Shaun of the Dead")
Correct, in the UK all Cookies are considered Biscuits. Not all Biscuits are Cookies... and then you have the Jaffa Cake debate.
lol i just posted about this above, yep the great jaffa cake debate
Great reaction, this movie and script is basically perfect imo every single second is either a set up or a pay-off not a moment is wasted. Also surprisingly gore filled.
Also if you really enjoy the chemistry between these actors you should know they did whole tv sitcom together with the same director called 'Spaced' and it's pretty great.
“biscuits” could be cookies and chocolate bars that have biscuits/wafers in them (like twix or kitkat) but “cookies” are only biscuits hope this helps 😀
Not at all... kitkats and twixs and others are just called Chocolate Bars, never heard anyone call them otherwise; cookies are just the chocolate chip, softer; denser "biscuit".
So in a sense cookies = soft dough
biscuits = hard dough.
@@lukedodd2993 literally everyone ive ever met up and down the UK calls kitkats and stuff like that biscuits, maybe choccy biscuits to be more specific but chocolate bars are non-biscuity/non-wafery bars were im from
@@obsidiansteele I live in the UK, not a single person I know or met calls them a biscuit; they are also in the chocolate bar aisle not the biscuit aisle...
@@lukedodd2993 i also live in the uk so i guess our experiences are just very different. everyone i know calls them biscuits, thats not a matter of opinion thats literally just what i’ve always heard people call them. if thats not the same for you then fair enough but dont tell me im wrong when that’s literally just my firsthand experience lmaoo
Fun Fact: the curved glass on the counter in the supermarket was 'bulletproof' because it was expensive to replace.
Also Danny's dad was professor Slughorn
The magic of this movie is in the rewatch value. You will always find something new that you missed.
The Fuzz is a term we use for the police, I guess it's hot because of all the action
Look at his arze
The cast of actors are amazing. Simon Pegg and Nick Frost (who play Nicholas and Danny) are besties in rl. There are amazing list of people from some incredible films and tv programmes. Including Harry Potter, James Bond, Game of Thrones, The Queen and The Pirates of the Caribbean franchise. The two main characters have such good chemistry on screen because of their long friendship. It's my fav of the trilogy
I have to admit every time she smiles I'm happy 😊
This movie has the tightest writing EVER. Literally everything comes back around, not a single scene or line wasted. You barely noticed a fourth of it, which is normal for first time watchers
Timothy Dalton so hilarious in this.
You seem to have amazing empathy, you kept making comments as if you were a character in the movie, that's so sweet ^^
"I haven't seen Die Hard."
No. Nope nope. This is something you need to correct right now.
Definitely needs to be watched for around Christmas

Once you've watched a LOT more old movies, you'll see this movie is absolutely strewn with movie references. The swan attacking in the care is from Jurassic Park when the dinosour takes out the programmer. Ed shooting into the air is straight out of Point Blank. It goes on and on and on ... Further, this is film is packed with A list stars. E.g. Doris is played by an Oscar winning actress.

My first introduction to Edgar Wright was a TV comedy series called Asylum in 1996. But it was Spaced in 1999 that made me a fan. If you love Edgar Wright’s directing style, you will love Spaced, it has all those quick cuts. It was written by and stars Simon Pegg (of course) and Jessica Hynes (née Stephenson) as Tim, a comic book artist and Daisy, a writer, who fake a relationship to get a flat that’s advertised as “working couples only”. It was an episode of Spaced that inspired them to make Shaun of the Dead, in fact there’s several other cast members from the show in the movie. Hynes plays the leader of the other group of survivors, Peggy’s real life best friend (in his first acting role), Nick Frost, plays Tim’s best friend, Mike, a military enthusiast who was kicked out of the army for stealing a tank and trying to invade Paris, and Peter Serafinowicz, who was Pete, Shaun’s angry flat mate, and plays Dom, Tim’s love rival. It only ran for two seasons, but is a cult classic, well worth checking out, you’ll love it.
“Why haven’t I seen HOT FUZZ SOONER ?!?” Is what I still ask myself when it comes to all the reactors I’m subscribed to:
How have this many people not seen the movies I grew up watching, I swear I feel like you all grew up in a isolated city or you all grew up Mormon… or something 😂
Well, Popcorn in Bed is clearly Mormon. A lot of people have strict religious parents that don’t let them watch movies when they’re kids. When they become adults, they’re not used to movies being a part of their life, so they don’t immediately watch everything they weren’t allowed to as kids.

I do love that there are 3 actors in this movie who were all in Harry Potter movies. One of which was also in Game of Thrones with another cast member. The director of The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit, with a prominent cast member from each, all three of them with bit parts. At least two well-known British comedians. This movie is nothing but wild.
Oh, and so many references, winks, and nods to the many cop movies this film took inspiration from.
A couple of quick facts - Nick's gf at the start (Janine) is played by Cate Blanchett, the Santa that he fights in a flashback is Director Peter Jackson (Lord of The Rings etc), and Michael/Lurch/YARP is Rory McCann who played The Hound in Game of Thrones...
This is absolutely one of my all-time favourite cop movies because, as you said quite a few times throughout your reaction, EVERYTHING about it is just so well crafted. The crossword stuff, the foreshadowing, the action, the editing, the fakeout ending, Danny's fakeout death...there really isn't a weak spot in ANY of it.
also apart from the guy she recognised as filch being walder frey obvs it’s funny that detective wainwright is King Viserys I and oh yeh and the chief is the grand maester in old town
A police officer I'm acquainted with says that the first half of this is the most realistic depiction of rural policing he's ever seen.
Going to be a great movie.
One of my favorite films. I love the twist half way in where they had been setting up a reason why everything is happening then it jumps right around
You do talk far too much. You show 3 seconds of the movie and then talk for a full min. And you said it’s hard not to because there’s too much dialog but you ‘literally’ went on and on and on about bouncy houses. That just tells me you love hearing yourself talk. And you also say literally more times in one reaction than I have in my entire life.
There are so many absolutely amazing moments in this film

"I'm a sucker for slapstick humor."
Oh goody! I can make a recommendation! After you do The World's End (my favorite of the Cornetto trilogy), a fantastic early 2000s comedy to check is Rat Race.
Please watch STAR TREK. Give it a chance! 🖖
This is a pretty vague request
This movie is a Hallmark movie.
Career-obsessed person from the city, transferred to a small-town in the countryside (involuntarily), has trouble adjusting to the simple-life until he makes a new friend. All with a city takeover happening in the background, because they're building a shopping-center in town.
To much narration…sorry
My God, female reactors love the sound of their own voice.

I KNOW THE MOVIE PAUL ISN’T PART OF THE TRILOGY BUT YOU ARE GOING TO LOVE PEGG AND FROSTS RELATIONSHIP IN THAT MOVIE TOO.
+ SETH ROGEN and lots of American celebrity cameos.
"Until he meets his one true love, sir Ed"
Nicholas was originally going to have a female love interest, but she was scrapped and most of her lines were given to Danny/Ed.
When she said that, I knew she was on this movie's wavelength 😂
Fun fact the hotel owner/receptionist was the Nanny in The Omen the older one, the head of the NWA was Edward Woodward from the tv series the Equaliser and from the Original Wickerman
the Play was based on the Romeo and Juliet film from 96 with DiCaprio and Claire Danes thats why it was different, additional fun fact the Man playing Romero IS actually a real Shakespearian Actor and has done a lot of theatre work (he was also in a tv series in the UK called shameless) and Skinner is James Bond Himself, Nick Frost and Simon Pegg are best friends, they worked on a tv series called spaced Nick had his own tv series called Hyperdrive a british comedy
I'm American but lived in the UK for several years. Biscuits are basically what we in America would call hard cookies, but soft cookies are often called just cookies. In the US, of course, they're all just cookies and American biscuits are very, very different and not actually a thing in the UK. Scones are similar, but more like a dense bread than a light fluffy biscuit is.
There were some great nuances to this film. The best one i found was if you listen to the scenes where skinner is driving, the music he is playing though the car radio is relevant to the murder that just happened. I.E. when the actors died, he was playing Romeo and Juliet by dire straits. And he was playing fire when the house was blown up. Great aspects to the film
