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.
Yeah this sort of scene set up often brings fascinating insights into actors. I've heard a few anecdotes like that. Respect to Dalton for coming in for a whole day though. Being a relatively 'big name' he could have taken liberties.
This is quite possibly one of the tightest wound movies i've ever seen. Not a single shot is fluff, not a single shot is wasted and there are SO MANY hidden gems of jokes in there. The Cornetto Trilogy is well up there among the best comedies out there, but this one in particular just does it so well. The world's end is another gem you'd love.
"Paul is better than The World's End", a sentence I've heard quite a few times, should be a punishable offence in my opinion. I think the broad easy comedy of Paul is easier to appreciate, but The World's End is so much smarter and rewatchable.
@@SirHilaryManfat I dunno. Paul is fantastic. World's End STILL hasn't really grabbed me, but I've only seen it a few times. Hot Fuzz actually took a while too (I missed their characters from Shawn of the Dead), and now I love Hot Fuzz the most. So I'll watch TWE again. But Paul was great - have watched it numerous times.
She really has come a long way… her little quips and jokes make for a good laugh. That blonde hair still shines from time to time, but still brightens the day.
Right at the Beginning his girlfriend Janine in The Mask is actually Cate Blanchett she wanted to do a cameo in the film because she loves Shaun of the Dead so much
So funny that they got Cate Blanchett in the movie and then don't even show her face. It's like when South Park cast George Clooney to play a dog, lol.
Sergeant Angel's ex-girlfriend, Janine the crime scene forensic investigator Jeanine is played, uncredited, by Cate Blanchett. Lord of the Rings Director Peter Jackson, also uncredited, plays the Santa Claus who stabs Sergeant Angel through the hand.
5:02 Academy Award winning director Peter Jackson 6:12 Academy Award winning actress Kate Blanchett 9:35 Bond. James Bond. 10:24 Academy Award winning actress Olivia Coleman
I love that when Timothy Dalton (an accomplished stage actor himself) turns up at the "vehicle incident" he's quoting the play and Dire Strait's Romeo and Juliet is on the car radio.
The true magic of this film comes from watching it the second time. The film is laid out so obviously and hilariously, it’s almost embarrassing how much goes over one’s head the first time.
This film has so many brilliant moments. From anything the 2 Andys say to the fact the station desk clerk is an identical twin and you only find out at the end
I love that you picked up on the writing. The script is so tight and full of jokes, every line is either a setup or a payoff. Not a single wasted line or shot in the whole movie. It's in my top 3 favorite comedies for sure.
It’s truly one of the greatest scripts ever. I’ve seen this film innumerable times & I stIll pick up on little things I hadn’t noticed before. It’s pretty incredible.
One of my favorites that most seem to miss is the detective saying in the country "everyone and their mum" has a gun and the first people he faces off are the farmer and his mum, both packing.
While I don’t expect reactors to get all the British folk horror references I am always surprised how fast Baz Lurman’s Romeo + Juliet disappeared from the collective consciousness.
So many great little gags like George Merchant being the "Fridge Magnate", and Doris referring to the pig on the spit with, "That's me after a couple of pints!" You can watch this 20 times and pick up on new things each time.
Every time I watch Hot Fuzz I see something I hadn't before. At 10:18 sergeant Fisher is surrounded by thought bubbles on the whiteboard; 'Indecisive', 'lack of leadership skills', 'non-commital'. They all describe him. A great visual gag!
What an amazing movie. The more times you watch it, the better it gets. Layers upon layers of foreshadowing and jokes in a really tight script. Edgar Wright at his best.
Edgar Wright is the zoned out clerk at the Heston services. Also, the two women adjudicators are Simon's and Edgar's mothers. Lots of foreshadowing at the church fete.
Also, its funny that in the script his character is forced to go to Gloucestershire, because Simon Pegg was born and raised in Gloucestershire in real life.
This is to action-buddy-cop-thrillers what "Galaxy Quest" is to sci-fi flicks: both a complete and beat-for-beat send-up of the genre as well as an absolute love-letter to the films it's spoofing. So much so that it actually serves as a perfect example of said genre. And the way that the cast, top-to-bottom, commits to the bit and never once "winks at the audience" just elevates both films even further.
15:00 Simon Pegg jumped over all the fences himself except the last one, which was done by a stunt actor with a trampoline (hence the backflip). Nicholas Frost did the fall through the fence himself, and looked back on purpose so that the camera saw that it was him and not a stunt actor.
All the actors who were part of the Village Green Society were famous in British TV and movies for portraying detectives, police officers, and secret agents (the good guys). When looking for someone to play Skinner, Simon and Edgar were looking for someone like Timothy Dalton, when one of them got the idea (each of them claim it was the other) to actually ask the James Bond alumni if he wanted to be in their little film. And he did. HIs only acting direction was, apparently, to "ham it up." There is a huge amount of top British acting talent in this movie, even in what are effectively cameo roles. The Cornetto Trilogy is only connected by director, writers, lead actors, and theme - the deconstruction of a film genre, in this case police buddy movies. Danny (Nick Frost) was in fact originally written as Nicholas' (Simon Pegg) female love interest. Changing the sex, but not the dialogue, lost nothing out of the classic cop buddy relationship. Like all of Edgar's movies it has his hallmark of very tight editing (and music cues). There is not a wasted scene or line of dialogue. Checkov's gun is in fact a whole armory here. The direction is the reason why it is always in my top three movies of all time.
Would take all day to list that casts awards & film & TV credits . Form the Queen to Bond to the original Equaliser ( not that guff on yank TV now ) & the small fact that Simon is kinda the hero in the MI movies too ,pretty impressive
Hot Fuzz is one of those movies you can watch again and again, and it still feels fresh. The cast is a who's who of talent, finding out who they are is fun in itself. Edited by Chris Dickens, who won an Oscar for Slumdog Millionaire the following year. Over 5000 cuts in this movie, a masterclass in the craft. Such a great great fun movie 🍿
Nobody mentioning that the head of the village watch was Edward Woodward, AKA The Equalizer, AKA the star of The Wicker Man (also starring Christopher Lee)? Now *there's* a stone-cold classic to watch...
The original Wicker Man would require so much editing to blank out the bits of the human body that You Tube wants to deny it could take longer to edit than watch the film. It is a great film within a sub-genre of Horror. There are no ghosts, spectres nor poltergeists only the human mind and its willingness to bend at the knee.
Edward Woodward was married to Michelle Dotrice who starred in Some Mothers do 'ave 'em with Michael Crawford who was in A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum with Zero Mostel who was in The Producers, which was directed by Mel Brooks who was married to Anne Bancroft who starred in The Graduate with Dustin Hoffman who was in Rain Man with Tom Cruise who was in A few Good Men with Demi Moore who was in Ghost with Patrick Swayze who was in Point Break which was referenced in this movie. (A bit tenuous I know).
that was Bill Bailey as the twins on reception. if you don't know him he's one of the UK's top comedians, a musical genius and won Strictly Come Dance (Dancing with the Stars to you)
14:34 - never noticed it before but look at the scene where he drops the dvd down. It lands on Shaun Of The Dead. And there's a sticker covering Simon Pegg's face on the cover
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.
Keep in mind when Dalton quotes Shakespeare that before he WAS James Bond he was famous as a Shakespearean actor. Love the inside humour in this movie.
This is part 2 of a trilogy. It's called the "Three Flavours Cornetto Trilogy" Cornettos are ice cream cones. They get eaten at some point in the movie. 1. Strawberry Cornetto = "Shaun of the Dead". 2. Vanilla (Classico) Cornetto = Hot Fuzz 3. Mint Cornetto = "The World's End".
He's also Callan in the 1967-72 itv spy series "Callan"and a 1974 film "Callan" directed by Don Sharp. Not to mention that he's the star of the 1973 film "The Wicker Man" which has influenced this film.
It’s awesome how far you’ve come. From someone that had no movie going experience, to pretty much pointing out references and characters from other movies. 🙌
Everybody recognizing Edward Woodward as the original "Equalizer" 1987 makes me feel old as I watched him as Callan int 1967-72 TV spy series and 1974 film "Callan" But nobody seems to have mentioned that he was the star of the 1973 film " The Wicker Man" whose influences run through "Hot Fuzz". Should be on any film fans list.
Actually the film is inspired by the 1976 series "Children of the Stones" shot in the village of Avebury. its where they got the phrase "The Greater Good" from.
An insanely excellent film - superb script, brilliant cast, wonderful references to other action classics, two songs from The Kinks on the soundtrack, absolutely wonderful chemistry between Pegg and Frost...and my man Timothy Dalton! He was so delightfully boo-hiss here - a fabulous villain! Excellent reaction, Cassie - I thoroughly recommend The Rocketeer from 1991, a glorious comic-book adventure set in the 1930s with another truly marvellous Dalton performance.
This was hilarious , British humor at it's best here one of my favorites from Director Edgar Wright and yes it's a black comedy 😄 great reaction that really livened my evening Cheers for this Cassie !
@@goldenageofdinosaurs7192 most reactors are people with no real movie experience, so unless they've reacted to it or just have been lucky enough to have watched it, they're not gonna recognize it.
@@this.is.a.username Yeah, perhaps simply by virtue of it being Shakespeare, it's been relegated to merely the teaching of the play? I'm talking very broadly of course. And it is a shame, certainly it wasn't considered a flop! Some very decent performances and from memory actually some interesting cinematography as well.
Greatest of at least the most underrated line: When Kenneth is told he can't just make people disappear he answers "Yes I can. I'm the Chief Inspector".
35:26 Here's one I had to have pointed out to me: the Barker twins, Roger and Martin -- that's a reference to Lethal Weapon (Roger Murtaugh and Martin Riggs, a.k.a. Danny Glover and Mel Gibson).
Hot Fuzz described in four words: Reference, Setup, Payoff, Joke There are no scenes, and almost no lines, in this movie are not one of the above. It is one of the greatest movies of all time in my opinion because of how perfectly essential every bit of it is. Nothing is wasted, everything is setup and paid off, and no other movie ever made has come even vaguely close to that level of perfection.
This is one of my favorite movies you've done on this channel. Also one of the most rewatchable. The entire cast gives a master class of acting, and the writing is perfect. Glad you enjoyed
This is easily my favorite Edgar Wright movie. It's so energetic and funny and well-directed, and every rewatch you notice another bit of foreshadowing about what happens later in the movie, or a funny callback, or another creative bit of editing or use of sound effects or music
This is definitely the funniest film of the Three Flavors Cornetto trilogy. Rory McCann was great in this movie, and just four years later he would go one to play my favorite Game of Thrones character, the Hound!!!
Other threads have been discussing this as well, not many reactors do seem to have seen that film. I guess it boils down to 'Shakespeare inverted snobbery' in the public consciousness.🤷♀ Same kind of thing happening when the otherwise fairly open Embrace The Suck guys simply discount ALL classical music.
Jim Broadbent, the police chief was Professor SLughorn in Harry Potter and the Half BLood Prince, as well as Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Scull . Bill Nuy (Spelling?) was also in Sean of the Dead and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, as well as the Pirates of the Carribean sequels. He's been in so much including Love Actually, which has an all star Cast, you should definitely see that. Martin Freeman was in that as well as Captain America / Civil War, and the SHerlock Holmes series with Cumberbatch. Oh, and the mumbling Mr. Filtch a squib.
Just FYI, Bill Nighy has produced some outstanding movies. There's the Worricker trilogy - _Page eight, Turks & Caicos,_ and _Salting the battlefield._ They're BBC TV movies but you can find them on film sites (and maybe the BBC iPlayer, IDK). He had an Oscar nomination for _Living,_ but my favourite performance of his is his highly unusual hit man in _Wild target,_ which also features a stunning performance by Emily Blunt.
The "fridge magnate". That was such a subtle joke. There were verbal clues of who was about to die. "We haven't got long." "Just about to pop off." 25:03 -- Simon playing "Fire" while driving by George's manor -- that's my favorite joke in the whole movie. The names of the twins -- Roger and Martin -- are references to the main characters in the *Lethal Weapon* franchise.
Every word, every scene, everything means something and calls back to it and then it comes around in the end where it all ties up. Brilliant editing, writing and acting. Love this movie.
lol a bond villain! that is James Bond

that was Bill Bailey as the twins on reception. if you don't know him he's one of the UK's top comedians, a musical genius and won Strictly Come Dance (Dancing with the Stars to you)
He is so great in Black Books.
And the twins are reading books by Iain Banks and Iain M Banks - who are also the same person.
@@sanitychek Thank you - another gag I hadn't noticed in this masterpiece.
If you ever go to places like Cricklade (just south of Gloucestershire) you'll realise that a lot of this film is actually a documentary!
14:34 - never noticed it before but look at the scene where he drops the dvd down. It lands on Shaun Of The Dead. And there's a sticker covering Simon Pegg's face on the cover
They also changed the title
“I’m not Judge Judy and executioner!”
Came here to say this. Best line in a movie👌
This is a brilliant line and it happens so fast.
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.

Keep in mind when Dalton quotes Shakespeare that before he WAS James Bond he was famous as a Shakespearean actor. Love the inside humour in this movie.
This is part 2 of a trilogy. It's called the "Three Flavours Cornetto Trilogy" Cornettos are ice cream cones. They get eaten at some point in the movie. 1. Strawberry Cornetto = "Shaun of the Dead". 2. Vanilla (Classico) Cornetto = Hot Fuzz 3. Mint Cornetto = "The World's End".
The police actually like this for the most realistic part every other movie forgets about.
Paperwork!
After seeing Paddy Considine absolutely crush his dramatic role ing HotD it only makes his performance in this funnier to me
If you’ve never seen Dead Man’s Shoes, you need to
The character of Tom is played by Edward Woodward, the original Equalizer.
He's also Callan in the 1967-72 itv spy series "Callan"and a 1974 film "Callan" directed by Don Sharp. Not to mention that he's the star of the 1973 film "The Wicker Man" which has influenced this film.
It’s awesome how far you’ve come. From someone that had no movie going experience, to pretty much pointing out references and characters from other movies. 🙌
This is a film I can watch again immediately after watching it. The more times I see it, the more I enjoy it. Brilliant humor.
I knew that church roof part would get you. Hilarious 😂
Looks like a Bond villain?! Lol. He played Bond!!!
I hope Super Troopers is on the list soon
"He looks like a Bond villain" might be the single most unintentionally hilarious thing I've ever heard 🤣🤣🤣
seeing people from other countries enjoy very English movies brings me such joy! 🤣🤣
“The other Girl Cop!” You mean ‘Best Actress Oscar Winner’ Olivia Colman!
Hot fuzz is one of if not the best most rewatch able movies, every line every shot is linked to something else it’s outstanding
“He looks like a Bond villain.”
Who’s gonna tell her?
Considering that she had this on her Patreon already, I'm sure 1000 people already did.
EVERYONE
The six comments above and six below yours all did.
Eeeeverryyyooone!
Everyone
Everybody recognizing Edward Woodward as the original "Equalizer" 1987 makes me feel old as I watched him as Callan int 1967-72 TV spy series and 1974 film "Callan" But nobody seems to have mentioned that he was the star of the 1973 film " The Wicker Man" whose influences run through "Hot Fuzz". Should be on any film fans list.
I think I should give the 1973 version a chance.... the 'NOT THEEE BEEEEE''SSSSSSSS!!!' 2006 version was fitting for a proper inebriated night movie.
Actually the film is inspired by the 1976 series "Children of the Stones" shot in the village of Avebury. its where they got the phrase "The Greater Good" from.
The team also did a brilliant tv show called Spaced.
Would love to see a reaction to that series.
One of the best series, it's soo good!
Oh yes, highly underrated
@@Reani71 Or almost unknown I would say!
Julia Deakin is in both this and Spaced. As well as Nick Frost. And Kevin Eldon.
The guy with the mustache was the king in the first season of House of Dragons
An insanely excellent film - superb script, brilliant cast, wonderful references to other action classics, two songs from The Kinks on the soundtrack, absolutely wonderful chemistry between Pegg and Frost...and my man Timothy Dalton! He was so delightfully boo-hiss here - a fabulous villain!
Excellent reaction, Cassie - I thoroughly recommend The Rocketeer from 1991, a glorious comic-book adventure set in the 1930s with another truly marvellous Dalton performance.
This was hilarious , British humor at it's best here one of my favorites from Director Edgar Wright and yes it's a black comedy 😄
great reaction that really livened my evening
Cheers for this Cassie !
It was for the greater good.
@@andrewparfrement8583The greater good
Like the madea movies?
I think Cassie should watch a Monty Pythons movie.
An homage to Romeo + Juliet (1996) starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Claire Danes 😂
I’ve yet to see a reactor pick up on that. I hope for it every time🤣
@@goldenageofdinosaurs7192 most reactors are people with no real movie experience, so unless they've reacted to it or just have been lucky enough to have watched it, they're not gonna recognize it.
@@this.is.a.username Yeah, perhaps simply by virtue of it being Shakespeare, it's been relegated to merely the teaching of the play? I'm talking very broadly of course.
And it is a shame, certainly it wasn't considered a flop! Some very decent performances and from memory actually some interesting cinematography as well.
Was Timothy Dalton James Bond? I can't tell from the comments.
Welcome to the internet, where every joke has to be beaten to death.
@@clarkmichaels822 Or, people can express their own loving amusement.
No one needs your permission or approval to laugh at irony.
I'm pretty sure he was actually Inspector Gadget - easy mistake to make, though!
@@RamathRS What irony?
They were setting you up for this joke.
Hot Fuzz is SO good. And it ages like fine wine.
Greatest of at least the most underrated line: When Kenneth is told he can't just make people disappear he answers "Yes I can. I'm the Chief Inspector".
It’s the little nose twitch when he delivers the line too. Top acting.
Rory McCann as Michael Armstrong was "The Hound" in Game of Thrones, yaarp.
"Not Judge Judy and executioner!" 😅😅
35:26 Here's one I had to have pointed out to me: the Barker twins, Roger and Martin -- that's a reference to Lethal Weapon (Roger Murtaugh and Martin Riggs, a.k.a. Danny Glover and Mel Gibson).
The doctor (Stuart Wilson) is the main bad guy in Lethal Weapon 3 and the Mask of Zorro
20:14 my favorite part 🤣🤣:
"What else ya got, Crockett & Tubby?"
"Skidmarks!"
(snicker)
"Now who's being childish?"
So glad you enjoyed this. Its my favourite of the "cornetto trilogy".
The Cornetto Trilogy. Cornettos are the frozen ice cream cones (Brain Freeze) eaten, or referenced in all three films
And they used a different flavor/color of Cornetto for each film: Red for blood, blue for the police, and green for aliens.
I love when americans watch hot fuzz, its such a great film. But it just hits different when you understand all the little references.
20:40 What most Europeans think most Americans’ gun collections look like.
There aren't nearly enough Bubba'd WW2 Soviet rifles in there for that.
You've been in my gun safe and I somehow forgot?!?! 😅😅
it's not, but it is what we wish it was.
Double it. Maybe.
It's not?
Hot Fuzz described in four words:
Reference, Setup, Payoff, Joke
There are no scenes, and almost no lines, in this movie are not one of the above. It is one of the greatest movies of all time in my opinion because of how perfectly essential every bit of it is. Nothing is wasted, everything is setup and paid off, and no other movie ever made has come even vaguely close to that level of perfection.
This is one of my favorite movies you've done on this channel. Also one of the most rewatchable. The entire cast gives a master class of acting, and the writing is perfect. Glad you enjoyed
"He looks like a Bond villain" killed me.
Cassie should reply to every comment that demands she watch such-and-such movie with, "I'm not made of eyes!", in future👀🤣
😂😂😂😂
PIB: Engage!
*Microwave burst out of wall and jumps to warp!* 😂😂😂
6:28 - Cate Blanchett.
I didn't know that until about ten years after the movie was released, and I'd seen it about six times by then. lol
This is easily my favorite Edgar Wright movie. It's so energetic and funny and well-directed, and every rewatch you notice another bit of foreshadowing about what happens later in the movie, or a funny callback, or another creative bit of editing or use of sound effects or music
This is definitely the funniest film of the Three Flavors Cornetto trilogy. Rory McCann was great in this movie, and just four years later he would go one to play my favorite Game of Thrones character, the Hound!!!
And Paddy Constantine who played one of the policeman officers played King Viserys in House of the Dragon!
You also have Walder Frey, King Viserys, and Balon Greyjoy.
Jim Broadbent as well, who was Archmaester Ebrose in GoT (though more folks know him from HP I'm sure)
@@kirby702Balon Greyjoy actor wasn't in this?
@@kirby702 which character did Balon Greyjoy play in this movie!!!
18:00 "He looks like a bond villain"
It's funny you should say that Cassie, that's Timothy Dalton, he played James Bond in License to Kill.
He looks like a Bond villian! LOL
Have you not seen Baz Luhrmann's Romeo+Juliet? That's why she had wings and they sing Lovefool at the end.
Other threads have been discussing this as well, not many reactors do seem to have seen that film. I guess it boils down to 'Shakespeare inverted snobbery' in the public consciousness.🤷♀
Same kind of thing happening when the otherwise fairly open Embrace The Suck guys simply discount ALL classical music.
Possibly my favorite comedy ever.
“He looks like a Bond villain.”
😂😆 So close 🙂
Not sure I expected the "fingered" joke to hit so hard with her. lol
Cassie had an extensive ho phase
😂
Jim Broadbent, the police chief was Professor SLughorn in Harry Potter and the Half BLood Prince, as well as Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Scull . Bill Nuy (Spelling?) was also in Sean of the Dead and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, as well as the Pirates of the Carribean sequels. He's been in so much including Love Actually, which has an all star Cast, you should definitely see that. Martin Freeman was in that as well as Captain America / Civil War, and the SHerlock Holmes series with Cumberbatch. Oh, and the mumbling Mr. Filtch a squib.
*Bill Nighy.
He was Professor Slughorn in _Indiana Jones?_
(It's Bill Nighy.)
Just FYI, Bill Nighy has produced some outstanding movies. There's the Worricker trilogy - _Page eight, Turks & Caicos,_ and _Salting the battlefield._ They're BBC TV movies but you can find them on film sites (and maybe the BBC iPlayer, IDK). He had an Oscar nomination for _Living,_ but my favourite performance of his is his highly unusual hit man in _Wild target,_ which also features a stunning performance by Emily Blunt.
The "fridge magnate". That was such a subtle joke.
There were verbal clues of who was about to die. "We haven't got long." "Just about to pop off."
25:03 -- Simon playing "Fire" while driving by George's manor -- that's my favorite joke in the whole movie.
The names of the twins -- Roger and Martin -- are references to the main characters in the *Lethal Weapon* franchise.
Every word, every scene, everything means something and calls back to it and then it comes around in the end where it all ties up. Brilliant editing, writing and acting. Love this movie.
