Hot Fuzz
2007 Directed by Edgar Wright
Synopsis
Big cops. Small town. Moderate violence.
Top London cop, PC Nicholas Angel is good. Too good. And to stop the rest of his team looking bad, he is reassigned to the quiet town of Sandford. Paired with simple country cop Danny, everything seems quiet until two actors are found decapitated. It is addressed as an accident, but Angel isn't going to accept that, especially when more and more people turn up dead.

I've seen Shaun of the Dead countless times.
This is the fourth time I've seen Hot Fuzz and not only am I ready to call this better than Shaun, I'm tempted to call it my favorite comedy of all time.

If you like your job, you usually do it well.
If you love your job, you usually do it exceptionally well.
If you are passionate about your job and live, breathe, sleep, eat and drink it and ooze it out of every pore of your body you get this.
Possibly the best homage to the action genre ever made.

This one's going onto my Movies I Love More With Each Viewing list.
I love how it's set up as a parody of police action films. But it's more of an homage. But the homage is played so straight that it's really just a smarter version of a lot of the movies it references. So what is it?
This time, I had a lot of fun picking out cameos -- especially Bill Bellamy and the "Hello, Brian" lady.
Of course, it was a bit of Fail in my attempt to escape all the blood and murder of Halloween Season 2012. I forgot that we get some pretty gruesome murders and a nice bit of spurting blood. D'oh!

Just as good as I remembered it being. Awesome from start to finish and it mixes everything up so well between genres. CANNOT wait for the last film of the Blood and Ice Cream trilogy.

Probably the film with the biggest re-watchibility factor ever. I literally cannot get sick of this film. However much I may try, I still love it. It's also probably the best collection of one-liners ever too:
-"You're a doctor; deal with it!"
-"Pub?"
-"What's the matter, Danny? Never taken a shortcut before?"
-"Is it true that there's a point on a man's head where if you shoot it, it will blow up?"
-"Bring the noise!"
-"PUNCH! THAT! SHIT!"
-"He's not Judge Judy and executioner!"
-"We'll put a call in to Aaron A. Aaronson, shall we?"
-"By the power of Greyskull!"
-"I've had my top off on that sign before. Nyha-ha-ha!"
-"Cornetto..."
-"Pub?"
-"Oh, f**k off, grasshopper."
-"FASCIST!"
-"Hag..."
-"Stop, or… -
If you don't like Hot Fuzz, I'm afraid we can't be friends anymore.

Edgar Wrights zombiepastiche Shaun of the Dead werd enkele jaren geleden onder de superlatieven bedolven. Zelfs campfanaat Quentin Tarantino drukte Wrights romzomcom tegen de borst. Mede dankzij de lovende woorden van QT groeide de film uit tot een onverwacht succes. De verwachtingen voor Shauns opvolger waren dus hoog gespannen. Met Hot Fuzz zet de 32 -jarige cineast opnieuw met succes en zichtbaar enthousiasme de genrefilm in de zeik.
Nicolas Angel (Simon Pegg) is de rechtschapen flik waar elk politiebureau van droomt. Hij zweert bij veenbessensap en draait er zijn hand voor niet om om nozems en ander schorriemorrie achter de tralies te krijgen. Zijn palmares is de natte droom van elke bobby, maar toch besluit Angels overste om hem in…

Another Simon Pegg and Nick Frost masterpiece

a really solid send up

Modern parody has been skewed to the point where it is far worse than anything it is trying to mock. Either blandly becoming victims to the tropes of the genre and the ones of parody, Or are so heavy handed that within a year they are dated beyond recognition. Hot fuzz on the other hand is not only a fantastic love letter to the genre, but a damn fine action movie in itself.
From the creative team of Edgar Wright, Simon Pegg and Nick Frost, who made brilliant works such as Shaun of the Dead and Spaced, Hot Fuzz could possibly be the greatest Buddy Cop Film since Lethal Weapon.When dedicated officer Nicholas Angel gets moved to “The best…

I've seen this probably about 15 times and there were still jokes this time around that I only caught for the first time.
The number of jokes-per-minute here is incredible, and what's even more incredible is that pretty much every single one is hilarious and clever.Absolutely brilliant movie and an all-time favorite.

Great play of satire on buddy cop movies, but at the same time being a great buddy cop movie. The humor is excellent, very surprising at times, the editing is great, it jumps around and makes a scene that wouldn't be relevant very entertaining.

Pure joy, this movie.

Some years ago Coca Cola had an Ad campaign.
Eat soccer, sleep soccer, drink coca cola.
If the words soccer and coca cola were replaced by "WORK" then that would be the definition of Simon Pegg in this film.
This is a parody/ comedy/ action film. This combo might sound absurd but they have pulled it off damn well.
