sh|ru watches : Hot Fuzz

Wednesday, June 27, 2007



Hot Fuzz is about Nicholas Angel, London Metro Police, top of the line, hard nut to crack, follow every line in the book PC who is promoted to Sergeant. All seems well but the catch is he is will be transferred to a quaint little country-side town. Of course it's no fun without conspiracies so expect some twist and turns. Beware the generous use of gore and blood. Not for the squirmish really.

Nicholas Angel: I may not be a religious man Reverend, but I know right and I know wrong and I have the good grace to know which is which.
Reverend Philip Shooter: Oh, f$%@ off, grasshopper.
Angel shoots the Reverend
Reverend Philip Shooter: Jesus Christ!!!

Started of like the usual British comedy, but half way thru become a testosterone filled, adrenaline pumped action movie.

Reminiscent of Keeping Mum, but peppered with cheesy one-liners and lotsa guns.


Danny Butterman: Where's the trolley boy?
Nicholas Angel: In the freezer.
Danny Butterman: Did you say "cool off?"
Nicholas Angel: No I didn't say anything...
Danny Butterman: Shame.
Nicholas Angel: Well, there was the part that you missed where I distracted him with the cuddle monkey then i said "play times over" and I hit him in the head with the peace lily.
Danny Butterman: You're off the f#%kin' chain!


You get the idea that this movie was made purely for fun but with professionalism you expect a well-known director like Edgar Wright who also did the equally entertaining Shaun of the Dead. So it is advised that you don't take this movie seriously. It is British humour at it's best.

Rotten Tomatoes gave it 89%. Yarp.
