Share your thoughts, subscribe and give the video a 👍🏻💚

hot fuzz is one of the best comedies of the last 20 years. timothy dalton steals the show such a great character.

I live a mile from where they filmed this, in Wells, Somerset (England) Some people actually pilgrimage here to see the town location as it was an internationally popular film. We also do have a competition each year, for the best town in bloom (Flowers) but we don’t murder anyone to win it.

Not only is this the funniest of the trilogy, but it also has one of the greatest casts, especially the large amount of character actors.

‘He’s not Judge Judy and executioner!’

Timothy Dalton said he enjoyed doing this movie far more than the Bond films!

“You wanna be a big copper in a small town?… fuck off up the model village” is the best line in modern cinema.

As a former peace officer (now retired) I can certify this as the most realistic cop movie ever made.

"The World's End" caps off the trilogy.

Hot Fuzz is Most Definitely for the Greater Good

2:06 - LoTR director Peter Jackson cameos as "Santa Claus" 3:36 - LoTR actress Cate Blanchett as CSI Janine.

"What's your name kid? Aaron A. Aaronson". First person in the phone book.

Fun fact: Timothy Dalton, Olivia Coleman, Simon Pegg, and the lady who played Leslie Tiller have all had roles on Doctor Who throughout the years.

What I love about these reaction videos, is seeing surprise joy and horror. In this one was Michelle and Natalie laughing the loudest when the old woman with the shotgun. Gets a flying kick to the Head! Just brilliant and I'm laughing with them. Cheer's Gorgeous Ladies.xx

You gotta love the repeated gags across all three movies in the Cornetto trilogy...my favourite is the running fence gag in each movie 😂

A little easily overlooked detail, the desk sergeant is always reading a novel by either Iain Banks or Iain M Banks depending if it's the day or night shift. (same actor, Bill Bailey, playing both)

"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 Fact: Nicholas' ex-girlfriend Jeanine at the crime scene is Cate Blanchett. The Santa that stabs Nicholas is Peter Jackson. P. I. Staker is Stephen Merchant, best known in America as the voice of Wheatley in Portal 2 (2011). 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. 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.

There is another one : The World's End, plus there's a TV series called Spaced starring Pegg and Frost directed by Edgar Wright. Also Pegg & Frost were in a movie called Paul.

I'm not sure if you noticed, but the police don't kill anyone in the movie. Only one of the villains dies in this movie, and it is the guy that sets off the sea mine. All the other villains get arrested and jailed.

Other great British comedies are: - Snatch - Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels - The Brothers Grimsby - The Full Monty - and another 30 movies in the "Carry On..." collection.

This edges out SOTD for me. The gags are even more relentless. It has an incredible cast - so many great British actors. And Timothy Dalton is one of my favourite actors. Nice job ladies!

"For the greater good." "Shut it!". my favorite bit of business in the film.

Masterpiece! Superior understanding of editing and direction from Edgar Wright indeed! The blocking and camara shots are amazing there' isnt one dull moment, the pacing and transition from scene to scene are extraordinary!... And of course the script and acting are also great, filled with referances that makes this an amazing movie!... Great Watch great reaction!... Part of the "Cornetto Trilogy" or "Three Flavours Cornetto” just because they at certain point of the 3 movies always go for a cornetto of a certain flavor in each movie! Strawberry Cornetto in "Shaun of the Dead", here in "Hot Fuzz" they go for a Classico Cornetto flavor, and in "The World's End" someone tastes a Mint Cornetto. Simon Pegg and Nick Frost and all the cast are always recurring cast that shows up in the 3 movies, which makes it unique!

Hot Fuzz is probably the closest to a "perfect" movie ever made. Everything is set up properly, every scene is filled with so many details it shouldn't be possible and the editing is absolutely flawless. Also, the fact that James Bond (Timothy Dalton) plays SUCH a good Bond villain in this movie is incredible.

The 'Santa Clause' that stabbed Sargent Angel was Peter Jackson. His ex-girlfriend was Cate Blanchett. When the head of the NWA is about to die, his last words are the same as his last words in the original Wicker Man. The twins announced at the NWA 'meeting' are named Martin and Roger, the names of the lead characters from Lethal Weapon, the music from whose trailer is used when they jump the hedge to escape the bomb. If you can, try to watch the trivia version from the DVD.

Great reaction to such a wonderful movie, it's a lot of fun watching others enjoy the movie so much, the succession of Olivia Coleman double entendres floors me every time, she's just incredible and I'm so glad her career went on to such great heights after this including the Oscar for best Lead Actress, if you ever venture into British sitcom reactions Olivia was in a superb long running sitcom called 'Peep Show' which you'd both find absolutely hilarious!

28:00 It has to be the only time in history you can say this sentence "it was totally morally correct to fly kick the old lady"

Out of the trilogy Hot Fuzz is my favorite by default because I’ve seen it like 60+ times!

Thanks ladies. Almost the entire cast is famous in the uk. The older cast from horror movies. Even a former James bond , one was star of the equaliser ( denzel Washington played his character in the movie version) .

There are a number of model villages like the one at the end around England for some reason, I remember visiting the one in bourton on the water as a kid, it’s all built in stone. They’re miniature versions of the village they’re in. Like everything else in film there’s foreshadowing the climax earlier on with the line “you want to be a big cop in a small town, fuck off up the model village”

"eradication of our hoody infestation" just brilliant!!, great reaction girls, you have to be quick to pick up on some of our British humour.

The Aron A. Aronson call back with the ginger kid at the end always gets me. I love this movie, it has enough references and homages that makes it fun, but not too many to make it a ripp-off. It's also very clever, and the script is tight, I always find something new I missed every time I rewatch it.

I've seen this film and reactions to it so many times and I've only just realised Danny putting the notebook in Angel's pocket to fake the stabbing

If y'all watched Game of Thrones, the Hound is the big dude who mumbles alot and Walder Frey is the smaller older dude who mumbles a lot lol.

I'm glad you guys enjoyed this so much! It's probably my favorite of the "trilogy", with Sean of the Dead being second. The World's End is fun, and definitely worth watching, but it's easily the weakest of the three. You might also want to watch Paul (2011) which also stars Simon Pegg and Nick Frost, as well as being written by them.

I straight up think this is a perfect movie. There is not a wasted moment of screen time. Literally every moment is either foreshadowing or pay off, so that speaks to near perfect writing and directing. Then you have the cast that would be insulted by being described S-Tier. I'm not sure American's understand the calliber of actors that were brought in for this. And them some fucking rock star named Chris Dickens took all of that footage and made even the editing tell a story. Like, what more could you possibly ask for in a movie?

That was pretty fun. I've never seen it before. I think I need to go watch the whole thing now. I give this review 5 hoots 🦉🦉🦉🦉🦉 And I give you ladies 5+. Take care Michelle and Natalie.

It's a great movie on its own, with Wright's own style (which he honed in TV with Pegg/Frost on Spaced) but then us old timers love the nods and winks at all those other old classics. Edgar Wright makes movies like Tarantino does, referencing all his favourite films, and like Tarantino he managed to get the cast to do some of the references here. Edward Woodward was the out of town cop investigating a cult in The Whicker Man, which Hot Fuzz owes most of its concept to (he was also the original Equaliser in US TV). Dalton obviously makes some Bond references, and loads of scenes refefence other movies, like the flying through the air sideways, shooting with both hands (just watch the trailer for Hard Boiled), getting impaled outside a church (The Omen) and obviously the Point Break/Bad Boys 2 stuff. It's endless. Love it.

If you can find it, the TV sitcom 'Spaced' is where this combination of direction writing and acting started and is really worth seeing. Despite being a sitcom it still has the same style of directing and, yes, they are best friends in that as well.

As a resident of small English village I can assure you the accents are barely exaggerated ,

One of my favorites! Glad you all reacted to this. It was fun watching your reaction.

awesome film - I still remember laughing so loud in the theatre when the farmers' wife gets dropped-kicked! 🤣

Hot Fuzz is a homage (or piss take) of the hollywood police action movies, there are the obvious connections to Point Break and Bad Boys II, but alot Lethal Weapon, Twins named Roger and Martin, also the villian from Lethal weapon 3 Travis played by Stuart Wilson who is the doctor, Edward Woodward who was the orginal Equalizer plays the head of the NWA. Then you have the blink and you miss it cameos from Cate Blanchett as Nicholas' ex-girlfriend Jeanine and the Director of the Lord of the Rings Peter Jackson as Father Christmas.

As an outsider, recognizing that this films is almoust 20 years old, this the the version od England we wish still existed, but, we know no longer , and will not longer , exist.

Wow, gorgeous ladies. Think i’ll be watching more of your reactions. 😂😂😂 As a Brit i LOVE Pegg/Frost movies. They work so well together. Such a great cast in this terrific movie too.

Just thought of another simon Pegg, Nick Frost movie. Paul. Very funny

"He'll be in bits tomorrow" is a common saying here in the UK as a way of saying someone has over done something drinking or exercise ect.

3:06 special appearance by Cate Blanchett.

Seamine triggers: "OOoo! Shut the door!" I haven't laughed so hard in a long time! LOL Out of the three films of the Blood and Ice Cream Cornetto Trilogy, this one remains the best movie in my opinion - curiously, which one is actually my favorite tends to shift as I get older. Originally, I loved Shaun of the Dead when it came out, but felt it was eclipsed by the tighter writing and performances in Hot Fuzz and actually kind of felt disappointed by the final film, The World's End...but now, though I will still say that Hot Fuzz has the best writing of the three movies, The World's End might actually be my favorite of the films. I'll save why for commenting on that film when you see it. Thank you for sharing this reaction with us, it was truly a joy and I'm very much looking forward to you experiencing The World's End.

The amazing thing is, after watching many reactions to this,,is that, virtually,no second is wasted as each line is, either,a joke, or leads to something later, a phrase that I have learned from this called "Foreshadowing". An absolutely top-drawer cast featuring "P.I.S. Taker=Stephen Merchant" Co-Creator and writing Partner of "The Office" with Ricky Gervais and now worth $180,000,000. Martin Freeman was in The UK Office and then became famous as "Sherlock" and many other roles. He was the Policeman telling Nicolas to go to the Country. Olivia Colman: Oscar Winner. Tim Dalton = James Bond etc.. The more I see this the lore I pick up earlier jokes that I missed:)

The guy that plays the 'yarp' guy also plays Sandor Clegane / the Hound in GoT

Beautiful AND you get the British sense of humour. You two are brilliant! ❤

As someone in their 60th year of age, I do recall when the farmers here in the West country of England did own guns, and did say "get aff of moi land ye varmint"

Simon Pegg is also great as Scotty in the Star Trek movies, as you said it would be great if they did some more

Loved your reaction, ladies. You let the film run, no stops and a great commentary. Onward and upward with your youtube!

Just a quick note about the "Cornetto trilogy" The thread that ties each of the movies together is that as some point they are eating Cornetto ice cream cones. Strawberry for Shaun of the Dead, Classico for Hot Fuzz, and Mint for The Worlds End. I apologize if someone already stated this and I missed it. Yall are great and I enjoy your content.

When he said “it’s not all about gunfights and car chases” you noticed that right away, there was a car chase (of sorts). I never thought about it before, but this is probably also a hint that we will see a gunfight,

The police have praised this movie for its portrayal of paperwork involved in police work. It's also one of those films that you catch more as you watch it, other hints and call backs all the way through. Like the kids' name at the end being the one the detectives use as an example earlier. Or the number spray painted on the fountain.

I love all the foreshadowing in these films. “You can’t wait to jump into your predecessor’s grave” - he does exactly that. “If you want to be a big cop, f**k off to the model village” - he does. “Catch me later” - he does.

Great cameos... Santa with the knife = Peter Jackson, His girlfriend was Cate Blanchett... and a few other directors hidden in the cast... The rest of them are some veterans of British cinema..

5:00 The joke is also that kids CAN legally go out in Europe when they are around 16 depending on the country, means 14 in real life, ie no cop would care unless you make a hassle. Act accordingly type stuff. He is being harsh

I think both are good. I love the almost dry humor in British comedy. Great reaction y'all.

Nice synchronised hand movements at 12:48

Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz and The World’s End are sometimes called the “Cornetto Triology” because there is at least one seen in each when Pegg and Frost eat Cornetto ice creams.

It’s been a while since I’ve been around the country and I’m not sure if it’s still the case, but I think model villages were reasonably common tourist type attractions in various villages and such… I’m not sure how common they are these days or were even in the past, but I do associate model villages with some of the smaller towns and villages in England… They may also be in other parts of the UK, but I’ve barely been to Scotland… I feel like I might have seen one in Wales at some point… I’m pretty sure they existed in England anyway… For some reason it feels right to me that they had a model village… Also a castle lol. This film has so many great callbacks too… Watch it a few times and you’ll catch all sorts of fun foreshadowing… Such a great movie.

Hello Michelle & Natalie!😊 Nicholas' mystery girlfriend behind the mask is Cate Blanchett.😉 This is my favorite in the Cornetto Trilogy. The blending of humor and strong violence is pretty unique here. Both the making of this film and the acting are just awesome! Great reactions to my favorite Cornetto Trilogy film, Ladies!!!!🎬👏👏👏👏

Well, thank you for your compliment and have a nice day and as I said, you can tell that everybody that worked on this production, we’re having the time of her life in the movie is funny as hell🍿

Fun fact. Every time someome say For the greater good, the line is repeated. Not only by the villains.

Ready for hot fuzz! 😎

What's lovely is he never stops being a cop, even when he tools up, doesn't shoot anyone I think, he finds ways to make things happen in other ways. Not sure they're all non lethal, but he doesn't directly kill anyone I think.

This film is like a mixture of an old Ealing comedy and the Wickerman. It even has Edward Woodward in it who was in the original wickerman film.

Shaun of the dead was a showcase of some of the best British talent Simon had worked with at the start of his career. Hot fuzz is so packed with legends it's a great game spotting who's who. Including Peter Jackson as the Santa who stabbed Nicholas and Kate Blanchette as his girlfriend Jeanine.

Honestly, respect the editing, but I'm gonna add (sorry if it's out of place), but jesus fucking christ y'all are gorgeous!

This is the 2nd movie of the "Three Flavors Cornetto" trilogy (1 of the flavors of a Cornetto ice cream cone is featured in each). #1: Shaun of the Dead, #2: Hot Fuzz, and #3: The World's End.

I've been looking forward to this, Ladies. For the greater good! Yarp!. 😆 👍😎👍

Your first time reaction caused me to watch the movie for the first time just so I could then watch your reaction. 😂 Good, smart, British humor. I love the use of the "Bad Boys" style rotating camera shot at the end when they're taking on the villagers.

If your a fan of Pegg Frost and Wright together recommend "Spaced" series first work they did together. Also "Paul" was Pegg & Frost without Wright good cast made in US. And "worlds end" is last of the cornetto trilogy. My least favourite of the 3.

This movie has been a curse. 😅 Because Timothy Dalton was SO brilliant in this as Skinner, I could NEVER take him seriously in any other role after this. Like, he had a guest part in Doctor Who around this time and he played a pretty menacing character. Yet, every time he was on screen, all I could do was laugh.... 🤭🙈

One of my favourite movies, never tire of rewatching it!

An epic comedic collaboration.

The Swan.... At the end, watch the camera angles and framing as the swan appears behind the police chief and attacks him. Now re-watch Aliens - the part where the drop ship pilot is killed by an alien causing the ship to crash. You might say mostly similar? Mostly.... 😎

Is this the kind of Movies we want to see.....YAARP!!!

15:03 You ladies got it fast, hat off to you, many miss this clue!

Such a great film…your reaction was fantastic, love to see how these movies are received by non British audiences. New subscriber 💯

Michelle, there is actually a forth film these two starred in, although it is not part of the Cornetto Trilogy. It is the sci-fi comedy "Paul" (2011). It's another fun Frost/Pegg film you ladies should check out.😉

You've got to do World's End now to complete the Cornetto Trilogy. Edit: I see other nerds have already said that a hundred times.

Shaun of the dead and hot fuzz are part of a trilogy The Worlds End is the final chapter, you must finish it!!!

This one is more rewatchable than Shawn Of The Dead, for me, but both are brilliant. Crazy that yall hasn't seen this. This is totally are Force of Light flick lol

One of my absolute favorites! I can recommend a lot more!

You should watch PAUL next. Both of them are in it. Plus Justin Bateman, Sigourney weaver

Hot Fuzz is my favourite of Simon Pegg and Nick Frost's movies, lol

The swan is the best character

Keep up the great work too and looking great too.

Great reaction! Thanks for posting. Love you Natalie! ❤

Great reaction, two in a row. Thanks ladies 😊 and if you don't mind me saying, easy on the eyes 😉

The personality of these four are huge

You missed a perfect opportunity to say something smart when the sea mine activated. Instead of saying 'shut the door' you could have said 'shut the FRONT door'. Baa daa boom, rimshot.

By the power of Grayskull.

This, Shawn of the Dead, and Worlds End are the best of Simon Peg. Paul is great too. 😊
