"With respect, sir, you can't just make people disappear." "Yes I can I'm the Chief Inspector." Which is exactly what Chief Inspector Butterman had been doing for years.
With the notebook, I think it is more reference to when Danny stabs Angel into his notebook to fool others that he kills him. Notebook literally saved his life by stopping knife.
no, that was just a red herring, Danny fakes Angel's death with the ketchup trick he showed him earlier, Danny put the ketchup packet in Angel's pocket WITH the Notebook
At the beginning of the movie, Sgt.Angel was jogging. Everyone in the village greeted him "morning sargeant". Only when he came back to the village on a horse with tons of guns he replied back saying "morning".
There’s also a joke with the Tim Messenger scene because the phrase “You’re number’s up” means someone is in danger or near death, but the reverend says it because of how Tim’s name was chosen from the raffle
and the reverend says at the start of the church fate scenes "someone will be in for a surprise at 3 o clock" which is exactly when tim messenger was murdered
Danny shooting the doctor in the leg with an air rifle is a reference to Shaun of the Dead where Ed talks about how he once shot his sister in the leg with an air rifle.
You forgot another consistent 'Cornetto trilogy' element that is more obvious in this one and shaun of the dead: "Want anything from the shop?" "Cornetto"
The whole movie is basically a series of continous foreshadowing, making a running gag of twists in police stories. The gag being that in reality, the most obvious solution is often right.
7:09 judging by the actors costumes for Romeo and Juliet being Romeo's Knight and Juliet's angel costume from the 1996 Romeo + Juliet movie with Leonardo DiCaprio, and the modern song added. I suspect this is not a reference to Monty python, but is instead a referenced to the previously mentioned 1996 Romeo + Juliet, in which the actors wore those costumes to the Capulets party. More importantly the movie is weirdly a modern adaptation and quite meme worthy with 90s Italian gang families rocking guns sword 9mm engraved onto them. It also featured the song during the movie.
During the begining of the movie Nicholas tells the head of the london police department that they cant just make people disappear, refrencing how the NWA literally make people "disappear"
On the topic of "More guns in the country than there are in the city." the accidental stash of firearms that Arthur Webley has in his shed. (Plus Webley is the name of a single/double action revolver used by the British Army, Navy and Air Force for the past 100 years.) So there's a firearms reference too.
there was the irl foreshadowing too, it was filmed in wells, Tim's head was crushed by the church roof, and in Storm Eunice, Wells Cathedral's roof fell off
7:11 Besides the Baz Luhrman version, this Romeo and Juliet scene is referencing one in the play Nicholas Nickleby, where the entire company gets up and sings. David Threlfall, the "Romeo", was one of the stars of the 1982 production.
The play happening was Romeo and Julliet, and the song that Skinner had playing was Romeo and Julliet by Dire Straits. Same sorta thing with Fire by Bruce Springsteen (I think) when he drives past the scene of the fire.
You also forgot the thing with "shoot all the little people and you can waltz off with the cuddly monkey" - cut to the rainy scene - "[...] and it's high time you realize that, you and your monkey!" "did he mean me or that?" (and also the scene where Nick shoots all the NWA members at the market place)
I haven’t seen anyone talk about how the end shoot out of hot fuzz when angel walks in on horse back to the town centre is a massive copy/ nod to the end of a fist full of dollars. They are a 1:1 copy pretty much. And hot fuzz is in the corneto trilogy and a fist full of dollars is in the spaghetti western trilogy. That’s not a coincidence.
At the start when he's in the bit he stays at with the recruits and if you pause it before the camera quickly turns to angel you can see a photo of his pedal car he talks about to Danny
In the beginning of the movie you can see Nicholas Angle answering every multiple choice question with "C". This is a mini easter egg for the common unprepared student tactic of choosing to answer all C's on a multiple choice test because they think a good amount of correct answers will be C.
In the beginning montage, some of Sargent Angel's abilities include martial arts and fencing. He employs both against Mr Cooper during the climax in the same order.
I love this movie. They have two hidden cameos. Father Christmas (on screen for 1/2 a 12:25 second) was actually Peter Jackson, the director of the Lord of the Rings trilogy. The ex-girlfriend was Kate Blanchett. She is one of the most beautiful women in Hollywood, and the director, Edgar Wright, has her hidden in a CSI suit. I also thought the Neighborhood Watch Alliance was a cheeky reference to the NWA. This movie is so full of Easter eggs that it is impossible to count them all. Luckily, there is a RU-vid video that gives you everything. Just do a search of Hot Fuzz Easter eggs and you will see how much was crammed into this movie.
6:20 (from Shaun of the Dead) Shaun: What's the matter, David? Never taken a shortcut before? 6:01 (from Hot Fuzz) Nicholas Angel: What's the matter, Danny? You never taken a shortcut before? 6:31 (from The World's End) Gary King: Oh, no! (Me: (Laughs) What's the matter, Gary? You never taken a shortcut before?)
The references i know in this movie are Point Break (1991) Romeo + Juliet (1996) Face/Off (1997) the scene where Angel and Danny fire their guns while jumping through the air is similar to the scene in Face/Off where the villain Castor Troy fires his golden guns while jumping through the air. The NWA members in hooded Cloaks is a reference to those Horror films Angel riding his horse into the town is a reference to the classic Westerns
@@josefengelhardt2767 it also refrences a passage from revelations I looked, and there before me was a white horse! Its rider was Death, and hell followed close behind him
This one might be a bit of a stretch but whatever in the scene where nicholas is talking about how there is always something going on (where he talks about mr treacher,lurch and the “fuck ugly guy”) for me it kind of mirrors the scene where ed is talking about how all the patrons at the winchester have interesting pasts
