god i love those guys

I loved it. But I loved Shaun of the Dead, too.

I love it



they don't dumb down their work for a mass audience; it's like it's made specifically for the the people who are going to like it. and that's awesome

Haven't seen it. Love Spaced. Shaun Of The Dead was ok. I've heard this isn't as funny.

I thought it was pretty much hilarious

I thought this was superior to SOTD, but everyone knows that

also wtf@ a serious comment by space?

sorry won't happen again

I dont know if I find it superior to SOTD as a film, but it holds up slighty better upon repeat viewing as far as fun and funny goes. SOTD has a lot more to take in upon repeat viewing and while the jokes hold up, its a bit more slowly paced and not as ridiculously funny as the best jokes in Hot Fuzz. Why it matters which is better, is beyond me because I love them both.

I had a blog about this movie and how it's release in the USA was minimal.

I can't wait to get my hands on the DVD!

The movie wasa very entertaining, but in NO WAY did it even touch the hilarity, pacing and just all-out homages and smartness of Shaun of the Dead. It tried to one-up SOTD with whizz-bang action movie cutting and over-the-top bloody kill scenes between peaceful contry livin. I found the homages in Hot Fuzz more sloppily added to the movie without flowing into it as much, and i REALLY coulda done with a bigger action scene until the bloody end of the movie! I really liked the flick, I just don't think it is nearly the spot-on genre basher and love letter that SOTD was to zombie, love stories horror movies.

I saw it before Shaun and loved it, saw it twice in cinema.

Then I saw Shaun on DVD and I actually didnt like it as much as Hot Fuzz.



Maybe it depends on which one you saw first :P

Each to their own Frickenawesome, I'm not a huge fan of the horror genre so although shuan of the dead was good hot fuzz appealed far more and its the fact that I've lived in towns exactly like that, ok maybe not murderous people, but deffiently over zelous guardians of the community the last village I lived in has won best kept village three years running so for me that life style is a big in joke which is why I love the film.



Its the idea that something so amazing with such action can happen in the type of village I grew up in somewhere that I've always seen as boring.

hhaha yeah it sold out in my tesco store too!



it's so cool to see this happen!

I think the fact that its fathers day has helped alot, apocolito is the other dvd that sold out but I havent seen it.



I've alwys been of the mind set that the british film industry is crap (not nescisarly the stuff its producing but most companies set up for one film then colapse and are unable to give their films a major release because the american market muscles them out) but hot fuzz gives me hope espcially since thats the industry I'm heading for.

Random bit a of trivia for ya, at the start of the film Angel gets stabbed in the hand by a father christmas, guess who pays the father christmas?



Peter Jackson as in the same one who directed the lord of the rings!

no shit?! I didn't know that

Yeah its on the extra features he also came down for a day of filming in the latter scenes to watch.

I've never lived in a "village"....we have towns over here in America. lol. So maybe that's why this didn't appeal to me as much. I thought it was funny, but very few times i laughed out loud. Shaun oft he Dead for me was one lol after another. But both were good flicks that I enjoyed. I just don't see myself watching it over and over again like I did SOTD. But you are correct sir, to each his/her/? own.

Good film, bit of a slow start though. Any of you watch their show "Danger 50,000 volts"? Funny shit I recommend you watch it, it was aired before shaun of the dead was released.

I think it appeals it appeals more to brits to americans most of the cast is un known but some of the characters are amoungst the most famous comedians in the country espically the cameos.



Bill Nighy ... Metropolitan Chief Inspector Kenneth most famous as Davy Jones in pirates 2 and 3



Stephen Merchant ... Peter Ian Staker one of the writers of the UK office



Martin Freeman the UK office +hitch hikers guide to the galaxy



Steve Coogan ... Metropolitan Police Inspector (uncredited) Alan Partridge and so many more



Bill Bailey ... who plays two characters the twin police officers we are lead to believe are the same person, one nice the other not. He's mainly famous as a stand up comedian.



I mean its a good film but I dont really understand why americans like it, your certainly coming at it from a different point of view.

"At a Q&A session following a screening of the film in Newcastle-Upon-Tyne, Edgar Wright revealed that the film featured disguised cameos by two Oscar winners: Cate Blanchett and Peter Jackson. Jackson appears as the Santa Claus who stabs Nick Angel through the hand during the opening montage, and Blanchett appears masked as Angel's ex-girlfriend who is a Scene of Crime Officer (SOCO) which is the Metropolitan Police's term for an officer who collects and processes Forensic evidence at the scene of a crime. (Roughly analogous to a CSI)"

I watched this last night and was disappointed. Why do Pegg and Frost's post-Spaced projects pale so in comparison?

I thought it was awesome, esp the end scene in the Somerfield. I used to work in a shop like that when i was a kid, and i would have loved 'shit' like that to 'go down'.



And you've gotta love any film that involves someone doin a flying kick in an old woman face.



And nice catch on PJ and Cate Blanchett - i thought it was her, but i'd never have guessed the ring king as Santa.

It was enjoyable. But good gags were few and far between. Not something that'd benefit form repeat viewings in my opinion.

i just saw it at last. fucking hilarious. a little slow in places but every bit as good as Shaun, maybe a little better.
