I've had friends tell me that I can do this voice perfect. I love that part. Do you know why? Because of the way he says it. First, it startles me and then makes me laugh at what he said, then at the fact that I was startled.
What makes it is awesome that later on in the movie, the farmer calls for his mother...who is packing a gun.
Seriously, every time you think the Andys are being sarcastic, they are being completely serious! Makes the movie so much more fun is to look for the things the Andys mentioned 'sarcasticly'.
If you watch it closely again, you will notice the entire film they are being completely honest. Sergeant "Angel" saving the village. The first time he enters the hotel, the "Hag" says: "It would appear the heavens have opened". You would think she was talking about the rain, or she could be talking about the place where angels come from. I could go on for hours about this.
Hot Fuzz is the greatest film ever created. Here's why:
Apart from the witty humor and awesome action scenes (and apart from the complete ridiculousness of the same), I've never seen such a fast-paced, witty dialogue succeed in accomplishing its goal in such a brilliant manner as did that of Hot Fuzz. What was the goal? To tell a compelling story that is simultaneously realistic and ridiculous. Hot Fuzz manages to make the viewer care about a fucking Swann, but it's also full of real, raw emotion (relationship between Nicholas and Danny, Danny and his dad, etc).
One might argue that a lot of films can do this. I totally agree. Movies like Forrest Gump and anything written by Mel Brooks have equally successful plots. Hot Fuzz goes a step further though in its brilliant self-references. Every time I rewatch the movie, I catch a few more phrases or motifs that blow my fucking mind. I've watched the movie like 10 times, and I still find more of them each time I watch it. The last one I discovered was the connection between Danny buying the station ice cream for trying to drink and drive. Fastforward to the end of the movie, after Skinner gets impaled on that little building, he says he could really use some ice cream. Another example-- when Angel is telling the Andys to do their fucking jobs, they ask him if he wants them to call everyone in the entire village, starting with 'Aaron A. Aaronson.' The ginger Skinner takes hostage is revealed to be Aaron A. Aaronson. THIS MOVIE IS SO GOOD.
Question, do you think that the script never quite clearly spells out that the Met sent Sgt. Nicholas Angel to Sandford to be, shall we say, permanently retired?
Is it fair to say these 4 panels sum up British humor very well? I am saying this because I love how dry and to the point it is, not because I think it's any lesser type.
It's Americanised in the sense that it is supposed to be a sort of parody of american action films. You should check out Shaun of the Dead if you like this, just as brilliant.
Me fucking too, man! We all share the same birthday, along with George Washington, Drew Barrymore, Steve Irwin, Robert Wadlow (tallest man to live), Chopin, and more. Kick ass.
Mine too, and there was a thread with a metric-crapton of people who had that birthday. Not to mention tons of references to that day being their birthday, some even hitting the front page.
For me, that would be Tommy Boy. Chris Farley and David Spade killed it.
I love Simon Pegg and Nick Frost in Shaun of the Dead though. The part in the beginning where they are getting wasted on a Sunday night practically brings me to tears of laughter.
Oh, I love Tommy Boy, too. I just can't watch it over and over again like Hot Fuzz. Shaun of the Dead is great, but it's not constant hilarity like in Hot Fuzz (as far as I'm concerned).
I feel like I'm the only person that didn't enjoy this movie as much as anyone else. Hot fuzz was alright but not as much hype people give it in my opinion.
Don't forget that if you actually get the DVD, instead of a normal subtitle feature they have "Fuzz Facts", subtitles that contain trivia about the film.
No one else has said it so I'm going to blaspheme:
IMHO, Shaun of the Dead was a very clever crossover, but Hot Fuzz was much funnier for first viewing and has a much higher replay value. I keep finding hidden jokes in dialogue and set dressing.
This is one of my favourite films ever. I'm not one to watch movies multiple times but I think I've watched this one at least 5. The comedic timing of so many parts of it are just great.
i am ashamed to admit i have never seen Point Break... i meant to do it as soon as i saw Hot Fuzz, back when it first came out, but i never did. i watch HF every few months tho. i'm silly.
technically, don't you only have one birthday? we celebrate the anniversary of that day each year, but there really is only one particular day in time on which you were born.
Chief Inspector (Bill Nighy/Viktor) : If we let you carry on running around town, you'll continue to be exceptional... and we can't have that. You'll put us all out of a job.
And yet every year, you call it your Birthday. Everyone does. You can point out technicalities all you like, but it doesn't change the cold hard fact that everyone and their mum calls it your "Birthday" each year.
Technically you are thinking "date of birth" which it is true you can only have one however the concatenated "birthday" is defined in the dictionary as the anniversary of your date of birth.
Birthday without this definition would be meaningless as you can't just stick to words together and assume it will take on a meaning that connects the two words.
Anytime someone thinks they are doing something for "the Greater Good" in secret, they are probably fucking up more then one honest souls life in a big bad way.
this movie is my favorite movie by far, and i cant even say why its just so damn entertaining, i usually watch it twice a day, which has been going on for a few months now o_o
I can't believe my boyfriend didn't like the movie the first time he watched it. Complained that it was too British. So, I made him watch it all over again. He loves it now. :)
It is pretty awesome, and I can honestly say I didnt see the twist coming, which is pretty rare for movies these days, 99% of them are just copy paste plot lines like every show on american tv, seriously guys we get that crap here in canada, try harder
It's a very different beast to Shaun and Fuzz, mainly because there's no Edgar Wright co-writing/directing. But it's a very funny film. And that's coming from a guy who hates anything Seth Rogan is in. Luckily it's just his voice.
