There’s something very, VERY going on in Sandford. But you never know, Angel tells Danny, when that information will come in handy, because “there’s always something going on.” He flips out his notebook and starts writing down everything the man says and why, which agitates the driver. He also knows that a cop’s best tool is the notebook.Īngel catches a man speeding and pulls him over.

He knows how to cordon off a crime scene. When several “accidents” start cropping up in Sandford, a town with the lowest crime rate in England, the other constables turn to Angel for advice. These are probably the first two movies Angel has ever seen.Īngel is a strictly by-the-book bloke, and he shows off his skills time and again. The lazy, incompetent cop got the job through the world’s easiest method of job retention–his dad’s his boss.ĭanny lacks in skill, but not in enthusiasm. He longs for the action parts of all his favorite action movies, chief among them Point Break and Bad Boys II, which he makes Angel watch on one drunken night. Danny is one of the worst cops on one of the worst police services in England, perhaps the world. One of the arrested (for DUI, or whatever the British equivalent is), turns out to be his partner Danny Butterman ( Nick Frost). That kind of dedication will get you 400% higher arrests.
Later that night, before he’s officially started the job, he arrests and processes the shit out of four people drinking underage in the local pub. Angel getting stabbed by Britain’s most dangerous villain–Santa Claus.Īngel and his peace lily (perhaps his only friend) check into a dusty inn in Sandford. He cares so much about it that when he visits his CSI ex-girlfriend at a crime scene to tell her he’s moving away, he can’t help but recite regulation and identify the key piece of evidence that no one else has identified yet. But orders are orders, and he wants to keep his job, because it’s only thing he lives for. So, a battery row of Martin Freeman, Bill Nighy, and Steve Coogan politely insinuate that Angel should fuck off and become a sergeant in the tiny hamlet of Sandford, a multi-time honoree as England’s village of the year.Īngel, addicted to the fast pace of London crime fighting, isn’t thrilled about the idea. Straight from the horse’s mouth.Īngel has an arrest record 400% higher than the rest of the force–sorry, service–and it’s making everyone else look bad.
Hot Fuzz opens with a montage convincing us of his superior policing: Canterbury University, high aptitude, advanced driving and cycling, plays chess, and fences better than most on the force, holds a record for the 100 meters, excels at riot control, and once killed the shit out of a guy during a raid.
Nicholas Angel ( Simon Pegg) is London’s, perhaps Britain’s, finest police officer. ONE SENTENCE PLOT SUMMARY: London, and perhaps England’s, best policeman–sorry, police officer–is shipped to the bucolic village called Sandford, where he uncovers a vast, murderous conspiracy stretching back decades, and a police force–sorry, police service–obsessed with afternoon desserts. Evidence of this evolution is present in nearly every scene. Set in a bucolic village called Sandford, Hot Fuzz is edited and paced as breakneck as the smash hit Wright directed 10 years later– Baby Driver. Less violent than Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz pays tribute to violent buddy cop dramas, especially the Michael Bay variety. Edgar Wright and Simon Pegg created three homage comedies to different film genres in the twenty-aughts, and this is one of them.
