What You Never Knew About Hot Fuzz

hello I'm the Nostalgia Critic I remember it so you don't have to and welcome to another installment of what you never knew this is where we look back in movies you've seen a million times but still managed to miss one or two little details with that said let's take a look at one of my favorite comedies ever hot fun [Music] this is arguably the world's greatest satire of American action movies it's fast it's clever every bit of dialogue comes back into play one way or another it's one of the most ingenious comedies of all time so ingenious that chances are you'd missed one or two subtle touches that work this way right past you and we're here to look at them today now it goes without saying you have to have seen the movie to get all these so a lot of plot details are going to be revealed or deployed another way but they're not behind the scenes facts are nitpicking plot holes they're just the kick-ass little moments you never realize we're making the movie more kick-ass so let's not waste any time let's take a look at hot foot [Music] [Music] cameo time hello Steven Coogan hello Kate Blanchet hello Peter Jackson hello Davy Jones hello Nicholas angel yep Nicholas angel the main character is actually named after the music supervisor a Shaun of the Dead the world's end and of course Hot Fuzz I guess he must have been a really nice guy the fact is you've been making sue look bad I'm sorry sir well sergeant angel gets attention for operation crackdown he's also gotten awards for two other operations and yes if you read them in order they are operations crack down shake down and take down speaking of which all the people who will eventually end up as villains in this movie also had very cryptic last names including Hatcher Skinner Reaper and shooter while on the subject of names Nora Street where a lot of the action takes place is also named after cheese star Chuck Norris who's even referenced in the movie and did you ever notice this joke supposed to go through the whole phonebook yeah according to Alan Aronson shall we name our nerds sorry a lot of people miss that the first time [Music] this arcade game appears in every single film in the Cornetto trilogy that being sure the Dead Hot Fuzz and World's End as well as this fence joke you're probably wondering why is it called the Cornetto trilogy that's because every film has a Cornetto ice cream dish in it and in a bizarre inspiration from Christoph Kowalski's three-color film trilogy yes they actually do kind of make a reference to that their colors symbolize an element of the film ensure the dead it's red for zombies in Hot Fuzz it's blue for police and in World's End it's green for aliens yeah okay nothing deep is symbolism but it's still there you're saying this wasn't an accident Hot Fuzz is actually praised by police from one realistic portrayal of crown work can you guess what it is no definitely not it's actually the paperwork most officers point out that the paperwork is never addressed in cop films yet this one shows it being done after every single event many were happy that arguably the most annoying and tedious part of the job was finally getting some recognition good catch there's no way you could perpetrate that Matakana you may have not incur a considerable math paperwork while we're on the subject three-fourths of the film is pointing out why LA the actions in well action movies couldn't happen in real life because of this the film tries to account for the lack of action by making mundane things look like intense action-packed moments even though little is going on additionally when the film's climax does decide to indulge in every action film cliche known to man a lot of the mundane line said before subtly come back as classic badass one-liners did you ever notice that when Timothy Dalton drive by a murder scene there's always a fitting song playing for example when he tries by the dead actors from Romeo and Juliet the song Romeo and Juliet is play only drives by the flaming corpse of another victim a song emphasizing fire is played [Applause] [Music] this isn't surprising seeing how the sound design team often reinforces in foreshadows what's going to happen in the film like cutting the hedge clippers for shadows this woman's death I was just about to pop off we're indicating a staff stupidity with a wrong answer buzzer my work listen closely and you'll hear them all throughout the film I'm the chief inspector any windows for shadowing the character's deaths are also all over the place some obvious hopefully that's the last we'll see of him I'll make sure everyone gets there just as a kind of so well I said kinda pack it in Frank you silly bastard well this certainly is a mystery trying to be solved most people miss there actually are two being set up the cool unquote real one centers around the tackiness and non rustic nature of people who need to be axed off for the neighborhood's peaceful appearance but there is another totally plausible murder plot about a bypass land ownership expanding corporations you see the land merchant was buying a little value in of itself who'll be a prime location for say a retail park it all falls ingeniously into place except for the fact that it just wasn't the motive in reality the motives were much more childish and juvenile making the joke all the more hilarious blowers was simply the result of his being and I'm Paul and you murdered him for that but he might have bill Shakespeare what this film is like the psycho or vertigo of comedies writing such a complicated and clever setup only to have it lead to something completely different pretty damn clever or about the greater good the swear jar has all the words you can't say blocked out except for arguably the most offensive word in the English language that one is shown in its entirety priorities I guess well come on a sentimental note we see Danny and his father at the carnival get dressed up in the exact same cowboy outfits they wore when Danny's mother was still alive showing he still has that quite sensitive side to it though not sensitive enough not to pull out a club on a swan I love that an interesting notion Sanford has a city model where part of the climax takes place it's possible that one of the ways Sanford wants to be a model city is to literally have a model city even the science sort of reinforces that it wants you to associate that term with the town also interesting to note that while Dalton attacks the journalist with the steeple it's fitting revenge that a steeple is what ends up attacking him and of course just as Bruce ibly you might have noticed very quickly that Fisher is not the best officer what are we ready Hey [Music] if you didn't get before perhaps this subtle image might help and the number one thing you never knew about Hot Fuzz is nobody dies in the climax yeah think about it it's violent its gory it has all the action cliches expected out such a scene but bizarrely enough every single person lives and goes to jail my thought is that maybe angel is so diehard of being a good police officer and going by the book that he never officially kills anyone that is what a cop is supposed to do right give them out the situation as peaceful as possible and while Danny always talks about those great action scenes where they blow up a whole bunch of guys in this one not one ever gets killed off so they end up playing in both their ways the only one who I assume doesn't get out alive is the guy who knocks into the bomb at the end but even then so many people unrealistically make it out that it's strangely possible he might have to I don't know if someone can survive this why couldn't someone survive this well even if he does get axed off it still was an angel who killed him he does knocked him on his feet leaving him totally murderous and still the best cop that Sanford's ever had which ties in all the more to the consistency and kick-ass nature this awesome comedy has to offer [Music] are there any more that we missed are there eight little details we're talking about well leave them in the comment section below and keep talking about movie that's definitely worth talking about I'm the Nostalgia Critic I remember it so you don't have to [Music] [Music]
