Plot

[edit]

Nicholas Angel, a recently promotedMetropolitan PoliceSergeant,is reassigned to the rural town of Sandford,Gloucestershire,for being too exceptional. Angel arrests Danny Butterman for drunk driving, but later discovers that he is the son ofInspectorFrank Butterman, and a police officer himself. Angel is frustrated by the village's mundanity, his and Frank’s incompetent colleagues, and theNeighbourhood Watch Alliance (NWA)'s prioritisation of low crime statistics over law enforcement. Angel and Danny stop the two lead actors of a local production ofRomeo and Julietfor speeding. A cloaked figure later murders the actors, and their deaths are staged as a car crash; only Angel suspects foul play.

Angel and Danny discover an illegal weapons stash, including an oldsea mine,and confiscate it. Angel warms to Danny, and together theybinge-watchactionfilmsat Danny's house. That night, a cloaked figure attacks George Merchant, a wealthy land developer, in his home, and kills him in a gas explosion. Angel suspects that the deaths are connected to a recent property deal.

Tim Messenger, a local journalist, approaches Angel at a village fête, claiming to have information. However, a cloaked figure kills Messenger by dislodging masonry from the church's tower. Angel learns from Leslie Tiller, the village florist, about her plans to sell her land to Merchant's business partners. While Angel is retrieving his notebook, a cloaked figure murders Tiller with her garden shears. Angel pursues the killer but to no avail. Angel suspects Simon Skinner, a supermarket manager, as the property deal would have built a rival supermarket, but Skinner has an alibi.

After surmising that there are multiple killers, Angel is attacked in his hotel room by Michael "Lurch" Armstrong, an employee of Skinner. He incapacitates him and learns about a secret NWA meeting at Sandford Castle. The NWA, led by Frank, reveals that they committed the murders and staged them as accidents because each victim threatened Sandford's chances of winning "Village of the Year." Irene, Frank's late wife and Danny's mother, put everything into helping Sandford win the first-ever competition, buttravellersmoved in and ruined their chances the night before the adjudicators arrived, driving her to suicide. Frank has since vowed to help Sandford winVillage of the Yearevery year, whatever the cost. Angel flees, but stumbles into the castle'scatacombs,discovering the corpses of the NWA's victims, some of whom Angel had helped arrest or question. Danny suddenly appears and feigns murdering Angel and, pretending to dispose of him, unsuccessfully urges him to return to London for his own safety. After arming himself with the confiscated guns, Angel and Danny engage in a shootout with the NWA. When Frank orders the other officers to arrest them, the pair successfully convinces them of Frank's complicity.

Frank flees, and the officers besiege the supermarket, with Skinner escaping in a police car with Frank. After Angel and Danny engage the offenders in a high-speed chase and shootout, Angel corners Skinner at Sandford'smodel village.After a fight, Skinner is impaled on a miniature church steeple. Frank attempts to escape in Angel's car, but a swan, that the pair had recaptured earlier, attacks him. Angel's former superiors ask him to return to London as the crime rate has risen heavily in his absence, but Angel declines and elects to remain in Sandford.

While the officers are reviewing the paperwork of the many arrests, Tom Weaver, the last NWA member, enters the station wielding ablunderbuss.He shoots at Angel, but Danny takes the bullet. In the resulting struggle, Weaver accidentally activates the sea mine, killing himself and destroying the station. One year later, Angel has been promoted to Inspector and Danny, having survived, has been promoted to Sergeant. After visiting Irene's grave, the two drive to their next crime scene.

Production

[edit]

Development

[edit]

DirectorEdgar Wrightwanted to write and direct a cop film because "there isn't really any tradition of cop films in the UK... We felt that every other country in the world had its own tradition of great cop action films and we had none."[12]Wright and Pegg spent eighteen months writing the script.[13]The first draft took eight months to develop, and after watching 138 cop-related films for dialogue and plot ideas and conducting over fifty interviews with police officers for research, the script was completed after another nine months.[13][14]The title was based on the various two-word titles of action films in the 1980s and 1990s.[15]In one interview Wright declared that he "wanted to make a title that really had very little meaning... likeLethal WeaponandPoint BreakandExecutive Decision."In the same interview, Pegg joked that many action films' titles" seem to be generated from two hats filled with adjectives and nouns and you just, 'Okay, that'll do.' "[15]While writing the script, Wright, as well as Pegg, intended to include Frost as the partner for Pegg's character. Frost revealed that he would do the film only if he could name his character, and he chose "Danny Butterman".[16]

Preparation and filming

Simon Pegg filming inWells, Somerset.

During the latter half of 2005,Working Title Filmsapproached several towns inSouth West Englandlooking for an appropriate filming location. Pegg commented, "We're both [Pegg and Wright] from theWest Countryso it just seemed like it was the perfect and logical thing to drag those kind of ideas and those genres and those clichés back to our beginnings to where we grew up, so you could see high-octane balls-to-the-wall action inFrome".[17]Stow-on-the-Woldwas considered amongst others, but after being turned away, the company settled uponWellsinSomerset,Wright's hometown,[18]of which he has said "I love it but I also want to trash it".[19]Wells Cathedralwas digitally painted out of every shot of thecathedral city,as Wright wanted theChurch of St Cuthbertto be the centre building for the fictional town of Sandford;[20]however, theBishop's Palaceis identifiable in some shots (and was itself used as the setting for some scenes).[21]While shooting scenes in their uniforms, Pegg and Frost were often mistaken for genuine police officers and asked for directions by passers-by.[22]Filming also took place at theHendon Police College,including the driving school skid pan and athletic track and at theMetropolitan Police Specialist Training CentreatGravesend.[23]Next to Hendon isMill Hillwhere Finchley Nurseries is located which is where the flower shop scene was filmed.[24]The final scenes were filmed at the surviving ruins ofWaverley Abbey.[25]Filming commenced on 19 March 2006 and lasted for eleven weeks.[26][27]After editing, Wright ended up cutting half-an-hour of footage from the film.[28]

Outside references

[edit]

Self-references

[edit]

Wright has said thatHot Fuzztakes elements from his final amateur film,Dead Right,which he described as both "Lethal Weaponset in Somerset "and" aDirty Harryfilm in Somerset ".[19]He uses some of the same locations in both films, including theSomerfieldsupermarket, where he used to work as a shelf-stacker.[19]

References toShaun of the Deadare also present in the film. In one scene, Nicholas wants to chase a shoplifter by jumping over several garden fences; however, Danny is reluctant. Nicholas says, "What's the matter, Danny? You never taken a shortcut before?" He smiles assuredly before jumping over four in a row (according to the DVD commentary, Pegg vaulted over three fences, and a stunt man did aback flipover the fourth). When Danny attempts it, he trips and falls through the first fence and climbs over the second. This is almost identical to a scene inShaun of the Dead,including the fall-through-fence gag, albeit with the pratfalling role reverse: inShaun of the Deadit happens to Pegg's character rather than Frost's, and he falls over the fence rather than through it. The DVD commentary says that Frost purposely looked back at the camera after crashing through the fence, to show that he had done the stunt rather than someone else.

Frost's characters (Danny inHot Fuzz,Ed inShaun of the Dead) have a liking forCornettoice cream.[29]Pegg and Wright have referred toHot Fuzzas being the second film in the "Three Flavours Cornetto trilogy",withShaun of the Deadbeing the first andThe World's Endbeing the third.[30][31]

Other films

[edit]

Various scenes inHot Fuzzfeature a variety of action film DVDs such asPolice Story 3: Super Copand scenes fromPoint BreakandBad Boys II.Wright revealed that he had to get permission from every actor in each video clip, including stunt men, to use the clips and for the use of the DVD covers had to pay for the rights from the respective studios.[32]The film parodies clichés used in other action movies. On the topic of perceived gun fetishes in these movies, Pegg has said, "Men can't do that thing, which is the greatest achievement of humankind, which is to make another human, so we make metal versions of our own penises and fire more bits of metal out of the end into people's heads... It's our turn to grab the gun by the hilt and fire it into your face."[17]Despite this, Pegg maintains that the film is not a spoof, in that "They lack the sneer that a lot of parodies have that look down on their source material. Because we're looking up to it."[33]The film also includes various references toThe Wicker Man,in whichEdward Woodwardhad played a policeman tough on law and order.[34]

Special effects

[edit]

To illustrate the destruction of the mansion as a result of the gas explosion, gas mortars were placed in front of the building to create large-scale fireballs. The wave of fire engulfs the camera, and to achieve that effect, gas mortars were used again but were fired upwards into a black ceiling piece that sloped up towards the camera.[35]When the sequence was shot at a high speed, the flames appeared to surge across the ground. For one of the final scenes of the film, the Sandford police station is destroyed by an explosion. Part of the explosion was created by using a set model that showed its windows being blown out, while the building remained intact. The actual destruction of the building was depicted by exploding a miniature model of the station.[20]

Similar to the work inShaun of the Dead,blood and gore was prevalent throughout the film.Visual effectssupervisor Richard Briscoe revealed the rationale for using the large amounts of blood: "In many ways, the more extreme you make it, the more people know it is stylised and enjoy the humour inherent in how ridiculous it is. It's rather like the (eventually) limblessBlack Knightin [Monty Python and the Holy Grail]. "[35]The most time-consuming gore sequence involved a character's head being crushed by a section of a church. A dummy was used against agreen screenand the head was detonated at the point when the object was about to impact the body. Throughout the film, over seventy gunfight shots were digitally augmented; Briscoe's rationale for adding the additional effects was that "The town square shootout, for example, is full of extra little hits scattered throughout, so that it feels like our hero characters really do have it all going off, all around them. It was a great demonstration of [how] seemingly very trivial enhancements can make a difference when combined across a sequence."[35]

Promotion

[edit]

The first twoteaser trailerswere released on 16 October 2006. Wright, Pegg, and Frost maintained severalvideo blogs,which were released at various times throughout the production of the film.[36]Wright and Frost held a panel at the 2006San Diego Comic-Conto promoteHot Fuzz,which included preliminary footage and a question and answer session.[37]The two returned to the convention again in 2007 to promote the US DVD release.[38]Advance screenings of the film took place on 14 February 2007 in the UK and theworld premierewas on 16 February 2007. The premiere included escorts from motorcycle police officers and the use of blue carpet instead of the traditionalred carpet.[39]

Release

Critical reception

[edit]

Thereview aggregatorwebsiteRotten Tomatoesreported a 91% approval rating with an average rating of 7.7/10 based on 204 reviews. The website's consensus reads, "The brilliant minds behindShaun of the Deadsuccessfully take a shot at the buddy cop genre withHot Fuzz.The result is a bitingly satiric and hugely entertaining parody. "[40]It has aMetacriticscore of 81 out of 100, based on 37 critics, indicating "universal acclaim".[41]Olly Richards ofEmpirepraised the chemistry between Pegg and Frost, saying: "After almost a decade together, they're clearly so comfortable in each other's presence that they feel no need to fight for the punchline, making them terrific company for two hours".[42]

Philip French ofThe Observer,who did not care forShaun of the Dead,warmed to the comedy team in this film.[43]The film also received positive reviews in the United States.Derek ElleyofVarietypraised Broadbent and Dalton as "especially good as Angel'shail-fellow-well-metsuperior and oily No. 1 suspect ".[44]As an homage to the genre, the film was well received byscreenwriterShane Black.[28]Despite being mostly praised, not all reviews were positive.The Daily MirrorgaveHot Fuzzonly 2/5, stating that "many of the jokes miss their target" as the film becomes more action-based.[45]Anthony Quinn ofThe Independentsaid, "The same impish spirit [as inSpaced] is uncorked here, but it has been fatally indulged ".[46]

In 2016,Empiremagazine rankedHot Fuzz50th on their list of the 100 best British films, with their entry stating, "the second in their planned trilogy again nails the genre clichés, with everything fromPoint BreaktoBad Boys II(both openly referenced) humorously homaged. Pegg's natural chemistry with long-time real-life pal Frost remains endearing as ever. Elsewhere, theScooby-Doo-meets-Screammystery is peppered with Britain's finest talent, playing up the English small-town clichés to great effect in a brilliantly incongruous meeting of sleepy rural life and stabby violent action. "[47]
