    Storyline

    Edit
    Top London cop PC Nicholas Angel is good. Too good. To stop the rest of his team looking bad, he is reassigned to the quiet town of Sandford. He is paired with Danny Butterman, who endlessly questions him on the action lifestyle. Everything seems quiet for Angel until two actors are found decapitated. It is called an accident, but Angel won't accept that, especially when more and more people turn up dead. Angel and Danny clash with everyone while they try to uncover the truth behind the mystery of the apparent "accidents". —Film_Fan

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      The first draft of the script included a love interest for Nicholas named Victoria. She was cut from subsequent drafts, but a good amount of her dialogue was given to Danny, often without any changes.
    • Goofs
      In the final car chase, the green screen is visible in many of the shots of Nicholas and Danny's car.
    • Quotes

      DS Andy Wainwright: You do know there are more guns in the country than there are in the city.

      DS Andy Cartwright: Everyone and their mums is packin' round here!

      Nicholas Angel: Like who?

      DS Andy Wainwright: Farmers.

      Nicholas Angel: Who else?

      DS Andy Cartwright: Farmers' mums.

    • Crazy credits
      Both the dog and the swan featured got listed in the credits.
    • Alternate versions
      In Singapore, the theatrical release was altered in order to obtain an NC16 classification after the original version of the film was passed with an M18 rating. These changes implemented to the film removed some stronger instances of violence.

    Hot fuzz
    Another brilliant comedy from these two, I rate this higher than Shaun of dead but think both are really good. Rate it higher than Shaun of the dead because I think you get just as much comedy but the action and story is a little better for me.
