HOT FUZZ
SYNOPSIS
Hot Fuzz is the action-packed new comedy from the
makers of the hit movie Shaun of the Dead. With the
same razor-sharp combination of humor and
attention to detail they used to breathe new life into
the undead, Simon Pegg and Edgar Wright have set
their sights on Action Movies for their next uniquely
funny vision.
Nicholas Angel (Simon Pegg) is the finest cop
London has to offer, with an arrest record 400%
higher than any other officer on the force. He’s so
good, he makes everyone else look bad. As a result,
Angel’s superiors send him to a place where his
talents won’t be quite so embarrassing -- the sleepy
and seemingly crime-free village of Sandford.
Once there, he is partnered with the well-meaning
but overeager police officer Danny Butterman (Nick
Frost). The son of amiable Police Chief Frank
Butterman (Jim Broadbent), Danny is a huge action
movie fan and believes his new big-city partner
might just be a real-life "bad boy," and his chance to
experience the life of gunfights and car chases he
so longs for. Angel is quick to dismiss this as
childish fantasy and Danny’s puppy-like enthusiasm
only adds to Angel’s growing frustration.

However, as a series of grisly accidents rocks the village, Angel is convinced that Sandford is not what it
seems and as the intrigue deepens, Danny’s dreams of explosive, high-octane, car-chasing, gunfighting,
all-out action seem more and more like a reality.
It's time for these small-town cops to break out some big-city justice.
