Hot Fuzz Movie Poster - A1 or A2 (A2 (594mm x 420mm))

Product Information

In particular, it takes the suburban drudgery and small social landscape of Shaun of the Dead (where zombies serve as the perfect interruption to our lead's repetitive social life) and expands it to lovingly skewer an entire way of life in the West Country. If we were applying Mark Kermode's patented 'five laughs' test here (under which any film which produces five or more laughs is a successful comedy), Hot Fuzz would shoot over the bar within the first half hour. But the verbal humour is just as good, being built around the eccentricity of the characters, whether it's Bill Bailey's ongoing cameo or David Bradley's incomprehensible, shotgun-wielding farmer. Simon Pegg himself has claimed that the film is not a spoof, arguing in an interview with Entertainment Weekly that iy "lacks the sneer that a lot of parodies have that look down on their source material.

Pegg plays Hot Shot police office Nick Angel, who is transferred out of London by superiors threatened by his effectiveness. This lack of an original culture - since the Norman conquest, at any rate - tends to produce one of three responses: extreme resentment and xenophobia, invention of a new culture to fill the void (as J. It can take up to an additional 2 weeks for a poster to be delivered when adding the framing option to an unframed poster, as it needs to be handed to and processed by the framer before being shipped.Only someone who has grown up in the British countryside could so accurately replicate the often desperate tactics of local journalists (said with a mirror to my own face), the prying, gossipy eyes of the Neighbourhood Watch, the pettiness of the local business community or the unknowingly hammy display by the amateur dramatics society (another mirror to my own face). Simon Skinner is on one level a riper, more knowingly gleeful version of Christopher Lee's Lord Summerisle, holding the various local groups in his thrall and leaving our heroes shuddering in his wake. Like Robin Hardy's cult classic, Hot Fuzz centres around a lone individual with extremely high standards of right and wrong coming into an isolated(ish) rural community with a dark secret. The Greater Good' stands in for the harvest, and the murders of the village folk to secure the Best Village status doubles for the 'pagan' need for a human sacrifice to make the crops grow. By allowing this to unfold in a relatable way, the film avoids either putting the brakes on the comedy to make a point or falling apart in a mawkish way at the end.

As a former London constable, Nicholas Angel (Simon Pegg) finds if difficult to adapt to his new assignment in the sleepy British village of Sandford. This brings us on to the violence of the film, which picks up where Shaun of the Dead left off in both its prevalence and its philosophy. Using Hardy's film as a base, Wright proceeds to create a fantastic satire of the sleepiness of English rural life. Owen is clearly passionate and has amassed a great selection of original posters and is always happy to help with any questions you have. However, when a series of grisly accidents rocks Sandford, Nick smells something rotten in the idyllic village.For all their goofing around and ripping off scenes from their favourite films, there is genuine heart in the relationship between Pegg and Frost's characters; you come to understand their frustrations and the shortcomings very naturally. Not only does he miss the excitement of the big city, but he also has a well-meaning oaf (Nick Frost) for a partner. Where Michael Bay and his derivatives use needlessly rapid editing to hide their lack of substance or attention spans, Wright uses rapid editing to send up the relentless, often idiotic pace of action movies. It remains arguably the high watermark of Edgar Wright's career to date, building on everything he achieved in Spaced and Shaun of the Dead through an excellent, original script, a barnstorming ensemble cast and some stylish yet painstaking direction.
