Hot Fuzz is a 2007 buddy cop black comedy film co-written and directed by Edgar Wright, and written by Simon Pegg. Starring Pegg, Nick Frost and Jim Broadbent, the film centers on two police officers investigating a series of mysterious and gruesome deaths in a West Country village. It is the second film in the Three Flavours Cornetto trilogy, succeeding Shaun of the Dead (2004) and followed by The World's End (2013).

Plot
Police officer Nicholas Angel is known to be the best across London. His seniors, who are jealous of his achievements, transfer him to a remote village where he encounters various challenges.

Why It Rocks

 * 1) Hot Fuzz itself is a satire that takes most of the tropes from other movies of the same cop genre, and still made it unexpected and enjoyable.
 * 2) * There's a lot of quick wit to this movie, and also mixing it with a realistic tone about police officers winning.
 * 3) The story has an awesome set-up: a highly trained police officer assigned to go to a peaceful town to encounter difficult challenges, only for him to know that the town has been secretly committing murders.
 * 4) Nicholas Angel is an well-written and likable protagonist. He desires to be the greatest cop, despite his skill on being an expert.
 * 5) The Neighbourhood Watch Alliance happened to be one of the darkest, yet intimidating villains yet.
 * 6) * Frank Butterman, its founder, is an interesting antagonist with reasonable motivations: killing the off anybody in Sandford who does not fit in with the "disciplinarian" image he has of a "perfect town".
 * 7) Unpredictable and interesting story that keeps the pacing and flow feel natural.
 * 8) Brilliant acting, and charisma from its cast, especially from Simon Pegg and Nick Frost.
 * 9) Well-paced action, and creative choreography.
 * 10) As expected from Shaun of the Dead, it uses many types of comedy. The humor can land perfectly, and it happens to be clever.
 * 11) The movie has its own set of iconic moments, most notably the bar scene, and the action packed climax:
 * 12) * "When's your birthday?"
 * 13) ** "22nd of February."
 * 14) ** "What year?"
 * 15) ** "Every year."
 * 16) ** "Get out."
 * 17) If you pay close attention to the film, you can actually feel the character's death is foreshadowed.
 * 18) "Shame."

Reception
Hot Fuzz was greatly received from both critics and audiences for its performances, direction and humour. Empire ranked it as one of the greatest films of the 21st century.

YouTuber I Hate Everything considered it to be one of his favorite movies of all time.
