![]() Hot Fuzz is the action-packed new comedy from the makers of the hit movie `Shaun of the Dead'. Nicholas Angel (Simon Pegg) is the finest police officer 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.
With garden fêtes and neighbourhood watch meetings replacing the action of the city, Angel struggles to adapt to his situation and finds himself partnered with Danny Butterman (Nick Frost), an oafish but well meaning young Constable. Just as all seems lost, a series of grisly accidents motivates Angel into action.
Convinced of foul play, Angel realises that Sandford may not be as idyllic as it seems. With his faithful new partner in tow, Angel fights to prove his instincts are correct and uncover the truth about Sandford. Is Angel simply losing his mind in the safest, sweetest village in Britain? Or is something far more sinister at work? A small village is about to get some big city justice.
Shaun Of The Dead - the self-styled romzomcom that Edgar Wright and Simon Pegg co-created in 2004 as a follow-up to their award-winning collaboration on the hugely successful Channel 4 sitcom, Spaced - was a hit at the box office (grossing £40 million worldwide).
