Simon Pegg plays Sgt Nicholas Angel, a fiercely motivated and successful London copper who finds himself transferred to the sleepy Gloucestershire town of Sandford. Here the urban tough guy finds himself all adrift among the country mice, particularly his new partner, PC Danny Butterman, a fantastically overweight and lenient bobby played by Nick Frost, who is saucer-eyed with excitement about the macho world of London law-enforcement. He wants to know if Angel has ever fired a gun while jumping sideways through the air, or if it's true that if you shoot at a special spot in the brain it will make the head spectacularly explode.
Written by Pegg and director Edgar Wright, Hot Fuzz reunites Pegg and Frost from 'Shaun of the Dead alongside a killer cast.
"Funny, inventive, furiously paced". Philip French, The Observer.
