OK, had to put "from the... blah blah", Because if i didn`t no-one would know what Hot fuzz was and the thread would die a death like so many others...
The film, a comedy about a London cop who is seconded to deepest, darkest Somerset, Police constable, Nicholas Angel is good at his job, so good in fact, he makes everyone else look bad. As a result, his superiors at the Met have decided to sweep him under the carpet. So it is that London's top cop finds himself in the sleepy West Country village of Sandford. With garden fetes and neighbourhood watch meetings replacing the action of the city, Angel struggles to adapt to his situation and finds himself partnered with Danny Butterman (Frost), an oafish but well meaning young Constable, who dreams of being Mel Gibson. 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.
Anyway, Producution is under way! and Simon Pegg and Edgar Wright have started a video blog! and they are pretty funny.

If you love Simon Pegg, his best work is Big Train.

So it's "Lethal Weapon" meets "The Naked Gun". Good, I guess.

Yeah, I reckon some British comedians are better than some American comedians...

British films focus on the characters rather than effects and such. Not saying all American films are like that because there are SO many american films out there that are of a high standard but there are also alot of good british films out there. :)

I have faith because Edgar Wright is a really good director!

"Shaun of the Dead" was far funnier than some American comedies of late.

It's because it was thought out and not just scrambled together like some of the teen comedies I have seen. :o

Not a Simon Pegg fan,I thought "Shaun of the Dead" was overhyped.
