Great parody of action comedies and loaded with dark humour.

Rating: 8/10 (10 December 2008)

Nicolas Angel (Simon Pegg), who is outstanding police officer in London. Which Nicolas unintentionally makes others police officers looks painfully bad. His superior (Bill Nighy) sends Angel to a small, seemingly dull quiet town. But once Angel arrives, he sees otherwise and his partner is a ambitious wannabe action super-cop (Nick Frost). Both police officers are trying to uncover an bizarre conspiracy between the town's villagers are not what they seemed to be.
Directed by Edgar Wright (Shaun of the Dead) made an entertaining dark satirical comedy with terrific moments of humour and action sequences. Director Wright is certainly paying tribute to filmmakers like Michael Bay, John Woo and especially Tony Scott in the well staged action scenes. Pegg and Frost are certainly hoots in their roles but they are surrounded by a top British supporting cast like Oscar-Winner:Jim Broadbent, Paddy Considine, Timothy Dalton, Billie Whitelaw, Edward Woodward, Paul Freeman, Staurt Wilson and more.
The Three Disc Collector's Set of "Hot Fuzz", the DVD extras are terrific. Disc One has an sharp anamorphic Widescreen (2.35:1) transfer and an strong Dolby Digital 5,1 Surround Sound. Disc one has five commentaries tracks from the cast & crew also including Oscar-Winner filmmaker:Quention Tarantino! Disc one also has Outtakes, Deleted Scenes and more.
Disc two has an amateurish but rather amusing action spoof... directed by the young director at 18 years old titled "Dead Right" with two optional commentaries by the director and actors:Pegg & Frost. Disc two also includes an featurettes.
Disc Three has the extended "The Fuzzball Rally" uncut with optional commentary by Pegg, Frost, Wright and Joe Cornish. Disc three has more DVD extras. This three disc Collector's Edition DVD is certainly one of the best produced DVD's out-there. "Hot Fuzz" is certainly an fun action/dark comedy that pays homage in a humorous way to memorable action American cop films. If you haven't seen "Hot Fuzz", don't miss it. Written by the director and actor:Pegg. Steve Coogan and Cate Blanchett appears uncredited. Look quickly for Oscar-Winner filmmaker:Peter Jackson in the opening montage. Super 35. (****/*****).
