Hot Fuzz

I'm surprised that there hasn't been a thread on this yet. It is being done Edgar Wright and Simon Pegg who also did the fantastic Shaun of the Dead. Hot Fuzz is a comedy/action film about British cops. Personally I can't wait for this one. Check out the first two teaser trailers here.

Hopefully another slice of fried gold from the Spaced boys.

I have total faith in them. They parody with an obvious love and respect for genre films, so the tone doesnt come off as mocking yet is still totally silly.

Can't wait until March.

Anyone know what the music at the beginning of the second teaser trailer is? It sounds really familiar (and I'm assuming it's from a cop movie).

It's from the trailer to Lethal Weapon:

Apparently the music was scored exclusively for the Lethal Weapon trailer:

Will be a rare movie I try to go to on opening night. The trailer seems OK, I do love the Honk Honk part though.

Assuming the movie is popular and successful, I doubt they will be releasing a DVD within two months of its theatrical release.

Darn. I never noticed it.
Really? I wish it was out here by then. It's not like I'll be doing anything important that day.

This is my fourth most anticipated film of the year. Maybe fifth. Either way, I'm still really looking forward to it!

Released today in the UK, Reviews have started rolling in:

http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/hot_fuzz/

CHUD - 10 out of 10
"The movie, in many ways, is Agatha Christie getting triumphantly buttfucked by Michael Bay. With jokes. And more than a dash of genius."

Channel 4 Film Review - 4.5 out of 5
"Who'd have thought PC comedy could be so much fun?"

BBC - 4 out of 5
"A movie you'll still want to see again, if only to get all the mini-jokes."

Time Out - 4 out of 5
"It’s not a perfect template – running motifs are glaringly flagged up and there are at least two too many climaxes – but for both gags and thrills, few current British filmmakers come close."

Empire Magazine - 4 out of 5
"Even without the inspired idea of Shaun Of The Dead it’s an easy match for laughs, and marks Nick Frost as a vital part of this team’s appeal. The boys (now in blue) have done it again."

Total Film - 3 out of 5
"The first half’s a blast, but as the comedy/action/horror/parody piles up, Hot Fuzz cools down. Needs more of a short, sharp schlock."
