After Shaun of the Dead, I wanted a sequel. In a short amount of time, I grew to love Shaun and his now-zombie best mate Ed and wanted more from that duo. Lucky for me, they once again teamed up with Director Edgar Wright (who co-wrote the screenplay with Simon Pegg). I admit it: I still haven't watched Spaced, even though we interviewed Simon, Edgar, and Jessica about it at Comic Con 2008. It turns out that Shaun did elicit a sequel of sorts. It seems that it was the first of their "Blood and Ice Cream Trilogy." Shaun of the Dead featured and is represented by the strawberry flavor, Hot Fuzz is represented by original flavor in the blue wrapper, and their upcoming film, The World's End, is said to be represented by the minty green Cornetto. In similarly tangential news, on my recent trip to Italy I discovered I like the chocolate cherry Cornetto best.

Which naturally brings us to Hot Fuzz. Hot Fuzz does not mock over the top cop films, instead it pays homage in a comedic way. Many movies contain multiple main plots that peak at different times for different characters. This is not one of those movies. This movie builds throughout until the end.

Simon Pegg plays Nick Angel, a London cop who plays by his own rules and always makes sure justice is served, no matter how much ammo he needs to expend, how many seemingly superfluous acrobatics he needs to perform, or how many over-the-top genre cliches it takes to make that happen.

Since his antics result in scaring and outpreforming his London contemporaries, Angel is transferred to the perfectly pastoral quiet English country town of Sandford where he meets Ed-I mean-Danny Butterman, the screwup cop and son of the local police inspector. Soon Angel discovers just why this little hamlet is so perfect and the lengths the locals are willing to go to in order to keep it that way. When Sgt. Angel realizes this, "playtime's over!" and he announces that "The little hand says it's time to rock and roll!" Suffice it to say that Nick and Danny rock and roll and from the opening gun battle through a chase and explosions and and unexpected hideous injury.
