The Hot Fuzz Blu-ray is Universal's single-disc Ultimate Edition of Edgar Wright's 2007 action comedy, starring Simon Pegg as a London police officer whose talents get him transferred to a quiet English village where nothing is quite as peaceful as it seems.
This is a pre-owned copy in Good condition of the US Blu-ray released on September 22, 2009. It plays in Blu-ray players and game consoles that support Blu-ray discs.
Hot Fuzz was directed by Edgar Wright, who wrote the script with Simon Pegg. Pegg stars alongside Nick Frost, with Jim Broadbent, Timothy Dalton, Paddy Considine and Bill Nighy in supporting roles.
It is the second film in Wright's Three Flavours Cornetto trilogy, and it won the Empire Award for Best Comedy. The Hot Fuzz movie earned about 80.6 million US dollars worldwide.
The joke is in the contrast. Wright shoots a sleepy village like a big American cop thriller, with snap zooms, rapid cuts and a shootout finale. Fans of Edgar Wright's Hot Fuzz know that every throwaway line in the first hour pays off later, which makes it one of the most rewatchable comedies of its decade.
On Blu-ray, the 1080p picture keeps the quick edits crisp, and the DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 track gives the village shootout real punch. If you are upgrading from an old DVD, our guide to DVD vs Blu-ray explains the difference you can expect.
This Blu-ray carries a deep set of extras for fans who want to see how the film was made:
Keep the laughs going with Super Troopers, Zombieland on Blu-ray or Talladega Nights (Unrated), or browse all our movies.

BRILLIANT film! Hilarious and genius!
I like a variety of film types, but I generally prefer realistic ones. Hot Fuzz is not even remotely realistic, and if I were some kind of anal, emotionless reviewer (I’ve read things from many of those), I would slaughter the film for its inconsistencies.
But, I’m not. I’m a normal human who likes to laugh, and this movie makes me do just that…over and over and over. I have watched Hot Fuzz probably 10 times and I am STILL catching new little details that I missed before. If I could use one word to sum up what makes Hot Fuzz so good, it would be the fact that it is “CLEVER.” Yes, the acting is pretty good, the filming is excellent, and the story is…if not probable, entertaining…but the film’s coherence, irony, and subtle puns are where it really delivers.
A couple of things are needed to really enjoy this movie (provided you enjoy funny movies even when their premise is silly). The first is a good knowledge of British slang, and the second is subtitles, at least the first time around. Due to my choice to not use subtitles, I am still, as I said, catching tidbits here and there of dialogue, not to mention visuals. Once you can understand and comprehend what’s being said, though, you’ll love this film.
Since I hope we can all agree the movie isn’t meant to be realistic, I’ll just laughingly mention the few glaring flaws in common sense (which I believe were intentional). The final gun battle was hilarious. Nobody could aim well enough to hit the broad side of a barn, and the sheer scale of the battle was mere audacity. The ease with which Angel turned the other cops from being rude and dismissive (especially the detectives) to joining his side enthusiastically, in the face of their screaming Inspector, was quite ludicrous. And, of course, the entire premise of “killing people for the slightest possible construed offense” (such as Tiller, for planning to leave town and “share her horticultural expertise with other villages”) was nonsensical. Yes, the film’s ENTIRE PREMISE was a joke.
Did that make me scoff and roll my eyes? Not at all. I did wish there was a little more development of Angel turning the cops to join his cause, but otherwise, epic gun fight and silly central theme included, I thought the film was spectacular. Again, the clever dialogue and the intricate cohesiveness are what really give this a 5-star rating in my book. It’s hard to verbally describe what I mean, but the way events and comments are timed, and the subtle background details that accompany them, work together like a puzzle or a fine clock. Quotes from early in the film are repeated later in a completely different context. One of my favorite details is the dual reference to “Aaron A. Aaronson”; watch the film and you’ll see what I mean.
Irony also finds a strong use in the film, be it the subtle irony in each person’s name (Angel is a near-flawless do-gooder, Butterman Jr. is obese, Tiller is a gardener, Hatcher delivers babies, etc.); the irony that each “action cop” stunt that Danny wishes to perform, he gets to later on; or the irony that Skinner is finally stopped by the only TRUE “accident” in the film (tripping over the toy truck). The screenwriters here were masters of clever tricks and I loved it.
What’s more, the filming is delightful. I really like the style employed here, as in Shaun of the Dead, with fast montages of various simple actions leading from one regular-paced scene to the next (such as in Angel’s journey, via trains and taxi, from London to Sandford, or his initial entry to his hotel room). Other film tricks that I enjoyed were fast compilations of various camera angles, such as when Doctor Hatcher pumps his shotgun during the gunfight, in which I counted 6 or 7 layered camera angles that actually made the action somewhat “slow-mo” as it contained a repeat of the same scene, all within the span of 2 seconds or so.
In summary, Hot Fuzz is a brilliant movie that reflects hours of careful planning, stunning acting and delivery, innovative and snappy filming, and of course a ludicrous, overly crazy plot that only adds to the fun rather than making the movie suck. I would highly recommend this movie to anyone who likes a good laugh, is not offended by profanity, and can handle considerable gore.

Another Reason Why You Can’t Have Enough Ketchup …
Pegg and Wright have penned another side-splitter! Following the daunting success of “Shaun of the Dead,” it seemed this duo was doomed to failure (just in the same way that Broken Lizard could never SEEM to live-up to their epic-success “Super Troopers”). Nonetheless, “Hot Fuzz” is equally as clever, insightful, and hysterical as their popular zombie flick. And, equally as niche: comedy-mystery! What’s more, if you are hesitant to purchase this film for fear of not understanding “British humor,” you can dismiss those worries entirely!! While this film’s humor transcends cultural-boundaries, you may find it amusing that it makes constant reference to popular American film (“Point Break” and “Bad Boys” being the most obvious) and popular American culture (like Judge Judy). Moreover, it is helpful to watch the film with the captions on … this way some of the subtle word-play will be more easily caught (like the Judge Judy bit!!)
Stylistically, the film is a gem! If only American comedy was this slick! The framing is spectacular! As well as the repetition of shape!! (Like the spiral of the tombola drum juxtaposed with the spiral of the church stair-case … so smart, so funny, so very pleasing!!) And in “Hot Fuzz,” you will find echoes of “Shaun of the Dead.” Most prominent, you will note an emphasis on day-to-day rituals: “What will it be? (The pub)” “Do you want anything from the shop?” … and then how these rituals are “turned on their head” by the film’s conclusion. The result is deeply satisfying for the viewer. Likewise, you will find a similar soundtrack and use of cuts (like the “swish” sounds and quick cuts to indicate ritual). Again, both are tremendously successful and a hallmark of either Wright’s direction or how this team elects to communicate ideas.
If you dig cop-comedy, buddy-flicks, the previous works of Pegg and/or Wright, or (one of my favorite Broken Lizard films) “Club Dread” (another comedy-mystery), you should thoroughly enjoy “Hot Fuzz.”

Very Funny!
I love Hot Fuzz! It was a great story about be committed to your job, but don’t get so committed to the point you neglect your friends. The story was also about how murder is really unjust and way too cruel, and because of sin like murder that is why there needs to be the law, and police officers to enforce it because the law brings justice, and peace. There was a lot of really funny scenes. The action was cool, but could’ve been a little cooler since you mostly heard the cool sounding gunshots, but didn’t see the cool muzzle fire. The other corrections I’d make is there was way too much appalling foul language, and really disgusting gore. But overall, I still absolutely loved the movie; Simon Pegg and Nick Frost are two great actors who did great that their roles in this film, and the suspense, and the mystery of the story definitely kept me on the edge of my seat. Therefore, Hot Fuzz is an awesome film! Have a great day, and gooo Hot Fuzz!
