About Hot Fuzz
"Big cops. Small town. Moderate violence."
Former London constable Nicholas Angel finds it difficult to adapt to his new assignment in the sleepy British village of Sandford. Not only does he miss the excitement of the big city, but he also has a well-meaning oaf for a partner. However, when a series of grisly accidents rocks Sandford, Angel smells something rotten in the idyllic village.
Directed by Edgar Wright
Written by Edgar Wright, Simon Pegg

Movie trivia

1
Edgar Wright aimed to create a British cop film, noting the lack of a tradition for such films in the UK, and spent eighteen months writing the script after extensive research on cop-related films and police interviews.

2
The film was shot in Wells, Somerset, which is Wright's hometown. The choice of location was influenced by Pegg and Wright's desire to bring high-octane action to their roots.

Wells Cathedral was digitally removed from every shot to focus on the fictional Church of St Cuthbert, although some identifiable landmarks like the Bishop's Palace remained in the film.

Pegg and Frost were often mistaken for real police officers during filming, leading to humorous interactions with the public who sought directions.

The film includes numerous references to other action films, and Pegg stated that while it parodies clichés, it is not a spoof, as it respects its source material.
