Review for Hot Fuzz


How do you feel about people from rural areas? Do they have the same expectations as people from the urban areas?
Hot fuzz is a hybrid genre which consists of action and comedy. This has been used in the film to break tension and have more viewers for the film as usually male people would watch an action film.
The Three Flavours Cornetto trilogy (also known as the Cornetto trilogy or the Blood and Ice Cream trilogy) is a series of comedic genre films directed by Edgar Wright, written by Wright and Simon Pegg, produced by Nira Park, and starring Pegg and Nick Frost. The trilogy consists of Shaun of the Dead (2004), Hot Fuzz (2007), and The World's End (2013).
Each film in the trilogy is connected to a Cornetto ice cream, with a Cornetto of the appropriate flavour appearing in each film. Shaun of the Dead features a strawberry-flavoured Cornetto, which signifies the film's bloody and gory elements, Hot Fuzz includes the blue original Cornetto, to signify the police element to the film, and The World's End features the green mint chocolate chip flavour in a nod to aliens and science fiction. While the first two films include appearances of the ice cream itself, the last incorporates only the appearance of the wrapper. The name originates from a "silly joke" during the promotion of Hot Fuzz, when somebody pointed the Cornetto connection out to Wright.
One of the conventions used which had complements the movie is the use of intertextuality. This means where a text alludes to or references another text. This convention has been used throughout the film.
One of the main reasons why I liked this movie is because it gives you hints about the murderer. This made me want to watch more and find out what happens next. There are also a series of false endings which have the audience on the edge of their seats multiple times, so basically the whole film in one big cliff-hanger.


Overall, I have enjoyed the film Hot Fuzz but I found it quite difficult to follow due to the fast paced editing. This movie would be for aged 15- 20 as people who are young than 15 wouldn’t understand and it would be inappropriate due to language and violence used and it wouldn’t be above as usually people above that age would not want to watch a movie like.
