Hot Fuzz/YMMV

• Alas, Poor Villain: Even if Skinner got what was coming to him, you can't help but feel a little bad for him as he wails in pain from his mouth wound at the end. "Ooooow! Thith, rweally hurths! I'm gonna need thsome iceth queam!"
  • Also, Michael weeping as his mug shot is taken. You're suddenly reminded that he's a mentally handicapped man who Skinner was just taking advantage of.
• Applicability: The movie can be seen as having an objectivist moral. Angel is persecuted for being better than the other police officers in London and sent away, but he continues persisting and saves everyone in the end.
  • Except as a police officer he's almost terminally selfless and is absolutely determined to help everyone whatever the cost to his personal life might be, not to mention that he learns in the end that he doesn't need to be the best all the time.
  • Simply put, a police officer dedicates his or her life to serving people they don't even know, with no ulterior motive other than "because it's the right thing to do". That's pretty much the antithesis of Objectivism.
• Complete Monster: Skinner and pretty much everyone else who was in on the town's secret.
• Crosses the Line Twice: Timothy Dalton's character getting his chin impaled on the spire of a model church: gross and disturbing. Timothy Dalton then whining in pain and asking for ice cream: hilarious.
  • Angel finding the corpses of the NWA's victims is pretty frightening and worthy of a slasher movie. However, finding the corpse of the Living Statue over-acting his own death is just too intentionally ridiculous to keep the horror going.
  • Taking out James Reaper's old mother with a jump kick to the face also qualifies.
• Crowning Moment of Awesome: The final shoot out. And how.
  • "FASCIST! BAKKABAKKABAKKABAKKA"
  • For those viewing the trailer for the first time, Sgt. Angel vaulting a wall to kick a shotgun-toting granny in the face.
  • "It's not your village anymore!" *uppercut*
• Crowning Music of Awesome: The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion wrote the "Here Comes The Fuzz" theme which appears regularly throughout the film
  • And kicks as much ass as Nicholas himself.
• Ending Fatigue: While the big shootout at the end is a tribute to cop movies, it can seem like an Overly Long Gag to some. then after the shootout we are treated to the station exploding, a graveside scene, and back in action.
  • While the fatigue might not have been intentional, the producers note in the commentary that the effect was; they were partly influenced by Bad Boys 2, and particularly the moment where it all seems to be ending, but then Martin Lawrence declares "This shit just got real," and the movie keeps on going.
  • Plus, by the end Angel seems just as ready as the audience for the action to end. "Pack it in, Frank, you silly bastard!"
• Fridge Horror: The underage boys Nicholas takes to the station near the beginning later turn up dead when he uncovers the NWA's secret. Without realizing it, he actually sent those boys to their deaths.
• Genius Bonus/Shown Their Work: The filmmakers interviewed a lot of police officers with regards to how to make the film accurate. They noted that most Police Procedural depictions skip all the paperwork that's involved in criminal investigations. Que Angel:

Angel: Sorry, not right now. We've got a tremendous amount of paperwork to do.

• • For example, Sandford is the name of the fictional town traditionally used in UK police training exercises.
• Harsher in Hindsight: read This.
• High Octane Nightmare Fuel: The scene where Nicholas discovers all the bodies stashed underground.
  • Moreover, the concept of the town in general, where everything is run by a shady organization who is more than willing to kill for absurd, petty reasons.
  • Skinner rushing at a defenseless Angel, boxcutter in hand, with pure, blind rage in his eyes. Let's face it: it was pure luck that saved Angel's life, there.
• Ho Yay: Insinuated by the Andys, and the protagonists, of course.
  • According to the trivia track, this is largely because the script once included a love interest named Victoria for Angel. After the character was cut, much of her dialogue was instead given to Danny, often without edits.
    • This is used to make a joke actually. After getting drunk at the pub, Danny and Angel have a really Ho Yay conversation about Angel's inability to "disconnect" with work (Danny is using lines meant for Veronica). As the conversation gets more and more homoerotic-sounding, Danny suggest he knows a way for Angel to disconnect, doing said suggestion in an extremely Ho Yay tone... Only to reveal his DVD collection of action films.
      • "Well, this is me.... Fancy a coffee?"
    • Then the writers and actors went and wrote a whole series of slash drabbles. On Twitter.
      • Wright comments there "We wrote some Nick/Danny slash once. It was called Hot Fuzz."
    • The outtakes on the DVD end with Fake Out Make Outs during the Ho Yay bits. And some dry humping.
• Holy Shit Quotient: The last fifteen minutes ratchet up the action.
• Lawful Good: Nicholas is the spitting image of this trope, especially given the story about his uncle. Even though he was a drug dealer.
• Nausea Fuel: The reporter's death. Just...ew.
