  • Hot Fuzz, unfortunately, lacks a defining Crowning Moment of Awesome. This is primarily because it has a something that can qualify as a Crowning Moment of Awesome every thirty seconds - though the thirty minutes involving Angel's return to town and kicking the collected asses of everyone can potentially count.
    • Arguably, the best of these comes during the final standoff between Angel and Timothy Dalton, as the Daltonator beats Angel to the ground with a series of sledgehammer like punches, and just as he swings the finisher "GET. OUT. OF MY. VILLAGE!", Angel catches it, stands up, crushing the hand and retorts "It's not your village anymore!" before punching Dalton's lights out, sending him crashing down into the miniature replica of his OWN SHOP.
      • Even better because that entire scene is basically like watching a Godzilla movie.
        • This troper also finds it amusing that Angel is going toe-to-toe with a former James Bond.
    • Don't forget the Crowning Moment of Awesome Paperwork.
    • There is a Crowning Moment of Awesome that makes all the others possible: Danny Butterman and a sachet of ketchup. "Ta-da!"
    • Angel, kicking an old lady in the face.
    • One word: "Morning."
    • You're a doctor. Deal with it." "Motherfucker."
    • "Fascist!" * blam* "Hag."
    • The reprise of the swan.
    • Angel strapping pretty much every gun in the evidence locker on. And his Improbable Aiming Skills.
