Hot Fuzz/Fridge: Difference between revisions

* Throughout the movie, notice how despite his joviality and friendliness, Frank Butterman always somehow manages to stick Angel with any demeaning, tedious and shitty job just guaranteed to tick him off, while the other officers get the easy stuff, the day off to enjoy the fete, ice cream, etc. In light of Frank's role as one of the NWA ringleaders, it's actually a clever ploy; he not only dulls the other officers' instincts and makes them resent Nick when he actually makes them do some work, he isolates Nick from the other officers, increases his resentment of and annoyance with them and either dulls his instincts or drives him out of his mind with boredom, thus making him seem increasingly irrational and diminishing his credibility. He also ensures that Nick will get so sick of the job that it would be entirely credible if he just upped and 'disappeared' one day.

* In a mixture of this and [[Late to The Punchline]], in ''[[Hot Fuzz]]'', the song at the end of the "tribute" to William Shakespeare's ''Romeo and Juliet'' ("Lovefool"), along with the gun thing, is a reference to...''~William Shakespeare's Romeo + Juliet~''. ~[[Tropers/Old Man Ho Oh|Old Man Ho Oh]]
