Hot Fuzz

Satires so hard that it wraps back around to being the best utilizer of the action genre tropes it plays with. Its unapologetic and egregious use of editing especially comes to mind. Also something really great about a British film riffing on typically American action conventions. Like that bit towards the end with the farmer proclaiming "another beautiful day in God's country," panning to the hyper aggressive roar of the car engine. And obviously the Western imagery of the lone-rider/outlaw figure riding in on a horse into a quaint European village square. Really really great stuff. And man what a love story, I am Team Dicholas for LIFE 🫶🫶 "Have you ever shot your gun up in the air and gone 'ahhh'?" > "NO, I have not 'shot my gun up in the air and gone 'ahhh''!"
