10 Movies That Secretly Revealed Their Endings
5. Hot Fuzz - Chief Inspectors CAN Make People Disappear
Hot Fuzz is the second instalment of Edgar Wright's Three Flavours Cornetto trilogy. Rather than duking it out with the undead, however, Simon Pegg and Nick Frost unearth a sinister conspiracy in a picturesque English village.
Like Shaun of the Dead the movie reveals the fallout of the plot extremely early on. One of the more enjoyable early scenes includes Martin Freeman, Steve Coogan and Bill Nighy explaining to Simon Pegg's character why he's being transferred out of the Metropolitan Police Force and trotted off to the countryside. Essentially, he's been making them all look bad. Pegg protests his reassignment by stating "You can't just make people disappear" to which Bill Nighy responds "Yes I can, I'm the Chief Inspector", foreshadowing the behaviour of another Chief Inspector later in the film who quite literally makes people he doesn't like disappear (to a grisly end).
Of course, Pegg's time in the country is far from the quiet experience he was expecting. A number of disappearances and strange killings are eventually revealed to be the work of Jim Broadbent's character, Chief Inspector Frank Butterman. Calling back to the earlier quote, he admits to making people disappear, because they were ruining the village's aesthetic.
