Edgar Wright: The Definitive Guide To Homages, Influences And References

At the pub, Angel orders a glass of cranberry juice instead of the hard drink that might be expected of a man entering such an establishment. The drink itself was a reference to The Departed, where Leo Di Caprio€™s Billy Costigan orders the same drink and gets an incredulous reaction from a nearby Bostonian drinker. Scorcese€™s Oscar-winning modern classic had been released while Fuzz was in post-production (2006), so the influences are very much apparent throughout.
