7. Hot Fuzz The Bad Guys
Ok, so this is clearly a parody, as judged by the hell-for-leather balls-out insane finale. And really, I loved it Hot Fuzz is one of my favourite films of all time, and its final shoot-out is completely, utterly and gloriously insane. Seeing a cast normally content with middle-England country bumpkin parts cut loose and go mental with all kinds of heavy ordnance is a thrill like no other. Yet all that violence must surely have a cost. For the moment, you think it might with the exception of the guy with the sword, every one of the Neighbourhood Watch Alliance bite the dust in creatively violent ways. People are shot and their heads smash into solid brick, causing spatter, someone is brained with a hanging basket, someone takes a giant bear-trap to the neck and Timothy Daltons character has his chin impaled by a bloody church... You wouldve thought somebody wouldve died from this not only are they being shot, but quite a few of them are suffering brain damage on the way down too. Yet theyre all present, correct and fuming when it comes to the mugshots at the end, which is something I find baffling. Some of these people should clearly be in hospital and probably in the intensive care ward having been shot point blank and all that yet the Sandford Police service appear to drag them right up in front of the cameras, and curiously, they all seem to be ok. I dont know whats in the water in Gloucestershire, but it appears as if it turns people into indestructible bullet sponges.
