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

hot fuzz title credits Hot Fuzz is inspired by an amateur film Wright made as a teen called €˜Dead Right.€™ The film was billed as €˜Lethal Weapon set in Somerset€™ or €˜Dirty Harry set in Somerset,€™ showing early the link between preposterous action and the English countryside. This duality helped inform the film title, with €˜Hot€™ usually being part of the title of a bombastic actioner, and €˜Fuzz€™ being a quintessentially British name for the Police. edgar wright
