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

nwa hot fuzz The NWA itself is a reference to 80s rap group N.W.A, which featured such formidable characters as Dr Dre, Ice Cube and Eazy-E. This utterly incongruous reference €“ after all, aside from their documented love for killing folk, there€™s very little to compare an English neighbourhood watch with a Compton-based rap group €“ is confirmed by Wright on the DVD€™s trivia track. Another cool fact about the NWA (the English version) is that all their members are shot in the final act standing in the very same places where they say €˜morning sergeant€™ during Angel€™s first run around the village.
