When the Welcome banner for the Village of the Year judges comes down in the Sandford shootout, in floats down in the exact some way as the when dinosaurs ruled the Earth banner floats down. Another reference to Jurassic Park comes with Frank Buttermans swan-related downfall, with the its-behind-you-in-the-back-of-the-car shot providing Wright with something similar to a vicious velociraptor. After all, a swan can break a mans arm you know, although Elvis the actual name of the swan in Hot Fuzz didnt do such a thing, and nor did he blow up a mans house. Of course, that is a cool fact but not the coolest in that scene the three judges are played by Edgar Wrights mum, Simon Peggs mum and Wrights old school drama teacher Peter Wild, acting as proof that cameos dont necessarily have to be famous people to be awesome.
