What an amazing movie! It's also the second one in the so called 'Cornetto trilogy'. Would you also be interested in a reaction to 'The World's End'? :)

Olivia Colman has been in a lot of things, but I would think you would know her from either The Crown as Queen Elizabeth II or maybe Broadchurch as Ellie Miller. The World's End is definitely worth a watch. It isn't the best of the 3, but still good and a worthy homage to another genera of films.

Some fun facts: The Santa who stabs Nicholas in the hand is played by Lord of the Rings director Peter Jackson, and Galadriel actress Cate Blanchett plays Nicholas' ex-girlfriend, who is only seen with the mask. The montages of him booking people are so amped because director Edgar Wright asked real police what part of the job they hadn't seen glamorized by the movies and they said "paperwork." You should definitely see The World's End. I have also recommended "Spaced" in the chat a few times, which is the TV show that Pegg, Frost, and Wright all worked on before they made Shaun of the Dead.

Also you are correct, Jim Broadbent was in both Harry Potter and Moulin Rouge!

Worlds End and Spaced are great, you should also think about watching The Wicker Man (1973) one of these days

Also by director Edgar Wright, I can recommend Scott Pilgrim Versus The World (2010)

The Worlds End is actually really good. I'd even go so far as to say it's on par with the other two movies.

"The World's End" is worth watching. I will also recommend "Paul", another great movie with Nick Frost and Simon Pegg.

The Cornetto Trilogy is overflowing with a plethora of clever puns, running gags and uproarious call backs to not only previous scenes but to scenes from the other Cornetto films. While I agree that THE WORLD'S END is the weakest of the trilogy, it is still absolutely worth watching. I also wholeheartedly recommend the 2011 sci-fi comedy PAUL, written by and starring both Simon Pegg & Nick Frost. Also, Edgar Wright's whirlwind 2010 action comedy SCOTT PILGRIM VS THE WORLD. Both are two of my all-time favorite comedies. While the other comments have noted about some of the cast members you may/may not have recognized (Cate Blanchett, Olivia Colman, Jim Brodbent, Rory "The Hound" McCann) I also thought I'd also mention Paul Freeman, who played Sanford's reverend cleric, he also played Bellocq in RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK. And Timothy Dalton, who played Simon Skinner is one of the distinguished actors whose had the fortune to play James Bond twice in the 1980's in THE LIVING DAYLIGHTS and LICENSE TO KILL.

Speaking of The Wicker Man, Edward Woodward, the star of the original Wicker Man is the same actor who plays the surveillance liason of the neighborhood watch in HOT FUZZ.

THE WORLD'S END is actually my favorite of the trilogy. It's hilarious and also has what I think is one of Simon Pegg's best performances. By now, you've probably figured out that it's only a "trilogy" in thematic terms. The stories are all completely standalone, and the actors play different characters in each one. Apparently, calling it the "Cornetto" trilogy started out as a joke, because they all have a scene that features Cornetto ice cream. But they also have similar themes and character arcs, and each parody a different genre (zombies, buddy cop, alien invasion).

The consensus is that "The World's End" is the weakest of the 3; I co-sign that. My recommendation, honestly, would be to skip it; there are just so many other great movies that I'd rather you watch. But, you know... if you get to it, I'm confident you'll like it so... if you want to watch it, I wouldn't dissuade you from it. I'm just not eager to see you complete the trilogy; I don't think it's a "you have to see it" movie. I'd be much more interested in you working on the Ocean's trilogy. The consensus is that 12 is the worst, but I *do not* co-sign that; IMO it's the best. There's one element that feels tonally inconsistent with the rest of the movie - similar to the "magic" device in The Prestige - but it just doesn't bother me. The movie trilogy is much more about having a good time watching a really well-made, slick heist movie with a bunch of charismatic actors... like, in 11 the way Clooney pretends to sabotage the heist even when it was just him, Pitt, and Damon didn't make sense either, that was just for the audience; that didn't bother me, I don't see why the "dumb" thing in 12 should ruin the experience either. It's just the coolest, chillest movie. But, you've seen Ocean's 11 and enough of the Cornetto trilogy; I'm sure you can gauge whether or not you want to watch more. When you're in the mood for it (either one), I say "go for it."

I didn't care for Hot Fuzz myself. It's not bad. I don't know. Just not into as I am with Shaun of The Dead and The World's End which you have to watch next and Scott Pilgrim vs The World which is also directed by Edgar Wright. I like his style and ways he makes and reveals things in the movie. You should check also check out Attack The Block which also has Nick Frost in it. They're also making a sequel to Attack The Block
