Hot Fuzz Trivia

• Hot Fuzz is the second film in the Blood and Ice Cream Trilogy and features the blue Classico flavour of Cornetto.
• When Danny is looking at DVDs at Somerfield, a Shaun of the Dead DVD can be seen in the bin.
• In the DVD commentary featuring Simon Pegg & Edgar Wright, they mention that the "Judge Judy & Executioner" joke was previously used in an episode of The Simpsons unbeknown-est to them.
• Robert Rodriguez scored a few sections of the film. Direct Edgar Wright points out on the DVD commentary that he agreed to contribute music after only seeing a few scenes from the film out of context.
• Nicholas Angel originally had a love interest written into the film. It was taken out, though, and a lot of the lines were cycled over to Nick Frost's character.
• Somerfield is a real UK supermarket chain, and all of the exterior scenes were shot at one of their stores. Edgar Wright chose to use it as he worked there as a shelf-stacker as a teenager, and in a nod to this, he makes a blink-and-miss-it cameo as a shelf-stacker in the Somerfield store.
• The picture of a young Danny is a real picture of Nick Frost as a child.
• Many of the characters have names with hidden meanings. For example, P Shooter (Philip Shooter) and Eaves Dropper (Eve Draper).
• Nicholas Angels masked ex-girlfriend is played by Cate Blanchett.
• Danny's DVD collection is made up of the combined collections of Edgar Wright, his brother Oscar Wright and his friend Joe Cornish.
• Hot Fuzz is filmed in the city of Wells, director Edgar Wright's home town.
• The man dressed as Santa Clause who stabs Nicholas Angel is Peter Jackson.
• Sanford, the fictional setting of the film, is the name of the town used in police training role plays.
