I've said it before, and I'll say it again: From Spaced to Baby Driver, and beyond, Edgar Wright is one of the most original directors working today. I've already taken a look at his first studio feature film, Shaun of the Dead, and why it's still today such a brilliant genre-blending comedy. Today, I'll be looking at his next film: Hot Fuzz, my personal favorite, and one of the greatest buddy cop action comedies ever made. Specifically, I'll delve into many of Edgar Wright and Hot Fuzz's filmic influences that helped shape the young director and his movie into what it is.
