Hot Fuzz

[Demon Cleaner]

I just watched this one, and I have to say it's just hilarious. Unfortunately I did not get all the jokes, as it's an english (UK, not US) movie, and american is far more understandable than english.

But nonetheless, I immensely enjoyed this movie and give it a 9/10. A MUST see.

Yea those guys are great. I bought Shaun of the Dead ages ago, and my parents finally watched it....my Mum was like wtf at the start...but then the humour came in and she was in tears.

Must download this as I'm sure like in SOTD there's a lot of more subtle jokes that I missed first time round.

A great film.
What did you mean by American is far more understandable than English?

How can I explain this? American speak clearer, they pronounce every word, whereas UK guys tend to swallow the words making it sometimes quite impossible to understand the word or even the complete sentence. They also speak faster and add often some kind of slang.

I saw Hot Fuzz at the cinema originally and thought it was great.

I do get what you mean about English DC. We have a very large range of local accents within the UK that vary a lot from one end of the country to the other. Many people from other countries just think we all sound like Londoners but when they really hear people talking from different parts of the UK such as Cornwall, Bristol, Yorkshire, Liverpool, Manchester, Leeds, Glasgow etc there is a huge variety, and regional slang is completely different too. Even to the point where someone from southern England can sometimes not understand accents or slag from some areas in the North or West.

Something I've always wondered is if accents and local slang are common in other countries. Do they also have completely different accents in different areas of the country and different slang? To the point that you can easily recognise the region of the country they come from?
