Buddy List

In the buddy-cop send-up Hot Fuzz, Simon Pegg and Nick Frost are like the Odd Couple of police partners: Pegg's tight-ass Nicholas (at right) is a hotshot transferred out of London for showing up his colleagues; Frost's jokey, lazy Danny (left) is a bumbling idiot whose main qualification for his job is that he's the chief's son. Together, the two help uncover a series of murders in their sleepy village — but not before going through the gauntlet of action-movie scenarios (car chases, gun fights, etc.).
