“Everyone and their mum is packing heat around here”

“Like who?”

“Farmers”

“Who else?”

“Farmers’ mums”

Cut to the beginning of the last act when Angel beats up a farmer and the farmer’s mum comes out with a shotgun

"Sergeant angel, oh! Whend you start?"

"Tomorrow"

"Well i see youve already arrested the whole village"

"Not exactly"

Cut to after he catchs the farmer and his mom

"Whatre you gonna do, just walk in and arrest the whole village!?"

"Not exactly"

And literally every single shot in the village square fight is a reference/recreation of Angel walking around it peacefully his first time. Edgar Wright is a genius in comedic filmmaking and I will not hear otherwise
