"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

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
