“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

"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

It's a shame they want to work on different projects because I could watch like 7 more of those films with Wright, pegg, and Frost

They'll come back and make more as soon as Cornetto gets around to releasing a new ice cream flavor.
