Not only will we screen three of our favourite actions films, but you will get to see a totally unique live commentary from myself, Simon Pegg and Nick Frost, as well as other special guests from our Bad Bobby opus HOT FUZZ.

Get there early. The hardcore will be duly rewarded. Edgar” If you’re one of the few yet to see Hot Fuzz it offers a hilarious and ultimately British take on a classic Hollywood genre. Nicholas Angel (Simon Pegg) is the finest police officer London has to offer, with an arrest record 400% higher than any other officer on the force. He’s so good, he makes everyone else look bad. As a result, Angel’s superiors send him to a place where his talents won’t be quite so embarrassing – the sleepy and seemingly crime-free village of Sandford. With garden fêtes and neighbourhood watch meetings replacing the action of the city, Angel struggles to adapt to his situation. He finds himself partnered with Danny Butterman (Nick Frost), an oafish but well meaning young Constable. Just when Angel consigns himself to policing wilderness, a string of outrageously violent and bizarre ‘accidents’ lead him to believe that Sandford is not as idyllic as it initially seemed. Determined to investigate these mysterious ‘accidents’ with his loyal partner PC Butterman by his side, he sets out to uncover the dark underbelly this small town could be hiding. Is Angel simply losing his mind in the safest, sweetest village in Britain? Or is something far more sinister at work? A small village is about to get some big city justice. The film also features a killer supporting cast including Jim Broadbent, Timothy Dalton, Edward Woodward, Rafe Spall, Paddy Considine, Billie Whitelaw, Anne Reid, Olivia Colman, Bill Bailey, Martin Freeman, David Bradley, Stewart Wilson and Paul Freeman and plenty of other INCREDIBLE surprises! Don’t miss out on the MUST OWN action comedy of the year on DVD 11th June.
