Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. In the montage at the opening of the film, we are told that Nicholas Angel graduated from Cambridge University with a double first in which two subjects?

Answer: Politics and sociology

We also learn that he was born and schooled in London, attended Hendon college of police training, graduated top of his class, received the baton of honour, graduated with distinction to the London Metropolitan Police service, received nine special commendations and four injuries in the line of duty in the past year. The scene is appropriately set to Adam Ant's 'Goody Two Shoes'!
2. What is the name of Nicholas' ex-girlfriend?

Answer: Jeanine

Jeanine is played by 'Lord of the Rings' actress Cate Blanchett, who was uncredited for the role. In the movie, the guy she is dating (having been dumped by Nicholas) is voiced by director Edgar Wright, even though the body actually belongs to Chris Waitt. Chris originally played the part, but was not around when ADR was taking place, so Edgar Wright stepped in to do the voice-over.
3. Nicholas is transferred to Sandford, a small town in Gloucestershire. He is supposed to be staying in a cottage, but it isn't ready yet. Where does he end up lodging instead?

Answer: The Swan Hotel

The exterior shots for Sandford, Gloucestershire were actually filmed in Wells, Somerset, the hometown of director Edgar Wright, who said it was extremely strange to be filming an action movie in all of his old haunts. The Swan Hotel is a real hotel in Wells and was used to shoot the exteriors for the Swan Hotel in the movie.
4. On his very first night in Sandford, Nicholas ends up arresting a number of people, mainly for being drunk and disorderly. How many people did he actually arrest?

Answer: 5

On arriving in the pub, he finds it to be populated by underage drinkers, whom he promptly expels. Later, on leaving, he arrests Constable Danny Butterman (played by Nick Frost) for driving under the influence of drinking. While taking him to the police station, he happens upon some of the underage drunks he kicked out of the pub.

He arrests the four of them for being drunk and disorderly. A big deal is made of the paperwork in this scene. It is shot almost like an action scene, with rock music belting in the background.

This is because when Edgar Wright and Simon Pegg were doing research for the film, they talked to many police officers. The top complaint they discovered about the portrayal of the police in the movies is that the paperwork aspect of the job is often glossed over. Pegg and Wright therefore decided to make sure the paperwork got the proper amount of attention in 'Hot Fuzz'.
5. When Nicholas goes on a morning run on his first day in Sandford he meets most of the members of the NWA. What is written on Simon Skinner's t-shirt?

Answer: Sandford Fun Runners

Interestingly, in this scene, all the members of the NWA stand in the same positions that they will later occupy during the shootout at the end of the movie. Another trivia point is that the twins who drive the car pickup truck down the street are also the butchers in Somerfield supermarket, and they also played crazed zombie twins in 'Shaun of the Dead'.
6. Having been shown round the police station, Nicholas has only one question for his superior Frank Butterman. What is that question?

Answer: "Why is everyone eating chocolate cake?"

It turns out that the reason everyone is eating chocolate cake is because Danny was compelled to buy some as punishment for losing his hat a couple of days ago. Edgar Wright and Simon Pegg said that this was based on actual experiences related to them while they were interviewing real police officers. Apparently, people who mess up paperwork or other such trivial errors often make up for it by buying cake or some other sweets for the station.
7. What was Nicholas' connection with the first two murder victims?

Answer: He had stopped them for speeding earlier that same day.

The first two murder victims were Eve Draper and Martin Blower, two aspiring actors who took part in a dreadful performance of 'Romeo and Juliet' on the eve of their murders. As Nicholas later finds out, the NWA killed Martin Blower for being a terrible actor and having an affair with Eve Draper, and they killed Eve Draper for having an annoying laugh.

Simon Skinner: "He was simply an appalling actor."
Nicholas Angel: "You murdered him for that?!"
Simon Skinner: "Well he murdered Bill Shakespeare!"
Nicholas Angel: "What?!? [realizing] Oh..."
8. Nicholas has a hard time fitting in at Sandford Police Station at first. What does he find taped to the inside door of his locker one day?

Answer: A graffitied version of the newspaper article written about him.

This isn't the only prank played on him. Someone writes an insulting name on the inside of the brim of his hat, and in a deleted scene, his locker was filled with apples that spilled on top of him when he opened it. In one of the commentaries, Simon Pegg revealed that his wife was very upset when she saw that part of the movie, as she didn't like the idea of him being picked on!
9. When newspaper editor Tim Messenger is murdered, he is waiting to meet with Nicholas. Where did they arrange to meet?

Answer: Church yard

Nicholas comes running round the corner of the church just in time to see Tim Messenger have his head blown off by a bit of falling masonry. His death is actually foreshadowed several times in the preceding scene, with such lines as "Somebody's going to get a surprise at 3 o' clock this afternoon!" and when Tim's name comes out of the raffle "Tim, your number's up!".

In one of the commentaries, Edgar Wright revealed that when Tim's body falls forward, it was actually a stunt man who had his head bent to one side. Apparently this was one of the most dangerous stunts done in the movie, because the stunt man was putting his neck at risk and couldn't see what he was doing.
10. Fittingly, the last line of the film is delivered by Nicholas Angel. What is it?

Answer: "Sergeant Butterman...the little hand says it's time to rock and roll."

Edgar Wright and Simon Pegg said that they deliberately made Nicholas look more authoritative and almost Nazi-like in the last scene so as to create the impression that maybe Sandford had gone from being controlled by a pseudo-fascist town improvement group to being controlled by a pseudo-fascist police force!
