I’m liking this cinematic fisticuffs supercuts from Robert Jones.
There’s 98 fights in here, proud that my films make up three of those.
It’s my local cinema. I love it. I will be there to do a Q&A for both.
See you there.

new short film “Bitter Orange” before the screening!————————————————————
“Scott Pilgrim is a breathless rush of a movie that jumps off the screen, spins your head around and then stealthily works its way into your heart. Don’t worry too much about hugging and learning and stuff. Just revel in those clutter-free last moments when two people finally get enough of a grip on who they are to make an honest, human connection. It’s a game-changer.”
- Peter Travers, Rolling Stone————————————————————

There are no photos of me crashing hard on this very day ten years ago. I should have thought ahead and got the stills guy to document me fast asleep.
Another day in Highgate West Hill shooting the scene where Shaun comes to rescue Liz.
This was day six of a six day week and you can see the cast are pretty exhausted. I think this shot of the ‘have a cup of tea’ montage was done at the end of the day. And everyone is knackered!
Six day weeks are not always popular with crews and I do remember on this day that DP and operator David Dunlap was singing ‘I got those six day blues.’
But also on this very day he also wrapped up with a particularly excellent whip pan onto a close up of Shaun’s mug. Not an easy shot to pull off. Most people fake them by shooting them backwards, but he was bang on every time. I actually hired David because he was the operator on two of my all time faves – ‘Raising Arizona’ and ‘Goodfellas’. That is some CV…
This I remember as being a reasonably tough day in a flat on Highgate’s West Hill. We shot this on location rather than a set because we wanted to have a real window that Shaun climbed through.
The actual block of apartments on Parliament Hill is a particularly beautiful one and ironically the actual flat we filmed in was owned by Billie Whitelaw’s son. When we approached her for ‘Hot Fuzz’ she had only heard of us because of the ‘horror film’ that was partly shot in her son’s flat.
If you are shooting less than a page a day with action or effects, you have to make up the time with the dialogue scenes and so we had to rip through four pages today. Low budget films or TV shows might have to do nearly twice that, but I need to get a lot of coverage, so I found the day a bit of a struggle.
These are of course, high class problems to have.
Still in the gardens. And above you can see a couple of gags that we did not manage to shoot. There was another sequence where the gang ran through peoples gardens and saw a hanged man in and another dead body face down in a paddling pool while his dog scampered around trying to revive him. The dog was to be played by Ada who plays Colin in ‘Spaced’. Alas, we ran out of time and got neither.
We did however film this scene where they impersonate the trapped ‘Pyjama Zombie’ rather splendidly played by Nick Ewan, above.
This is on the out-takes on the DVD, but a genuine case of Simon and Nick making each other laugh in the middle of the zombie impression scene.
I love this dopple-shot. You can see Simon in the foreground and his trampoline double in the back.
Still in the conjoined gardens in Northumberland Road in Barnet and today was the day we impaled the ‘Pyjama Zombie’ to a tree with a swing ball. I love doing scenes in people’s back gardens and yet I would never recommend you let a film crew shoot in your back garden.
I am trying to remember if this was actually the day we did the first fence jump. It might well be. Either way it was the day that Simon Pegg took this amazing photo.
Here I am attempting to out smoulder Kate Ashfield.
I think I was probably in a mood because we were running out of time. We are always running out of time. That hasn’t changed ten years later.
This was the start of our days in two connecting gardens in Northumberland Road in Barnet. We had to break down the fence between two neighbours and create the sequence with the trampoline and the swingball attack. I think the neighbours became much closer after our crew had trampled all over their grass. Hope they think fondly of it now.
I don’t know why I am so obsessed with back garden chases. I think maybe most of my cut throughs walking to school were through long alleys of fences separating people’s gardens. A lot of those actual cut throughs and alleys were actually in ‘Hot Fuzz’.
I do like a great garden adventure in a movie too; be it ‘Point Break’, ‘Raising Arizona’, ‘Ferris Bueller’s Day Off’ or the much underrated ‘The Swimmer’. But weirdly I don’t think I have ever jumped a fence myself. Simon did half of this stunt in the movie where he trampolines over the fence. The first part of the jump was a stuntman, the second part was Simon. It was pretty ballsy. I know our lovely line producer Ronaldo did not want him to do it for fear of a broken Pegg.
Now that’s a photo: Dylan Moran with Reece Shearsmith, Matt Lucas with Nick Frost, Tamsin Greig with Lucy Davis, Martin Freeman with Simon Pegg, Julia Deakin with Penelope Wilton, Jessica Hynes with Kate Ashfield. Also featuring the rain!
Here’s a partly eaten ‘Snakehips’ who is seen through the fence being eaten by lady zombies, paying off the set up line that he’s ‘always surrounded by women’.
This is the great Jane Walker getting her hands dirty. She has done make up on my films since ‘Spaced’.
Here’s me with the lady zombies, demonstrating how to munch on guts.
Here’s the gang and the dopplegang in the garden. Please note that Nick’s double Matt Lucas is wearing a ‘I Heart Pussy’ t-shirt.
There’s so much talent in this one frame. Worth noting that after one line in ‘Shaun’ and two scenes in ‘Fuzz’, we desperately wanted Martin Freeman to be in the whole film in the third and final part, ‘The World’s End’.
I had a blast making this little compilation for the Empire gang. I hope you dig it too.
As a special, for-your-ears-only musical sign off to Empire’s epic celebration of movie music, one of our favourite
directors and ace pop-picker Edgar Wright has joined the party. We asked him to put together a playlist of his favourite tracks from the movies. He went away, rifled through his record and film collections, pondered, mused, and, we’d like to think, stroked his chin to a fine point, before returning with this, his ultimate movie playlist. He hopes you enjoy it. We hope so too.Listen to the seventeen tunes and cues of the World’s End director’s life!
