Ending Explained
In the conclusion of "Hot Fuzz," directed by Edgar Wright, Sergeant Nicholas Angel and his partner, Danny Butterman, uncover the sinister truth behind the idyllic village of Sandford. They discover that the Neighborhood Watch Alliance (NWA), led by Inspector Frank Butterman, is responsible for a series of murders disguised as accidents.
