If Hot Fuzz hit the spot, these will too

Buddy-cop cliches lovingly sent up by two committed idiots
The difference: Spoofs the surface only — no real plot underneath

A mismatched duo bumbling into a conspiracy that's bigger than them
The difference: Sleazier 70s LA noir — the laughs come with real melancholy

An uptight overachiever partnered with a foul-mouthed wrecking ball
The difference: Improv-driven riffing, loose where Wright is precise

Idiots stumbling into a real deadly criminal conspiracy
The difference: Stoner shagginess — loose riffs where Wright is airtight

A framed cop against a conspiracy inside his own force
The difference: Played dead straight — a tense thriller with no jokes

An undercover op derailed by glorious workplace absurdity
The difference: Korean with subtitles, and the action saves itself for the end

A by-the-book agent hilariously wrong for the assignment
The difference: Formula fish-out-of-water — none of Wright's whip-cut craft

The same mix in both: grit, then momentum
The difference: The critics' underdog of the pair

Witty and playful in the same breath
The difference: Takes it somewhere less paranoid than Hot Fuzz does

Wright's hyper-edited visual comedy at maximum caffeination
The difference: A video-game romance — no cops, no village, no mystery

Common ground: murder

A big-city cop's swagger crashing into somebody else's turf
The difference: Plays its action sincere — comedy rides shotgun
