To celebrate the release of Hot Fuzz on DVD July 31st, a new web game has been launched at the film's
official site
. The game, dubbed the "Sandford Standoff Shoot-Out Game," lets you load up your ammo and bring big-city justice to the sleepy town of Sanford. The object is to shoot the townsfolk while avoiding putting a bullet in your friend.
Nicholas Angel (Simon Pegg) is the finest cop London has to offer. With an
arrest record 400% higher than any other officer on the force, he's so good
that he makes everyone else look bad. As a result, Angel's superiors ship
him off to the sleepy and seemingly crime-free village of Sandford. Once
there, he is partnered with the well-meaning but over-eager police officer
Danny Butterman (Nick Frost). The son of amiable Police Chief Frank
Butterman (Jim Broadbent), Danny is a huge action-movie fan and believes his
new big-city partner might just be a real-life "bad boy," giving him a
chance to experience the life of gunfights and car chases he so longs for.
As a series of grisly accidents rocks the village, Angel is convinced that
Sandford is not what it seems. With the intrigue deepening, Danny's dreams
of explosive, high-octane, car-chasing, gun fighting, all-out action seem
more and more like a reality. It's time for these small-town cops to break
out some big-city justice.
The DVD will ship on July 31st.
