** ''HotFuzz'': [[IncrediblyLamePun The Andys]], Detectives Cartright & Wainwright; Nicholas Angel & Danny Butterman become this as the films goes on.

** ''TheWorldsEnd'': Gary King.

* SequelEscalation: Zig-zagged. Each film is more ambituous than the last, but the on-screen body count actually gets lower in each subsequent film.

** One of the funniest scenes in the first movie is the bar fight choreographed to the rhythm of {{Music/Queen}}'s "Don't Stop Me Now".
** Several in the second movie, such as an early shot of Sandford to the tune of [[{{Foreshadowing}} the Kinks' "Village Green Preservation Society"]] and one character driving past the scene of an explosion with The Crazy World Of Arthur Brown's "Fire" on his car radio.
** Tons in the third movie, such as part of the pub crawl being set to Music/TheDoors' cover of "The Alabama Song (Whisky Bar)", and the final pub scene being set to the Sundays' "Here's Where the Story Ends".
