History Film / BloodAndIceCreamTrilogy

** ''Film/HotFuzz'': Detectives Andy Cartright & Andy Wainwright; Nicholas Angel & Danny Butterman become this as the film goes on.

* SuspiciouslyAproposMusic:
** One of the most iconic scenes in ''Film/ShaunOfTheDead'' is the bar fight choreographed to the rhythm of {{Music/Queen}}'s "Don't Stop Me Now".
** Several in ''Film/HotFuzz'', such as an early shot of Sandford to the tune of [[{{Foreshadowing}} the Kinks' "Village Green Preservation Society"]] and Simon Skinner driving past crime scenes with inappropriate music playing on his car stereo - [[spoiler:Dire Straits' "Romeo and Juliet"]] playing as he drives past [[spoiler:the decapitated bodies of the leads in the town's production of Romeo and Juliet]], and The Crazy World Of Arthur Brown's "Fire" at the scene of an explosion.
** The entire soundtrack in ''Film/TheWorldsEnd'', but especially the use of choral section of Music/TheSistersOfMercy's ''This Corrosion''. The use of Music/TheDoors cover of "Alabama Song" is used to perfection as well.

See also: ''Series/{{Spaced}}'', the earlier series on which the team formed, though it differed in its own creative team by being co-created/written by Pegg and Jessica Hynes, with Wright having less input overall and Frost a supporting actor rather than in a starring role. Should not be confused with ''Film/{{Paul}}'', another film written by and starring Pegg & Frost, who play a pair of Brits that pick up an alien during a RoadTrip; the movie is in no way related to the series, and has no involvement with Edgar Wright.

** Each movie involves at least one pub: in the first, all they do is go to the pub, and the characters end up setting up fort in one; in the second, Danny and Nick always hang out at the pub [[spoiler:and even have a shoot-out there]]; and the third centres around performing a pub crawl.
*** Additionally, the same fruit machine, with an identical jingle, appears in one pub of every movie.

* ThematicSeries: As mentioned, this series isn't really set in the same universe but are connected thematically.

** ''Film/ShaunOfTheDead'': The zombie-fighter with the stained office-shirt has a somewhat [[RedHeadedHero red-hair]] to keep the movie's color motif.

* AuthorAppeal

The films do not [[SharedUniverse share a universe]], instead functioning as a ThematicSeries; this ranges from a recurring ProductionPosse, numerous {{Mythology Gags}}, to the appearance of ''Cornetto'' frozen ice creams that give the series its name.

* ''Film/HotFuzz'' (2007), a [[BuddyCopShow Buddy Cop]] Action Comedy set in [[NothingExcitingEverHappensHere dull, rural England]].

* DarkerAndEdgier: Despite being the "Blood and Ice Cream" name, the movies get less BloodierAndGorier consecutively. However, despite the lesser bloodshed and body counts as the series goes on, do not assume this means the movies become LighterAndSofter.
