History Heartwarming / HotFuzz

* Angel (however briefly) trying to reason with Michael.

* [[spoiler: After Angel decides to go after Skinner at the castle, Danny stops him and gives him his notebook, tucking it into his chest pocket and saying he might need it. Not only did he remember that the notebook has saved Angel's skin more times than he cares to mention (Angel's words), Angel sincerely thanks him for it. Boy did Angel need that notebook, all right.]]

* A small one, but a scene or two after Nick has informed Danny that proper terminology is to refer to traffic accidents as ''collisions'' [[note]](Because "accident" implies no one's at fault) [[/note]] Nick asks Danny how his mother died, and he responds innocently, "Traffic collision." It's a bit ComicallyMissingThePoint (as it refers to a years-old case, not an actively-being-investigated one), but it also shows that, despite what Nick thinks at this point in the movie, Danny really ''is'' listening to what he says and taking it seriously enough to change his own behavior. [[spoiler:Turns into a TearJerker when it turns out she killed herself. In a way, he's saying her death was someone's fault.]]
* Also a small one, but Nick's insistence on calling Doris a "police officer" rather than "policewoman". Because according to him, gender has nothing to do with it.

* Another small moment, but near the end in a FreezeFrameBonus, we see Mr. Peter Ian Staker happily reunited with his pet swan. He even seems to be cuddling it!

-->'''Angel:''' (...) he bought me a police pedal car - when I was five. I rode it every second I was awake, arresting kids twice my size for littering and spitting. I got beaten up a lot when I was young, but - didn't stop me. (...) But I never forgot the clear sense of right and wrong that I felt at the wheel of that pedal car. I had to prove to myself that the law could be... proper, and righteous, and for the good of humankind. It was from that moment that I was destined to be a police officer.

* Angel's entire story of why he always wanted to be a cop is somewhere between this and badass. The fact that he persisted even when his hero worship of Uncle Derrick turned out to have been misplaced might actually make the story more powerful.

* Another small moment, but near the end in a FreezeFrameBonus, we see Mr. Peter Ian Staker happily reunited with his pet swan. He even seems to be cuddling it!

* When Nicholas Angel realises that it's Danny Butterman's birthday and not only feels guilty that they've spent the morning investigating, goes out to buy him a Japanese Peace Lily like his own.

* After the [[spoiler: epic shoot out in Somerfield]] when one of the [[PunnyName Andes]] turns to Nicholas and tells him 'Don't go being a twat now' in response to [[spoiler: Nicholas going after Skinner on his own. They've been at odds throughout the entire movie, yet they manage to come together in the end. Even more heartwarming is Angel's smile as he responds that he wouldn't 'give him the satisfaction'.]]

--> '''Angel:''' Thanks for the monkey.
--> '''Danny:''' S'yours, isn't it.
--> '''Angel:''' [[HoYay I won it for you.]]

--> '''Andy #1''': Angel! Don't go being a twat, now.
--> '''Angel''': I wouldn't give you the satisfaction.

* When Andy #2 thinks that Andy #1 has been shot, he [[ItsPersonal screams in utter rage]] and returns fire, even after Andy #1 assures him that all the [[ShaunOfTheDead red on him]] is just spaghetti sauce. After seeing the two act condescending to literally every other character onscreen throughout the entire movie, it's good to see them at least show concern for each other.

** Related to this one; when the cops are goofing off and having a laugh at the end when taking a break from doing the huge amounts of paperwork required from them. Similarly, after they've been at odds with Angel throughout the movie, it's nice to see both him relax with them and them open let him in.

* Angel's reaction to seeing the reporter he was going to speak to die before him. Most of the time he is portrayed as having a stick up the ass, yet here he appears genuinely upset.
