History Heartwarming / HotFuzz

** Even better is Andy #1 and Angel's moment shortly after (when Angel goes after Skinner) After the epic shootout in Somerfield]] when one of the [[PunnyName Andys]] turns to Nicholas and tells him 'Don't go being a twat now' in response to 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:

** Not only does Angel have a beautiful house instead of the impersonal dorm he used to live in, he also now has real friends and a healthy work-life balance.

** The Andys ask Nick for advice in storming the butcher counter, since they may have guns but the butchers have "cutlery" aka a lot of knives and aim. Nick thinks and then says, "Idea." Cue an OhCrap from the butchers as everyone is screaming with excitement, storming the counter with grocery carts. The Andys are in the front since they're fully protected, while Nick and Danny are in the back, and two cops provide cover fire. It's perfect synchronicity and CharacterDevelopment. After it's done, the Andys give each other high-fives while Nick praises their good work.

* At the end when Angel [[spoiler: leaves flowers at Danny's mother's grave with him.]]
* The look of awe on Danny's face when Nicholas [[spoiler:returns to Sandford instead of going back to London.]]
** Nicholas revealing he bought a second pair of sunglasses for Danny. [[spoiler:He knew Danny would have his back against the NWA.]]
* After suiting up in riot gear to try and quell the shootout, the cops all lower their guns in the pub when Nick points out it's weird how there are so many accidents yet so few homicides. They agree, it ''is'' weird. Butterman tries to bring them into rank, but Danny stands up to him, telling him that "Mum" wouldn't have liked the person he had become and revealing he's a killer. That's all the cops need to know to turn on Butterman and take Nick's side. Brainwashed yes, but not stupid or evil.

** Even better is Andy #1 and Angel's moment shortly after (when Angel goes after Skinner) After the epic shootout in Somerfield]] when one of the [[PunnyName Andys]] turns to Nicholas and tells him 'Don't go being a twat now' in response to 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. :

* 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.

** When asked by the florist Leslie if the peace lily is for "anyone special", Angel hesitates while he thinks, then replies "yes it is".

* The look of awe on Danny's face when Nicholas [[spoiler: returns to Sandford instead of going back to London.]]
** Nicholas revealing he bought a second pair of sunglasses for Danny. [[spoiler: He knew Danny would have his back against the NWA.]]

'''Danny:''' S'yours, isn't it.\\

* Even more heartwarming is Angel's smile as he responds that he wouldn't 'give him the satisfaction.

* Nick's insistence on calling Doris a "police officer" rather than "policewoman". Because according to him, gender has nothing to do with it.

** After two decades of bizarre disappearances and "accidents" the Sandford citizens are ACTUALLY safe!

* The happy ending. Not only does Angel have a beautiful house instead of the impersonal dorm he used to live in, he also now has real friends and a healthy work-life balance. After a years-long slump the Sandford police is now active and effective, taking every case seriously. And last but not least, the Sandford citizens are ACTUALLY safe!

* A young boy winds up in the middle of the final confrontation with Skinner. After Angel thinks he's subdued him, he goes to check on the boy, and when Skinner gets back up and charges with a box cutter, Angel pushes the boy behind him. He does the same a few moments later, when Frank tries to shoot him.

* After the [[spoiler: epic shoot out in Somerfield]] when one of the [[PunnyName Andys]] turns to Nicholas and tells him 'Don't go being a twat now' in response to [[spoiler: Nicholas going after Skinner on his own.

** 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 openly let him into the group.

* 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 [[Film/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.
** Even better is Andy #1 and Angel's moment shortly after (when Angel goes after Skinner):

* 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 behaviour. [[spoiler:Turns into a TearJerker when it turns out she killed herself. In a way, he's saying her death was someone's fault.]]

* [[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.]]

* When asked by Leslie if the peace lily is for "anyone special", Angel hesitates while he thinks, then replies "yes it is".

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

* How much Angel grows to respect and care for Danny. As where orginally it's painfully clear Angel doesn't see Danny as a ''real'' police officer, and felt stuck with him.

* How much Angel grows to respect and care for Danny. As where orginally he just saw him as a nuisance, and someone he had to ''babysit''.
