Continuity mistake: Nick's character is eating an ice cream in the police car and eats the whole thing. When the shot changes to Simon's side, he's still got about half of it left.
Hot Fuzz (2007)
Ending / spoiler
Directed by: Edgar Wright
Starring: Bill Nighy, Jim Broadbent, Simon Pegg, Martin Freeman, Timothy Dalton, Paddy Considine, Nick Frost, Bill Bailey, Rafe Spall
The N.W.A. is a cult that kills anyone who they feel ruins their opportunity to become Village of the Year. They killed the living statue, the underage drinkers, the shoplifter and several others and put their bodies in an underground grotto. Angel (Simon Pegg) comes back to town and loads up on all of the farmer's weapons from the evidence locker, where he proceeds to shoot all the members of the N.W.A. (although they are all only wounded). The cops and Danny (Nick Frost) who were just ignorant help him take people down. The bartender gets his head crushed by a bear trap, the doctor gets shot in the foot, the crossword 'hag' gets knocked out by a potted plant, Lurch is thrown into a freezer, Skinner (Timothy Dalton) gets a miniature steeple through his chin but lives, and Danny's father (Frank Broadbent) escapes only to be attacked by the swan and crash his car into a tree. Everyone is thrown in jail and as they are filling out paperwork, the one cult member left attacks Nick with an old musket-type weapon and Danny jumps in front and is shot. Nick chases the man into the evidence room where he accidentally sets off the sea-mine, blowing up the entire station. One year later, Nick and Danny put flowers on Danny's mother's grave. Doris on dispatch tells them there are hippies digging through the recycling bin near the grocery store and they tear through town in their police car.

DS Andy Wainwright: Two blokes and a fuck-load of cutlery!
Trivia: Real life police actually praise this movie for one aspect. And that is the realistic depiction of paperwork being done after every event. Most police films and shows never show or talk about the paperwork and cops were glad to see the most annoying part of the job finally get recognition.
Question: How did Nick Frost pretend to stab Simon Pegg?

Chosen answer: In the pub Danny demonstrates using a ketchup packet to simulate stabbing himself in the eye. Later in the film he returns Nicholas Angel's notebook, hiding a ketchup packet in it. He stabs the pocket with the notebook, causing the ketchup to leak and simulate blood.
