FILMCLUB: CORNETTO-TRILOGIE (OV)

In the organizer's words:

FSK 16 | 326 minutes | Action / Comedy

The "Blood and Ice Cream Trilogy", written by Simon Pegg and Edgar Wright. Starring Simon Pegg and Nick Frost.

Shaun of the Dead

Because Shaun (Simon Pegg) allegedly has nothing but video games and booze on his mind, Liz (Kate Ashfield) is annoyed and dumps her long-term boyfriend. When the dead rise from their graves and descend on the neighborhood with a mighty appetite for warm meat, Shaun finally realizes that the time has come to fight for something. Together with his slacker buddies, he sets out to save Liz, smash as many heads as possible and reach possibly the only safe place in the world: the local pub.

Hot Fuzz

Nicholas Angel (Simon Pegg) is a supercop. The fact that the arrest rate of the humorless model officer is 400 percent higher than that of his envious colleagues makes him very unpopular. That's why Chief Inspector Kenneth (Bill Nighy) unceremoniously promotes him to sergeant and banishes him to the provincial town of Sandford. The overzealous Hotshot immediately gets into hot water - even with his new partner, the ponderous Danny Butterman (Nick Frost), with whom he has to catch swans from now on. But then some dubious accidents occur.

After the zombie fun "Shaun of the Dead", Edgar Wright's team lands its next coup. This lead-filled action comedy takes aim at American role models with 100 percent British humor and doesn't shy away from drastic splatter scenes.

World's End

20 years after Gary King and his three best friends failed to drink a pint in each of the 20 pubs in his home village on a pub crawl, the eternal child's head is planning a new edition of the juvenile fun - the only way he believes he can escape his life's misery. But first he has to round up his buddies, who are businessmen and family men with both feet firmly on the ground. With some effort, Gary manages to persuade them. But when they arrive in their old home village, they are in for a big surprise.
