Hot fuzz showing its age. Getting change from £20 for 2 pints!

I was looking at it thinking getting two pints for a fiver was from the time of myth and legend that was the early 00’s.

In my university days, in the mid-2000s, a £2 coin was a beer token.

There’s a club in Coventry that’s £1 in, and £1/pint.

There is no amount of money you could pay me to spend time in a club in Coventry.

2 quid in year 2500 is cheap for a pint.

I remember having a night out plus taxi home for less than £40 and having a head like an elephant stamped on it the next day. Today thats barely the taxi fare!

Damn there’s a pub where I live in Australia where you can get 2 pints for $6 gbp

seriously though, what's the deal with the UK not putting beer prices on the the menu. You literally have to ask them

The note denominations getting smaller is a nice touch.

I've seen this movie multiple times and never noticed that. I wonder what else I missed.

This movie is a fucking legend when it comes to setup and delivery. Absolutely unreal. It’s perfection. Every line, every scene, every moment serves a purpose.

A lot. Edgar wright loves to hide things in his movies. As well as nods to other movies he’s made

Have I missed something other than them using the notes from their change?

No, in this gif that's all that happens. The movie is Hot Fuzz and it's part of the Three Flavors Cornetto Trilogy, which also includes Shaun of the Dead and The World's End. These movies are amazing and they have nice little subtleties like shown in the gif. I didn't notice this one and now I wonder what other things did I miss in these movies. They are great movies and I highly suggest them.

Kill Phil, grab Liz, go to the Winchester, have a nice cold pint, and wait for all of this to blow over. How's that for a slice of fried gold?

I hope that you’re referring to Spaced. But this gif is from the film Hot Fuzz.

He’s referring to the Cornetto trilogy I assume

I’ve seen hot fuzz and Sean of the dead, what is the third?

CapnCaps t1_j7r9ap0 wrote

Thank you, definitely about to watch if it’s anything like the other two!

scarlet_stormTrooper t1_j7rd3b9 wrote

Worth a watch. But it’s nowhere near as good as the first two in my opinion. Still good. But the first two are gold.

activ8r t1_j7ruxoh wrote

It's good, but there is a reason it's not as well known. It's still worth watching, but it's the weakest of the three.

Nowadays a tenner and fiver wouldn't cover 2 pints in most places!

How old is this, there's no way you get two large beers for that much anymore lol

As /u/medhop pointed out, this gif is from 2007 - a movie called Hot Fuzz

Also if you haven't seen Shaun of the Dead check it out. Great movie!

They might have seen Shaun Of The Dead, but have you ever seen Hot Fuzz, where this gif is from?

I thought this was on loop and was a part of the scene. I was expecting the scene to get blurry or something as they drank more and more. But nope, just me sitting on my toilet, prolonging my stay for nothing.

Oh I remember the days of getting two pints out of a fiver!

It bugs me that he's drinking a dark beer suddenly after light beers are purchased and clinked.

gratisargott t1_j7tn3xd wrote

Probably just because the light isn’t coming through the glass anymore. I doubt they would have made that mistake, especially since lager is a more standard beer choice than dark

I watched the loop way too many times waiting for the joke lol. Joke's on me.
