Conclusion
In conclusion, due to the storyline behind the movie Hot Fuzz I personally believe that there would have been more men interested in the movie than females. I think this because although their are plenty of women who enjoy action movies, I believe that mostly the men would have been more patient to finish the whole movie to understand all the dramatic changes throught each of the scenes. Furthermore, other reasons behind this observation is because the movie is quite gruelling as well as murderous content, which is most likely to draw in mainly males attention than females.
