Hot Fuzz (2007)
1 easter egg
Directed by: Edgar Wright
Starring: Bill Nighy, Jim Broadbent, Simon Pegg, Martin Freeman, Timothy Dalton, Paddy Considine, Nick Frost, Bill Bailey, Rafe Spall
Continuity mistake: When Doris comes into the station with Danny's birthday cake she has a pair of fake boobs over her sweater. But when she puts the cake down on the table they have disappeared, even though she was holding the cake with both hands.
Nicholas Angel: What's the situation?
DS Andy Wainwright: Two blokes and a fuck-load of cutlery!
Trivia: When Skinner passes the first two murders in his car, the music playing in his car relates to the people being murdered - Romeo and Juliet for the actors, and Fire for the house explosion And at the fair he's saying "splat the rat" referring to Tim Messenger.
Question: I just watched for the second time on Netflix and I have a question, How does Danny survive at the end of the film when the old man shoots Angel with a shotgun and Danny jumps in front of him to save his life? After the whole building blows up we see Danny lying on the bricks almost dying and in the next scene (a year later) he is fine. I have the feeling that there's a scene missing (like Netflix cut it out or something) otherwise I can't understand it.

Answer: There's no missing scene. He just managed to survive the gunshot. Simple as that. It's a comedy movie that's having some fun with action-film cliches. Character surviving gunshots and explosions that should have killed them fits right in with that theme. (Not to mention, even beyond the movie, it's not uncommon at all for people to survive gunshots like that in real life).
