The cinematic world has an undeniable fascination with trilogies. Iconic examples such as The Lord of the Rings, Back to the Future, and The Dark Knight Trilogy showcase how a well-crafted three-part series can deliver an unforgettable experience. In the UK, many fans turn their admiration towards the Three Flavours Cornetto Trilogy, which includes the hit films Shaun of the Dead (2004), Hot Fuzz (2007), and The World’s End (2013). This distinctive trio has captured the hearts of audiences, blending humor, action, and genre-bending storytelling.

Conceptualized by the talented trio of Nick Frost, Simon Pegg, and Edgar Wright, the Three Flavours Cornetto Trilogy has garnered a massive global following. Enthusiasts of this franchise are likely thrilled by the recent updates regarding the availability of two movies from the trilogy on streaming platforms. As of July 1, viewers can watch Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz on the streaming service Starz, although access is limited to the Starz app. These two films are often celebrated as the standout entries, with Shaun of the Dead boasting a remarkable certified fresh rating of 92% on Rotten Tomatoes, while Hot Fuzz follows closely with 91%, surpassing the 89% rating of The World’s End.

Financially, the box office performance of both Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz reflects their status as fan favorites.
