I heard at the end you pretty much figure out that this is a remake of a good movie. What movie is it sort of based off of or remade from?

The film predominantly references and parodies action films. This is done in a number of ways, including references to scenes - Angel's collecting of guns from the evidence room plays on similar scenes in many action films, including, for example, Commando and The Matrix.[23] - lines or specific moments. In particular, the films Bad Boys II and Point Break, watched by Angel and Butterman at one point in the film, are frequently referenced. Butterman's firing of his gun in the air in the final action scene is a reference to a scene of Point Break previously shown. In the aftermath as ambulances arrive, a low angle shot of Angel and Butterman matches one from Bad Boys when police helicopters arrive. Lines such as "This **** just got real" also refer to Bad Boys II. Other films referenced through individual lines include The Shining ("You've always been here"), Chinatown ("Forget it, Angel. It's Sandford"), Men in Black ("Now that's what I'm talking about") and He-Man (the repeated "By the power of Grayskull")
Point blank is what the last scene is a parody of. It is making fun of most "action" films not just one movie.

It doesn't seem like a remake of anything just a parody of a genre.
'Shaun of the Dead' wasn't a remake, just a parody.
'Hot Fuzz' looks damn funny. The scene where the priest pullsout two guns just makes me laugh. Also, for some reason, when the fat guy says "By the power of Greyskull." If you are too young, it's a reference to the He-Man cartoons. It's what he said when he was changing into "He-Man."
It just sounds so stupid to bring up that line.

The crew of "Hot Fuzz" are well-known for their work in "Shaun of the Dead." Obviously, the latter was a parody of the famous horror movie "Dawn of the Dead." This time, "Hot Fuzz" is not exactly attacking a specific genre other than cop movies.

...I don't think 'Hot Fuzz' is so much a remake of a previous film, but rather a hilarious send-up of all those countless 'buddy cop' movies produced over the passed thirty years or so....and put together by the same people who brilliantly parodied the 'zombie' genre, with "Shaun of the Dead"
