History Film / DeadRight

Detective Barry Stern, also known as "Dirty Barry", is a tough, no nonsense cop with a bad attitude on the hunt for a serial killer. Shot on a camcorder and edited using two [=VCRs=], the film is very much in the style of the Zucker Brothers and intentionally badly made. That makes it the more hilarious.

-->'''M15 Agent''': Undercover, M15.
-->'''Simon Pegg''' (on the DVD commentary): Then why are you talking in an American accent then?
* AntiHero: Barry

* {{Gorn}}: With red colouring for blood and joke shop severed arms. At one point [[spoiler: Barry shoves a rifle through the back of a minion's head and the point of the gun sticks out of the minion's mouth. Barry fires away, using the body as a shield. Later, Barry pulls the gun out of the head and the minion's eyes and teeth are stuck onto it.]]
* {{Jerkass}}: Barry.

-->'''Antonia''': There's fast and then there's fast.

* VomitIndiscretionShot: Mike Tight vomits after seeing a dead body. On the DVD Commentary, Simon Pegg says "That is one of the worst pukes I've ever seen. He just chewed on a Texan bar." Also [[spoiler: When Mike gets stabbed. He coughs up blood. Then he vomits blood. Then he vomits some more. Then he vomits a carrot and an apple. Both which have not been eaten. In Simon and Nick's commentary they say "There's always carrots in sick."]]

* DVDCommentary: There's two of them. One by Edgar Wright talking about the making of the film and the other by ''Creator/SimonPegg'' and ''NickFrost'' where they just slag off the film and recall old school chums.

''Dead Right'' is a no-budget, amateur, short 1993 cop comedy film written, edited, shot and directed by EdgarWright.

* JerkAss: Barry.
* NoBudget

* AmericanAccents: Set in England, but for some reason, Barry, the Chief and the M15 Agent all have American accents. All for the intentionally bad nature of the film.

->'''M15 Agent''': Undercover, M15.
->'''Simon Pegg''' (on the DVD commentary): Then why are you talking in an American accent then?

* ShoutOut: Main character is named after ''DirtyHarry'', the camera shots are a nod to ''Franchise/EvilDead'' and there's even shout outs to ''LethalWeapon'', the Zucker Bros films and even ''Film/TheThreeStooges'' with a cream pie in the face.

* [[spoiler: DirectorCameo: The villain Philip Quinn needs a hostage. He looks at the camera and says "You'll do." He runs behind the camera and holds Edgar Wright hostage. He then shoots him. So Barry gets an extra to finish directing the movie for them.]]
