On the promotional tour of Hot Fuzz during production of The World's End, one interviewer pointed out the use of Cornetto in the first two films, and Wright jokingly said that they represent a trilogy comparable to Krzysztof Kieślowski's Three Colours film trilogy. In Hot Fuzz, Wright included a couple of brief throwaway scenes that referred to the Cornetto joke in Shaun.
HOT FUZZ FREE
At the after party for the film, they received free Cornetto ice creams so Wright and Pegg decided to include another reference to Cornetto in their next film in a failed attempt to get more free ice cream.
Wright had written in Cornetto ice cream as a hangover cure for Frost's character in Shaun of the Dead, based on his own experiences. The name originates from a "silly joke" during the promotion of Hot Fuzz. Wright said in an interview for Entertainment Weekly, "We thought it would be a funny idea to do a sci-fi film where even the people who are going to be your saviours are hammered." Connections and themes Simon Pegg and Nick Frost at the 2013 San Diego Comic-Con In the final scene of the film, a Cornetto wrapper blows past in a breeze, briefly catching on a wire fence. The film follows a group of friends, led by Pegg, reattempting an epic pub crawl during an alien occupation of their home town. The third installment is The World's End, a 2013 science fiction apocalyptic comedy. The two officers purchase Cornetto cones at a convenience store at various times, and a scrap of the wrapper falls onto the counter when Angel later makes other purchases at a motorway service station.

Pegg and Frost play police officers who investigate a series of mysterious deaths in a small English village Danny Butterman (Frost) grew up there and Nicholas Angel (Pegg) is an outsider, accustomed to the fast-paced busy life of London law enforcement.
The second entry is Hot Fuzz, a 2007 buddy cop action comedy. Director Edgar Wright has said that he used to use Cornettos as a hangover cure. The trilogy's Cornetto reference begins with a scene in which Shaun buys a cone for his friend Ed (Frost) at his request as Ed wakes up groggy and badly hung over after a night of drinking. Pegg plays Shaun, a man attempting to gain focus in his life as he deals with his girlfriend, his mother and stepfather in the midst of an apocalyptic uprising of zombies. The first film is Shaun of the Dead, a 2004 romantic zombie comedy film (self-dubbed "rom-zom-com" ). The name is also a reference to the French Three Colours trilogy (1993–1994) by director Krzysztof Kieślowski. In addition to brief references to the Cornetto ice cream brand, the films have other common elements: each one depicts romance and struggles with maturity as recurring themes.
Produced on a combined budget of $38 million, the films grossed $156 million worldwide and garnered critical praise. The trilogy of films does not share a storyline, and is named after its repeated passing references to Cornetto ice cream cones. The trilogy consists of Shaun of the Dead (2004), Hot Fuzz (2007), and The World's End (2013). The series stars Pegg, Nick Frost, and Bill Nighy, with several other actors, including Rafe Spall and Martin Freeman, also appearing in all three films. The Three Flavours Cornetto trilogy (also sometimes referred to as the Cornetto trilogy or the Blood and Ice Cream trilogy) is an anthology series of British comedic genre films directed by Edgar Wright, written by Wright and Simon Pegg, and produced by Nira Park.
