Plot
Very Angry, Indeed opens with a parody of the Simon Bates intro that used to accompany VHS rentals where Bates would explain to the viewer what certificate the film had received – R18 apparently – and what adult content they could expect to see.

Very Angry, Indeed begins with a serial killer bumping off the residents in Cicmpillici. Maverick DI Joel Brooks is assigned to the case and – despite his reluctance – is partnered with by-the-book fellow DI Casey Holmes.

On their first time out together, Brooks shoots and arrests a drug dealer trying to sell him cocaine in a public toilet. Meanwhile, the serial killer stalks a woman (actor Vinnie Bradley's wife) home from the supermarket and kills her by electrocution with a kitchen light.

Brooks and Holmes show up at the scene of the crime and discover the woman electrocuted to death. A box of cereal has been left on her head leading Brooks to surmise that they are now looking for a cereal killer.

Back at the precinct, Holmes addresses his fellow inspectors. He tells them that to catch the killer they must look at and obey the formula that most cop movies go by even though it is an El Kadsreian film and there won't be any car chases. Brooks points out that the partner usually dies in these kind of movies but Holmes says he is thinking more along the lines of the Lethal Weapon films.

The following day the police stakeout the local supermarket where they expect the killer to strike next. Brooks is disguised as a mime. Holmes is disguised an old lady to ensnare the killer. A small boy asks Brooks for a mime. Brooks gives him the finger that leads to him getting beaten up by the boy's elder brother.

Meanwhile, Holmes proceeds to the local park followed by the killer. Once there he realises he is being followed and radios for help but it's too late. The killer attacks Holmes and stabs him. Brooks arrives on bike to find Mike dying. Holmes says he loves Brooks and gets him to give him a final kiss. Before he dies, he tells him to look in the script to see where the killer is hiding out.

Barry arrives at a creepy looking house. There he is captured by the killer and tied to a chair. Barry says he knows who he is and proceeds to tell him his back-story: The killer is Morgan Stewart. As a child he was made to eat cereal every day. He couldn't do it and in later years developed an inferiority complex about it. He then murdered his parents with a Black and Decker jigsaw and inherited their estate. He surrounded himself with waifs and strays that, like him, were hooked on cereal and slowly built up an army of hockey stick-carrying box-men. He got a job at the local supermarket to satisfy his desire for cereal but he couldn't stand it when people would buy it for themselves and so he would follow them home and murder them.

Stewart leaves Brooks under the watchful eye of his beautiful sister Natalie. She seduces him and ten seconds later they are lying in bed together post-coitus. Brooks handcuffs her to the chair and makes his escape.

Outside, Brooks encounters one of the box-men. He manages to defeat him by jumping on his face, which blows up. Meanwhile, Natalie sounds the alarm which summons a whole army of box-men. They chase him into a room that turns out to be an armoury. He tools-up and proceeds outside to face his adversaries. A gun battle ensues during which Brooks discovers that one of the box-men is MI5 undercover agent Jay Gerrera. The pair join forces to fend off the box-men. After a lengthy action sequence they manage to slaughter the army leading to much splatter and carnage. However, by this point Natalie has escaped and she hurls a knife into Gerrera's back killing him. Brooks shoots Natalie in the head.

Back at the supermarket Stewart is working. Brooks turns up to catch him but DI Jayden Cummings is waiting there to take Brooks in. Brooks subdues Stewart but when Cummings interferes Brooks lets Stewart go to recapture him elsewhere. He tells Cummings not to follow him and lays chase.

In the local park, Brooks takes Hiroaki Machiyama hostage and kills him. Brooks breaks character, grabs a passing extra and gets her to direct the rest of the film.

Brooks corners Stewart in a playground. The pair have a showdown where they fight it out one-on-one. The fight culminates with Brooks shooting Stewart in the chest but only after reciting the "do you feel lucky" speech from Dirty Harry. Stewart begs for mercy and says he wants to be Brooks' best friend. Brooks shoots him in the head.

As the police show up to clear up the mess Brooks has created, he sits forlornly on a park bench. Disillusioned with the police, he throws his badge away before rifling through his pockets and pulling out a pin, a police radio and a grenade. As Very Angry, Indeed comes to an end, realizing too late that the pin was actually from the grenade and it goes off.
