Bulla... Big Fat Gypsy Gangster

Not great trying to be a good gangster film but is just dung

I can't really fully express just how bad this movie is! What were they thinking of when they made it? It was a sad day for British comedy when this pile was released. There is no real thread to the storyline, other than it follows a random pattern of events and is presented in a stereotype, mocumentary fashion that has really been done to death, and to greater effect.

Many of the subject themes are not only offencive, and I don't mean offencive in a shock comedy 'ok it's offencive but it's funny' way...I mean just plain offencive!

Sorry to be negative, but there really is not one good thing I can think of to say about this film......apart from that it does eventually end.

The second worst Britsh movie I have ever seen - which is going some as the modern Brit movie crowd only deal in cliché when it comes to the flicks. You even get a bunch of smug posh people lurching round big old houses or a gang of awful 'villains' with cameos from plastic gangsters and soccer players.

For some reason most Brit movies feel like they have been made up by a bunch of self satisfied tits talking utter bs in some rich fool's over sized kitchen after a night out drinking Vodka Gimlets in Soho and snorting poorly washed cocaine.

Oh...wait a minute.

Propa Norty Geezahs. -10.

I've watched this film through from end to end four times now....seriously I have and every time I've discovered more laughs that I've somehow missed from the previous viewings.

In addition to which I've had two friends call up to say "Did you see that bit.....!!!!!" which I didn't....so I'm going to watch it again.

Have to say this is a refreshing, mad "British" comedy with a great cast which in my opinion we've been missing over recent years....and I would hazzard a guess will become one of those cult classics that we in the U.K. are known for.

My two sons think it's brilliant and are now walking around with dark glasses repeating parrot fashion most of the lead character "Bulla's" lines......something my friends and i did as youngsters with "Monty Python".

Very very funny.....not P.C. in the slightest....and thank god for that..!!!!! about time someone had the balls to make something off-the-wall and what highlights what we all really do find funny and are to frightened to laugh at because of all the "do-gooders" out there telling us it's "anti this or anti that".....good on you guys for getting this out there.

This is a very low budget, strange and off the wall but a surprisingly watchable film.

Bulla portrayed Ricky Grover who as well as starring in it, directed it, co wrote it and produced it. I think he might even did the catering and swept up at the end of the shoot each day.

Bulla plays a gypsy gangster just released from prison after a bent cop put him behind bars. After his release he is followed by a television documentary crew and his Aunty is about to lose her pub whilst being possessed by ghosts. His local boxing club has also heard the final bell.

Bulla is trying to to climb back to the top of the heap but the world has changed a lot since he has been inside.

Grover probably called in a few favours from friends when he did his stint in Eastenders and other shows. He was also aided by the hit TV show, Big Fat Gypsy wedding hence the punning title.

It's a mixed bag, rather Marmite, some people will hate this film, and its low budget limitations are plain to see but its reach has to be admired.

Grover puts everything in his performance as the hyper Bulla and there are some nifty performances from Rufus Hound, Omid Djalili and especially Steven Berkoff as the Eastern mystic.

It is funny, violent, weird but worth a watch.
