30s fast paced 'Boys' Own' stuff!

Alan Shearman was brilliant as the dashing Bullshot Crummond (with apologies to Bulldog Drummond) the all-round sportsman and know-it-all! The usual 'true Britisher' saving the earth from world dominating foreign types! The writing team was of three people Ron House, Diz White and Alan Shearman. I can't say that I have ever heard of the first two people, but Alan Shearman was in a TV comedy called 'Mog' with En Reitel, another very funny chap.

Ron Pember and Mel Smith are in supporting roles, clearly before Mel Smith went to the US to live and work; as did Alan Shearman, which is a pity really, as I thought that he had a lot to give in Britain. Perhaps the roles didn't come his way, so he decided to 'up and off' to the land of plenty!

One of my favourite comic films

I first watched this in the 80s by pure chance. I had never heard of it and it was just on TV that day. I sat there there with my flatmates rolling about the place laughing our socks off. Wonderful little film with all kinds of toungue-in-cheek references to British culture. If you like PG Wodehouse, although a little more over the top, then this is the film for you. It still makes me laugh to this day and the American actor who plays Crummand is just wonderful. Thank you Alan Shearman for pulling our legs in that way. A very underrated actor and a rare talent, if you ask me. I always thought this film would become a cult classic yet nobody seems to have heard of it which is a big shame. One of Handmade Films' best efforts!

Just super

Very much along the lines of Ripping Yarns, so essential viewing if that's your kind of thing. The cast by itself should give you a fair idea of whether you'll like it. Unashamedly "dated"; I never find that term valid as criticism - surely any film/programme that so strongly represented its era that morons have to call it "dated" isn't necessarily a bad thing? Don't be disturbed by the moronic female lead - the actor playing her co-wrote the script and, remember, it is satire!

Ra ra ra!!

Hurrah !

Expert spoofing on the British comic book heroes of Victor, Warlord, The Eagle etc mixed with dashes of Biggles, Inspector Clouseau and (of course) Bulldog Drummond, produced Bullshot.

It is dashedly funny. With a cast of several, it follows the antics of Captain Bullshot Crummond, WWI fighter ace turned amateur sleuth. Explaining a joke ruins it and so I can't give too many details about the plot. All I can urge you to do is seek this film out.

You will never look at a banana and a pair of plums in quite the same way again.

Hurrah !

Possibly one of the best movies ever made!

I remember when this movie was first released. I loved it and saw it many many times. I bought it on video some years later and watched it over and over again, sharing it with friends as often as possible.

This movie got really bad reviews and I cannot understand why - it is quite possibly one of the best movies ever made.

If you like Mel Brooks movies you'll probably like this.

I won't even try to describe the plot here. The best thing you can do if you are reading this is to try to get hold of a copy of this classic while you can, and watch it, many many times.
