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.

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!

90 minutes of Crazy Zany Fun.

This film is absolutely hilarious. I have seen many Bulldog Drummond episodes, and the original Ronald Coleman film. Bullshot parody's them down to the last detail. Sherman is hilarious as Captain Hugh Bullshot Crummond. The antics of Crummond, and his friends will keep you in stitches. The great cast includes Billy Connely, Mel Smith, and Ron Pember. It appears that this film is being scheduled for a DVD release, hopefully special features will be included. This gem was produced by George Harrison's "Handmade Films" company. I would have thought that this films reputation would have sored to becoming a cult classic by this point. If you like crazy, nonsense, silly comedy; see this film.

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 !

This film contains possibly the best line EVER

Right at the beginning it happens. Never has the manufacturer of a plane lent itself so superbly to a one-liner.

This film is simply awesome. We have three copies of it just in case something happens to one of them. Its subtle and downright silly all at the same time but desperately clever.

You'll never be able to look at a chicken in quite the same way again. From start to finish every comment is hilarious - from the "Oh Bullshot!" on the cliffs to the "Its so big and wubbery" in the castle dungeons. Context is obviously everything here!

You haven't seen me looking like this huh Binky? xx
