    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 !

    Excellent!

    This film was shown on U.K. television way back in the late 1980's or early 1990's in the early hour's of the morning.I do not know why? because it is one of the best British comedy film's ever made!.Only grave robber's,vampire's and insomniac's like myself got a chance to see this fine British gem.It has a wealth of top notch comedy and acting talent.Talent from Alan Shearman,Diz White,Ron House,Frances Tomelty,Michael Aldridge,Billy Connolly,Mel Smith to long gone dear old Ted Malt.This film deserves better treatment from the British media executive's and should be given more credit and than what it as ever had.A fine Film from a fine company Handmade Films and thank you always's to George Harrison .

    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.

    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!!
