Bullshot Crummond

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 the silliest films I've seen. It captures everything that separates British humour from the rest of the world. Captain Crummond is portrayed as an accidental hero, who wins through despite all of his failings. It is well directed. I particularly like the use of quirky English locations.

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

Brilliant! My husband introduced me to Captain Cwummond several years ago now and I'm so glad he did!! If you enjoy wit, slapstick, stand up and roll about on the floor laughing type humour, then you'll love this! Over the top plummy English accents and twee customs only serve to enhance the viewing delights!! It is a film for the whole family to enjoy with some gentle adult humour included that will sail over the kids heads! Get out there and find this film.... it will be worth it....GUARANTEED!! In the immortal words of ....some Irish guy..... it's a cracker!!!

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 .

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!

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.

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 !

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!!
