| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertMaterial like this is so zany, so willfully implausible, that unless the actors play it with reckless abandon, it looks odd, not funny. |

| User ReviewBob MA really funny adventure comedy. Kinda like if Dudley Do-Right had been a WWI-era ace fighter pilot. |
| User ReviewDamon WYou have to laugh at hawkeye - the scene where he wants to be lookout! |
| User ReviewBarnaby EInitially panned and mauled by critics on its release, which meant audiences missed out, 'Bullshot' is one of those oft-forgotten films that needs re-appraisal and has the ability to turn into a 'cult classic'. The fact that it was a successful theatre play, written by the three main actors who write and star in the film version too, is an interesting fact as it really doesn't feel like that watching the film. Most stage plays that have been turned into movies have their theatrical roots showing but this one is quite the opposite. Alan Shearman, Diz White and Ron House have created a stand-alone film that is witty, fast-paced and over-the-top silly. A parody of 'Bulldog Drummond' (s series of novels with the main character akin to a 1930s James Bond), this hits the mark in every aspect. The pace never slackens, the editing is sometimes a bit choppy, the performances are all heightened, and there is a nice through-line of satire as well as love for the era they are parodying. The extended cameos by the more well-known Billy Connolly and Mel Smith are well-crafted and don't detract from a cast that won't be recognised by Joe Public. Nowadays, I'm sure, this would've led to the inevitable sequel and it's a real shame there wasn't another Shot of Bull to be injected into the audience's funny bones. Silly, fun, and surreal; it's just been released on DVD, so pick yourself up a copy. |
