Perfect, unless you just don't get it (I suppose).......2006-04-11

It's not a take-off of the Pink Panther, it's a take-off of Bulldog Drummond who was one of the original 1920s action heroes. Bulldog was a WWI veteran action hero characterised by slightly unlikely explanations of how he got out of situations. Bullshot is characterised by ludicrously funny explanations of how he got out of situations. Each time he gives his explanation (such as "I talk squid" IIRC) it is greeted by his devoted girlfriend with the loving phrase "Oh Bullshot!". Do I need to change the letter for you?

I'd call this a farce (definition: A light dramatic work in which highly improbable plot situations, exaggerated characters, and often slapstick elements are used for humorous effect.), I can only assume that one star guy doesn't understand farce, satire, irony and other indirect humor.

This is one of the very few films I have been waiting years to acquire on DVD. I won't waste my money on tapes.

If you are American you will never understand this Movie.......2005-03-13

British humour is so far out there, Americans will never understand. From Red Dwarf, Black Adder and other British comedies, only a pure bred Brit can find the humour in this entertaining... Watch more British movies to be able to understand this, one movie springs to mind Shawn of the Dead.

very, very funny (but only if you like that type of humor).......2004-03-16

Bullshot is a British take off on the Inspector Clouseau/Pink Panther type theme, but imho considerably more entertaining and better done. It's set about the 1920s, very authentic looking sets. The humor is a little rough at times, couldn't recommend it to my mother, but it is among my favorites; Course my favorites also include: Brazil, Real Men, Dr. Strangelove and some Monty Python movies. If your sense of humor is like mine, then you'll LOVE Bullshot! :o)

Complete Bullsh*t.......2003-12-26

This film is one of if not THE worst film I have ever seen. It is definately not even worth 1 star. Made by George Harrison's Handmade films (And after watching this there is no suprise it went bust). George Harrison had to mortgage his home Friar Park to pay for the production of Monty Python's Life Of Brian but one feels that all George had to do to fund this film was to sell a pair of badly damaged socks on a market stall. The film is filmed in and around George's Friar Park estate and George also sings backing vocals on the theme but don't let this fool you! This film has no plot as such nor any acting that can be seen. It features Mel Smith and Billy Connolly in minor rolls but their neing there unfortunately doesn't help this dead film. One feels that the film would have been many times better if either of them had had a real role or had written it. There is one plus to this film.... After you watch this film ANY film will seem like an oscar winning performance!

One of the best comedies ever made!.......2003-10-21

This underrated classic is an example of english humour at it's very best. It contains quotes as "I'm a collector of rare insects", "Don't bother to salute", "three on a match" and "I propose mass global war!". If you see the film you'll understand them. Or maybe not.
Anyways it's a film I've seen many times over and over, and it's sad that it didn't launch a career like Monty Python's for these guys. (Monty Python is said to have put some money into this project (Handmade Films).) I know this cast have done two more films "Papa Pepe's Show" and "Tarnished Silver". I don't know where to get them.
And where can I get a hold of Bullshot on DVD for europe?
