'''''Bullshot''''' is a 1983 British [[comedy film]], based on the [[Play (theatre)|stage play]] ''[[Bullshot Crummond]]''. The name comes from a parody of the 1929 film ''[[Bulldog Drummond (1929 film)|Bulldog Drummond]]'' with the lead character having elements of Drummond and [[Biggles]].

==Plot==
Captain Hugh "Bullshot" Crummond is a [[World War I]] fighter pilot, Olympic athlete, racing driver, and part-time sleuth. He must save the world from the dastardly Count Otto van Bruno, his wartime adversary, and win the heart of the damsel in distress Rosemary Fenton.

==Cast==
* [[Alan Shearman]] as Captain Hugh "Bullshot" Crummond
* [[Diz White]] as Rosemary Fenton
* [[Ronald E. House]] as Count Otto van Bruno
* [[Frances Tomelty]] as Lenya von Bruno
* [[Michael Aldridge]] as Professor Rupert Fenton
* [[Christopher Good]] as Lord Binky Brancaster
* [[Ron Pember]] as Dobbs
* [[Mel Smith]] as Crouch
* [[Billy Connolly]] as Hawkeye McGillicuddy
* [[Geoffrey Bayldon]] as Colonel Hinchcliff

==Production==
The film was produced by [[George Harrison]]'s company [[Handmade Films]]. Shearman and White reprised their roles from the stage play.

==Reception==
[[Colin Greenland]] reviewed ''Bullshot'' for ''[[Imagine (game magazine)|Imagine]]'' magazine, and stated that "it is pell-mell, hammer and tongs, hell for leather all the way through a plot that gets more deliciously ludicrous by the second. Superb (over-)acting in spiffing costumes on scrummy sets, not a few guffaws, and comic cameos from Billy Connolly, Mel Smith, John Wells and 'Legs' Larry Smith."<ref name="Imagine9">{{cite journal | last = Greenland|first = Colin |authorlink=Colin Greenland| title =Film Review | type = review | journal = [[Imagine (AD&D magazine)|Imagine]] | issue = 9| pages =45 | publisher = TSR Hobbies (UK), Ltd. |date=December 1983| issn = }}</ref>
