Directed by Dick Clement • 1983 • United Kingdom
Starring Alan Shearman, Ronald E. House, Diz White
This goofily good-natured slapstick parody of the popular gentleman-adventurer series Bulldog Drummond (played on film, perhaps most famously, by Ronald Colman in the 1930s) brings us the decidedly less capable Bullshot Crummond (Alan Shearman), a World War I fighter pilot, sleuth, race-car driver, and Olympic athlete. Here, our ultra-British, square-jawed hero must overcome his own bumbling in order defeat the evil Count Otto van Bruno (Ronald E. House), who is plotting to destroy England, and save a damsel in distress (Diz White).
