Line 1: {{work}} A'''''Bullshot''''' is a 1983 film adaptation of the play ''[[Bullshot Crummond]]'', which parodied 1930's British heroes like [[Bulldog Drummond]] and [[Biggles]]. The play was written by Ronald E. House, Diz White, John Neville-Andrews, Alan Shearman, and Derek Cunningham -- who also took roles in the theatre production and/or the film. The characters they played are: * Rosemary Fenton: [[The Ingenue]], [[The Ditz]], a [[Damsel in Distress]] who seeks the aid of... * Captain Hugh "[[Punny Name\|Bullshot]]" Crummond: [[The Cape (trope)]], [[Ace Pilot]], [[Comedic Hero]], [[Destructive Saviour]], and [[Arch Enemy]] of... * Count Otto von Bruno: a [[Fatherland\|Notorious Hun]] and [[Master of Disguise]]; who along with the evil... * Fraulein Lenya: a [[Femme Fatale]], carry out the dastardly kidnapping of... Line 32: '''Bullshot''': "Never mind that! Beat it off!" }} * [[Heel Face Turn]]: {{spoiler\|Crouch}} * [[Honor Before Reason]]: In an aerial duel in [[World War ~~One~~I]], Bullshot forgoes the chance to kill Otto von Bruno when he sees the machine-gun on his Fokker D7 has jammed. Bullshot flies alongside and salutes his worthy adversary, only to receive an "[[Unusual Euphemism\|ancient Teutonic gesture]]" in response. The act of chivalry is unfortunate, for as the [[Narrator]] points out: "The events you are about to witness would never have occurred, if he'd finished off that [[Unusual Euphemism\|Fokker]] in the first place." * [[Improbable Aiming Skills]]: "By rapidly calculating the pigeon's angle of elevation in the reflection of your monocle, then subtracting the refractive index of its lens, I positioned myself at a complementary access...and fired. It was no challenge at all." * [[I Resemble That Remark]] Line 66: * [[Cliff Hanger]]: The end of Act One. "Does this mean the end of Captain Crummond?" * [[Good Guns, Bad Guns]] {{quote\|'''Otto''': "[[Just a Stupid Accent\|Not zo fast -- zis is a Luger!]]"~~<br />~~ '''Professor Fenton''': "That means you're Hun! You're both Huns!" }} * [[Ho Yay]]: Between Bullshot and Algy.
