United Kingdom released, PAL/Region 2 DVD: LANGUAGES: English ( Mono ), SPECIAL FEATURES: Interactive Menu, Scene Access, SYNOPSIS: Government scientist Michael Caine and Roger Moore plan to auction off a cold fusion formula to the highest bidder. Meanwhile, a pair of con artists-also played by Caine and Moore-impersonate the scientist and his friends in hopes of getting a piece of the action. This leads to an unending supply of comic complications, deadly encounters, wacky recurring characters and Sennett-style chases. Is louder and faster really funnier? You be the judge. Roger Moore's real-life daughter Deborah Barrymore shows up as a CIA agent. ...Bullseye!

This review does only refer to the DVD not the film!
DON'T BUY THIS DVD! Every 15 year old VHS from any filthy video store is exceeding the quality of this DVD. No Original aspect ratio, no picture transfer to the 21st century- no nothig. They just used the old VHS and copied it on DVD- home-made would be better! The title is appearing is some obscure language- maybe they couldn't find another VHS- that way one must be happy to at least have an english audio track. Every penny invested in this DVD is to much!
This publication is nothing but an impudence!

Alas, I think Bullseye! is too underrated for it ever to gain the sort of quality release it deserves. This is the best we're going to get so I'm happy enough to live with it.
As for the film itself.... yes, it's cheesy and the plot jumps about all over the place, but I think it has always been taken far too seriously by its critics. It's old fashioned good fun and has some hilarious moments within; the interplay between the two lead characters being of particular note. But, as a previous reviewer has stated, there is something more to it than just the comedy - it evokes the era particularly well and it features some particularly inspired use of location shoots.
In summary, it is never going to become a classic, but it's better than its reputation might suggest - you'll either love it or hate it.

First, about the DVD - it's a low budget copy with no extras to note. This spoils somewhat the overall enjoyment of the film.
Second, about the film - it's a quick paced farce set on a train and in two fixed locations. Now if this sounds uninspiring it shouldn't be. It is really quite a funny film. Though slightly silly at times it keeps you following who is who as the plot untwines.
Finally, a note about the actors - Michael Caine and Roger Moore are great in their roles and supporting actors plays their part well too.
Though not a well known film and probably never a classic, it is a welcome breath of fresh air from serious films because it is first and foremost entertaining. I like it, but there again I like Marmite too - it's probably one of those kind of films. I suggest you buy it if you like the actors but avoid it if not.

Was just curious about this film because I'd never heard of it. 2 well known actors. Best not to expect much from the film and you wont be disappointed then!

Good old fashioned romp
Taking the point of the other reviewer about the poor quality of the picture at times means I had to dock a star. Read more
