After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.

Well, this is a Michael Caine and Roger Moore Comedy. Leonard Martin didn't like it but I did. I thought that it was quite witty, and though I probably wouldn't watch it again, I did quite enjoy it the first time round.Basically Caine and Moore both play two characters, a pair of crooks and a pair of crooked scientists. As Caine says at the beginning of the movie, everybody is said to have a double, and Caine's double just happens to be a nuclear scientist who is attempting to rip off the American and British governments by leaching research money off them and then selling their discovery to others. After a successful jewel heist, the CIA then approach Caine and Moore and blackmail them into posing as the scientists to get the plans.There is really little else to the movie other than the personality clashes and the comedy of errors. Caine's character seriously wants to get laid and finds out that the character that he is posing as is Jewish and shuns all of the luxuries that he desires, while Moore's character seems to get everything that he wants. Moore is far more charming than Caine, who in reality is a bad-luck magnet.The cameo by John Cleese at the end is also rather cool, and goes to show just how much bad luck these two criminals seem to attract to themselves.

This movie is supremely inventive in the humour stakes. Roger Moore and Michael Caine wearing kilts! Wearing kilts in the vicinity of log tossers. Naturally, they are going to receive a log up the kilt at some point.Sure enough, the moment arrives as someone lifts a log as they both straddle it. The log goes up the kilts. The audience roll about in floods of tears, each receiving their own personal log up the kilt agony.A few minutes pass and we are treated to another log up the kilt victim. The humour then progresses to another person receiving a log up the kilt.The final scene involves several people straddling a log only to have someone lift up the log, giving the victims a log up the kilt.

Yes its as funny as a burning burns unit but on the other hand it isn't 'Large'Bullseye is the kind of film that lovers of the truly terrible will relish.Its got bad everything, accents, acting, directing, script. Its like the Superman 4 of comedy.I remember it being released at the cinema, how did that happen? Its probably made by Cannon so they could at least get it into their own flea pits (god bless em)I'd love the DVD. If you like this film may I recommend Sextette.

No, this isn't the biopic of Jim Bowen & Tony Green but a good comedy with dual roles for Caine & Moore. Sometimes its good because its funny, sometimes its so bad its good. The pairing of the two British acting giants is worth 90 minutes of anyones time. This movie tries to hark back to the classic British comedies of old & succeeds in parts. If you take this film in the spirit it was made then you should be laughing & groaning in equal measures!
