3.0 out of 5 stars Laurel & Hardy are the whole show in this hour of fun., April 7, 1999
By Scott MacGillivray (Massachusetts, USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
Most of Laurel & Hardy's later films had confining scripts that didn't give the team much room to do their stuff. "The Bullfighters" is a happy exception, with funny gags and familiar pantomime. Stan Laurel co-wrote and co-directed without screen credit, so fans are taking a second look (or even a first look) at this forgotten comedy. The boys' precision timing is as sharp as ever, and they're in practically every scene. The video transfer is excellent.

3.0 out of 5 stars Laurel and Hardy's Last Hollywood Film, June 30, 2000
By Scott Rivers (Los Angeles, CA USA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
"The Bullfighters" (1945) was Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy's best effort for 20th Century-Fox. It also marked the comedy team's premature farewell to Hollywood - not surprising, since the studio system offered Stan and Ollie little in the way of creative freedom. (By comparison, their final film, the 1951 French production "Atoll K," was a more adventurous enterprise.) Nevertheless, there are some inventive routines in this Mexican escapade, with a memorable closing shot that is a nostalgic throwback to the team's two-reelers at Hal Roach. Admittedly, "The Bullfighters" is not a classic, but it remains a vast improvement over the blandness of "Great Guns" and "Air Raid Wardens."

3.0 out of 5 stars L&H last American film is very funny, March 18, 1999
By A Customer
While the script is nothing to write home about, this is actually one of the best (if not THE best) of Laurel and Hardy's post-Hal Roach films. Stan and Babe contribute lots of funny bits of business, some new and some revived from earlier Laurel and Hardy films (a taxicab gag early in the movie derives from the closing gag of Stan's 1925 solo film A MANDARIN MIXUP!). Also, research has revealed that Stan directed parts of the movie without taking credit, as he essentially did on the Roach films. Richard Lane has the key supporting role in this movie and makes an excellent foil for Laurel and Hardy. There are also brief but nice moments from Carol Andrews, William Gargan and Hank Worden. In the final analysis, THE BULLFIGHTERS may not rank with the best of vintage Laurel and Hardy, but it's still more entertaining than a lot of what passes for comedy these days. Check it out, why doncha?
