Bula Quo! is a 2013 British adventure comedy film cowritten and directed by Stuart St Paul and starring Jon Lovitz, Craig Fairbrass, Laura Aikman and Status Quo musicians Francis Rossi and Rick Parfitt. The film was made as a tax deductible write-off^{[failed verification]} for the band Status Quo, and the budget of the film was part of what was owed to the UK taxman; at the time production started there was a scheme, set up by the previous Labour Government of Gordon Brown, to allow taxpayers to invest a certain amount of money in low-to-medium budget United Kingdom films as an incentive to expand it and keep people in the industry in work.^[1]

Although this film was made primarily in Fiji it was classed as a UK production because it utilized a primarily British cast and crew.^[2] Several other (technically) British films were made using this same tax incentives, including Hitchcock (2012) and Cleanskin (2012). Bula Quo! was a box-office disaster at the time of its release, and received mostly negative reviews from critics.

The film is set in the Pacific island country of Fiji and tells the story of rock band Status Quo becoming entangled in a local mafia operation.^[3]
