| User ReviewGraeme JThis was a good one - loved the tunnel-digging bit, what a classic. |
| User ReviewDavid GPoor entry to the series that ultimately showed where the series was travelling. The film had to be edited heavily due to all the broad references contained. The original certificate would have rendered it an adult movie! Some scenes are prolonged, such as the tunnels and the 'get tough' speech in the canteen. Watchable, but really need to be discretional if young ones watching. |
| User ReviewThe Critic (Without most of the regular 'Carry On' cast, one would expect this offering to be a total turkey. Whilst this isn't the best in the series, it certainly isn't the worst, with a number of amusing moments and some pleasing performances. |
| User ReviewClaire TIt was an ok film but not the best carry on film, it doesn't star my two favourite carry on stars Kenneth Williams and Charles Hawtrey, it starred Patrick Mower (Emmerdale's Rodney), Joan Sims, Peter Jones and Kenneth Connor |
| User ReviewKarsh DPoor indeed, but not the worst - Ken Connor deserves a BAFTA for the effort he put in in trying to salvage something from this and it is the partnership with Ken and Windsor Davies - doing a sergeant major role - (what else) that makes this watchable. Joan Sims pays a high price for loyalty asher role just does not fit in at all - poor Joan. Very weak yes but just about watchable. |
| User ReviewKim AIf it wasn't for Windsor Davies and Kenneth Connor this would die on its arse! It's the weakest Carry on I have seen (though I haven't seen Emmanuele and Colombus yet! ). A sad entry in a usually great series of films. |
| User Review***CHARLIE***A not very funny movie set in an army base. |
| User ReviewMark GI haven't seen this one for many years and I must say I was rather surprised as I always thought of it as a really bad film. Having seen Carry On Emmannuelle a couple of times in the interim I'd say that this (while still one of the weakest Carry Ons) is vastly superior to that film - it just looks better and feels much more like a proper Carry On with everyone appearing enthusiastic. The script is lazy and crude but at least it approximates the Carry On spirit while Max Harris manages to emulate Eric Rogers' style of score. Kenneth Connor and Windsor Davies do their very best to milk the meagre material for all its worth and it really wasn't the completist's chore I assumed it would be. That said, still the third poorest in the series but the last two are so very much worse. |
| User ReviewJason JWith most of the best stars missing, it was obvious that this entry in the series wouldn't be any good. It's not terrible but that's only due to Windsor Davies and Kenneth Connor. |
| User ReviewJames MA couple of funny moments, but it's obvious by 1976 (with 27 of the films behind them and most of the cast either moved on or tragically departed) that the spark has gone and the remaining cast are treading over old jokes with none of the same irreverant energy or wit. Being a real fan of the Carry On series, I wanted to like it, but it was pretty dire from the outset I'm afraid to say. |
