This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place

How sad is this?

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

Sid James plays Dick Turbin in his final appearance in the Carry On films. He plays a bandit whose robs people in England in the the year 1750. Kenneth Williams is in charge of catching him. Bernard Bresselaw plays Sir Roger Daley and he basically is Kenneth's boss and keeps the pressure on him to capture Sid. Sid James also plays Reverend Flasher. Kenneth talks with him about his plan to stake out The Old Cock Inn, where the crooks usually hang out. This movie has too many dirty references to a man's privates for my taste. I enjoy the earlier films more because they were more tame. I did not care for the portrayal of the Reverend. It's not funny to make dirty jokes in a church or anywhere else for that matter. Carry on Columbus had a real stupid scene with church members in black Klan outfits. I still enjoyed Sid James as a bandit and he was sorely missed after this.

Certainly it's vulgar,perhaps even crude,but it's a "Carry On" and vulgarity is what they do.Thirty years ago we laughed innocently at large - bosomed ladies of doubtful provenance,outrageous double entendres and sexually ambivalent blokes.Now we daren't.Only in the privacy of our own homes with a DVD virtually in a plain wrapper do we feel free to enjoy what is basically a continuation of the Music Hall tradition of unsophisticated working - class humour.Cerebral it isn't. If you're looking for cerebral jokes find yourself a funny brain surgeon. What you get with "Carry on Dick" is a brilliant late - flowering example of the canon.It is Low Humour,certainly,but it's very funny Low Humour.Mr K.Connor is outstanding as the constable,Mr S.James and Mr P. Butterworth Drag up,Mr K.Williams howls very satisfactorily and Miss B. Windsor allows us a rare glimpse of her nipples before dissolving into a fit of giggles. Before the Thought Police kick down my door because I prefer honest vulgarity to endless streams of f - dash from Russell Brand and Billy f - dashing Connolly I proclaim that "Carry on Dick" is a very funny film and it will make you laugh out loud.Don't let anybody tell you different.

I re-watched Carry On Dick on DVD today. I usually agree that this film is a bit of a hit and miss, but i think now that is it very good, up there with Carry On Henry for historicals, not Cleo though.Sid James is looking older, but he can still pull it off. Critics may say that James was too old to be lusting after someone of Barbara Windsor's age, but the situation the characters are put in, (two highway man/women), you can believe this girl would have a relationship with the elder man because of the work they do together. So i think they work well together in this film.This is the only film i can think of in the series that starts of pretty dull then gets funnier towards the middle and end. Very good ending with Hattie Jacques on the organ, pumping for all she's worth.Kenneth Williams and Jack Douglas have good chemistry, but it's really just the same characters Williams and Peter Butterworth played in Don't Lose Your Head. The premise of the film is very similar!As for the rest of the cast, Peter Butterworth shines in the drag sequence as he ogles over Joan Sims' bosoms. Ms Sims doesn't get much to do, but she's always funny and my favourite of the team. Kenneth Connor is excellent as the ageing Constable, such a great character actor. And Hattie Jacques excells as Miss Hoggett, the nosey housekeeper. Very good in the sequence where she is listening at the door.The Carry Ons never felt the same after Talbot Rothwell left. There was something no quite right about Behind, England, Emmannuelle or Columbus. I don't think anyone could recapture his style, he was born to write Carry On humour.The team was also breaking up at this point. Obviously the style was getting tired, and in reality, Peter Rogers and Gerald Thomas should have called it a day after this one. The one's that followed were good in places, but never hit the mark.

I have seen this film many times, I consider it to be the weakest of the better Carry on's, reasons being - Spoilers ahead, Sid James looks far to old for the role,Barbara Windsor showing her top half off again just is not funny any more and the film gets to smutty at times instead of the usual innuendo so evident in the earlier films (although it is not as bad as some of the last carry on's). In short okay but could have been much better 5 out of 10
