Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??
... View Moreif their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.
... View MoreThe plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
... View MoreThere's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.
... View MoreOne of my favourite Carry on films. Yes, it is silly but then all the carry on franchise is silly. Kids love them but don't understand the double entendres, adults love them but don't appreciate the silliness. You kind of grow out of them. This one still has me roaring and using quotes out of it 30 years after I roared at it as a kid. Can't say the same for earlier ones. Windsor Davies and Kenneth Connor make a great team. I think it's a shame that it gets the poor reviews it gets just because the old team, Sid James, Charles Hawtry, Barbara Windsor, Bernard Bresslaw to name a few not in it but in the same respect, I only like James Bond starring Roger Moore because that was my era but my partner prefers Sean Connery because that was his era. Horses for courses I say.

View MoreAt a point when a lot of armies were becoming fully integrated with women taking more active combat roles Carry On England was woefully out of date as the Carry On troupe took on the RAF in its glory days as a subject for satire. This film must have drawn a lot of feminist ire and fire when it came out because it portrayed women both as sex objects and the men and women with nothing else on their minds even as Nazi Germany was perilously close to invading the United Kingdom.Kenneth Connor bellows his way through the role of a new commanding officer taking over a group of RAF ground personnel who staff an anti aircraft gun in a remote part of the country and they've never seen hide nor hair of any Luftwaffe types. In fact this unit is coed with the boys and girls just doing what boys and girls do. The women are headed by Judy Geeson and she's just as interested in kanoodling as the men. Connor tries every wile and stratagem with a most reluctant Sergeant Major Windsor Davies to instill some discipline in the ranks to no avail.A pity that Sid James, Charles Hawtrey, and Kenneth Williams were not available apparently, but I doubt any of them could have saved this one. The series was sputtering to a conclusion with gags that were either forced, unfunny or both.And Carry On England is quite a put down to women.
... View MoreThis film is the worst film in film history. I only give it a 1 because thats as low as we can go... About the only thing that redeems it is the Heinkel He 111 and the Supermarine Spitfire at the end. Looking at that footage I am reminded of the greatest war film of all time 'The Battle of Britain' Q. for you film buff's, are these clips left over's from the cutting room floor from 'The Battle of Britain'?I would agree with the other comments on this film, I first watched it as a teenager, it must have been on television not long after the film finished in the flicks and I don't remember laughing then.Its about as funny as tooth ache.
... View MoreYes it's a dreadful film, and certainly the worst Carry On BUT there's one good scene, sure to be enjoyed by most men. Four female service personnel parade outside topless one morning, stood in a row, backs straight, chests out...There are no other kind words for it. Jack Douglas, whose comedy act seemed to consist of being bitten on his backside by his own backside, adds nothing to the tale. Kenneth Conner makes the best of a bad script.It was never a fan of It Ain't Half Hot Mum or Windsor Davies but I suppose any casting director in the mid 1970s could have not found a better RSM.
