Fun Stuff

Trivia:
The owners of the British department store Marks and Spencer were alerted to a send-up of their store's name ("Marcus and Spencius") and associated use of the store's colours (green and gold) and called in their lawyers. Legal action was averted when it was explained that no slight against the store was intended, and the owners settled for an apology and a letter of explanation to be sent to a leading newspaper. This idea was later dropped, however, and the incident forgotten. more
Goofs:
Revealing mistakes: Near the beginning, Hengist and Horsa are watching a young cave couple dragging each other around. Hengist is pouring Horsa a drink and you can see him pour, raise the jug, then Horsa takes a sip from his cup. All this time it is obvious that no liquids are in the vessels. more
Quotes:
Hengist Pod: My name's Pod. Hengist Post, this is my wife Senna.
Horsa: Oh, that's a pretty...
Hengist Pod: Pretty what?
Horsa: Er... pretty name.
Senna Pod: It was, 'til I married somebody called "Pod".

Carry On Cleo, 28 March 2000
Author: Janos Smal (jsmal@osi.hu) from Budapest, Hungary

A pretty "unofficial" tale of the intrigues between Cleopatra, Julius Caesar and Marcus Antonius.

Hit-or-miss but frequently hilarious spoof of Joseph L. Mankiewicz' infamous super-epic "Cleopatra", that generates far more amusement than the original. The pace is hectic, the writing unusually clever and most of the actors caught somewhere near their best. Some dull spots, but the whole enterprise remains cheerful and sprightly.
