Did You Know?

Trivia:
The Rank Organisation, which had recently taken over as distributor of the Carry On films, was initially reluctant to use the title "Carry On Up The Khyber" because "Khyber Pass" is Cockney rhyming slang for arse/ass. Instead they wanted to change the title to "Carry On Up The Regiment".See more »
Goofs:
Audio/visual unsynchronized: After Captain Keene asks if he can "have a bash", a man in a turban approaches Sidney. Sid's lips are moving and say, "Do you wish," but there is no sound. Then in the next shot we hear him say, "Do you wish to see me?"See more »

4 out of 5 people found the following review useful.
British humour at its best, 4 November 2006
Author: robertasmith from london, england

This film appeals on a lot of levels and is best enjoyed by people who enjoy British humour without political correctness. The best of the carry on films it has slapstick, one liners and some superb acting. Sid James is truly inspired as is Joan Sims.

Peter Butterworth is all that a cynic might want of a preacher and Kenneth Williams and Bernie Bresslaw make the two most unlikely Asians in Cinema history.

As a pastiche on the Korda films etc it is peerless, and who would guess it was shot in Wales!

If you only watch one Carry On film, this is the one to watch.
