I have seen all of the Carry on Films and I remember only not enjoying a couple of them. That would be Columbus & Emmanuelle. I know a lot of people hated England as well. I liked that one. After Sid James left, there was something missing.
This movie probably should have not been made. These films worked in the 50's, 60's & part of the 70's. The film looks like a cheap production. It's like something you would see on TV. Jim Dale plays Christopher Columbus and he goes out exploring and there are people out to stop him. Before the voyage starts we have a couple of stupid and wrong scenes. We see a bunch of Christians dressed as Klansman in black Klan outfits discussing how to get rid of Jewish people. That scene is stupid, wrong and unfunny. There is also a scene where Columbus recruits prisoners for his voyage and there is gate keeper that is gay. What a wimp. Gay characters are not funny. He is a total sissy. There is one good scene early on as Sara Crowe who plays Fatima. She does a nice dance in a harem outfit for her boss, the Sultan. She is assigned to sabotage the mission of Columbus. She gets on board dressed as a man. She and other try and try to stop his voyage. Fatima falls for Chris and she tells him of the plan to mutiny.
They are ready to hang him when they spot land. They decide to move forward. They go a shore and meet some people that show them the cave that has treasure. Before they enter Fatima strips down to her harem outfit. Very nice! They find a small treasure and trick the King and Queen from keeping it. Chris ends up getting it on with Fatima in the final scene.
There is not a lot of good things to say about this film. There are also a few bare butts that were not needed. I think giving this film a 4/10 is a gift.
