    Storyline

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      The film was poorly received by the public and was pulled by some cinemas in England three days after opening. It only recovered the production cost after sales to television companies and international releases. It was the worst performing "Carry On" movie at the box office since Carry on at Your Convenience (1971).
    • Goofs
      When the female recruits parade topless, only half of them assemble. This was due to the refusal of the principal cast to take their tops off.
    • Quotes

      [scene that was censored by British Board of Film Classification for the use of the word Focke]

      Sgt. Maj. Tiger Bloomer: Aircraft recognition. These is your new pin-ups. I bet none of you can tell the difference between a couple of Heinkels and a pair of Bristols.

      Sgt. Len Able: No, but I can recognise a Focke when I see one.

    • Alternate versions
      Two versions of the plane recognition scene exist. On the 2001 VCI/Cinema Club DVD, Patrick Mower's ad lib "No, but I know a Fokker when I see one" is used. This was removed prior to the film's theatrical release in favour of a different take featuring the scripted response "well, Bristols usually come in pairs" in order to get to get a lower certificate. The Bristols version is the one used on BBC TV and the later 2003 Special Edition DVD release included both versions.

    why? why? why?
    this is absolutely awful. I heard that Carry on Emmanuelle was the worst of the series, but this really is. I bought this and started watching it four times then turned it off...only watched it fully the fifth time around, it's really that bad.

    Joan Sims looks bloated and old, Kenneth Connor's not the little bloke with humorous quirks that we know and love him for in the series...there's nothing in here that actually works. There's no gags that are humorous.

    There's a hugely embarrassing scene where there's a soldier blinking heavily....and Kenneth Connor asks him 'why he's blinking'. The gag commences for a minute 'why are you blinking?' 'no I'm blinking not' 'yes you blinking are'....That unfortunately is the level of humour used in this awful film.

    You can see them trying to go back to Carry on Sergeant...but that's like trying to find Debbie Harry attractive when she's an eighty year old pensioner based on 'how she used to be'.

    Kenneth Connor in his first lead role for the Carry on's deserved better than this. Patrick Mower is not carry on material.

    avoid.
