    Storyline

    Edit

    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

      Capt. S. Melly: Are you a ventriloquist?

      Bombardier Ready: Oh no. Church of England.

    • 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.

    Appalling.

    Rubbish. Along with Carry on Emmanuelle this is the worst of the series. I've got a lot of time for these films, but this was inexcusable. By this time (1976) the joke was no longer funny and the juice had run dry, as Sid James might have put it.

    Only two of the Carry On regulars are in this and even they look bored. The jokes are staid and formulaic, delivered with the speed and panache of a postman. The budget for the film appeared to be £2.50.

    Even Windsor Davies' Sergeant's bellowing couldn't save this.

    1.5/10
