A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.
View MoreIt's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.
View MoreI think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
View MoreI didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.
View MoreSid James plays Dick Turbin in his final appearance in the Carry On films. He plays a bandit whose robs people in England in the the year 1750. Kenneth Williams is in charge of catching him. Bernard Bresselaw plays Sir Roger Daley and he basically is Kenneth's boss and keeps the pressure on him to capture Sid. Sid James also plays Reverend Flasher. Kenneth talks with him about his plan to stake out The Old Cock Inn, where the crooks usually hang out. This movie has too many dirty references to a man's privates for my taste. I enjoy the earlier films more because they were more tame. I did not care for the portrayal of the Reverend. It's not funny to make dirty jokes in a church or anywhere else for that matter. Carry on Columbus had a real stupid scene with church members in black Klan outfits. I still enjoyed Sid James as a bandit and he was sorely missed after this.
View MoreThis is another Carry On film, with most of the actors from the best films in the series, like Sid James, Kenneth Williams, Joan Sims, Barbara Windsor, Bernard Bresslaw etc. This story is about a group of masked highwaymen, with the leader being Richard Turpin (otherwise known as "Big Dick"-there are references to this throughout the film). The robberies have gotten to the point where Mr. Williams character goes undercover to find out who Dick really is. This film is good, not perfect, but with a great cast such as this, you can't miss. This was Sid James' last Carry On film and he is sorely missed, as he was a great comic talent. Of course, Joan Sims and Kenneth Williams also give their all, and they are always fun to watch also. Enjoy the foolishness, the sexual innuendos, the sharp one liners. If you like British comedy, you'll like this. Its not the best Carry On, but its fun, it makes you laugh, and thats as good of an endorsement as you'll ever need.
View MoreThis film is perhaps the last truly amusing one from the carry on stable. With Sid James in the title role as Dick Turpin the usual jokes are bound to surface "Have you seen dick" etc, etc.However this Carry on is the last one to use all your favourites ie; Williams, Jaques, James etc.A good movie for a sunday afternoon.
View MoreRather routine, non-stop inuendos but really quite innocent. Like many comedies a bit too carried away with the plot. I think the team were past their best. Barbara Windsor and Sid James strangely subdued. Kenneth Williams works hard but to no avail.
