Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

CARRY ON UP THE JUNGLE had the misfortune to follow on from one of the widely acknowledged highlights of the Carry On franchise, the excellence that is CARRY ON CAMPING. That was a very funny comedy with non-stop jokes, whereas this film just isn't funny at all. The main problem with it is that it feels very dated indeed, even for its era.This was the dawn of the 1970s, yet CARRY ON UP THE JUNGLE is a film that contains white actors in blackface, black actors playing jungle porters, a guy in a gorilla suit who runs around like in an old Bela Lugosi movie from the 1940s, and most offensively, Terry Scott playing a version of Tarzan. Scott's constant mugging is one of the reasons I remember disliking the actor, which isn't really fair as he was decent in CAMPING.Elsewhere, the film misses the presence Kenneth Williams, with Frankie Howerd coming across way too over the top as his replacement. Howerd mugs for all his worth in a performance far removed from his one in CARRY ON DOCTOR. Sid James is better, but even he can do little to salvage the film from the plethora of repetitive and sexist jokes. It's doubly disappointing because one of my favourite Carry On stars, Kenneth Connor, returns after a six-year hiatus, but to be frank his role here is an embarrassment and a far cry from what you'd expect given his earlier turns in CARRY ON CONSTABLE and the like. Whatever way you look at it, CARRY ON UP THE JUNGLE is a right mess.

It's difficult to review a movie like this because it's formula is so close to that of the others in the series. On the other hand, that makes it extremely easy to comment on it: It's like all the others in the series. It should be thought of as a single television program with multiple episodes and the same characters carried over from one to the next.The humor makes Mel Brooks look elegant. The safari through the studio jungle comes across scattered piles of elephant dung. "You dropped one, Madam," says Sid James to the haughty matriarch, before he bends down and picks up her handkerchief.If you've seen any of the other episodes and enjoyed it, you'll enjoy this one too. I can't go on, not even merely commenting on it. It hurts too much.

Having recently seen several early black and white Carry On films I was rather disappointed with this later outing. The jokes were nearly all of a sexual nature; that wouldn't have been to bad if they had been funny; instead they were mostly fairly puerile. The story sees a group of English men and women; which includes Carry On regulars Sid James, Kenneth Connor and Joan Simms as well as Frankie Howard going to 'darkest Africa' accompanied by a blacked up Bernard Bresslaw as their native guide. Joan Simms is hoping to find some sign of her child who was lost in the area as a baby and it turns out he has grown up to become a loincloth wearing Terry Scott! He has never seen a woman before but quickly takes an interest in his mother's assistant June, played by Jacki Piper when he sees her having a swim. As the group travel through the jungle they have to contend with a tribe of cannibals and an all female tribe who intend to but the men to work… mating.The story wasn't too bad and there were a few reasonable jokes; sadly they were buried in a flood of schoolboy humour. The cast did a good enough job with their limited material but I was rather uncomfortable seeing Bernard Bresslaw blacked up to play an African; surely in 1970 there were black actors in the country who could have played the part. In 'Carry On Follow that Camel' the creators managed to make a few sand dunes look like a desert but here the jungle never looked like anything other than a set; something not helped by the inclusion of a gorilla that was so obviously a man in a suit that you could see the actors white skin around the eyes! While this wasn't terrible it is certainly below par and I wouldn't advise anybody to go out of their way to see it; if it is on television and there is nothing better on it passes the time well enough though.

Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrggggggggghhhhhh. Carry on up the jungle is another fantastic comedy movie in the carry on movie series. This movie was made in 1970. Terry Scott played the Jungle Boy and i think he played that part well. Sadly he died in 1994, as he was diagnosed with Cancer. He will be sadly missed but his movies he made and starred in will not be forgotten as they will be on tv whenever they come on. He had great peformances and great characters he had as part of a role for him. I give Carry on up the jungle 10 out of 10 because i think it is a fantastic movie. If you all like Jungel films, there is other jungle films such as Tarzan, Tarzan and Jane, george of the jungle, george of the jungle 2, Mighty Joe Young etc:
