Plustown 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.

Lollivan It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Keira Brennan The movie is made so realistic it has a lot of that WoW feeling at the right moments and never tooo over the top. the suspense is done so well and the emotion is felt. Very well put together with the music and all.

Phillipa Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

bkoganbing One must wonder what Winston Churchill thought of Carry On...Up The Khyber as he took the possession that Great Britain had over India as a rather serious affair. No doubt he read a whole lot of pulp fiction about the British army in India and did serve their for a spell as a young man.For those in the British public who were enamored of British Imperialism this might not be their kind of film. But those who like a few chuckles and an occasional belly laugh will appreciate the satire of those pulp fiction stories that Carry On...Up The Khyber spoofs.Sid James is the territorial governor of that northwest most part of India that contains the Khyber Pass which for about a century was most critical for the British in India to hold whether the natives objected or not. The 33rd Foot and Mouth Highland regiment guards the pass, known to one and all as the 'devils in skirts'.Through the misadventures of Private Charles Hawtrey it is revealed that this regiment is not so tough after all because they do wear an undergarment under those kilts That's enough for the local rajah Kenneth Williams to rouse the locals to take up arms against the British and once again they fight with their backs to the wall.As you can see this is loaded with innuendo and a few very specific jokes that Hollywood wasn't as eager to deal with as the Carry On troupe was. Another good one from the Carry On folks.

Jackson Booth-Millard Along with Carry On Again Doctor, Cleo and Screaming, this is probably one of, if not the very best of the saucy comedies. Set in the time of the British against the Khyber, the story sees the British being dragged down because their enemy think of them as wimps, or something like that, just because most of the officers wear pants under their kilts. Thinking them as weak "skirted-devils", The Khasi of Kalabar (a great Kenneth Williams) wants them dead, and Sir Sidney Ruff-Diamond (Sid James) leading the British is determined to show the enemy their balls (in both senses), especially in front of his kidnapped wife Lady Ruff-Diamond (Joan Sims), who seems to be enticed by the Khasi. Helping Sir Sidney are his small gang of "heroes" including Pte. James Widdle (Charles Hawtrey), the first soldier to be caught wearing pants, Capt. Keene (Roy Castle) and Sgt. Major Macnutt (Terry Scott), the opposite side are just as good, including the "attractive sidekick" to the Khasi, Bungdit Din (Bernard Bresslaw). Also starring Peter Butterworth as Brother Belcher, Angela Douglas as Princess Jelhi, Cardew Robinson as The Fakir, Julian Holloway as Major Shorthouse, Peter Gilmore as Private Ginger Hale, Leon Thau as Stinghi and Wanda Ventham as Khasi's First Wife, but where's Barbara Windsor when you want her? The most memorable scenes are those with the two meaning saucy jokes, the chemistry between characters, and of course the great dinner party scene where they seem not to notice the battle going on outside and causing damage inside. Carry On films were number 39 on The 100 Greatest Pop Culture Icons, and the film was number 39 on The 50 Greatest British Films. Very good!

manimal99 This film represents the Carry On film series at its peak - all of the actors are at the absolute top of their form. From the very beginning of the film with Joan Simms' immortal line at the polo match: "he did not 'alf crack that one did he not", through to the breathtaking Dinner scene at the end, this is film is a joy to watch. Its a shame that Roy Castle and Angela Douglas did not go on to make further Carry On films, they really put in excellent performances hereBut the real "scene stealer's" are Peter Butterworth and Bernard Bresslaw - both fine comic actors (and both died far too young) showing an extra dimension to their usual performances - Bernard Bresslaw is especially impressive as Bungdit Din.If you've never seen a Carry On film - then watch this one, and prepare to be hooked forever of these riotous, saucy, classic British films

robertasmith This film appeals on a lot of levels and is best enjoyed by people who enjoy British humour without political correctness. The best of the carry on films it has slapstick, one liners and some superb acting. Sid James is truly inspired as is Joan Sims.Peter Butterworth is all that a cynic might want of a preacher and Kenneth Williams and Bernie Bresslaw make the two most unlikely Asians in Cinema history.As a pastiche on the Korda films etc it is peerless, and who would guess it was shot in Wales!If you only watch one Carry On film, this is the one to watch.
