w22nuschler I first saw this movie a few years ago and became a fan of the whole series. Most of my favorites are here and they all have great parts in it. Sid James plays the leader of an expedition in the jungle. The beautiful Jacki Piper makes her debut in the Carry On's playing June. She resembles the Jane character from the Tarzan movies. Bernard Bresselaw has a funny part as Sid's right hand man on the journey. Also we have Terry Scott in his finest role of the series as Ugh, the jungle boy. He is the Tarzan character who is a bumbler. Joan Sims, Kenneth Conner and Frankie Howerd round out the main cast. This movie is just likable. There are plenty of funny moments as the cast makes their way thru the jungle. My favorite parts include Jacki Piper and Terry Scott. They make a wonderful couple. He is instantly attracted to her and she to him. The last 20 minutes brings us the best part of the film. All but Jacki and Ugh are saved from and taken by a tribe of women. They want the men to mate with their tribe. Jacki gets away with Ugh and they she teaches him to speak English. She is now wearing jungle bikini and she looks perfect. They have some funny scenes where he keeps miss-pronouncing words so he can make love to her. The men are upset that must make love to ugly women. Finally they are about to make love to hot women and they are rescued by Ugh and Jacki. Valerie Leon plays the leader of the women's tribe and she has a very nice body as well. Sid James is also great as always, but Jacki Piper is my favorite here. Her jungle bikini makes the movie for me.

crossbow0106 Kind of a take on Tarzan films, this film stars a truncated version of the Carry On group, but it has Sid James, Joan Sims, Charles Hawtrey, Kenneth Connor, Bernard Bresslaw, Frankie Howerd and Jacki Piper, so thats fine. Its basically the adventures of an African safari and the crazy things which happen, such as mingling with the animals, tribesmen and each other. The only person I would have liked to see is Kenneth Williams, as they could have written a part for someone scared of his own shadow and he would have been perfect for it. That said, the film is full of the usual innuendos that the Carry On films all have and this one is fun. Not the best in the series but still worth watching.

chuffnobbler The jokes keep coming, in true Carry On fashion, and most of them stand the test of time, even after all these years.Loads of great moments. Joan Sims's performance as Lady Bagley is particularly memorable in the sequence where she gets a snake up her dress. Plenty of Carry On knob-gags, a wonderful mating ritual (Tonka! Tonka! Stick it up your honka!), and lots of lovely ladies.Frankie Howerd is on fine form, camping it up like nobody's business. Sid guffaws his way through the proceedings and, more than halfway through, there's a whole new lease of life with the sudden and unexpected appearance of Charlie Hawtrey. Even Terry Scott's aggravating and not-particularly-funny Jungle Boy doesn't grate too much, as the whole film is full of such energy and fun that he barely even registers.One of the very best of the Carry Ons. Some people may not feel this is a glowing compliment!

Erich-13 The Carry On Gang get up to their usual monkey business, this time spoofing the Tarzan movies. This isn't their best effort...the script tries to fit in too many jungle cliches for its short running time, leading to a rather disjointed mishmosh of storylines. However, there are still many funny lines, and the Carry On regulars and semi-regulars (especially Frankie Howerd as the fussy professor) are in fine form. All in all, a very amusing way to spend 90 minutes.
