GamerTab That was an excellent one.

SpuffyWeb Sadly Over-hyped

Leoni Haney Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.

Celia A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

Paul Evans Carry on Dick is a hugely amusing entry in the series, it boasts a classic cast, they were somehow missing something beyond this one, maybe Sid James. James is fabulous, so funny, it is essentially the same character he plays in Don't lose your head, and the two films perhaps blur, but this one still boasts big laughs. The team had certainly pushed the boundaries, this is more smutty then usual, jokes galore about diddlers and bid Dick. It's still mind by today's standards though. Laughs galore, Sid and Kenneth Williams are hilarious, the timing and delivery impeccable as always. Williams and Jack Douglas make a fine duo, it's the facial expressions from the former that get the laughs. Barbara Windsor is excellent in this film, but it's the interaction with Sid James that I find fascinating, you can see the real life closeness that existed between the pair very strongly.Whenever I watch this one I always think how underused Patsy Rowlands was, too often only having minor roles, but wonderfully talented. Hattie Jacques is underused here, the delivery is fine, but her part was poor.Great production values, fabulous costumes and a funny and in keeping score. Kenneth William's wig is a character in its own right.It's a must for Carry on fans.

Spikeopath The 26th film of the series, Carry on Dick marked the end of an era for a number of reasons. It would be the last appearance of Sid James, Hattie Jaques and Barbara Windsor, and the last to be scripted by Talbot Rothwell. As the title suggests, by this time the series had gone fully into innuendo mode, here they take the Dick Turpin legend and cloak it with sexual nudge nudges and wink winks. Character names are a riot, Reverend Flasher - Big Dick - Desmond Fancey (AKA: Dandy Desmond), Jock Strapp and Constable (ooh-err, it's all about the pronunciation - the rascals), thus it's all very low-brow for sure.It's great to have Sid James in a period set dual role again (as in Don't Lose Your Head), he's nicely restrained as Reverend Flasher and on the other side he's all throaty laughs and cheek as the randy dandy highwayman, Big Dick! Playing the usual sexy foil to James is Windsor in one of her more meaty roles in the series, though Peter Butterworth and Kenneth Connor are not given nearly enough material to make a telling mark. Great to see Kenny Williams given some pompous caricature to get his teeth into, even if - unlike James' characters, this double act with Jack Douglas does feel like a lazy retread from Carry on Don't Lose Your Head.Carry On Behind would follow this one, a decent enough film that with hindsight should have been the closure for the series. Carry on Dick tried to keep the rompy end up (ooh-err) for the series, a last hurrah grasping onto the historical/period pictures that proved so popular in the previous decade. It's not a fitting farewell for some major players, but some great gags and spirited performances ensure it doesn't disgrace itself in the eyes of the fans who liked a bit of sauce with their "Carry On" sandwich. 7/10

Tweekums As time progressed the Carry On films tended to get more and more puerile with vulgarity replacing wit; this one, as its title suggests, contains more than its fair share of 'dick jokes' thankfully another generalisation about the Carry on films is that the historical ones tended to be funnier than the contemporary outings. Set in the 1750s this one tells the story of Captain Desmond Fancey's attempts to apprehend the notorious highwayman Dick Turpin. Turpin's crimes all take place near the villages of Upper and Lower Dentures so he heads there with his sergeant. Not knowing what Turpin looks like they wish to remain incognito and inform nobody but the local rector or their true identity… of course the rector is none other then Dick Turpin! In the course of their investigations they learn that Turpin has an unusual birthmark but its location, which isn't hard to guess, means the sergeant ends up following anybody heading to the pub's gents for a quick examination! Turpin is keen to be rid of the two London policemen so manages to trick them into getting arrested for his crimes by the local constable… unfortunately he writes to London to inform them of 'Turpin's' arrest so the real Turpin must come up with another plan.I was quite surprised at some of the film's content as I didn't expect to hear so many dick jokes or to see Barbara Windsor in a see through top on Sunday afternoon television! While there were a few too many such jokes some earned a snigger and there were quite a few more wholesome laughs. It also helped that there was a decent story and the fact that nearly all the Carry On team were present and on top form. Sid James was great as Turpin/Reverend Flasher as was Kenneth Williams as Capt. Fancey. Other regulars present included the aforementioned Barbara Windsor, Hattie Jacques, Joan Sim and Kenneth Connor although the last of these had certainly slipped in the rankings; being reduced to the small role of the local constable rather than being one of the top names he was in the earlier films. The only character I wasn't amused by was Jack Douglas's Sgt. Jock Strapp although I'm not sure if that is down to the acting or just the character. If you are a fan of the Carry On series this is worth watching just don't expect the innocence of the earlier outings.

paul-johnson107 Well what a good Carry On Film for Sid James, Barbara Windsor and Hattie Jacques to retire from the series on.The Carry On team produced some great historical comedies but this was the one for me personally. Sid James was made for the part of Dick Turpin/Reverend Flasher. Usual cast together for one last time, Kenneth Williams and Kenneth Connor, Bernard Bresslaw. the whole gang.What a good idea to do a historical comedy set around Dick Turpin, one of England's most notorious highwaymen of the 16th century. The Carry on Gang have done the series proud. In his last carry on appearance Sid James still manages to steal the film as his character. LAST OF THE GREAT CARRY ONS! The series began to decline after this one, one reason NO SID James!
