Carry on Behind is unfortunately a big let down., November 3, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Carry on Behind [VHS] (VHS Tape)
Carry on Behind, next to Carry on Emanuelle, is the worst in the series. Kenneth Williams is the only one who remains to flow through the movie without causing the viewer to be sick. Windsor Davies tries to fill the shoes of Sidney James but definitely does not succeed. The storyline is average, with Kenneth Williams and Elke Sommer looking for an ancient site, while the rest of the gang are camping, arguing, and looking for lost animals. This movie is not worth watching! If you are out for a good Carry on, steer clear away from this one and look for one of the classics from the earlier years.

Vintage Carry On, August 26, 2003
This review is from: Carry on Behind [VHS] (VHS Tape)
There were only a handful of truly worthy Carry On films, in my opinion, and Carry On Behind is certainly one of them. Even though by this stage the series was missing regulars such as Sid James (I never quite took to him anyway) and Charles Hawtrey, and Dave Freeman had replaced Talbot Rothwell as scriptwriter, Carry On Behind is still one of the greats. The script has Kenneth Williams and guest star Elke Sommer as two archeologists heading up a student dig of Roman remains on a caravan site. There is plenty of toilet humour and double entendres in the usual vein, eliciting as many groans and cringes as laughs.

What a Carry On!, April 17, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Carry on Behind [VHS] (VHS Tape)
Even though the team were only three years away from their last Carry On expedition in laughter ("Carry On Emmannuelle" 1978), "Carry On Behind" is one of their best. Kenneth Williams plays Roland Crump, and archaeologist who, together with Miss Vooshka (Elke Sommer) travel with a group of students to a newly found under-ground Roman village, situated in the English countryside right next to a caravan holiday park. Guests at the park include Ian Lavender (of "Dads Army"), Bernard Bresslaw, Windsor Davies, Jack Douglas and Joan Sims. Workers at the caravan site include Peter Butterworth; the site's owner being the fabulous Kenneth Connor. All sorts of "goings on" happen while excavation begins on the Roman site. I won't spoil the story for you, but remember with the single exception of "Carry On Up the Khyber" (1968), this film is the team's best: it is the one with the most consistent laughs. Buy it!
