Watch Carry On Dick For Free

Waste of time

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

The Carry Ons had been getting progressively ruder as the years passed, but this line of dialogue from Carry On Dick, the last film to feature the 'classic' cast, still had me doing a double take. I couldn't remember it being quite so near the knuckle. But as undeniably coarse and unsophisticated as much of the humour is, and despite an over-reliance on Sid James trademark guffaws and saucy giggles from Babs Windsor, the gang's version of the story of Dick Turpin still succeeds in being a lot of delightfully un-PC fun.If the idea of an ageing Sid James as dashing highwayman 'Big Dick' isn't silly enough for you, he's assisted by Peter Butterworth and Barbara Windsor, neither of whom would strike much terror into the the heart of even the most fearful of travellers. Tasked with catching the lovable masked rogues are Captain Desmond Fancey (Kenneth Williams) and Sergeant Jock Strapp, who have gained vital information about their quarry that might help them: Turpin has a distinguishing birthmark on his "insert suggestive sound effect here"...Broad comedy, characters with daft names, innuendo, Barbara Windsor's top flying open, Joan Sims doing her French accent—it's all there, making this Historical romp predictable fare but entertaining nonetheless.

I love the Carry On movies, and while I as I've said I do agree this is not one of their best, it is the last entertaining Carry On film. The story is thin and there are a lot of innuendos and some of them are very smutty. But with the costumes and sets and such as good as they are, the film looks really good, and the music is quirky and energetic. The script is funny and well delivered on the whole, while the film is well paced. Carry on Dick is probably chiefly memorable for being Sidney James's last Carry On. He is very good as Turpin/Reverend Flasher, if occasionally overdoing it with his trademark laugh. He is well supported by Kenneth Williams and Hattie Jaques, but Barbara Windsor gives one of her best performances and even Jack Douglas is good. In conclusion, entertaining I think, and on a side note it wasn't the same when Talbot Rothwell left and James died, the writing became crass and most of the entries then were woeful I felt. 7/10 for Carry on Dick.

Certainly it's vulgar,perhaps even crude,but it's a "Carry On" and vulgarity is what they do.Thirty years ago we laughed innocently at large - bosomed ladies of doubtful provenance,outrageous double entendres and sexually ambivalent blokes.Now we daren't.Only in the privacy of our own homes with a DVD virtually in a plain wrapper do we feel free to enjoy what is basically a continuation of the Music Hall tradition of unsophisticated working - class humour.Cerebral it isn't. If you're looking for cerebral jokes find yourself a funny brain surgeon. What you get with "Carry on Dick" is a brilliant late - flowering example of the canon.It is Low Humour,certainly,but it's very funny Low Humour.Mr K.Connor is outstanding as the constable,Mr S.James and Mr P. Butterworth Drag up,Mr K.Williams howls very satisfactorily and Miss B. Windsor allows us a rare glimpse of her nipples before dissolving into a fit of giggles. Before the Thought Police kick down my door because I prefer honest vulgarity to endless streams of f - dash from Russell Brand and Billy f - dashing Connolly I proclaim that "Carry on Dick" is a very funny film and it will make you laugh out loud.Don't let anybody tell you different.

Rather routine, non-stop inuendos but really quite innocent. Like many comedies a bit too carried away with the plot. I think the team were past their best. Barbara Windsor and Sid James strangely subdued. Kenneth Williams works hard but to no avail.
