Sid is the ultimate bumbling white hunter, tripping over the jungle foliage, shooting various slaves instead of lions, sneaking off for a quick nip of whiskey at any time and incorporating coy sexual references to Jacki Piper and highly unsubtle sight gags with his rifle to a knowing Joan Sims.
Also along for this wonderfully hilarious journey is timid and lazy servant, Upsidasi, a fled-up Bernard Bresslaw.

Perhaps the best performance however is Bernard Bresslaw in a truly menacing desert Sheikh.

Joan Sims (who also said that this was her favourite Carry On) has an excellent role in this one, playing a brassy, Mae West type character who succumbs easily to Sid James cocky charm, whilst Charles hawtrey and Bernard Bresslaw also give essential and effective supporting roles.

 Krull Review (1983)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
The planet of Krull is under attack from a menace that descends from the skies: the huge fortress of The Beast and its armies of Slayers that mean to take over.
Alun Armstrong leads a band of escaped criminals who naturally have enough goodness in their hearts to help, and Bernard Bresslaw, of all people, plays a spear-hurling Cyclops who acts as a guardian to the group, but unfortunately speaks in his normal voice rather than his Carry On voice.
Although a quest traditionally features a collection of trials that our heroes must suffer on the journey to their destination, the incidents in Krull are tiresome and are more obstacles to your entertainment than anything dramatically satisfying.
