Revealing mistake: In the scene where the villains hijack the glam cab you can see people standing around watching the filming.
Carry On Cabby (1963)
1 revealing mistake
Directed by: Gerald Thomas
Starring: Sid James, Charles Hawtrey, Sidney James, Kenneth Connor, Hattie Jacques
Audio problem: When Sarge is giving instructions to Allbright over the taxi radio Allbright replies "I don't know what the union's going to say about all this" to which Sarge replies "**** the union". His mouth doesn't open while the noise sounds to cover up his swear word.
Trivia: In the scene where Charles Hawtry is training to drive the taxi, it has L plates on. These are real, as after he got the part Hawtry told the producers that he didn't have a driving licence. He had to apply for one and was given a few driving lessons in Pinewood Studios car park to learn the basics for this scene. This is why you don't see him do much taxi driving in the film.
