Factual error: The song that Bo and the others use to trick Abdul into thinking there are reinforcements is "Durch die Grune Heide", a marching song used during the Second World War. However, the film is set in 1906.

1 factual error
Directed by: Gerald Thomas
Starring: Kenneth Williams, Charles Hawtrey, Jim Dale, Phil Silvers
Continuity mistake: When Abdul puts a tablet in Lady Jane's drink, you can see that the tablet is dissolving, but when he picks up the glass in the next shot, the drink appears completely clear.
Simpson: You mean all these ladies are the Sheikh's wives?
Sgt. Nocker: Yes. What's so terrible about that?
Simpson: Think, all those mothers in law.
Trivia: Phil Silvers was dramatically losing his sight during filming, so he had to wear both contact lens and glasses.
