Revealing mistake: When the toggle on the gun is pulled back that supposedly injures Captain S. Melly's fingers, it doesn't actually make contact with them.
Carry On England (1976)
Directed by: Gerald Thomas
Starring: Kenneth Connor, Judy Geeson, Windsor Davies, Patrick Mower
Continuity mistake: When Sergeant Major sounds the wake up call in Connor's hut, the Sergeant Major's lanyard (the rope on his uniform) is on his right shoulder. But in the next scene when he is ranting at Patrick Mower and the lads, the lanyard is on his left shoulder.
Continuity mistake: When the Brigadier is having a meeting with the other officers at the start of the film, you can see he has one hand on the table, but when we see a close-up of the Brigadier, he now has two hands on the table.
Trivia: Kenneth Connor's line, "I've been regular for eighteen years", is an in-joke about his time in the "Carry On" films. He made his debut in 1958, and when the film was released in 1976, he was in the films for eighteen years.
Trivia: The film was a box-office failure and was withdrawn from some cinemas three days after opening. It only recovered the production cost after sales to television companies and international releases.
Trivia: The role of the Brigadier (portrayed by Peter Jones) was originally written for Kenneth Williams.
