Continuity mistake: When the farmer threatens Henry VIII with a fork after he catches him in the barn with his daughter, you can see that Henry is holding on the fork and it is well away from his body, but in the next shot the fork is pointing near Henry's face.
Carry on Henry (1971)
Directed by: Gerald Thomas
Starring: Kenneth Williams, Sid James, Charles Hawtrey, Sidney James, Joan Sims
Revealing mistake: When Henry VIII runs out of the cowshed from the irate farmer, you can see it is not Sid James but his stunt double.
Audio problem: When Henry VIII runs out of the cowshed from the irate farmer, he says "Give me my money back!" but his lips aren't moving.
Trivia: The coat worn by Sid James in this film is the same one worn by Richard Burton in "Anne of a Thousand Days".
Trivia: The character "Fawkes" is widely assumed to be Guy Fawkes, who was not born until 23 years after Henry VIII's death. However a deleted scene (described in "The Lost Carry Ons" by Morris Bright and Robert Ross) makes it clear the character was intended to be an ancestor of Guy Fawkes.
Trivia: Singer David Essex had half a day's work on this "Carry On" as a page boy, but his performance sadly ended up on the cutting room floor during the editing stage of the movie.
Cardinal Wolsey: A drink, Ma'am?
Queen Marie: Thank you.
Cardinal Wolsey: I can heartily recommend the porter here.
Queen Marie: Really? Then do send him up to my room later.
