    Filmed in 1968 and set in British India in 1895, Carry On Up the Khyber is one of the team's most memorable efforts. Sid James plays Sid James as ever, though nominally his role is that of Sir Sidney Ruff-Diamond, the unflappable British Governor who must deal with the snakelike, scheming Khasi of Khalabar, played by Kenneth Williams. A crisis occurs when the mystique of the "devils in skirts" of the 3rd Foot and Mouth regiment is exploded when one of their number, the sensitive-to-draughts Charles Hawtrey, is discovered by the natives to be wearing underpants. Revolt is in the offing, with Bernard Bresslaw once again playing a seething native warrior. Roy Castle neatly plays the sort of role normally assigned to Jim Dale, as the ineffectual young officer, Peter Butterworth is a splendid compromised evangelist, while Terry Scott puts his comedic all into the role of the gruff Sergeant. Most enduring, however, is the final dinner party sequence in which the British contingent, with the Burpas at the gates of the compound, and plaster falling all about them, demonstrate typical insouciance in the face of imminent peril. The "I'm Backing Britain" Union Jack hoist at the end, however, over-excitedly reveals the streak of reactionary patriotism that lurked beneath the bumbling double-entendres of most Carry On films. --David Stubbs

    Emilio Estevez and Samuel L. Jackson are Colt and Luger two dangerously over-the-edge detectives who uncover a despicable plot to simultaneously rot America's brains and teeth with drug-laced Wilderness Girl cookies. Aided by a likeable slimeball (Jon Lovitz) a leather-loving beauty (Kathy Ireland) they battle arch bad-dudes General Mortars (William Shatner) and Mr Jigsaw (Tim Curry) in a riotous crime-busting comedy romp featuring surprise cameos from more superstars than you can shake a .375 Magnum at. In the tradition of 'Hot Shots!' and 'Naked Gun' it's outlandishly off-beat and outrageously out-of-control as macho crime-action takes it in the shorts in... 'National Lampoon's Loaded Weapon 1'!
