** Zig-zagged by Creator/PeterRogers, who pointed to the Winter of Discontent later in the decade, along with the heavy curtailing of union power during UsefulNotes/MargaretThatcher's premiership, that the film's message was right all along. However, he admitted that said message was delivered poorly, and that they had seriously miscalculated the film's tone.
** Creator/TalbotRothwell shared Rogers' sentiments, feeling that the screenplay was rushed - he was working on ''Film/CarryOnHenry'' and [[Film/UpPompeii the film adaptation]] of ''Series/UpPompeii'' at the same time - and not one of his better efforts, and that the political message was far too heavy-handed.
** Creator/RichardOCallaghan saw the film a few years after it was released and was embarrassed by it.
--->I saw the film about three or four years after we made it, and I personally was very embarrassed by what I was doing. It was all so right-wing and presenting the unionists as complete asses. I crept out of the cinema hoping nobody recognised me - fortunately, they didn't.

*** Creator/JimDale thought ''Columbus'' was one of the worst scripts he had ever read.
*** Creator/TonySlattery admitted that nobody enjoyed making it.
*** John Antrobus wrote additional material, but admitted it wasn't the best film.
*** Jack Douglas claimed he would rather forget the film.
*** When Creator/MaureenLipman appeared on ''Series/Room101'', she chose this film as one of her pet hates.
*** When Creator/JulianClary appeared on ''Des O'Connor Tonight'' in 1998, he acknowledged that the film doing the same style of humour as the earlier entries in 1992 was a bit odd.
*** Creator/JuneWhitfield called the film a bit strange, and later joked a more appropriate title would've been ''Carry Off Columbus''.
*** Creator/BernardCribbins called the film a disaster.
*** Creator/LesliePhillips didn't count this film as one of the ''Carry On'' films he had appeared in.

** ''Film/CarryOnEmmannuelle'':
*** Kenneth Williams was not impressed with the vulgar script and said so in his diaries:
---->Read the ''Carry On Emmannuelle'' script. It's all about a nymphomaniac who does it with all kinds of people in all kinds of situations & keeps taking the pill. The denouement is that her one genuine lover switches placebos for the pill & she conceives. You begin with her wanking a steward on the Concorde. I found it monotonous and unfunny. When you get to her having the PM, the Judge, the Commissioner of Police etc. etc. with no variations whatsoever, the credibility is gone and there's nothing funny to redeem it. It's so far away from the sort of story which a ''Carr yOn'' used to have. All this seems to do is attempt to shock, whereas that element (like in ''[[Film/CarryOnNurse Nurse]]'' etc.) was incidental to the story. Sadly, I'll have to turn it down: it's a sad business 'cos [[Creator/PeterRogersAndGeraldThomas Gerald & Peter]] have been good to me, but with a script like this, I've no option.
*** Joan Sims truly believed the series had run out of steam by this point and had decided that ''Emmannuelle'' would be her final ''Carry On''. In her autobiography, she writes:
---->The inventiveness and cleverness of the scripts which had made films like ''[[Film/CarryOnCleo Cleo]]'' or ''[[Film/CarryOnUpTheKhyber Up the Khyber]]'' such a joy to work on seemed to have been replaced with a more smutty line of dialogue, which was no doubt a sign of the times but was not at all to my liking.
*** Jack Douglas confirms on the ''Film/CarryOnGirls'' DVDCommentary that he thought this film went too far for a ''Carry On'' and wasn't believable.
*** Creator/LarryDann went to see the film in cinemas when it came out and thought it to be embarrassing and one-dimensional.
*** Zig-zagged with Creator/BerylReid; Reid complained later in her life about appearing in a "pornographic ''Carry On''", although judging from her comments on the film, she seemed to be mistaking it for ''Rosie Dixon - Night Nurse'', which she appeared in the same year.
*** Marianne Maskell was proud to have a role in the ''Carry On'' films but admits that ''Emmannuelle'' wasn't the best.
