History Film / CarryOnJack

** [[invoked]] There is a subversion of this: after escaping the mutiny, Albert, Walter, Fearless and Sally are stranded for days on a tiny raft, to the point that the men on the raft have light stubble. The moment they find land, however, [[SpecialEffectsFailure they're as clean-shaven as they were when they left]].

* CaptainSmoothAndSergeantRough: The blithering, yet harmless Captain Fearless' second-in-command is the fierce Lieutenant Howett.
* ChekhovsGun: In the TrainingMontage, Walter, and Albert are taught how to sew under the bellowing eye of Mr Angel. [[spoiler:This comes in handy when the gang have to amputate CPT Fearless' infected foot.]]

* ActualPacifist: Although being a powerful leader of a naval ship, Fearless doesn't want to cause any trouble with the enemy, and appears to be reluctant at times to be at war with parts of Europe.

* AdvertisedExtra: Despite playing an incredibly small part in the film, the back of the DVD in "The Complete ''Film/CarryOn'' Collection" boxset lists Creator/JimDale with the rest of the film's stars due to Dale later becoming a starring member of the main ''Carry On'' team.

This movie is set in the years post-Battle of Trafalgar, where Admiral UsefulNotes/HoratioNelson (Creator/JimmyThompson) was killed. On his deathbed, he demands to have a bigger navy with better naval ships, right before he says his famous last words of "kiss me" to Hardy (Anton Rodgers). With the Royal Navy being rather successful in many naval wars many years later, and managing to get into a war with the French and the Spaniards, keen mild-mannered sailor Albert Poop-Decker (Cribbins) is promoted in the navy to midshipman by the First Sealord (Parker), despite his lack of experience and his time training unsuccessfully for over 8½ years.

* ArtisticLicenseShips: Several sailors and pirates wear shoes on board, when in reality they should have been barefoot to make it easier to traverse wet decks and climb the rigging.

* BeleagueredAssistant: Mr Angel doesn't show any reaction or hesitation over agreeing to Howett's crazy ideas and just goes along with regardless.

** Howett, for definite. He only wants to get Fearless out of the way so that he could fight the Spanish Armada and hopefully win the war, and doesn't hesitate to try and make the Spanish government surrender at gunpoint.
** The crew on the ''Venus'', who become very excited when they find out that Howett is captain after the night before's fake mutiny.

* ChekhovsGun: In the TrainingMontage, Walter and Albert are taught how to sew under the bellowing eye of Mr Angel. [[spoiler:This comes in handy when the gang have to amputate CPT Fearless' infected foot.]]

* {{Fainting}}: Captain Fearless does this before battle.

''Carry On Jack'' is a 1963 film and the eighth in the ''Film/CarryOn'' series starring Creator/KennethWilliams, Creator/BernardCribbins, Juliet Mills, Creator/CharlesHawtrey, Creator/DonaldHouston, and GuestStar Cecil Parker - one of the most obscure casts in a ''Film/CarryOn'' as only Williams and Hawtrey were regulars, Cribbins only appeared in two more after this, and Mills, Houston and Parker were never used again.

* PaperThinDisguise: How the men don't see through Sally's disguise as Albert is baffling, considering how she doesn't attempt to put on a gruff voice and has obvious feminine features (CPT Fearless comments on the size of "his" chest a lot and is convinced that "he" didn't need to pad out the bust when "he" slips on a dress as another disguise in France). Notably, when she, Albert, Fearless and Walter are stranded in a rowing boat for a least a week, she stays with a smooth chin whereas everyone else has stubble going-on light beards. This possibly links to the fact that midshipmen in the British Navy were young teenage boys, so she could easily pass for a {{bishonen}}.

* AnachronismStew: There are several references to sovereigns - coins that wouldn't be issued until 1820.

* TheCameo
** A rather [[PermaStubble hairy]] Creator/JimDale as a people carrier that takes Albert to the sea town.
** Cecil Parker manages to get AndStarring credits, even though he only appears in the movie's BookEnds and has a few lines.

Assigned to board the ship Venus in the morning, Albert stays in a seaside inn where he is mugged for his clothes by the beautiful inn employee Sally (Mills), who intends to find her long-lost childhood crush Roger (Peter Gilmore) on one of the maiden voyages. Then the grumpy Lieutenant Jonathan Howett (Houston) and his gang of press-gangers shanghai Albert and clueless cesspit cleaner Walter Sweetley (Hawtrey) onto the ship ''Venus'', which is led by the blithering Captain Fearless (Williams).

* AscendedExtra: Kenneth Cope makes a background appearance in this film. He later appears in ''[[Film/CarryOnAtYourConvenience At Your Convenience]]'' and ''Film/CarryOnMatron'' as main characters.

* FamousLastWords: Admiral Nelson demanding a bigger navy with bigger ships and more men.

HilarityEnsues.

** When about to walk the plank, Walter asks for a demonstration... WithHilariousResults.

* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: Albert and Sally (in drag ''as'' Albert) kiss on the boat and then proudly announce that they are getting married. Walter doesn't react but Fearless is too arrogant to react with anything other than annoyance. He also says one of the most ironic sentences in the film series' history:
-->'''Fearless:''' I said I wanted a [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything happy]] ship, but this is ridiculous! [[note]]The irony in that the sentence probably had nothing to do with the implications of the word "happy", which had the synonym "gay", despite the current meaning of the latter word being known of back in the 1960s.[[/note]]
