* CaptainSmoothAndSergeantRough: The genial and charming Captain Keene is accompanied by the constantly-shouting and always irritated Sergeant Major [=MacNutt=].

* ChekhovsGun: [[spoiler:Sid sends for Keene to tell him about a new conduct from the Army Rulebook that he's going to highlight to the army so that no one wears underwear anymore. Seems rather legit, but is never touched on again ... then much later...]]
* ComicallyMissingThePoint: As usual, a stock response in ''Carry On'' films.

* IdleRich: How Sid and Shorthouse got their army titles is slightly baffling. Most of the time, Sid is sitting around in his plush office or having sex off-screen... [[BreadEggsBreadedEggs or having sex off-screen in his plush office;]] Shorthouse also mostly sits around in his office, playing Sid's secretary all day. Perhaps they're taking a break after successfully conquering most of the Empire. But still...
* [[TheCasanova [=LadyKiller=]]]:
** Brother Belcher, who uses this to his advantage.
** Sir Sid, although that is invoked, but it fits with Sid James' typical character persona.

* SpellMyNameWithAnS: There is some debate to how Creator/TerryScott's Sergeant Major character's surname is spelt. The opening credits use "M'''acn'''utt", the DVD subtitles use "M'''acN'''utt", and some books use "M'''cN'''utt".

* ThoseTwoGuys

* BriefAccentImitation: The Khasi mocks the British prisoners with a Cockney accent when he talks of their punishment.

--->'''Belcher''': ''[[[GoMadFromRevelation shrieking]]]'' Mad! That's the fakir's head! They've killed him!

** In-universe, when sneaking into the Khasi's palace, Keene, [=MacNutt=], Widdle and Belcher cover their faces with it in order to pass the guards.
* TheCaptain: CPT Keene, and adds to his mild badass in charge.
* CasualDangerDialog: {{Parodied}} where Governor Sir Ruff-Diamond, his wife and special guests are having a sit-down meal while the natives are massacring the guards outside. This is because he said earlier:

** During the climactic dinner scene, the palace is being shelled and fired on by the Khasi's men, while Sir Sidney, Lady Joan, Belcher, Keene, Shorthouse and Princess Jelhi are all eating soup to the accompaniment of a small chamber group.

''Carry On Up the Khyber'' is a 1968 film and the sixteenth in the British ''Film/CarryOn'' film series (often named as one of the best films out of the series) starring regulars Creator/SidJames, Creator/KennethWilliams, Creator/CharlesHawtrey, Roy Castle, Creator/JoanSims, Creator/BernardBresslaw, Creator/PeterButterworth, Creator/TerryScott, Creator/AngelaDouglas, and Cardew Robinson.

* JoinTheArmyTheySaid: Belcher can be heard mumbling " "Come help us" they said; "It'll be fun," they said!" as the team are locked up in the Khasi's prison.

* Pun: In a DeletedScene, the Fakir is bit by his snake, Mabel, and then laughs that that's "all the fangs I get".

** Sir Sid, although that is invioked, but it fits with Sid James' typical character persona.

* {{Brownface}}: There isn't a single Asian actor in the cast. However, when sneaking into the Khasi's palace, Keene, [=MacNutt=], Widdle and Belcher cover their faces with it in order to pass the guards.

* AnachronismStew: As is typical for the historical ''Carry On'' films, the script includes a few jokes that require the characters to know details of historical events still decades in the future for them. For example, when Sir Sidney is watching the polo match at the beginning of the film, he applauds the skill of Philip Mountbatten and notes that he should do all right for himself as long as he marries well. Sure enough, he did marry well, to his distant cousin Princess Elizabeth, later UsefulNotes/HMTheQueen. However, the future Duke of Edinburgh was not born until 1921, twenty years after the death of Queen Victoria, who is stated to still be alive when the film is set.

It is set in the glory days of the British Empire, in which the governors who have set up camp in [[UsefulNotes/TheRaj British India]] struggle to befriend the Kalabar citizens on the other side of the Khyber Pass. The head governor is Sir Sidney Ruff-Diamond (James), along with his men Captain Keene (Castle), Major Shorthouse (Julian Holloway) and Sergeant Major [=MacNutt=] (Scott), who are in an ongoing cold war between Rhandi Lal, the Khasi of Kalabar (Williams), who lives on the other side of the Khyber Pass: a long road around a mountainside guarded by the British army, the Third Foot & Mouth Regiment - nicknamed the "Devils in Skirts".

** [[invoked]] Possibly MAJ Shorthouse, considering that his actor Julian Holloway was commonly used as TheOtherDarrin for the attractive ''Carry On'' regular Creator/JimDale whenever he was unavailable.

The British governors hope to scare the opposition into surrender by making their army [[GoingCommando wear nothing]] under their [[ManInAKilt uniforms]], fainting in front of army general Bungdit Din (Bresslaw), Private James Widdle (Hawtrey) has his underwear stolen, which was keeping him warm from the cold mountain winds. This makes the governors inspect all of the army, finding the horrifying sight of them all wearing underpants. Despite hoping that the enemy will not see this, the [[AllWomenAreLustful sexually-frustrated Lady Joan Ruff-Diamond]] (Sims) takes a secret picture of the spectacle and takes it to the attractive Khasi, hoping to have sex with him in return.

With her disappeared, Sid is constantly sent women to ravish him as he waits for his wife to be released from her "capture". Captain Keene, Sergeant Major [=MacNutt=] and Private Widdle wear disguises as they try to rescue the stolen underwear from the Khasi's palace, with the reluctant help of Brother Belcher (Butterworth), a missionary who "rescues" women from falling out of religion by secretly making love to them and Captain Keene's love interest, Princess Jelhi (Douglas), the Khasi's daughter, as well as a travelling fakir (Robinson) as HilarityEnsues.
