History Film / DontLoseYourHead

** [[spoiler:Both Camembert and Bidet at the end when it is revealed Sir Rodney is the executioner who is about to finish them both off.]]

* PowderTrail: Used by Sir Rodney and his allies to set off a couple of powder kegs and blow a door down. Impressively, the trail leads down a flight of steps at one point, and this apparently offers no obstacle to the spark.

** Malabonce. Think about it.

* NiceJobFixingItVillain: Bidet in the final scene. [[spoiler: He ran at Sir Rodney with an axe at the end of the climax but hit the pillar next to him instead, allowing the heroes to escape to avoid the inevitable collapse.]]
* NotEvenBotheringWithTheAccent: Although more than two thirds of the cast are playing French characters, only Jacqueline (played by the late French actress Dany Robin) actually speaks with a French Accent.

** [[spoiler:Malabonce, seconds before he realizes Camembert is about to kill him with the guillotine as a result of The Black Fingernail's trick.]]

* TreeBuchet: Used by the heroes to get Sir Rodney into the chateau where Jacqueline is being held prisoner.

* Chekhov's Gun: The locket. Also most things in the Chateau Neuf, including the bust and much of the furniture, as well as being subverted with the pistols on the wall.

* Colour-CodedForYour Convenience: Sir Rodney is always wearing one item of white clothing and he has a white wig. Camembert's signagture outfit is nearly all black. No points for guessing who is the protagonist and who is the [[BigBad antagonist]]. [[spoiler:There are exceptions, as sometimes Sir Rodney wears black. After all, he is the Black Fingernail. When he first meets Jacqueline and in the climax he wears both white and black. Camembert does the same before he journeys to England with Bidet and Desiree]].

* ArtisticLicense-History: The aristocrats are all executed facing upwards towards the blade. In real life they were executed facing downstairs into the basket. The only person who ''was'' executed facing up was the real-life Robespierre.

* Charles Hawtrey as The Duke de Pommefrites

* Chekhov's Gun: The locket.

* TheDoorSlamsYou:

* CloudCuckooLander: Charles Hawtrey's specialty! The Duke de Pommefrites.
* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: Sir Rodney, Lord Darcy and Duke de Pommefrites. [[ObfuscatingStupidity With Rodney and Darcy it's just an act]]. [[CloudCuckooLander Not so, with Pommefrites]].

* MeaningfulName: Desiree. She desires to marry a "nice man with a fortune, and a Chateau, and a title." She is also the object of Pommfrit's desire and desires to be with Sir Rodney. [[spoiler:In the end, she does, but not to Sir Rodney.]] Also Camembert as [[DoubleMeaning "the big cheese"]], and Bidet, who is treated much like a real bidet would be on occasions. Finally Robespierre, the only genuine figure from the time.

* OhCrap: [[spoiler:Both Camembert and Bidet at the end when it is revealed Sir Rodney is the executioner who is about to finish them both off.]]

* AmusingInjuries: Camember gets these a few times.

* AmusingInjuries: Pommfrit banging Camembert's finger with a hammer at Ffing House. Sir Rodney finds it very funny, and Darcy can be seen trying to stifle his own laughter. Anyone seeing it for the first time will probably have the same reaction as Sir Rodney.

* Chekhov'sGun: The locket.
* Chekhov'sGunman: Four words. Le Duc de Pommfrit.

* TheDoorSlamsYou: Bidet attempts to lock the double doors to prevent Sir Rodney's escape, and is slammed behind one of them as Lord Darcy and the Duke come to Sir Rodney's aid. When he recovers, he tries again, and is slammed behind the other door as the Duke re-enters the fight.

* LoveAtFirstSight: Rodney and Jacqueline

* AmusingInjuries: Pommfrit banging Camembert's finger with a hammer. Sir Rodney finds it very funny, and Darcy can be seen trying to stifle his own laughter.

* GoryDiscretion Shot: Sort of. We only ever the blade of the gulliotine falling and BloodlessCarnage, but the second time it happens in the first scene, Camembert's expression says it all.

* AMusingInjuries: Pommfrit banging Camembert's finger with a hammer. Sid Rodney finds it very funny, and Darcy can be seen trying to stifle his own laughter.

* AMusingInjuries: Pommfrit banging Camembert's finger with a hammer. Sid Rodney finds it very funny, and Darcy can be seen [[Corpsing trying not to laugh]].

* BreakingTheFourthWall: Sir Rodney and Jacqueline talk to the audience, when they first meet. Repeated when Rodney's with Desiree in the Rose garden.
* BumblingSidekick: Bidet
* CartoonBomb: The smoke bomb used in one of the Black Fingernail's rescues.

* DoubleEntendre: Goes without saying. There's at least one in almost every scene. Then again, as is the case with GettingCrapPastTheRadar, it is a ''Carry On'' film so it wouldn;t be the same without it.

* HighHeelFaceTurn: Desiree

* LoveableRogue: as with pretty much any ''Film/CarryOn'' character played by Sid James.

* NiceJobBreakingIt,Hero: If Sir Rodney hadn't given the locket to Jacqueline, chances are Camembert and Bidet would not have found out who he was. [[spoiler: As well as that he was the Black Fingernail]].
* NiceJobFixingIt,Villain: Bidet in the final scene. [[spoiler: He ran at Sir Rodney with an axe but hit the pillar next to him instead, allowing the heroes to escape.]]

* WindowPain: Several of Camembert's valuable stained glass windows get broken during the climactic fight at his chateau.

* TenPacesAndTurn: The Duel between Camembert and Sir Rodney. They later make it Fifteen paces instead of ten.

The thirteenth film in the ''CarryOn'' series and one of the only two installments in the franchise to have not had the Phrase "Carry On" in its title during its original release.

* LoveableRogue: as with pretty much any ''CarryOn'' character played by Sid James.

* ChandelierSwing: Sir Rodney, Lord Darcy, and the Duke each do one during the climactic fight scene. The Duke misjudges his swing and goes flying out a window; [[spoiler: made even more ridiculous because the chandelier hardly swings when he does]].
