Carry On Jack is a 1963 film and the eighth in the Carry On series starring Kenneth Williams, Bernard Cribbins, Juliet Mills, Charles Hawtrey, Donald Houston, and Guest Star Cecil Parker - one of the most obscure casts in a Carry On as only Williams and Hawtrey were regulars, Cribbins only appeared in two more after this, and Mills, Houston and Parker were never used again.This movie is set in the years post-Battle of Trafalgar, where Admiral Horatio Nelson (Jimmy Thompson) 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 Sea Lord (Parker), despite his lack of experience and his time training unsuccessfully for over 8½ years.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).With no proof of being assigned onto the ship, and the disguised Sally using her witty tactics to stay undercover, Albert and Walter experience the hardships of being a part of the British Royal Navy. Hilarity Ensues.

Dressing as the Enemy: Howett's failed ambush of the Spanish government lands him and the entire crew in the capital's prison. When the prison guards and the Spanish leader visit them, the British attack them and leave in their outfits. Strangely, they are seen working for the enemy a few days later, questioning whether they actually got away with what they did, or whether they were captured soon after.

Ironic Name: Captain Fearless is anything but. Not only does he suffer from chronic seasickness, but he makes any excuse he can think of to avoid actually going into combat, to the mounting frustration of his crew, who eventually mutiny against him. The trailer claims that he can "get seasick sitting on a damp sponge".

Genre Blindness: After telling Sally that he's a sailor, Albert isn't suspicious that she immediately invites him into one of the inn rooms, even though she looked like was inches away from throwing him out. Not once is Fearless suspicious that a lone boat is floating around the ocean with no sign of British sailors on board, and immediately thinks that it's the boat of an ally. The rest of the crew aren't convinced, but follow his orders anyway.

Special Guest: Cecil Parker, who appeared in many blockbuster movies at the time, was promoted to And Starring credits — above Kenneth Williams and Charles Hawtrey — and was paid over £20,000 note (roughly £257,000 in today's values) when all he did was appear in two scenes that book end the film and had less than ten lines.

Perma-Shave
 Carry On Jack / int_3e416b0f
comment
Perma-Shave: Many of the sailors, but to be fair, they're probably assigned with razors that they can choose to use. 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, they're as clean-shaven as they were when they left. At the same time as the point above, Howett and the crew are jailed for days in the Spanish government's top security prison with no implication of being released to use the toilet or eat. It's unlikely that they took toiletries when they left Venus.

Paper-Thin Disguise
 Carry On Jack / int_48b9731f
comment
Paper-Thin Disguise: 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 Pretty Boy.

LadyKiller: The leader of Spain with his implied mistress. Note how flustered he acts when Howett and Mr Angel storm in the room. It's probably not over the intrusion. Walter Sweetly states that he's got nine children when he ends up shanghaied, which might've been guilt-tripping Howett and the rest of the sailing staff, but either implied this trope or something else...

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, they're as clean-shaven as they were when they left.

Hates Baths
 Carry On Jack / int_9139687c
comment
Hates Baths: Bizarrely, the entire crew of the Venus — the bizarre thing being a Kenneth Williams character hating bathing, considering how his characters usually want to be proper and sophisticated. When Sally wants to wash, she is mocked mercilessly by everyone on the ship, who purposely make a bath out of a barrel and position it in full view of everyone on the main deck. Also, when noticing a group of Europeans stripping at a beach to skinny-dip, Fearless expresses his disgust over the idea of stripping off and bathing.

Took a Level in Badass: Albert and Walter, when Sally surrenders to Roger's threats. Walter catapults Albert away from the crowd without considering the consequences, and Albert gains the strength to climb up to the crow's nest and fight off most of Roger's crew.

Armed Farces: True to form for the Carry On films, the Royal Navy of Carry On Jack is filled with all sorts of bungling fools, cowards, and ne'er-do-wells — a captain who is perpetually seasick and thus shies away from any sort of fighting, a midshipman who has taken eight-or-so years just to get to the lowest rung on the officer ladder, and a press gang victim who couldn't handle himself in a rowboat on a pond, never mind a frigate in the Royal Navy.

Shoot Out the Lock: Albert does this to Fearless' bedroom door during Howett's fake mutiny when he fears for the captain's safety. This wakes Fearless (and Sally from her room down the corridor) up, makes him fall out of bed, and end up with a splinter in his toe.

Blood Knight: 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, become very excited when they find out that Howett is captain after the night before's fake mutiny.

Rape, Pillage, and Burn

comment
Rape, Pillage, and Burn Roger and his gang of pirates don't exactly do all of these things, but they invade the Venus, capture the sailors on it and sink their ship because they "don't need it now", and look really excited once Sally's discovered as an impostor; Roger immediately tries to force himself upon her when she reminds him of where they last met. CPT Fearless' sailors, in a way, unbeknownst to him. When they run him off the ship, they immediately head to Spain to scare the Spaniards into surrendering to the British. Notably, when Mr Angel is ordered to carry the Spanish governor's mistress out of the room by Howett, this exchange happens:

Hello, Sailor!: Subverted. All the sailors on the boats are portrayed as horny homesick virgins whose eyes light up whenever a woman comes into view. Funnily enough, Charles Hawtrey and Kenneth Williams are portrayed as asexual-like kinds. Although, it is sort of implied that there are probably gay soldiers that Fearless is aware about. When catching Albert and the disguised Sally kissing, and then hearing that they've agreed to get married, he doesn't react really outrageously and is more confused than appalled.
