Follow That Camel is a Carry On movie that was released in 1967 as the fourteenth movie in the series. It starring Special Guest Phil Silvers, Kenneth Williams, Jim Dale, Charles Hawtrey, Joan Sims, Angela Douglas, Peter Butterworth, and Bernard Bresslaw.This was the second Carry On film that didn't have "Carry On" preceding the verb/phrase, but it's sometimes stuck on when listed as a feature in the TV Guide. It wasn't meant to be a member of the franchise to begin with anyway, despite the same crew and the Universal-Adaptor Cast, but was reluctantly stuck on there to boost the box office. (Interestingly, in some countries the movie was released as Carry On in the Legion).It is said to be a parody of the novel Beau Geste by Percival Christopher Wren, mostly of the 1939 movie adaptation, but it mocks other works around the plot of the French Foreign Legion, such as Under Two Flags.The movie stars a middle-class cricket fanatic named Bertram Oliphant "Bo" West (Dale), who runs away from England to join the French Foreign Legion with his loyal servant Simpson (Butterworth) after being accused of cheating in a friendly cricket match by rival suitor Captain Humphrey Bagshaw (Peter Gilmore) to Bo's love interest Lady Jane Ponsonby (Douglas).After finding out his innocence, Jane sets out to find him in North Africa, where with help from local café owner Zig-Zig (Sims), Bo and Simpson join the French Foreign Legion. The raging Commandant Maximilian Burger (Williams), and his second-in-command Captain Gerrard le Pice (Hawtrey) are on high alert following a threat from Sheikh Abdul Abulbul (Bresslaw), and so treat the two newcomers with great suspicion. They are introduced to Sergeant Ernie Nocker (Silvers) who takes an instant dislike to them until he realises that they know his tales of bravery against the Riffs were all lies, and he had been having it off with Zig-Zig the entire time.Bo and Simpson are soon treated like royalty by Sergeant Nocker, but when he takes the two out for the night, Abdul uses Corktip (Anita Harris), a sexy belly dancer, to capture Bo and Sergeant Nocker, while also meeting Jane upon her arrival and taking her to be his thirteenth wife.Simpson manages to locate Bo and Sergeant Nocker, allowing the latter to escape to tell Commandant Burger what has happened, but the Commandant (having heard from Zig-Zig of his lies) refuses to believe him until he hears that his former flame Jane is also in trouble and leads the Legion to rescue the three. When Bo and Simpson are found abandoned and nearly dead in the desert, it soon becomes a race against time for the Legion to retrieve Jane from Abdul's clutches and to prevent an attack on the garrison as Hilarity Ensues. | |

The Ingenue | |
| Follow That Camel / int_2cac89cf | comment |
The Ingenue: Lady Jane is very naive when she sets out after Bo, which several less scrupulous men use to their advantage; when she mentions she is travelling alone to a railway porter, a ship's steward, and finally Commandant Burger, each one smiles lasciviously before drawing the nearest window shade. In each case, the camera pans away as we hear Lady Jane's surprised (yet also interested) reaction to their advances. | |

Captain le Pice exclaims "Oui-oui!" note French for "yes yes!" in excitement when Commandant Burger creates a master plan. | |

Skewed Priorities Corktip spits on the sand in disgust at Sergeant Nocker and Bo after they've woken up from their shanghai, which makes Bo scald her for doing so, pointing out that "in England, you'd be fined five pounds." After sharing a passionate moment in his office with his childhood crush Lady Jane, Commandant Burger becomes frustrated and unsettled on the news of Jane being kidnapped by the sheikh, and immediately sends out the army when Sergeant Nocker admits that he spotted her during his Arab capture. | |

Funny Foreigner | |
| Follow That Camel / int_434d893c | comment |
Funny Foreigner: In a way, everyone in this movie. They're all a group of foreigners who meet up in North Africa to fight against each other, each having their own little quirks that makes them weird. Jane, Bo and Simpson mostly show the Stiff Upper Lip trope. Most cases, they don't seem fazed or terrified (Simpson sometimes does, though) whenever they're in danger or peril. Jane was definitely not fazed at the threatening behaviour of Abulbul and his talks of forced marriage, and Bo wasn't afraid to yell in Abulbul's face when Sergeant Nocker is threatened. Commandant Burger, in shame of cutting Jane's finger, is a no-nonsense commandant with a rather short temper. Abulbul, who sends the enemy underwear with messages on them to scare them into surrender and talks in Large Ham. Captain le Pice is a cloudcuckoolander, who's slightly wimpy. | |

Mistaken for Badass | |
| Follow That Camel / int_5e1ecc50 | comment |
Mistaken for Badass: Sergeant Nocker himself invokes this trope. He uses his power to set out into the desert to get into the pants of several native women, getting more medals in the process. Naturally, when trouble's on the way, he doesn't seem to be able to handle it (it's not shown on screen, however, but it's heavily implied). The biggest example is when he and Bo are kidnapped by Abulbul, who threatens them with execution, and Bo tells the sheikh off for being rude — all while Sergeant Nocker cringes in fear and hangs his head like a sorrowful child. | |

Captain le Pice is sent by Commandant Burger to get the reinforcements at the backup base while the rest of the army go back to the campsite which he does — saving the remainder of the team's asses by commanding the entire gang of reinforcements to save Commandant Burger and the rest. After that scene, the movie timeskips to Bo and Jane being married and Sergeant Nocker eventually being promoted, and Commandant Burger is implied to have died on the battlefield, but there is no talk of Captain le Pice and his bravery and how he came to their rescue. So, could he have died in battle too? | |

He pretends to take dangerous patrolling missions into the occupied Arab towns in order to have enough time to sleep with the vulnerable local women; he covers his tracks by creating paint-stained bandages to stick all over his body and acts disoriented when he staggers through the base gates and is then rewarded with a medal for his on-the-spot tale of fighting unarmed against enemy troops. After showing Bo and Simpson around the town with the other soldiers, a jealous Zig-Zig storms into Commandant Burger's office and tells him the truth; the return from being kidnapped by the sheikh's army and trying desperately to tell the commandant and the captain what's happened the night before lands Sergeant Nocker in the Legion's jail for "lying again", no questions asked. | |

Shout-Out to Shakespeare: After discovering that Abdul's army have moved on from their earlier spot, Commandant Burger grabs a nearby skull at the crime scene, thinking that it's Lady Jane, and moans "Alas, poor Jane - I knew her well." Sergeant Nocker then points out that the skull is masculine. | |

What Happened to the Mouse? | |
| Follow That Camel / int_863fa679 | comment |
What Happened to the Mouse?: Zig-Zig disappears from the film after spilling the beans about Sergeant Nocker's deception. Captain le Pice is sent by Commandant Burger to get the reinforcements at the backup base while the rest of the army go back to the campsite which he does — saving the remainder of the team's asses by commanding the entire gang of reinforcements to save Commandant Burger and the rest. After that scene, the movie timeskips to Bo and Jane being married and Sergeant Nocker eventually being promoted, and Commandant Burger is implied to have died on the battlefield, but there is no talk of Captain le Pice and his bravery and how he came to their rescue. So, could he have died in battle too? | |

| Follow That Camel / int_88a97dd4 | comment |
Jane, Bo and Simpson mostly show the Stiff Upper Lip trope. Most cases, they don't seem fazed or terrified (Simpson sometimes does, though) whenever they're in danger or peril. Jane was definitely not fazed at the threatening behaviour of Abulbul and his talks of forced marriage, and Bo wasn't afraid to yell in Abulbul's face when Sergeant Nocker is threatened. | |

Took a Level in Badass Bo's shyness around Corktip wanting him to visit her while she laid in bed, eventually giving in and going to see her, and then beating up her hired assassins. He reassures her that he knew what he was doing because he's learnt jujitsu. Captain le Pice being Commandant Burger's right-hand man, but obviously doubted as good enough to be a Captain, saves Commandant Burger's and the remainder of the team's asses with the reinforcements (and the injured party) he was ordered to go and find.

Rich Suitor, Poor Suitor | |

Rich Suitor, Poor Suitor: Implied with Jane's suitors Humphrey and Bo. This would make sense with Humphrey's actions to get Bo kicked out of the cricket club because he probably saw himself better than Bo because of his wealth (note that he is at the dinner table with Lady Jane in the next scene). Also, after Bo is kicked out of the cricket club, he immediately flees the UK to North Africa to join the Foreign Legion, implying that his entire life was probably focused on being in that cricket club and his romantic interest in Jane, and seems to act that he's ashamed to be seen again. Although Bo has a personal butler that's always by his side, but their relationship is portrayed as two close friends that have a one-sided catering service instead of a merchant barking orders at a working-class-born man that should be grateful to be serving him. | |

Love Triangle: Everyone seems to want a piece of Jane! Bo and Humphrey to Jane. It's obvious that Jane doesn't care for anyone but Bo, which is probably why the suitor made it seem like he was tripped by Bo during their runs during cricket. After joining the legion, Bo and Commandant Burger pine for Jane's affections. Even though Bo wins the contest, his newborn son is the spitting image of Commandant Burger (to be fair to Jane, she didn't really know what she was doing when Commandant Burger made love to her). Bo appears to be absolutely oblivious. | |

Captain le Pice's surname becomes "Spice". The various dubs change Corktip's name to "Vanilla", "Corkscrew", and "Mouthpiece" (can be used as cigarette-related slang). | |

As Long as It Sounds Foreign | |
| Follow That Camel / int_e3c20140 | comment |
As Long as It Sounds Foreign: To be honest, Abdul Abulbul sounds like the worst imitation of an Arab name in British film history. It is a Shout-Out to the 19th century music hall song 'Abdul the Bulbul Emir'. | |

Running Gag: The cockerel singing its morning tune and someone off-screen shooting at it. The climax has the entire Legion and Bedouin army firing at the creature, making you wonder how it's still alive. | |
