Synopsis

Professors Vrooshka and Crump decide to visit an archaeological site to study the artifacts there. Lo and behold, it's right next to a caravan site where all manner of people are staying. With a randy Major owning the site, a snobbish mother, and the two professors' constant innuendos, the film ends with a sinking caravan site and a striptease performance as a replacement for the cabaret night.

BallWubba Wow! What a bizarre film! Unfortunately the few funny moments there were were quite overshadowed by it's completely weird and random vibe throughout.
Voxitype Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.
Siflutter It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.
Anoushka Slater While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
Paul Evans I don't understand why this has such a low rating, I know some consider it a poor remake of Camping, but far from it, I've always thought it to be one of the best. Such a shame they made, England, Emmanuelle and Columbus, had they ended here I think 'Behind' would have been held in much higher regard.Some truly funny gags, fun performances, and great double acts, Windsor Davies and Jack Douglas, Kenneth Williams and Elke Sommer, Peter Butterworth and Joan Sims. These were great comedy teams. Elke especially did a great job, her first Carry on and she was just splendid, likable, funny with a great delivery and a cheeky smile.Some truly funny moments, Petter Butterworth trying to coax Kenneth and Elke to hire his caravan, Elke's looking for scrubbers, the striptease, lots to chose from.Even the theme music makes me laugh, it's such a cheeky and funny tune, perfect for the film.
BA_Harrison Carry On Behind is dismissed by some fans of the series as an inferior imitation of Carry On Camping, a crass caper that desperately tries to keep up with the times by offering viewers an endless tirade of even more risqué innuendo, crude toilet humour and gratuitous female nudity (bums and boobs, but no bush). I don't understand the criticism: in my opinion, that sounds like the recipe for a whole lot of fun!Sid James and Babs Windsor might not be along for the ride this time around (they were busy working abroad), and Charles Hawtree is also notable by his absence, but even without these stalwarts of the series, I had a great time: Carry On regulars Kenneth Williams, Joan Sims, Bernard Bresslaw, Liz Fraser, Patsy Rowlands, Kenneth Connor, Peter Butterworth and Jack Douglas ably represent the old guard, while new faces include TV talent Windsor Davies (It Ain't Half Hot Mum) and Ian Lavender (Dad's Army), sexy German actress Elke Sommer, and dolly bird Adrienne Posta (Adventures of a Taxi Driver/Adventures of a Private Eye).Between them they deliver the goods: Williams falls in a cesspit, Sommer takes a shower and flashes her butt, desperate middle-aged married men Davies and Douglas lust after bikini babes Carol Hawkins and Sherrie Hewson (of Coronation Street fame), Bresslaw goes in search of a foul-beaked Mynah bird, Posta wears a preposterous blonde wig (surely that wasn't her real hair?), Butterworth gets romantic with Sims, and Connor accidentally books a stripper for his caravan camp cabaret act! It might no be all that sophisticated, but its good for some guffaws and a fair few 'phwoars'.
Karl Hughes I'm a dissenting voice in the crowd as I actually rather like this late entry in the Carry On series. In fact, I'd probably have it in my top 5 Carry Ons.There were so many reasons why this entry should have been below par. The previous film in the series, Dick, saw the last appearances of Sid James, Barbara Windsor and Hatties Jacques (we'd already just lost Charles Hawtrey) and importantly this film was the first in a very long time not to have been scripted by master of the double-entendre, Talbot Rothwell. There were only three Carry Ons after this one, and they were all seriously bad. On paper, this is the film where it should have gone wrong, but instead what we have is a likable film full of Carry On humour. It feels like a natural sequel to Carry On Camping. It's a roughly 50:50 cast split between Carry On regulars (Williams, Sims, Bresslaw and Connor) and newcomers (Davies, Posta, Lavendar), and there's a guest star thrown in, Elke Sommer. I've never been a great fan of guests in Carry Ons as they inevitably don't 'fit in' with the crew (like them or loathe them, Ted Ray, Harry H Corbett, Phil Silvers and Frankie Howerd all kind of stood-out as not quite being in the Carry On mould). Elke, playing a Russian archaeologist, adds greatly to this film, and she gets quite a lot of the funny lines, mostly from her misinterpretation of English words.Although I very much like this film it isn't without its faults. The plot is thinner than usual and the ending is poor (there isn't really a story to conclude at all). I'm not a prude, but there are blatant breasts on display; the Carry Ons always seemed better when they were more innocent. Technically the film is shoddy, with an awful lot of dialogue having been added after filming - at several points the cast speak without even having to move their lips! But there's plenty to enjoy here, cameos from Marianne Stone and David Lodge, a larger role than usual for Patsy Rowlands, music by Eric Rogers, and the English love of life in caravans and under canvas.Heartily recommended, the last great Carry On.
Tweekums Having had a hit with 'Carry on Camping', the team cover similar ground here; this time at a caravan park. Kenneth Williams plays Professor Ronald Crump, an archaeologist who is accompanied by Russian expert Professor Anna Vooshka, played by Elke Sommer, when Roman remains are found near the caravan park. Also present at the park are a couple of married men who have told their wives they are going fishing but spend the film trying to chat up the girls next door; a couple accompanied by the woman's mother and her myna bird and another couple with their huge dog. Over the course of the film we get the expected shenanigans; the myna bird keeps saying 'show us your knickers' whenever a girl is near and she naturally thinks it is one of the men, Crump constantly misunderstands Vooshka, thinking she is saying something rude; and the two 'fishermen' fail to get anywhere with the girls… over all a typical late entry to the Carry On series.This isn't the worst entry in the series but it is one of the weaker ones; where once we had gentle humour just about every joke was smutty; that isn't bad in itself but the jokes felt too predictable. The opening scene where Crump accidentally showed a film of a stripper rather than an archaeological dig let us know what to expect early on. The film certainly suffered from not having a full compliment of Carry On veterans; Williams was amusing as Crump and Kenneth Connor wasn't bad as the site owner but Joan Sims was reduced to playing the battleaxe of a mother in law. The story was okay and there were some (in)decent laughs, however the nature of the jokes meant the film probably isn't suitable for younger viewers while many of the jokes will seen puerile to older viewers.
