Tarzan is spoofed by the Carry on Gang, the only way Gerald Thomas knew how to, madcap humour.
Carry on up the Jungle is one of the gang's films I don't watch that often, but when it's on it's actually really funny, with lots of gags and great moments.
It boasts an absolutely brilliant cast, the usual regulars are all on top notch form, but the bulk of the laughs come from Charles Hawtrey and Frankie Howerd, the latter adding something extra funny. Professor Inigo Tinkle would make any expedition fun, that laugh was outrageous.
Some truly funny moments in the film, the discovery of Charles Hawtrey and his explanation about his disappearance is hilarious. The dinner scene where the snake is crawling up Lady Bagley's dress is a hilarious sequence.
If I'm to give a totally accurate and honest review I would have to say the film loses marks for both Terry Scott's an Bernard Bresslaw's characters, I find both irritating for the most part, but neither are so annoying that they detract from what is a funny entry into the wonderful Carry on Series.
