why is it in those old films

Badly made furniture in them Westerns aswell.
Shattered to bits in a fight.

You neglected to mention that the Baddies wore black hats

If anyone says 'cab' one lands in front of them 1 second later

none of the baddies could hit a barn door but the good guys are all crack shots and never miss, despite looking in the wrong direction

if a hero gets shot it dont stop him ,he may grimmace or stagger a bit but he normally carries  on shooting like you would if you have a red  hot bullet ripping though your flesh !

through^^^

"A mere fleshwound",Foyles

if  there is a boxing scene the hero will always take a terrible hammering from the other guy get knocked down multiple times and be out on his feet but will always suddenly burst into life and beat the bad guy !

Nadim Sawalha.  I seem to remember him playing a togged-up Arab in quite a few 70’s/80’s films.  Gave us two gifted acting daughters too - Julia and Nadia.

in a high stakes game of poker with the table piled high with dough the bad guy will have a straight flush   but the good guy will have a royal flush .guaranteed !

What about the old Gangster Movies when the hysterical broad would get a good slap round the face and told to Snap Out It....It always worked.

Times have changed.

I record a lot of old stuff on Talking Pictures, just to watch and see if they are any good.  Bluddy awful in the main.

If your name was Will in those old films you had it. Everyone shot at you.

Cowboy films on every Sunday when I was a kid. Filthy blokes
in tin baths getting sponged down by a bird. No one ever
explained to us that they were hookers.

a punch up is a series of haymakers being landed flush on the jaw repeatedly and they just shake their head and carry on landing, smashing furniture over each others heads, all to no avail, and no blood

Tough geezers. And as soon as the director shouted 'cut' theyd retire to the trailers and start buggering each other

Yeee Haaaaa

Gidee up me cowboy

Hope they took them spurs off, brutal.

I always laugh that the lead actors (Men) are nearly always in their 50s or 60s - they were the 'heart-throbs' that the lady viewers had to swoon over

and they are all poofs

Not Rock Hudson,surely

yes stu the 39 steps was on yesterday the 50s one with kenneth moore ,him and a bird went to a house in the scottish highlands and a middle aged bloke was giving em a bit of a hard time , the old boys wife said hey leave the youngsters alone  ......kenneth more looked 55 at least .

just googled it he was 44 ^  youngster ?

He always looked older

Yeah.  Nowadays we just accept that it is o.k. for BBC announcers to call a drag artist “her” annd “she”.  Everything is so genuine today, isn’t it? 

Kenneth More in 1968 left his wife for the stunning Angela Douglas, an actress 26 years his junior , causing considerable estrangement from family and friends. He was married to Douglas, whom he nicknamed "Shrimp", from 17 March 1968 until his death in 1982.

I have never and will never watch a second of Raul Pauls drag race**** Island etc

Neither have or will I but it was mentioned on the One Show tonight which made me about throw up.  “She”, the Kemp kid called the creature!

Don't hide under a bushel Honcho, between Horatio and Delashay, you are not alone on here but tbf not noted you as an incel like them...................................YET!!??

Refusing to call a man 'she', makes someone an incel?

You have missed the point saddo, you would have to have paid attention over weeks at least to these guys posts!!

BTW I refer to the likes as "IT" and don't give a monkeys for sympathisers or excusers!!

the music on the carry on films are just fantastic....ive seen every carry on film about 50 times......

sid james seemed to be in every old brit film even before the carry ons !

At his absolute best in Hancock's Halfhour

Foyles you probably remember as well as most of us wondering why old blokes (Older than our dads" seemed to pull all the women? I remember buying a 3 piece suit aged 16 and a fu..ing cravat and going to St Andrews at the weekend to try and pull in a lounge bar.

My normal garb was two tone Levi's, a Crombie and double soled brown brogues for a night out.......FFS, looking like Simon Templar never worked!!

Abernoidea just redeemed himself

What was the name of the hospital in Carry on Doctor?

Feel free to cheat if you are like that

When i starting going into toon, early 80s, it was traditional for everyone, and i mean everyone, to wear a suit, i much prefer these days, where casual dress codes are in place...lol

A Tonic Mohair suit certainly made a statement back in the day.
Mind you,I am not quite sure what it was

Doctor Nookie....jim dale

obviously not the hospital...carry on abroad was fabulous.....drinking that wine, that made you able to see everyone in underwear...lol


the unfinished hotel, with taps with no water, doors without windows, sure the hotel was called "elsbells"..

it was

the hospital was Finisham General

Jim Dale was Dr Killmore

TBH I don't pull these days but still wear a Crombie and double sole Churches going racing!!

TBH

finally

anyone ever see a young sid james ?

Mitolo, were you ever young IYO?

Just imagining Mitolo looking like Jimmy Cagney sidling up to the bookies safe and altering the night before dog bets!!

carry on again dcotor, was Doctor Nookie...Just googled.

Sid James always looked 50 even when younger

i love  old science fiction films from the 40s, 50s and 60s, their are youtube channels which ive joined that push out these films almost daily..

sorry

that was from memory

maybe i was thinking of kenneth williams but its not that important

Carry on at your Convenience another cracker...Sid James had a budgie that would predict the winners of horse races


carry on loving another one.....Sid Bliss, ran a wedding agency..

carry on girls, one of the girls was Dawn Breaks....lol

tobes i didnt sidle, i crept and would have taken them for a chunk if i wasnt such a d1ckhead and buggered up the greatest free racket of all time

or would have if i was mitolo but im not so i didnt

Jim Dale became the most successful of all the Carry on actors.  After the films were long gone.  Carved out a life and a career for himself in the U.S.A.
I always got the impression that Kenneth Williams was anything but a fan of his.  Does anyone know?

carry on cleo was the best

some were rubbish, particularly the early ones

Little surprise you were thinking of Kenneth Williams Mitolo, probably Wilfred Pickles, Boy George et al as you got older?

What a sad bsstrd you are Cagliari.  Locked anybody up recently?

You seem to be angry when truth is aired Honcho? I do hope the big chip on your shoulder is not too hot and burned you?

No chip, no anger, no intel.  A certain amount of boredom when you post.  Have you?  Locked anybody up recently?  You were bragging about it recently.
Wasn’t Sutcliffe was it?  Ten victims too late.

It would be laughable were it not so sad Honcho, you confuse your muddled head with reality. Not once in 21 years have I mentioned locking up a particular individual, unless you can prove different of course?

Only commented as you lost the plot with elise who simply gave you a chance to rectify your comment about Meg Nicholls riding and you went berserk with the language etc?

Sid James, mentioned a lot earlier, had quite a life
I read a biography about him, and hope I remember correctly..
Was born in South  Africa, had a job in the Johannesburg stock exchange in the 1930s where he committed some sort of massive fraud...had to leave the country quickly and came to the UK...started his acting career late 1940s, had never acted before ...
Was in his 50s when started getting with Babs Windsor


Was an interesting read

Not so different today. James Bond falls out of aeroplanes into rivers , but he's ok. Heroes run away from blokes with machine guns , they miss. A fella in Emmerdale had an axe buried in his back but he was fine a week later walking about. Everyone who has a secret gets injured and goes into a coma so they can't tell.
My favourite ( was in Happy Valley and others ) is where a villain dowses his victim in petrol and threateningly waves a match close to them. In reality the fumes would ignite and blow them to eternity.
A small one that always gets me is , have directors never used binoculars.? When an actor looks through them we always get a view with two joined circles. In fact , you see just one big one.

In almost every movie and TV show- The empty coffee cups they pretend to drink out of does my head in,carrying 4 cups on a tray we can see they're feather weight but they all take a slug anyhow.

You been on the juice Cagliari?

punchestown should move to Hollywood and open a shop selling properly-weighted cups.

Glen, you are so embarrassing. Ex army you say......I doubt that very much....you'd be weeping with your hands over your ears ffs.

Throw us another yarn for fun.

LH...the bloke is clearly unwell and forgets all the lies he posts.

Army
Tuna
Molerat
Grandkids worth £64k
The Amalfi Coast
The yachts.
His bets/returns.
The operations.
The organs he has had removed.
Woe is me....
The list genuinely goes on.



He has been on this forum for years.......desperate to be liked.....types like a normal person in the morning attempting to be friendly and inquisitive then the booze and loneliness kicks in about 1830 and he types like he lives alone smashed on a bottle of some cheap filth.

Looks like you need some counselling along with Honcho, Horatio. Between you seeking attention when you think there will be no reply, you appear on multiple threads daily as well as starting them, maybe you have aspirations for when you grow up and this is just a phase?

How much Tuna can you fit on your Yacht ,, Bilko  ? 

More than you can afford string!! HTH

Charlie Sheen did kill someone on set....obviously an accident, but...

spys .......always had long raincoats and those wide brimmed hats ,  while on surveilence in a cafe or pub were always  supposedly reading a newspaper often with a hole cut out of it .ffs they were supposed to incognito ....you could spot em a mile off.

What about in Westerns where the horses appeared to be a combination of Dayjur and Red Rum, they could sprint at full pelt for miles at a time.

The ones the Apache's were riding were always aeroplanes

Always some poor fella spun around & chinned by about 4 others
before hitting the deck.

if someone needs a taxi one appears within seconds !

Whenever someone talks about a scenario where they think that something is nailed on to happen, they always say 10/1 that will happen when they should be saying odds on it will happen

Talking about Sid James, I see his son (born 1954 and lives in Sydney) has done well and outlived his dad who died at nearly 63.
