Trivia

There is an in-joke to the Rank Organisation: when someone bangs a gong (the trademark symbol of Rank), the Khasi describes it as "rank stupidity".

The wording on the sign at the gateway of the Khyber Pass read "Please Shut The Gate".

Share this

The Rank Organisation, which had recently taken over as distributor of the Carry On films, was initially reluctant to use the title "Carry On Up The Khyber" because "Khyber Pass" is Cockney rhyming slang for arse/ass. Instead they wanted to change the title to "Carry On Up The Regiment".

Goofs

When the real chiefs arrive, Bungdit Din walks in the room to see the fake chiefs in the fountain with the girls. Brother Belcher ducks underneath the water, then it cuts to a side view and you can still see Brother Belcher above water, then it cuts back to the front and you see Brother Belcher surface.

Lady Ruff-Diamond is seen to become covered in plaster like everyone else during the dinner party. For the last two shots of her speaking at the table and in the subsequent scene outside the residence, however, she is the only one spotlessly clean once more.
