Advantages: all the films Disadvantages: more expensive than buying sepeartely.
If you want to own the whole carry on collection then this is a great product as it has every film inside it, however as other reviewers have said it is possible to get all of the dvds cheaper if you buy them seperately. A little more work, but worth it as I've seen a lot of these films on sale elsewhere for about £5 a time, some even less.
The films themselves are classic British comedy with great innuendos everywhere, and many double entendres. ... ...or hate them, but for the carry on fans, me included, most of these films are hilarious and a great way of spending a rainy Sunday afternoon. There are of course the less great films (Carry on up the Khyber, Behind and Jack were my least favcourites) but there are many many more classic good films (camping, abroad, screaming, loving and Cabbie are porbably my favourites.) so if you wnat to make your own mind up about which of these films you like ...

Quick review of The Ultimate Carry On Collection (Box Set) (DVD)
Well, what can you say? The cult classic of the carry on films has become nostalgia. The box set is expensive as you can buy the individual DVDs for less.
Kenneth Williams, the master of double entendre. Sid James's dirty laugh and Charles hawtry camping it up. Superb! ...

Advantages: Good fun Disadvantages: When would you ever watch them all?
What can one say about the carry on films that hasn't already been said? They are classics in their own way, but that way is not to everyone's liking.
The films are crude and rude and totally unsubtle, but you find yourself laughing continually at the banal humour, despite your best intentions not to.
In terms of this actual product, thirty films? Forty-five hours of excruciating jokes and innuendoes? I think that's too much for anyone. I don't ... ...no shame. They might be the only one that would appreciate this gift.
I should say that I haven't watched this DVD and therefore do not know about whether there are any extras or anything like that. This was one of my first reviews and I was just shocked that anyone would want 45 hours of carry on films!
Sorry, not a very useful review! Please don't mark me down, I'm new!! ...
