thread_title:  The cast of Carry on Cowboy  

message: Somebody added the following statement to the article (I removed it)---
"The IMDb movie database notes the marked similarity between this movie and the later Mel Brooks Western spoof Blazing Saddles (1974)."
Nope. The text of the review at IMDB reads, "the film’s style is pretty close to that of BLAZING SADDLES (1974) – but it actually anticipates Mel Brooks by almost a decade!"
IMDB is widely considered by Wikipedians to be an unreliable source, particularly when it comes to user reviews there. None of it is peer-reviewed. The "marked similarity" statement is a distortion, an untruth.
In Blazing Saddles a new sheriff is sent to the town to protect it from bad guys who are there to make the place unlivable so that the railroad can go through.
In Carry on Cowboy a new sheriff is sent to a town that has been taken over by lawless ruffians due to the influence of the Rumpo Kid, and that's the full extent of the plot. No railway is involved.
The amateur reviewer at IMDB wrote, ". . .the film’s style is pretty close to that of BLAZING SADDLES. . ."
Actually it is not close at all, not in style, not in direction of drama, style of comedy, visuals, nor set design. Perhaps he was thinking of similarities of plot. The similarities of plot between the two films can be easily attributed to the widespread Western genre convention of a lawless town being cleaned up by a new sheriff. Like, that's in dozens of Westerns. It's common.
The idea that Carry on Cowboy ". . .it actually anticipates Mel Brooks by almost a decade!" is disproved by the existence of dozens of Western comedy films made before Blazing Saddles. As you'd expect, WP has a comprehensive list of western comedy films---http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Western_(genre)_comedy_films
Oh look at that --- 128 western comedies, the bulk of them made before Carry on Cowboy and Blazing Saddles.

Talk:Carry On Cleo

message: I really think the new Factual Errors section is too much. This is a Carry On film after all, and clearly was never intended as a serious examination of history. Can I delete this section?! But the last word should go to the credits of the film itself, described by this section of the article:
The film's credits make ironic reference to the scant regard paid to historical accuracy. The titles advise that the story is "from an original idea by William Shakespeare", and that "Whilst the characters and events in this story are based on actual characters and events, certain liberties have been taken with Cleopatra".Ross, Robert.

Talk:Carry On Jack

message: He is listed on IMDB and at least two pages on this wiki as an Uncredited Sailor but can anyone prove he was really in this movie? Attempting to search for proof brough up a transcript of a fan's interview on their personal website: https://www.retroboy.co.uk/interview-with-Kenneth-Cope-2019 
The relevant text is "CP: Now, I need you to settle an argument; were you in ‘Carry On Jack’?
KC: No, I wasn’t in it.
CP: It is widely believed that you had a supporting role in it as one of the sailors?
KC: No, how dare you! (laughs). No, I never did any extra work or background roles like that. I wasn’t in 'Carry On Jack'."
I doubt that this website counts as a reliable source, but if the role can't be verified then at minimum the main Carry on Cast page and his personal page need changing. If anyone can prove he is in this movie then he should be added to the cast section on this page. Spamwebster (talk) 14:09, 29 September 2022 (UTC)

thread_title:  Grimshaw again? 

message: I've always assumed that the "Carry On" of the title was deliberately intended as a double meaning – the military one as described in this article, but also a reference to "carry-on" meaning a fuss or commotion, as in the expression, "That was a right carry-on!" The second meaning would obviously fit the subsequent films, which had no military context but plenty of fuss and commotion.
I'm reluctant to add this to the article, though, as it's just a supposition. Does anyone know whether it's correct? Paulwilliam2 (talk) 14:06, 12 August 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: Probably not. This film was not intended as the first in a series, but a standalone film - and it works very well if approached in that manner. There is very little slapstick farce - indeed, the scene involving the accidental discharge of a fire extinguisher sticks out as inconsistent with the rest of the film. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 09:41, 13 August 2020 (UTC)

Talk:Stable map

message: Perhaps I missed it, but it seems to me that the semi-positive condition has not been emphasized here.  The pseudocycle construction requires the compactified moduli space to have "boundary" of co-dimension 2.  In general, this is not true.  One must put conditions on the Chern numbers of spheres that can bubble off, hence the semi-positivity condition used in e.g. McDuff-Salamon.
SammyBoy 05:07, 10 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: You are right. The simplest fix is to assume semipositivity. Perhaps we should say "under suitable/reasonable assumptions" the boundary can be shown to have codimension at least 2. Taken literally, this is a vacuous statement, so perhaps we should at least define semipositivity and explain how it's used? I'm never sure how much precision is desirable in an encyclopedia article as difficult as this. Your improvements are welcome. Joshua Davis 19:30, 10 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Sorry I disappeared for so long.  How about under "some simplifying assumptions on the geometry of the symplectic manifold" ?  I think you are right that too much precision is undesirable.  On the other hand, the huge amount of work that has been done in trying to explain and formalize the virtual moduli cycle would seem like a waste of time without some precision.  (This basically is the construction of something like a fundamental class of the moduli space of pseudoholomorphic spheres, even though the boundary strata may be of too high a dimension.  I don't understand it, alas.)  SammyBoy 07:49, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

As for whether or not the film is a cult class, I go by the WP:Reliable sources with WP:Due weight; see what WP:Due weight states. If only a few sources call a film a cult classic, then we can validly give WP:In-text attribution to the matter. Also, do you mind stating what country and/or city you live in since you stated, "This movie has never been shown here or even requested."? The film used to get played over and over again in the U.S. (not everywhere in the U.S. perhaps), in the same vein as Teen Witch, which is why I think it gained cult-classic status. Also, looking at reviews for it on YouTube, it seems that people generally think fondly of this film; there is a nostalgia factor playing into some of that. Flyer22 (talk) 03:35, 5 June 2015 (UTC)
