Carry Ons appeal will have been that is was a bit lewd in an era where you couldn't just type "Asian grandma pegs pool-boy in a kennel" into a search bar and be away. 

People always say about old films "you couldn’t make that today", meaning that we're now all too prudish. With the Carry On films, the opposite is true: all the daft innuendo, which was their stock in trade, wouldn’t work now,  in an era in which people are comfortable talking about fucking and wanking and whatnot.

Angry is right about the BTTF sequels though, they are substantially inferior to the first film.

 

BTTF is better than any single Carry On movie, but people need to remember this is a franchise tournament.

The Back to the Future sequels are not as good as the first film but they’re enjoyable none the less, in my opinion.

 

I like some of the Carry On films but would choose to watch any of the BTTF films over them.

Back to the Future films were decent enough but I still laugh at a good few of the Carry on Films and they are more culturally important than those comments about Bond films being so. Carry On covered pretty much all the cultural vagaries of British society through the ages and took the piss out of it big time. Good old British innuendo over slick,yank action films every day.
