In joke: Peter Sellers sings a few bars of "Thanks for the memory", Bob Hope's theme song. See more »Goofs
As Chester Babcock is lifting off in his flying suit, the propeller behind him has stopped moving as the motor driving it has clearly stopped, yet the sound effect is of a small motor revving up. See more »Quotes

The Road to Hong Kong was the last and least of the Hope-Crosby Road pictures but that still made this a funny movie.Hope and Crosby are con men who get involved accidentally with international spies. Some of the humor could be considered "politically incorrect" in this era but the rest is typical Road picture. Joan Collins takes over the Dorothy Lamour role and doesn't quite have the talent for it especially when compared to Ms. Lamour who makes a cameo in the movie. Peter Sellers is not to be missed,however.His cameo as the Indian neurologist is one of the funniest scenes in any movie.
I can't strongly recommend this movie,but if you like the other Road pictures or are a Peter Sellers fan you will want to check this out.
