THE ROAD TO HONG KONG (1962) ¢ ¢ 1/2

Bing Crosby, Bob Hope, Joan Collins,
Robert Morley, Walter Gotell, Dorothy Lamour
Ski Nose and the Groaner travel to India, Tibet, Hong Kong and the moon in their last itinerant adventure, a comedy that's just as laid back and disposable as all the other "Road" movies. The boys are looking older, still playing vaudevillians in the space age, trading wisecracks and recycling material they'd been doing together for years. There's even an eating-machine gag that's a direct steal from Chaplin's "Modern Times". Joan Collins supplies most of the eye candy, but Dorothy Lamour appears briefly, too, and the cameos are fun.
