Rating: - One "Road" Too Many
Released in 1962, "The Road to Hong Kong" was the final cinematic journey for Bob Hope, Bing Crosby and (all too briefly) Dorothy Lamour. Cheaply filmed in England with Bob and Bing past their prime, this uneven escapade proved no match for the previous entries. Hilarity does occasionally ensue, but replacing Dorothy with Joan Collins was a big mistake. In a memorable four-minute cameo, Peter Sellers steals the show as an eccentric Indian doctor. Sammy Cahn and Jimmy Van Heusen contribute the film's best song, "Teamwork."

Rating: - Road to HongKong
Their last movie together and their gags and lines starting to where thin but still over all a reasonable film if you want the road series of crosby and hope.

Rating: - The last "Road to..." movie & worth the money
When I first came across this movie I was a bit skeptical- how would it stand up next to the earlier pictures? Boy am I glad I went ahead and added it to my collection. It's at least as funny, and may even be a bit better than the all the others!

Rating: - Great Laughs
What a pair Bing Crosby & Bob Hope will really make you laugh in this one. love the scene where bob is pushing or was it pulling Bing Crosby & Joan Collins great scene.
a great pass time for the entire family

Rating: - End of the Road to ...
Road to Hong Kong was the last Hope - Crosby Road film. Dorothy Lamour only makes an appearance in this film. Joan Collins is the love interest in the film - a beautiful spy for the top secret spy group The First Echelon.

Harry and Chester are a couple of con artists. When Chester loses his memory in an accident, they are sent to a Tibetan Lamasery. En route Chester is accidentally slipped a rocket fuel formula. While at the Lamasery, they find out about a rare herb that increases memory capacity. The boys know this will make a great mentalist act for vaudeville and still it. They steal a bottle and return home. As a test, Chester memorizes the formula. This sets the remainder of the film. The First Echelon wants their formula and will do anything to get it.

This being the final Road film, lots of guest stars including Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, David Niven and an early performance by Peter Sellers.

This is the most polished of the Road films. Written by Norman Panama and Melvin Frank, who have collaborated on a number of his films including their Oscar nominated Bob Hope film The Facts of Life and Frank's best solo film, A Touch of Class. Just sit back and enjoy.
