| 1 | * ChannelHop: Creator/{{Paramount}} made six of the total seven films yet they lost the rights to all the ones that they produced. The first four movies are now owned by Creator/{{Universal}} because they own Paramount's pre-1950 library, ''Road to Rio'' is owned by Creator/SonyPicturesTelevision and Creator/FremantleMedia while ''Bali'' fell into public domain, and the final one, ''The Road to Hong Kong'' was made by Creator/UnitedArtists and they still own it to this day albeit through their parent company Creator/MetroGoldwynMayer. |
| 2 | * DuelingStarsMovie: Creator/BobHope and Creator/BingCrosby made a long-running gag of this, both in and out of the movies they appeared in together. |
| 3 | * FakeNationality: Numerous examples, though one particular stand out is Creator/PeterSellers as an Indian in ''The Road to Hong Kong''. |
| 4 | * HarpoDoesSomethingFunny: A fair amount of the pictures consisted of this, despite the fact that a script theoretically existed. |
| 5 | * ProductionPosse: Jerry Colonna, who was a long-time castmember on Hope's radio and TV shows, appeared in three of the films. |
| 6 | * RealLifeRelative: Bob Crosby, Bing's brother, has a cameo in ''Road to Bali''. |
| 7 | * ThoseTwoActors: Hope and Crosby. |
| 8 | * ThrowItIn: The most memorable incident involves [[SuperSpit a camel]]. |
| 9 | * WagTheDirector: In ''The Road to Hong Kong'', it was Creator/BingCrosby who thought that Dorothy Lamour was too old to be a leading lady, resulting in the female lead being given to Creator/JoanCollins. Creator/BobHope, in turn, protested at this, and refused to do the film without Lamour. Lamour's extended cameo that featured her singing towards the end of the film was the result of this as a compromise. |
| 10 | * WhatCouldHaveBeen: |
| 11 | ** The first film, ''Road to Singapore'', was at one point planned as a vehicle for Creator/GeorgeBurns and Creator/GracieAllen. |
| 12 | ** An eighth film, ''Road to the Fountain of Youth'', was planned in the late 1970s but called off after Creator/BingCrosby's death. |
