Memorable Quotes
[Riding on the back of a motorcycle.]
Dan Bartlett: We can pick up my stomach on the way back!

Dan Bartlett: Hey wait a minute. I'm entitled to one phone call.

Dan Bartlett: They're lovely kids. I've never seen a better argument for the pill.

This is a pretty ropey Bob Hope film!
Over the years, Bob had made some great films, but towards the end,
the formula was looking tired, and this was no exception.

In this one, Duke has a small cameo role.
I haven't seen the film in years, but recall,
seeing Bob Hope in a prison cell, looking dejected with his plight,
and saying words to the effect,
Where's John Wayne, when you need him?
to which Duke appears ,mystically in the cell with Bob, and says,
I'd like to help ya, but it just ain't my movie!
And that was it folks, short but sweet!

It would appear this one liner of Duke's was wa-a-a-a-ay better than his,
Truly, this man was the son of God.

This film is NOT readily available anywhere, not even on ebay. Anybody know where we can get a copy :unsure: ?

Oops! I take that back, after checking Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/search-handle-url/002-3581901-1689624?%5Fencoding=UTF8&dym=0&search-type=ss&index=vhs&field-keywords=cancel%20my%20reservation). After checking there, I see it is available on VHS - for a price. Used, two copies available right now, for either $12.75 or $20 (NOT including shipping).

I have 5 of those movies, but I have always wanted Cancel My Reservation. Besides these should be in much better shape then the old BCI eclipse versions I have

Thanks for the heads up.

Hi Everyone,

I just noticed a Bob Hope DVD box set was released, which includes the movie Cancel My Reservation, which The Duke makes an appearance in...

Cancel My Reservation On Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004IB04MQ/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=trackbiz-20&linkCode=as2&camp=217145&creative=399373&creativeASIN=B004IB04MQ)

I'm picking it up today. Another movie on official DVD :) The amount of movies not available for retail purchase on official DVD is slowly dwindling down.

Best of all, it's 6 movies on 3 DVD's for about 20 bucks...not a bad deal.

Enjoy,
Chris Elliott
