Oh, my turn to add a post in here. Ummmm, well, I guess that all I got for the moment. But at least it's very important.
Me too, Me too!

Now, you’ve got me on that one, on two grounds: Cool Hand Luke was a long time ago; and I don’t recall a follow-up.
The movie has one of my all-time favourite movie lines:

Luke: Yeah, well... sometimes nothin' can be a real cool hand.


You're right on the second point -- there wasn't a follow-on movie.

of course not

cannot improve on perfection

[ and the main character died ]

there are some great quotes:


Captain: What we've got here is... failure to communicate. Some men you just can't reach. So you get what we had here last week, which is the way he wants it... well, he gets it. I don't like it any more than you men.

The Girl: [Washing her car with the radio on loud to get the Prisoners attention]
Dragline: Hey, Lord... whatever I done, don't strike me blind for another couple of minutes.

The Girl: [Washing herself down while cleaning her car with her radio on loud to get the Prisoners attention]
Koko: God she don't know what she's doing.
Luke: Oh boy, she knows exactly what she's doing. She's driving us crazy, and loving every minute of it!

Luke: Anybody here? Hey, Old Man. You home tonight? Can You spare a minute. It's about time we had a little talk. I know I'm a pretty evil fellow... killed people in the war and got drunk... and chewed up municipal property and the like. I know I got no call to ask for much... but even so, You've got to admit You ain't dealt me no cards in a long time. It's beginning to look like You got things fixed so I can't never win out. Inside, outside, all of them... rules and regulations and bosses. You made me like I am. Now just where am I supposed to fit in? Old Man, I gotta tell You. I started out pretty strong and fast. But it's beginning to get to me. When does it end? What do You got in mind for me? What do I do now? Right. All right. [Gets on knees, closes eyes and begins to pray] On my knees, asking. [pause] Yeah, that's what I thought. I guess I'm pretty tough to deal with, huh? A hard case. Yeah. I guess I gotta find my own way.
[Police cars arrive]

Dragline: Luke?

Luke: [Shakes head and smiles] Is that Your answer, Old Man? I guess You're a hard case, too.

Dragline: Luke? You all right? They got us, boy. They're out there, thicker than flies. Bosses, dogs, sheriffs, more guns than I've ever seen in my life. You ain't got a chance. They caught up with me right after we split up. And they was aimin' to kill ya. But I fixed it. I got 'em to promise if you give up peaceful, they won't whip ya this time...Luke, you gotta listen to me. All ya got to do is give up nice and quiet. Just play cool.

Luke: [standing before an open window] What we've got here is a failure to communicate.

[Luke is shot in the throat]

... OR (and most likely) a KP II with (I hope) GPS, better battery, 2 SD slots and a larger grip
Then it wouldn't be a KP!

I've read a lot of rumor and speculation threads, but I think this is the first that morphed into movie quotes.

Where's kenspo when you need him? He hasn't been active since July.

Maybe he is keeping quiet because he KNOWS TOO MUCH?
*cue dramatic music*
There was talk of him leaving Pentax...
