Cocktoastin/Cocktosto n/Cocktolstoy???????
Which one is right?
It sounds like he's saying John Cocktolstoy,but I'm not sure.
In the "quotes"-section it says Cocktoston and some say it's Cocktoastin.
Super-wonderful crazy-fun time

He actually says "John..John Cock-toast-toy". I watched my DVD with the captions turned on a couple years back.

Agreed, the first meeting with Gail he says Cock-Tol-Stoy.....later in the movie the Cocktoaston is the name he uses when he can't remember the previous name he used with Gail. So, i guess, to some extent, they're both right.
In the the two Fletch movies he uses a few authors names, right?
Victor Hugo
Cock-tolstoy.....isn't there a tolstoy author? Yeah yeah Leo Tolstoy.
2 cents....enjoy.
The name's....Dalton
The closed captions for this particular movie are often incorrect and do not match what was actually said, not only in in the case of the scenes where the name John Cocktos*** is mentioned, but all throughout the movie, sometimes substituting a completely different (but similar) sentence or phrase than what is actually said.
The closed captions might have been derived from the script or some other source, but they aren't a reliable source of exactly what was said in any particular scene of the movie when it was actually shot.
That said, it sounds like Fletch initially pronounces it as "Cocktosto". Then there is a scene after Fletch mumbles a completely different name to Gail, mumbling "It's John Lev... I don't remember", immediately followed by Gail saying it as "Cocktostin", a pronunciation which Fletch then later uses.
Given all that, the most that can be said for sure is that he was using the name John.
