Aunt Edna (Imogene Coca) suffered a stroke about midway during filming. She insisted on completeing the work and much to their credit, Director Ramis and the production crew agreed and shot alternate scenes while she recovered AND had to relearn all her lines INCLUDING the scene where she took a bite out of sandwich that the dog peed on, which she IMPROVISED! Yes, after a stroke! She was a real pro! May she Rest in Peace.

One of the reasons why test audiences hated the original ending was because audience and the Griswold's didn't get to see what Wally World looks like. In the original ending, Christie Brinkley's character was Roy Wally's daughter and because of her is why Clark doesn't go to jail in that ending. The last photo in the ending credits of the Griswold's wearing Wally World hats taking an airplane home is from the original ending.

The idea for National Lampoon's Vacation came to writer/director John Hughes during the Chicago Blizzard of 1979, when he began developing a short story titled "Vacation '58" for an issue of the National Lampoon magazine. Hughes eventually expanded the idea into a full screenplay, and also wrote another short story for National Lampoon called "Christmas '59" which Christmas Vacation was based on. Vacation was directed by Harold Ramis, and was Ramis' second directing job after Caddyshack. Hughes would make his directorial debut a year later with Sixteen Candles, but Vacation is technically Anthony Michael Hall's first appearance in a John Hughes project.

I have to tell this again because this movie popped up. My dad saw this when it came out...he loved this movie. Uncle Carl wore white shoes that looked like those Eddie gave Clark. Daddy was "bragging" on Carl's shoes at a family gathering. About a week later, a package came in the mail. Yep, a pair of cousin Eddie's shoes. The next weekend we went to Carl's house for a cookout. He asked daddy if he got the shoes. He told him he didn't even get to wear them and that my brother had worn them out in the horse barn while cleaning stalls. He RUINED them and how mad he was. A week later, a second pair of white shoes were on our front porch. Both pairs of shoes, new in the box, were in daddy's closet when he died in 2008.

Not just one of the greatest comedies of the 80s, but one of the greatest comedies ever made. Brilliant performances and one brilliant gag after another. My favorite will always be the legendary Imogene Coca as Aunt Edna pondering the dog piss sandwich for a second and then being like "Eh, f*ck it".

@toob1979 3 ай бұрын

Poor Imogene Coca. God bless that woman's soul. Everyone said she was the sweetest little old lady when the cameras weren't rolling. What no one was aware of while they filmed was Imogene dealt with a severe phobia of riding in cars due to a very bad accident she was in as a young woman. Road trip movies were nothing new in 1983, but _National Lampoon's Vacation_ was the first to actually take the cast and crew cross-country to shoot at the various locations. Matt's not the only one who admired Beverly D'Angelo's physique. Anthony Michael Hall (Rusty) tried to sneak onto the set whenever Beverly filmed a nude scene. He didn't succeed.

originally they wanted to film at disneyland but the disney said no. So they ended up created a disney like park. Roy Walley is basically Roy Disney. The road leading to Wally World is actually the road for Six Flags Magic Mountain. the pictures at the begining of the movie were all real tourist attraction that were taken from a tour guide book. Most the roadside attractions featured are no longer there. the off screen cop at the end "wer're all done here" is the voice of Harold Ramis based of a short story by John Hughes titled Vacation '58. Imogene Coco disliked working on the movie. theme song Holiday Road and Dancing Across The USA both written and performed by Lindsay Buckingham of Fleetword Mac This was Chrsitie Brinkley's first movie role. she was quite nervous and reluctant to show nudity. I believe they also banned the kids from the set on when they filmed the nude scenes. Anthony Michael Hall said later that he tried to sneak on the set during the filming of th nude scenes. several scenes with Hall were reshot and in soe of them he is noticeably taller as he experienced a growth spurt during reshoots. this also started a gag about the kids being different in subsquentially vacation movies, as neith Dana nor Anthony Micheal came back for European Vacation

Trivia, Chevy Chase, was classically trained when he was younger, being he's from a wealthy family. When he was in college, he formed the band called The Leather Canaries. Chevy Chase was a pretty good drummer at the time. Chevy chase stated that I was a bad jazz band. But was later kicked out of school when they found the he had a live cow living in his dorm. Chevy went on to become a famous committee character and star in SNL. His other two band mates wanted to continue with the band but decided to change the name. They both had read the book Naked Lunch by William S. Burroughs and were inspired by a steam driven dildo from the book and loved the name of it, that they decided to call the band Steely Dan. Chevy chase bandmates were Walter Becker and Donald Fagen of Steely Dan.

So a few things. Yes their kids are different actors in every movie. Anthony Michael Hall was supposed to do European Vacation but he had already committed to Weird Science. The scene of Clark taking the exit ramp is the opening shot used in Married with Children. Emma jean the actress who played Aunt Edna had a hard time filming in the car because according to Harold Ramis who did the voice of Marty Moose she was involved in a car accident when she was younger and became terrified of cars. Fortunately for everyone her as a professional actress was able to work around her fear and film the scenes. Look forward to European Vacation reaction

So the theme song "Holiday Road" was written and performed by Lindsey Buckingham of Fleetwood Mac as a solo project. Still not sure how that worked out but its pretty cool.

Beverly has such a great voice- check out 'Coalminer's Daughter' with Sissy Spacek as Loretta Lynn- Beverly plays Patsy Cline in it and she and Sissy do all their own singing.

1 night just before bed my mother did 1 final of the channels. This was around 91 in the UK so we only had 4 . The intro music was just starting . We decided to watch it and it became one of fondest memories.

"DON'T TOUCH!" made me laugh so hard when I first saw this. I don't know why, but lord it did.

When I hear Daisy say I don't want to hurt anyone, I get the same kind of feels when Jackie Chan says "I don't want trouble" then proceeds to wreck fools when they don't listen. And I'm getting the popcorn ready

My favorite part about watching your reaction is the bonus banter between you two

This is exactly why I'm subscribed to this channel. So many other KZfaqrs have reacted to this movie. But always cut out the f-bomb and I forgotten how much he or Chevy Chase actually uses the f bomb in this movie because I been seeing it lately on KZfaq or on TBS😂 But they always React to the movie as it is. Exact for nudity which is understandable.

I remember at 7 and 9 years old, in the late 90s, my sister and I would be shown the TV edit of this movie ON REPEAT! It was a household classic.

The blond girl in the red car is btw model Christie Brinkley, she also was the girl in allot of Billy Joel's music videos, as they were married.

Here's a lesser known bit of trivia: the police officer who threatens to use the butt of his revolver on Clark has worked in two movies with separate Bill Murray brothers- the other being the very funny Moving Violations

@jrod4344 3 ай бұрын

For some reason this reaction made me want to revisit, Modern Problems. Didn't think about Moving Violations, but now i want to watch that too. And then the Actors and type of movie that is, makes me want to watch Fast Times at Ridgemont High afterwards.

If I'm correct, the cop was once married to Jane Seymour.
