Don't watch the Vegas one it's not bad just not that good either

Ah q

I’d say Vegas vacation is better than European

I’ve come to like the European better in time . When my kids where small and we’d end up on a roundabout somewhere I’d say “ Look kids , Big Ben” . They would start looking around and couldn’t figure why I was laughing 😂…. Good times.

@@samuel4286 Yeah, aside from the silly green screen Clark swinging through the dam by the dam electrical wires... Other than that one dam scene, damn, Vegas Vacation is great. Miles above European Vacation, though still obviously lesser than the original and Christmas Vacation.

They even poked fun at that in Vegas Vacation when Clark says “you kids are growing up so fast I don’t even recognize you anymore” and there’s a long pause of Clark staring at Audrey and Rusty in confusion like he really doesn’t recognize them anymore because Rusty & Audrey have been played by more actors than James Bond & Batman lol

Yeah that was always one of my favorite things to and how they switch who is the oldest in Christmas vacation

Just like Chevy Chase

This movie is a masterpiece of the 80s.

The reviewers opinion is nuclear dog terds.

Ah, all you have to do is watch the movie. You'll see plenty.

I laughed..and then I cried... with laughter

ironically he would almost play the same role in Moving Violations...

"Do you know what the penalty is for animal cruelty is in this state?" "No sir, I don't!" "Well, it's probably pretty stiff."

The way Chevy squints and pretends to be upset is unreal😂

"You usin' the full fist doc?"

I wonder how Goldie Hawn had to deal with him since they were in two different movies together.

"Metallic Pea" was a beautiful color choice for that model.

He gave them the family truckster.

All the following ones are just CASH GRABS 😒

Glad you enjoyed it

I know!

Before even Ally McBeal; wow!

It's a great time capsule of how Vegas was when it was still a somewhat small city...

I should give it another shot. First time I honestly found it so dull I didn't make it to the end.

And the dream sequences on the airplane,in the second film,were probably the funniest part of the whole movie. And the reboot sucked? Idk if ppl know wtf is actually funny anymore. Chevy Chase going through stale contractually obligated films,like European, Vegas Vacation movies. Retreading the same stupid Clarke,minus the comedic intensity,or timing,or emotion for that matter of the 1st film,and the Christmas Vacation. They say that the reboot wasn't necessary,or needed. No it wasn't. But as a comedy,yes it was, because it was very funny! The Griswold's going to Europe wasn't needed either,and was even less funnier than the reboot. And there definitely was not any need for a Vegas movie,which was at this point stale,boring, actually hard to even sit through. The Christmas film was actually needed,it was different,they were home,and new elements were introduced,it was new to see them at home living their day to day lives with an overcrowded house of relatives,and some very funny Clarke family Christmas traditions..Even just getting the tree was hilarious. But the reboot had a plot,a story,and it was Rusty taking his family on one of those family vacations that his father would take them on as kids,and at every stop was a descent laugh,or joke,or scenario,or great cameo, I mean this may or may not have been a cash grab to reboot,but it was funny as hell,and easy to get through. It's even very rewatchable. Lastly,it puts European,and Vegas Vacation to shame. Unless you're a complete Chevy Chase mark ,and believe that without Chevy,(which he did cameo in), it's no good. Well I'll tell you,he was great in the 1st Vacation and Christmas Vacation,after that,and in between I should say,he really wasn't that great,or that funny. By Vegas Vacation, Clarke's humor was stale and fizzled miserably,playing second flute to Randy Quaid s Cousin Eddie,as he had become the funnier character in the series, replacing the top billed Chase,for the main source,if any I remember,laughs in the film. On screen we could all easily see how badly Chase didn't want to be in that film,and how glad he was to be playing Clarke for the last time. Regardless of the fact that this film series made his carrier as far as being very funny,ntm as even seen in his Fletch movies,Chase was playing the same character type. The sarcastic,and loveable baffoon, in some movies less,some movies more,bit all movies same. The same stale fucking idiot,with moments of happy accidents that he would stupidly overlook that would save the day. You could say Chevy Chase was more or less playing the same person in each movie,dialed either up or down,a very one dimensional character actor. I honestly believe he really can't act,or act beyond this character type. And I say this because this is what we have always seen him play or portray in his entire catalog of movies. A 40 or so year career making millions, becoming at this point an icon of comedy,playing the same character in every role. This is something that an actor really couldn't get away with today,and have a lifelong career in film doing. But I will get into that another time. Chevy Chase is not a good actor at all,anyone could've been Clarke Griswold,and if they were a real actor,you may have laughed more,or harder. Think about this,you could've been Clarke W Griswold. "Okay just act like a moron, completely oblivious to yourself,your family,or your surroundings,ready,3,2,1, action! How hard is that? Well how many movies has Chase starred in? That's how hard it is. Ntm,he also has the nerve to be "hard" to work with. Well when you really can't act Chevy! And the only roles you take,and are good at playing are complete idiots,doing and saying idiot things, than you are kind of stuck doing this your whole career! And the reason being you can't act! So how could he be hard to work with? He knows what his part is,the only thing I could think of is all the money's getting to the man's head, because getting by as a lifetime career making millions playing the same old bumbling dumbass in a different situation?! Wtf!? This man should be far from miserable,or hard to work with. He should be thankful, happy,and thanking god every single day!!! Why? Because Chevy Chase is a millionaire,who will go down as a comedy legend,and he simply can't act, he's not an actor. He,like anybody else,can follow verbal directions,not like you would need any of your portraying a dumbass father,or dumbass cop,or a dumbass golfer,or a dumbass on a farm,or an invisible dumbass! Bottom line, the keyword is dumbass! So what happened, someone tell him to do something in a film that was more dumber than what he's use to doing!? Or maybe one of the directors suggested that he have a serious moment,a moment involving real acting? Has anyone seen Chevy Chase in a drama,action ,scifi,or even a horror movie where acting is notoriously bad? Nope. He won't even take his chances trying to act in a horror movie that has horrible actors. Nope. Sad thing is,in Chevy's eyes, he's too good for that,too good for them, he's better than anyone,and if you don't think so,he will tell you! Trust me! The best actor,on this planet ever! That can only,and will only,and refuse any other acting roles,bit only the roles of a fucking idiotic baffoon. And yes he made a comfortable life out of this,but aside from even making good money on that Community TV show(which he did make great money), what and where the hell has Chevy Chase been,or been doing for the past 20 or so years? I think the last time he was in a feature film was in the early 90s,in a very terrible,again simply unwatchable, plotless,storyless,very stupid and dumb absolute dumpster shit fire movie called Nothing But Trouble,which bombed at the box office,and deservedly so. It sucked! Chevy was the lead but 5his movie also had John Candy,Dan Aykroid,and Demi Moore,ppl who can act,it even had Digital Underground,a musical group that was on fire at the time. And it was just a mess of a movie,just complete nonsense that didn't make sense. And with all that talent,well Chevy was the lead as well as Demi Moore,they were playing a couple,Demi was acting how a normal woman would in a completely nonsense,and weirdass situation,and Chevy was Chevy,he was Clarke Griswold,he was Fletch,he was the same fucking character as he always is,dialed a bit up,or a bit down. Where you expecting me to say Chevy was playing something or someone different. A total idiot,as usual,dialed a bit down for this role. The real problem with this movie was that Dan Aykroyd directed it, I think he may have wrote it as well,but he definitely had a lot to do with this film. I think,that in the wake of Ghostbusters,which Aykroyd wrote mostly,the studio was confident in him to deliver,I doubt they read the damn story or anything. I can't see if they read this pile of nonsense,that they would greenlight it,so Aykroyd had free range to make whatever the fuck that was. Point is,I haven't seen old Chevy in a starring role since that film,1991 I think. And he was only probably asked to star in the film because HELLO!!!! These guys have known each other forever, Aykroyd was on SNL back in the 70s starting up the original cast for the show. I also heard that Dan and Chevy had somewhat of a falling out before, during,or after filming this movie so idk wtf he even had Chase in the movie for,I know he's a big name,and the shittier a movie is,the bigger the names you want,to draw eyes to it,simple marketing trick. By that time Chase's roles where slowing down,his character was now stale,and instead of paying big money for a problematic and bad attituded Chevy Chase,you could save much more money making a film with a real actor without the big name to play the easiest role in a film,a complete moron,so we really haven't seen Chevy Chase in pretty much anything but maybe one movie,tops,and recently a TV show,which he was fired from,for his poor attitude. But,it doesn't matter, he's always going to be remembered,he will always be considered an icon of comedy and film,and has had a great career,a successful career,and has been a millionaire for some time.

@@Thathorrorguy12FU Jesus dude take a chill pill

They were funnier than the 2015 film

Guns can come in handy on road trips.. some asshole pounded on my hotel door one time in the middle of the night and if he hadn't stopped I was going to fire a shot at the bottom of the door..lol

So did I, along with Jane Krakowski AND Christie Brinkley.

Trickster? Who was that?

In my opinion christmas vacation is not as funny but has more heart. You see this with clark watching his old xmas films and being tearful about the memories even though his childhood christmas were far from perfect. Also, Eddies kids talking about how they always have a crappy xmas and clark trying to give them a better xmas because they are family. I watch christmas vacation every year with my kids, they and I love it.

@@superdude4402 I agree!

He was great in The Dead Zone.

He was great in Edward Scissorhands

It was a good movie in my opinion.
