Fascinating documentary about all of the behind the scenes stuff that happened while filming National Lampoons Vacation.

This will bring back a lot of memories for you

Watch YouTube Video

Enjoy!

An hour and a half? frick.

I want to watch this, but am not sure when I can. I was hoping it was like a 10 minute video.

I never knew they had to remake the entire ending after test audiences hated the original ending. We were never supposed to see the actual park and John Candy character. Instead Clark drove to Roy Wally's mansion and kidnapped him and forced him to dance and personally entertain them.

John Hughes wrote the script as a vacation travelling south, which I assume would be Wally World in Florida. That could have been fun too.

There's some conflicting information about her age, but it seems she was somewhere around 14 during filming.



In OP's video she says she improvised the Kool-Aid stirring scene.

It is among one of the few perfectly watchable movies:

- Vacation
- Major League
- Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade
- Field of Dreams
- Goodfellas
- Heat

In the several months between the original filming and the re shoot of the end, AMH grew about 6 in. In the scene when they are cuffed and pleading their case with the police and Mr. Wally, he is more than head taller than Beverly DeAngelo. In the rest of the movie, she is taller than him

Jane Krakowski from her Ally McBeal and 30 Rock days is an all-time crush for me. Something about her.

You can skip the first 11 minutes. All the first 11 minutes as the first 11 minutes is all preview of what's to some. Minute 12 is when the first stories start.

He says he snuck onto the closed set to see DeAngelo do her nude scene.
