National Lampoon's Vacation(1983) Movie Review 2/2
Part two of my review of the timeless comedy, National Lampoon's Vacation(1983) starring Chevy Chase, Beverly D'Angelo, Imogene Coca, Randy Quaid, Anthony Michael Hall, Dana Barron, John Candy, and Christie Brinkley.
Directed by Harold Ramis.
Trivia
Imogene Coca originally turned down the part of Aunt Edna because she did not think she could portray such a mean character. Even during filming, she was often concerned that she was being (too) mean to her fellow cast members.
In the DVD commentary, director Harold Ramis mentions that for the scene in which the Family Truckster jumps into the air, several of the crew members had made bets against 2nd unit director Dick Ziker that he couldn't jump the car more than 50 feet (even drawing lines in the sand to measure the distance). Ziker ended up winning that bet, as he jumped the car more than 50 feet.
In the DVD commentary, Chevy Chase mentions that the scene in which Rusty puts his feet up on top of the driver's seat was originally not in the script, but the producers liked it, so it was kept in the movie.
The opening scene at the Chicago car dealership was filmed at Star Ford in Glendale, California. The dealership is still there (as of early 2009) with the same buildings that were in the movie.
The Star Ford car dealership in Glendale, California, the location scene where Clark purchases the Wagon Queen Family Truckster, is located two blocks north of Chevy Chase Drive.
There were two scenes which were in the original script and filmed, but were cut from the final version of the film. One scene had the Kamp Komfort manager (Brian Doyle-Murray) dress up in a moose costume and sneak into Clark and Ellen's tent to scare them (which explains the "wildlife fun" the manager mentioned as they checked in). That scene was cut because it made the sequence run too long, so it was re-written to have Dinky sneak into the tent instead. The second scene originally written/filmed but cut was a scene featuring the two Indians (the same ones who see Clark wandering aimlessly through the desert and say "What an asshole.") as well as a camel rider, who find Ellen and the rest of the family and rescue them. That scene was cut because according to Director Harold Ramis, the camel had been raised in Burbank and was only used to walking on pavement, and the camel did not take to walking on hot sand very well, and all the shots of the camel were just unusable. Remnants of both cut scenes appear as photos during the ending credits photo montage.
For the scene where Clark ties Dinky's leash to the rear bumper and forgets all about it before driving off, Producer Matty Simmons said that after the movie's release, he received numerous letters from various people who had seen the movie and admitted that they all made the same grievous error with their pets as Clark did in the movie.
All of the cast members had terrible experiences when it came to filming the scenes inside Walley World where they rode all of the roller coasters and other rides. In the commentary, Chevy Chase mentions that many of the rides made him and the other cast members sick to their stomachs, especially since they all had to ride them several times each for each take. Dana Barron also mentions in the commentary that the coasters made her so sick that she had to take motion sickness pills and would pass out on nearby benches between takes. And finally Anthony Michael Hall mentions that for the coaster shots of him scared, that he was not acting at all and his fear in those shots was genuine.
On February 7th, 2010, Chevy Chase and Beverly D'Angelo reprised their characters from this movie in a Super Bowl ad for the vacation rental website HomeAway.com and even the Wagon Queen Family Truckster made a appearance in the ad as well. Following the Super Bowl, the website also featured a 2-part Vacation mini-movie called "Hotel Hell Vacation".
According to Rena Fruchter's 2007 biography "I'm Chevy Chase... and You're Not", both Harold Ramis and Chevy Chase did uncredited rewrites of John Hughes's screenplay, shifting the focus from the teenagers to the parents. For instance the Ferrari Girl was originally to be a 13 year old love interest for Rusty instead of Clark.
When Clark arrives at the gas station after walking through the desert, the sign on the door says: "Sorry, We're Open".

National Lampoon's Vacation(1983) Movie Review 1/2
Part one of my review of the timeless comedy, National Lampoon's Vacation(1983) starring Chevy Chase, Beverly D'Angelo, Imogene Coca, Randy Quaid, Anthony Michael Hall, Dana Barron, John Candy, and Christie Brinkley.
Directed by Harold Ramis.
Trivia
The theme park that served as Walley World was actually Six Flags Magic Mountain. The roller coaster referred by Clark as the "Whipper Snapper" is actually called "The Revolution" and was the first roller coaster to have a 360 degree vertical loop.
The Wagon Queen Family Truckster is actually a modified Ford LTD Country Squire station wagon.
Based on the article "Vacation 58" by John Hughes, which appeared in September 1979 issue of National Lampoon.
As the Griswalds are leaving Chicago, you can see the Buckingham fountain (a popular attraction in Chicago's Grant Park used in the intro to Married with Children) in the background at one point.
There was a Walley World Water Park in London, Ontario, Canada, which opened several years after the movie was released. John Candy was invited to the opening of the park but the park owners couldn't afford his appearance fee.
The "W" in Clark W. Griswold stands for Wilhelm.
Apparently, it was originally scripted that after Aunt Edna was tied to the roof of the car, there was a shot of her fingers moving implying she was, in fact, still alive. This was considered "cruel" to have a live person on the roof of a car by the ratings board, so it was cut and she remained dead.
The childhood pictures of Audrey on the living room wall were actual portfolio shots from the young commercial-acting days of Dana Barron.
Exterior filming of the Griswolds "on the road" took a greater part of three months, crossing numerous states including California, Arizona, Colorado, Misouri and Illinois.
The scene where the station wagon goes airborne in the Arizona desert actually caused some production changes due to the hard nose-landing that wasn't expected. Among those were matching the exact front-end damage on other station wagons used in other scenes.
In the Walley World scenes near the end, Anthony Michael Hall is taller than Beverly D'Angelo, than from previous scenes in the film where he matched her height. This occurred because Hall grew three inches after principal photography, and the ending was re-shot four months later, after the initial ending failed with test-audiences.
The original ending of the film consisted of the Griswold family, after seeing that Walley World is closed, going to the Hollywood house of Roy Wally (Eddie Bracken), the owner of Walley World, and holding him and his family hostage and making them sing and dance Walley World theme songs before the police arrive to arrest all of them. This did not go over well with test-audiences and the in-park scenes with John Candy was a last minute alternate filmed over two weeks, four months after production ended. The original ending was deleted and is believed to be lost. Eddie Bracken never-less appeared as Roy Walley in both endings.
Harold Ramis has an uncredited role as an off-camera voice of one of the police officers at Walley World.
Daisy Mabel (Cousin Eddie's tongueless daughter) was played by director Harold Ramis's own daughter, Violet Ramis.
All of the distant shots of Walley World, including the sign the family truckster drives under, were matte paintings.
The St. Louis inner city and the Dodge City main street were created and filmed on the Warner Brothers' studio back lot.
The character of Roy Walley was based on a combination of the brothers Roy Edward Disney and Walt Disney, right down to the thin mustache.
The poster art was by fantasy illustrator Boris Vallejo.
