Fun facts about stone henge. A while back they built a replica only a few thousand feet away, out of lighter materials just across the road. Someone pulled a prank and stole a stone from there and later put it at the real Stonehenge. When they did rounds to count the stones one day (yes they count the stones) they found the extra, freaked out and called the government. They set up quarantines and brought in investigators until they discovered the hoax.

No I think the spelling Error with the Family Name is intentional. In the Movie Clark says he has relatives in germany and wants to visit them only to end up in the wrong house. I guess tehy wanted to make the name fit because Griswald with an A has german roots, it could be an americanisation of Grieswald and I actually knew someone with the Grieswald Family name. And as for the Guy they actually visited, that is a famous german actor, Willy Millowitsch.

Chevy Chase and Beverly d'Angelo did a commercial a few years ago, I can't remember what the product was for, where they reprised the Griswolds.

Chevy has a seriously bad reputation in Hollywood. From this movie to the TV show Community and everything in between. Never heard anything good about this guy.

[@monicapyle]

Same. It's never good things you hear

[@dvt1393]

Yup. He's been in some classic movies and had very funny performances, but from everything that I've heard about him, he's a stuck-up, narcissistic, Prima Donna that nobody gets along with and hates working with. I loved his character on Community (one of those characters that you just love to hate) but he is also the reason that the show went off the rails after its third season. His stupid feud with Dan Harmon, who is by no means innocent, all caused by ego. No wonder he stopped finding any work besides the occasional cameo. Nobody wants to deal with him.

[@MeltWithU]

Yep. Him and Bill Murray both have the same reputation. Richard Dreyfuss said that he truly thought that he was bipolar. When they were filming ‘What About Bob’… he said he came back from lunch one day drunk, and put his nose on Richard Dreyfuss‘s nose and told him that he was just tolerated and nobody thought he was talented or wanted him around. Then proceeded to pick up a glass ashtray and threw it at his head. Missing by only a few inches. Dreyfus is convinced that he tried to hit him, but because he was drunk he missed. Said he’s never apologized. So, unfortunately, some of the funniest people in the film are just hateful angry people in real life. I don’t know how anybody in that privileged position could be anything but grateful. But unfortunately, few are.

The Stone Hinge scene was the best scene in this movie.

I only ever watched this, once, when it came out in the theaters. I watch the others, every couple of years, but, aside from Idle, I didn't find anything funny in this one. However, I have been thinking about watching it again. Your video helped.

I'm willing to bet the Vacation movies take place in alternate dimensions.

Also, towards the end of the movie, when the rest of the family has deserted Clark, he's seen taking what is thought to be the first/earliest selfie ever shown in a movie or TV show.

Audrey's actress was fantastic.

I still use the line “ Do you want to watch cheese or snow?” At least twice a year.

One of my favorite movies! He was spot-on with the synopsis.
