[@johnkc4775]

I remember seeing this in the theater over 30 years ago, I have seen this scene at least a hundred times now, it NEVER ever gets old. Just watched it now and literally had me in tears of laughter. Has to be the best set up to a gag in a movie ever. Hughes took this whole idea to a level of perfect comedy, incredible.

[@filmsforallnations]

If this scene had been made 20 years later, then John Candy would have appeared as a computer-generated devil. I prefer seeing the actor in a costume, as it feels so much more real, especially with the laugh. There are just some things that a computer can not create!

[@estelazalazar2428]

+Ross Hendrick well said it

[@filmsforallnations]

John Candy was an absolute legend. He only changed his look for Planes, Trains and Automobiles. The moustache was only ever seen in this movie!

[@klausmkl]

he was a great guy too, miss him.

[@SourMlkSea]

@Ross well said bud but not the only movie he changed his look...Canadian bacon. Then you have the skits from the tv show Fridays which was like a spin off of Saturday night live. You're first comment was extremely well said. You're absolutely correct about computers opposed to the actual person in costume. No comparison. Grest comment good Sir.

I watched this movie with my cousin and we both laughed till we had tears in our eyes. A few weeks later, a friend of my cousin invited us to go shopping with his family. I thought the dad looked a lot like John Candy. I mentioned this to my cousin on the drive back home and my cousin started laughing. In the end my cousin rented the movie and watched it with that family. The dad was a very good sport. He actually loved the movie. I love this movie!!

This is one of the funniest sequences in any movie... Ray Charles on the dash board, the parka getting hung up, the wrong direction, the fire...and then right after that, the "camp" scene at the motel, getting drunk pff of the mini liquor bottles, reversing into motel, mashing out, and then the scene with the highway patrolman in the burned down Chrysler. It's pure gold.

In 9th grade I had to do a presentation on transportation in the United States. I thought editing together some scenes from P, T, & A, including this one would be a brilliant idea. My teacher disagreed and sat scowling in the back of the room. The other kids in the class loved it, though.

But why he looked at the ground before realising he’s going the wrong direction? What’s the white stuff?

This is a great question. I don't understand why looking out the window and seeing snow caused Steve Martin to panic. What was it about seeing the snow made him realize they were going the wrong way?

[@derar123]

@@marchicago yeah, someone said there shouldn’t be snow between the two cars, instead white lines. Still not convinced 😂

We must have watched it three times in the row, half asleep and dying of laughter. Genuinely one of the funniest things I have ever seen. The gasping from Steve martin is very similar to how abbot and costello did shock comedy and it immediately reminded me of those classic bits.

Yes. It's generally referred to as a divided highway. There is a median dividing the two directions of traffic, and seeing that snow-covered median on the right-hand side tipped him off that they were on the wrong side of the highway.
