I have done that in real life! Running over a car park and thinking i was the 1st there.... And then it was closed for cleaning! to make things even worst! my brother tripped over and grazed his hands and knees! and spent over 20 quid on plasters. Its funny know.
I love the cymbal crashes at 1:26 and 1:28. Whoever thought of adding that in is a pure genius, because I see it as a way to enhance the dream-like state just before everything falls apart right in front of his eyes. It makes it more comedic and entertaining, and little things like this missing from movies today are what make them so bland and unfunny,.
just wondering if it would be possible for you to edit this video and send it to me? I want it up to 2:40 and could you change the name to just read wally world's closed??? I need to use it for something.....if not no problem thanks for your time...if so please contact me at mindy_sue11@hotmail.com ...THANKS!!!
@Swimmisan isn't it? I grew up wearing this style in the 80's too- just like the boy in the scene, but today, I'm like uber-gay, or whatever if I do it! I find it funny how wearing clothes you've had for over 20 years all of a sudden changes your sexual orientation! It's not like wanting to have sex with the same gender makes you gay, nope, what you wear makes you gay or straight! THAT is the craziest thing I have ever heard, yet people actually do believe it- you can see my thigh, so I'm gay!
@curtmcf I just can't figure why people who didn't live the 80's- or even those who did, call those shorts "gay" or "fag shorts" or whatever, when the internet is such a HUGE source of information. They can't cure their ignorance because of their laziness, and don't realize that the shorts were VERY common back then. VERY VERY common- notice that BOTH the father and son were wearing them in the scene!!
Wow, look at Clark and Rusty's shorts. Look how short they are! lol That just shows how old this movie is. It's still a great movie though. A true classic!
The original ending, like I said, still exists but it's not available to the public, not yet anyway. Maybe someday they'll release a dvd with the original ending as a special feature, who knows? But if you want to know exactly how it plays out, look up the Vacation Script online and it'll tell you. There are no pictures or screenshots, so you'll have to use your imagination.
@pytko3 There are 3 pictures of the original ending. Two of them are the Griswalds aboard the airplane that going to Atlanta and the other is the Griswalds on the patio by the pool of Roy Wally's mansion with holding the gun and Ellen and the kids standing behind him smiling nervously.
After the park, the Griswalds were on a plane home wearing Marty Moose Hats but hear that it's going to Atlanta and Clark yells that they're on the WRONG plane just as it takes off.
However, when they did audience testing, the viewers hated that ending, so they had to think up a new ending and decided they'd have Clark have his family enjoy the park with security at gunpoint.
The footage of the original ending still exists, just not to the public. Chevy Chase has a copy of it, though.
@pytko3 Yeah man I heard that there are over 100 different endings and descpricencies in this movie. I head that this movie had so many modifications they could have over 100 different variations of this movie.
ORIGINALLY, after this, Clark was supposed to buy the gun and the go to Roy Walley's mansion in Beverly Hills where Roy was having a business meeting out on the patio. Clark was supposed to drive the car THROUGH the closed gate, hold Roy and the others at gunpoint and demand they entertain his family. Which they did until the swat team showed up and arrested Clark, but Roy said that he's not pressing charges because he had a similiar vacation and said he's going to open the park just for them.
This movie is great i he reminds me of me alot, maybe theres a griswold in all of us, national lampoons is the best. John candy the security guard is great, if only films today were like this:-( oh well reruns it is. What theme park was this i got to go and when its open. Its worth traveling to america for looks great. God bless america great country great people like the griswolds :-).
Epic film and unforgettable scene from 1:08. I see myself when I was young running with my dad. Lost times.. It's for nostalgia, all this melancholy .. :(
I love Clark's face at 2:06. He can't believe his eyes! Tries to bob and turn his head a little, as to look at the sign form a slightly different angel.
I had the EXACT same thing happen to myself a few years ago after a 4 hour drive to the park. I did learn something that day: Always check if the park is actually opened!
I remember the first time watching this. I had to been around 7 or 8 years old. I was literally screaming at the top of my lungs from laughing so hard from watching classic scene LMAO!!!
I'll never forget the first time I saw this movie back in '83...we were at a theater, I laughed so hard when sucker punched the moose, that I broke wind...VERY LOUDLY, which created even more hysterical laughter in the theater. Ah..to be that young again!
Great series, but, HOW STUPID, constantly changing the kids Roles to other actors, pretty stupid. Make them cousins or other relatives, but, changing the KIDS to other actors was just plain retarded.
