But few people realize the deepness to this film. Especially the end scene at the train station when Del confesses his wife's been dead for three years.
If they ever decide to do a remake, I could see Ted Danson as Neal and either John Goodman or (if he can do an American accent) Robbie Coltrane (Hagrid from Harry Potter) as Del.
I saw Due Date and kept thinking of this movie. Especially when just before they crash, Robert downey looks at the dude driving and the dude turns into the laughing devil... that scene is a straight copy from this movie.
@Boomation Plains, Trains and Automobiles came out first so you can't compare it as if they copied Due Date... IT WAS 24 year ahead of them and 1,000,000,000,000,000 better then Due Date!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks!
@Danigurlks I know... I'm not saying Planes, Trains, and Automobiles came first. I'm saying Due Date ripped this off! I just didn't know how to put it into words in the original comment, so yeah... I'm accusing Due Date for ripping this off!
I really wish this film had been about 15-20 minutes longer. It looks as if there may have been a lot of really funny deleted material, and with certain scenes missing you can sense some gaps in narrative continuity.
I remember watching this movie with my dad around Christmas time. He LOVED this movie. He passed away recently so I decided to look this up. It brings back memories for me.
I think the pizza scenes have been deleted from the film, i bet if you get the movie on dvd, you'll find the pizza scenes in Deleted Scenes in the Special Features!
@XMOO7 It's not just you, comedy has gone flatrate. I miss those 80s, where comedy used to have a higher level. It's not just that you are brought to tears from laughing but also there's a moral to the story. Perfect film.
I remember seeing this trailer years ago and recognizing a handful of scenes that didn't make the final cut. Among them that doesn't seem to be included here was of Steve Martin brushing his teeth. Sure wish they'd release the Blu-ray with all deleted scenes and a commentary by Steve Martin!
I watched this film, and oh my gosh its so moving aswell as funny! I loved John Candys character and he nearly made me cry at the end when he said he was homeless :( i would recommend it to anyone who hasn't watched it, 10/10 <3
I was thinking the same thing. I heard the original cut was over 3 hours and they cut an hour and a half off. Apparently the footage is still around somewhere at Paramount
im not surprised....2 great comedians and a great director.....uve got a formula for many hours of footage. They should make a special edition....the current dvd has nothing on it
@JustDoWhatITellYou You're right, John Hughes himself said that there does exist a 3 hour version but not all together, all that extra footage is still sitting in a Paramount vault somewhere. he also said that it's probably deteriorated by now but i'm hoping that part's not true since i would love to imagine that all the extra footage will one day be found, put together and be available on DVD or Blu-Ray as a complete, uncut edition! i can guarantee you that i'll certainly buy a copy!
People may scoff at the idea of Candy being a great actor...but the point is comedy acting is probably the hardest style for any actor to pull off successfully....making people laugh is one of the most difficult skills going...this is why i regard Peter Sellers as one of the greatest actors of his generation.
I think in this role...Candy was simply outstanding and it is one of the greatest comedy acting performances I've seen.
