details

• There are many scenes that were cut from the movie that mostly dealt with the developing of John Candy's character and the family before the vacation. There is about 5 minutes snipped out of the first 15-20 min of the film. They include:
  • John Candy pulling over to the side of the highway telling the kids that the car is not moving until he has 5 seconds of silence.
  • Also on the way to Citrus Cove, F.L. they get fast food
  • When they arrive at "the wrong" house they shows snips here and there through the course of their stay of Archie "the dog" chewing the leg off the couch.
  • Then after John Candy unloads the trailer there is another deleted scene involving Bobby and Jennifer about who gets the color TV.
  • Also before they leave the house. Dan Gardner "the owner" of the wrong house they are staying at tells them that it is their house and not John Candy's. You see both of their expressions as to what they are felling at that moment when he and John Candy are in disagreement.
  • When the family leaves to go to right house John Candy says, "Have a nice summer". Following that the 2 owners that own the house laugh and the couch breaks and they fall backwards.
  • Finally the scene where they arrive at the Barnacle for their dinner there is a scene added to fill in for the edited scene where Laurie says, "This place sucks". Instead of showing that they added a very brief scene of Rip Torn's character "Scully" approaching their table.
