Comments made in brackets are corrections from other visitors. As such, any aggressive/abusive corrections (and I get quite a few) written as if they're comments I've made myself will be ignored. To submit your own corrections for mistakes, just click the edit icon under an entry, then choose "correct entry". Some entries have "duplicated entry" after them - these are entries which were already listed on the main page, but were submitted again. I occasionally leave these online for a while, just in case they were moved in error, so don't worry about pointing them out to me.

Entry When Clark discovers the bound man in the trunk, he slams it back shut but there is a hole cut out in the trunk-lid, presumably for the camera. [Most cars have cutouts in the trunk lid. They are for bolt holes, part of the trunk's frame, braces so the trunk doesn't bend when you slam it shut, etc. ]
Entry In Rome, when Chevy Chase goes through the revolving door at the hotel, Eric Idle starts yelling a split second before his cast gets caught in it. [He saw his leg was about to be caught in the revolving door, and tried shouting at Clark to get his attention. Not really a mistake.]
Entry When Clark is taking a Polaroid of the family, the photograph just 'flies' out of the camera. Polaroids don't do that, they come out slowly and partly stay secured to the exit rollers until they are pulled out. [That's the point: He has bought a defective camera. Just like everything he buys/does: It goes wrong.]
Entry In the Italy scene after the visit to the Traveler's Cheque center, the Griswold's decide to go shopping with the $3000 they received. Rusty proclaims "Yeah Dad, we've been in these clothes a long time, I feel rank." Shortly after walking out of the store wearing their new clothes it changes to the scene right before they see Ellen on the billboard, and low-and-behold they are back in their old rank clothes. [This scene takes place the next day. There's no reason they couldn't be in the old clothes.]
