The top mistakes in National Lampoon's Vacation http://www.moviemistakes.com/film877 en Sat, 21 Nov 2009 06:55:07 +0000 5371 In the early part of the film, Beverly D'Angelo and Chevy Chase check into the hotel/motel. She goes in to take a shower but he barges in. If you look real closely, she is wearing underpants and is not nude although she is taking a shower. 5367 In the scene where Christie Brinkley takes off her clothes and invites Chevy into the pool, he takes off his pants and we are supposed to assume he's naked. When he dives in you can see he's wearing flesh coloured underwear. 10656 In the film's first scene, as Clark and Russ Griswold make a left hand turn to pull into the used car lot in Chicago, the upper quarter of the screen shows mountains and palm trees in the background, which is an impossibility for Chicago. I believe the nearest mountain range to Chicago is in Arkansas and the nearest palm trees reside in Louisiana. (This scene was filmed in California, which explains the mountains and palm trees, BUT nonetheless a mistake.) 10946 When Clark falls asleep at the wheel, right after the guy with the grocery bags moves out of the way, if you look closely in the driver seat, you can see there's in a man with his hands firmly on the wheel- fully awake. Now right before this happens, the focus is on Clark sleeping... 29981 Aunt Edna is supposed to be dead. In the scene where the kids keep pushing her back and forth before they know she's dead, look closely at her eyes. You can see them flickering rapidly while her head is against Rusty's shoulder.
