    I'm sure I've only ever seen early evening tv edits of this, so I'm expecting bits I haven't seen.

    I remember the kids being older...presumably from one of the later 'Vacations'

    Chase and Keach both look like their having trouble in the 'dog leash' scene...

    Didn't The Simpsons do this story?

    The question is, did they make a prop, or did someone have to sit on the roof and act 'dead Edna under a blanket'?

    Kind of depressing to find out that the girl playing the young daughter is now nearly 50 years old

    Although that means that she was about 17 in this!

    Very good. Way better than I remember it being. Best film of the night so far.

    Very good, very much enjoyed that. And a good solid cast, didn't feel like Chase was there to carry the movie. Very good indeed.
