“That there Clark is an R.V.!”
This is NOT Chumlee!
Despite rumors on the internet, Rocky, played by Cody Burger, is not Pawn Star’s Chumlee. Mr. Burger is currently attending college in Florida and plans on making an acting comeback.
BONUS TRIVIA! Rocky never speaks in Christmas Vacation!
There is a Reason Aunt Bethany Looked Shaky in Christmas Vacation!
During filming, when Uncle Louis and Aunt Bethany arrive, there was a minor earthquake that took place during filming. The next time you are watching, watch when Bethany enters the home, the shot starts to shake but was left in!
Christmas Vacation meets Overboard!
The truck that tailgates Clark in the beginning of the movie is the same Dodge work-truck that Kurt Russell drove in the 1987 classic “Overboard”!
Griswold v. Claus
After the Christmas lights fail to come on, Clark freaks out and beats up the decorations in the yard. When Chevy Chase punches Santa Claus, he actually broke one of his fingers, which irritated the actor so much that Mr. Chase proceeds to beat the snot out of the rest of the decorations! The frenzy was so perfect that the scene was left in!
Christmas Vacation’s SNL Foursome!
There are a total of FOUR Saturday Night Live alumni in National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation!
Two-Time Offenders
When Cousin Eddie kidnaps Clark’s boss, Ellen tells him, “this is our first kidnapping”. Any Vacation aficionado knows that this statement is FALSE! In the first Vacation movie, Clark kidnaps the security guard, played by John Candy, and takes ALL OF Walley World hostage after the moose out front tells him that the park is closed!
