From the May 29, 2015, Today by Matt Murray.
Earlier this month, I wrote about the Family Truckster car from the movie 'Vacation' being at the Volo Auto Museum in Volo, Illinois. This is one of my favorite movies.
Here are 20 more things about the movie:
1. Anthony Michael Hall, who played Rusty Griswold, was going through puberty during the shooting and grew three inches during the shooting..
2. The film was written by John Hughes (who went on to write other 80s classics like "The Breakfast Club" and "Sixteen Candles" and was based on his story "Vacation '58."
3. Shooting for the movie required a real-life road trip for the cast and crew and the film was shot in more than 15 locations across four states.
4. "Vacation" is the only R-rated movie in the series. There was some semi-nudity, plus the scene supposedly from East St. Louis, which director Harold Ramis called the most politically incorrect sequence he ever shot.
5. There were five Wagon Queen Family Trucksters made and used in the production of the film allowing each to be altered in certain ways for the wear and tear of the drive.
