    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Ellen calls Clark "Sparky" in all four Vacation movies. In the DVD commentary for this movie, Chevy Chase said that the nickname was Beverly D'Angelo's idea, and she still affectionately calls him Sparky.
    • Goofs
      When the Griswalds abandon their car in Germany, they also abandoned their luggage. Yet when they are on the train, they have changed clothes.
    • Quotes

      Rusty Griswold: [watching the romantic couple make out at the table] Dad he's grabbing her tits right there at the table!

      Clark Griswold: Just eat your breakfast, Russ.

      Rusty Griswold: [Rusty still watching the couple] ... Dad, I think he's gonna pork her.

      Clark Griswold: He's not gonna pork her, Russ.

      Rusty Griswold: I think he's gonna.

      Clark Griswold: He may pork her, finish your breakfast.

    • Crazy credits
      The opening credits are stamped on various parts of passports, including the passport photos of the cast.
    • Alternate versions
      A recent airing on AMC has the following edits: 1) the scene with the topless female aerobic dancers is completely cut out; 2) Helga's subtitled reply when the Griswalds leave is "Beats the crap out of me"; 3) when Claudia unbuttons her top, we do not see her bare breasts, and Rusty's reaction is "Holy ****"; 4) at the last scene with Claudia when the bells are ringing, we are zoomed to see just Rusty and Claudia's heads.

    I wondered whatever happened to Jack? :D
    OK, was this the best Vacation sequel? No, not really. But it still had a great amount of a laughter. I can't believe that some people really didn't like this film. Don't you have moments where you just want to sit down and laugh? Don't think, just laugh and have a good time with the film? The Griswalds are back and they are in Europe! They have won an excellent trip to London, Paris, Germany(they don't state where), and Rome. Of course they do manage to get into trouble, otherwise it wouldn't be a comedy. Clark still has the "father-knows-best" policy and becomes more obsessed with having a good time with the family than listening to them and their ideas. Ellen has become a famous naked model in Europe because of some undeleted footage that was stolen from Clark on his camera. Rusty is opting for a lot of booty in Europe and Audrey just won't shut up about a not all that boyfriend, Jack.

    This movie has non-stop laughter that you have to admit is catchy. They did recycle some jokes from the first, but I think you need to let go and have some fun. This was an enjoyable film.
