One of my favorite 80s comedy movies is National Lampoon’s Vacation. Chevy Chase and the whole cast were hilarious. The laughs started right from the take off and finished with them. It’s a movie that never gets old for me. Anyway I found some interesting facts about the movie and I’m going to share some of them here. The first one is that Anthony Michael Hall (Rusty) was going through puberty during the filming of the movie and he grew 3” inches. If you pay attention during the scene you might notice that. The movie was the only one from the series that was rated R. Another interesting fact is that there five Wagon Queen Family Trucksters filmed throughout the movie.
