National Lampoon's Vacation/Trivia


 * Hey, It's That Guy!: The police officer that pulls the Griswolds after dragging the dog is Deputy Halik from Moving Violations.
 * Cousin Eddie's daughter is a very young Jenna from Thirty Rock.
 * European Vacation is filled with this for European audiences, as the supporting cast was drawn from comic and character actors from each country featured. Just to name a few: British comic actors Mel Smith (the London hotelier), Robbie Coltrane, Maureen Lipman (other guests in the hotel), Ballard Berkeley (the second motorist), and Eric Idle (the injury-prone cyclist), French character performers Didier Pain (the camera thief) and Victor Lanoux (one of Ellen's kidnappers), and German comedy veterans Willy Millowitsch and Erika Wackernagel (the Griswolds' unwitting German hosts).
 * Meanwhile, for American audiences, Pig in a Poke is presented by John Astin and announced by Gary Owens.
 * After Christmas Vacation Rusty will move to California and become a physicist.
