What's left behind the scenes

  • At the beginning of the film, Rusty looks through a photo album, the photographs in which are stills from the previous four films in the series: “National Lampoon's Vacation” (1983), “European Vacation” (1985), “Christmas Vacation” (1989), and “Vegas Vacation” (1997).
  • Jason Sudeikis, Adam Sandler, and Michael Rosenbaum also auditioned for the role that went to Ed Helms.
  • The roller coaster shown in the trailer is "The Ninja" attraction from the "Six Flags Over Georgia" amusement park. However, the film itself used the "Colossus and Revolution" roller coasters from "Six Flags Magic Mountain" park.
  • Initially, John Francis Daley and Jonathan M. Goldstein were hired for the project only as screenwriters and did not even anticipate becoming the film's directors.
  • The river rafting scene was filmed at three different locations.
  • Chris Hemsworth was born in 1983, the same year the first film in this series, "Vacation," was released.
  • The first film in the series was shot in a 2.35:1 aspect ratio.
  • The film's director, John Francis Daley, appeared as the operator of the 'Velociraptor' attraction.
  • The van the Griswolds travel in is a modified Toyota Previa.
  • When the Griswolds are eating with Audrey and Stone, the cow in the background intermittently disappears and reappears.
  • The pyramid in Memphis, Tennessee, is visible to the left of the Griswolds' direction of travel. However, since they are traveling to California, they should have been leaving Memphis in this scene, not arriving.
  • After the Griswolds head to San Francisco, they drive across the Golden Gate Bridge. However, since they were previously headed to Southern California and had only passed the Four Corners, they are definitely traveling from the south, where they wouldn't have crossed the Golden Gate Bridge as it's north of San Francisco.
  • In one scene, Russ claims the pilot took the plane (later identified as an A318) to an altitude of 60,000 feet. This is impossible, as the maximum altitude for that type of aircraft is approximately 40,000 feet.
  • When Kevin speaks into the walkie-talkie, it's clearly visible that he isn't pressing the transmit button.
  • When Rusty decided to do a 180-degree drift, the car flipped several times and the side mirrors on both sides of the car were damaged. The next day, the mirrors are in perfect condition.
  • At the beginning of the film, Rusty looks through a photo album, the pictures in which are frames from the previous four films in the series: 'Vacation' (1983), 'European Vacation' (1985), 'Christmas Vacation' (1989), and 'Vegas Vacation' (1997).
  • The roller coaster shown in the trailer is the 'The Ninja' attraction from the 'Six Flags Over Georgia' amusement park. However, in the film itself, the 'Colossus and Revolution' roller coasters from 'Six Flags Magic Mountain' were used.
  • Chris Hemsworth was born in 1983, the same year the first film in this series, 'Vacation,' was released.
  • The film's director, John Francis Daley, appeared as the operator of the "Velociraptor" ride.
