Notes
Also Known As:
National Lampoon's European Vacation (UK) (video box title)

Trivia: Dana Barron and Anthony Michael Hall were asked to reprise their roles from the first movie. Hall instead opted to do Weird Science (1985) and the producers decided to cast two new actors in the roles. (more)

Goofs: Continuity: When Clark gets out of the car because he had got into the passenger seat (thinking it was the driver's seat) Ellen also get out so that they can swap places. She leaves the door open but when Clark get around to the door it is closed. (more)

Quotes:
Ellen Griswold: Clark, why don't we just forget the "Pig-in-a-Poke" itinerary, and just play it by ear, like normal people?
Clark Griswold: Honey, we're not normal people. We're the Griswolds.
