No reference to National Lampoons Vacation on trivia page

#1 Post by MHTR »

I was reading through the trivia page and I couldn't help but notice under the Cultural References section there is no reference to the movie Vacation (with Chevy Chase). If my memory serves me correctly, near the end of the movie Chase's character buys a B.B. gun and uses it to fool his way into the theme park. After a while, the security guard (John Candy, I think) notices it isn't real and makes a comment about it, to which Chase's character replies, "This is a genuine Magnum P.I."

EDIT:
It's right, found it here, although I mistakenly added the word "genuine."

The 308 Ferrari in the show was another nod to Magnum and great to see and hear......Christie Brinkley wasn't bad either. :wink:

I liked that they did a sequel to that scene in Vegas Vacation......using a four seater Ferrari Mondial t Cab.
