New "Vacation" Commentary track

After much anticipation we sat down to watch "Vacation" with Randy Quaid, etc.
and man were we let down... Chevy Chase just proves what a burned out un-funny
guy he really is and not much more.

Save your money.

I dont think having a "bad" commentary is reason not to get a darn funny
movie.
"Vacation" is still a "laugh outloud" movie everytime I see it......

Spend your movie........GET THIS MOVIE!!!

Chevy seemed very full of himself.
What a shame.
And they call this a "Special Edition"?
What was so "special" about it? Where's the original ending? How about a
documentary? How about something other than a couple two minute sound blips.
The commentary was good, but the comments were not. Quite boring.
Very unhappy with this one!

Er...not sure about that, but I know originally Aunt Edna was supposed to be
alive, she wakes up sitting on the porch where they left her.

Before they released the film to theatres, they changed
the ending because test audiences didn't like it. The movie
still has the ending that everyone is familiar with, but the
DVD does not have the original ending that almost
nobody has seen.

Below is a description of the original ending:

SPOILERS









In the original ending, after Clark punches
Marty Moose, and buys the b.b. gun, he than
drives into Beverly Hills instead of returning to
Wally World. He finds Roy Wally's mansion,
and drives through the front gates, and finds
Roy Wally on the back patio having a meeting
with some of his associates. Clark than forces
Wally and his associates at gunpoint, to sing and
dance to some Marty Moose songs. The police
arrive, and the ending is similar to the police arriving
at Wally World. Clark and Roy have a heart to heart,
and Wally decides not to press any charges. The final
scene is the Griswolds on an airplane. They are
discussing their vacation, and how they must add Roy
Wally to their Christmas card list, and wearing Marty
Moose hats. The flight attendant announces on the P.A.
that the flight is headed on a non-stop to Atlanta. Clark
realizes they are on the wrong plane, gets up and begins
to scream that they are on the wrong plane. Then it cuts
to the runway, and you hear the ground control radioing
in for security about a cabin disruption.
