    I’d like to see some of the missing scenes that didn’t come on the home video version. There is the big fish in the lake, the trailer incident with the state trooper, the moose chat, belching scene, and a few dozen more if I’m not mistaken.

    You know Dan Aykroyd suffers from Tourette’s and Asperger’s

    @BoyMeetsWorldVault – What is that? Peace!

  12. graemeoliver84 says:

    @BoyMeetsWorldVault I don’t think that’s really true, not the Aspergers bit. I know he’s said he was diagnosed with it when he was young but it would have been over 40 years ago and the psychiatric community’s understanding of autism has changed a lot, even now they haven’t got it totally figured out. People with Aspergers syndrome are supposed to have trouble relating to other people and I don’t think he has that problem, if anything he seems like one of the nicest celebrities out there.

    HAHA John Candy (RIP) & Dan Aykroyd are the greatest comedian ever.
    But who ever dislikes the movie needs to be introduced to Mr Thick Dick & Mr Urinal Cake….LOL :)

  22. TheEzygoin says:

    It should be a requirement of summer to watch this movie every year!

  23. 4MyNation says:

    This movie is awesome because it’s a classic 80′s movie, but it’s also one of those movies I watch on a rainy day when I can’t go fishing. They need to make more outdoors type movies!
