Should have made a sequel about the pool called 'National Lampoon's 4th of July Vacation'


An entire movie about it being installed and getting the family together to enjoy it for 4th of July.


"Clark, you always go crazy for 4th of July celebrations".
"I know honey, I just love this country."
"Please don't go crazy with fireworks."

Cut to scene with him pulling out a box of fireworks from the attic.

I LIKE THE CONCEPT....CHASE WOULD HAVE WRECKED IT THOUGH...WE WERE LUCKY THEY NEVER TRYED.

CHASE is a national treasure, you take that back...

Always thought an idea like that would have worked great as an animated tv special. Which is where I would have steered the franchise after the success of this movie. Do all the holidays as new cartoon specials to air alongside the Peanuts and such. They could still be cranking them out today.

The Vacation Reboot was the last chance at any sequel to these movies and it was horrible and not funny.

more vacation tv movies would have been fine with me as chevy got older. he was supposed to be in eddie’s christmas vacation 2 i think. would love a 4 July vacation as well as east coast vacation.

I think the problem is that Chase wouldn't be able to channel the lovability that Clark had. As Chase got older, he became more of a jerk than he was when he was younger. At least when he was young, he could act somewhat lovable.

I don't think he could have pulled off another Vacation movie even with a good script.

National Lampoon already did all the pool jokes in Caddy Shack and Summer Vacation.
