	Movies - National Lampoon's European Vacation

National Lampoon's European Vacation is a 1985 comedy film, second in the Vacation series, directed by Amy Heckerling and starring Chevy Chase and Beverly D'Angelo.

Dana Hill and Jason Lively, replace Dana Barron and Anthony Michael Hall (both of whom declined to reprise their roles from the first film) as Griswold children Audrey and Rusty.

The film's plot is another family misadventure full of over-the-top, slapstick and bathroom humor. Chase and D'Angelo continue portraying the married couple Clark and Ellen Griswold with two children, Rusty and Audrey, living in suburban Chicago. The family competes in a fictitious game show and wins an all expense paid trip to Europe. In a whirlwind tour of western Europe, chaos of all sorts ensues.

Cameo appearances are made by John Astin (playing game show host "Kent Winkdale", an obvious spoof of then-popular host Wink Martindale), Moon Unit Zappa, Robbie Coltrane, and Eric Idle.

In addition to the Eiffel Tower, other famous landmarks appearing as the family tours England, France, Germany, and Italy include London's Tower Bridge, Stonehenge (which they accidentally knock down with their car), Paris' Left Bank, and Rome's Coliseum.
