National Lampoon's European Vacation
European Vacation (originally given the working title Vacation '2' Europe) is a 1985 comedy film. The second film in National Lampoon’s Vacation film series, it was directed by Amy Heckerling and stars Chevy Chase and Beverly D'Angelo. Dana Hill and Jason Lively replace Dana Barron and Anthony Michael Hall as Griswold children Audrey and Rusty. After Hall declined to reprise his role (he decided to star in Weird Science instead), the producers decided to recast both children.
This, along with Hotel Hell Vacation, was the only Vacation film that did not feature Randy Quaid’s “Cousin Eddie” character. Also, in European Vacation, the family’s name is shown as “Griswald”, though in every other film it is spelled "Griswold".
