Duration of trip

Was it two days, as stated in the intro paragraph, or three days, as given in the plot section? IIRC they have two nights, so might depend on your definition - could have been ~48 hours [2 days] or included time in a total of 3 days.137.222.114.238 (talk) 19:46, 2 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Quotes

I recommend removing this quote. It seems to be obviously there for the sake of plastering "fuck" all over an article with legitimate purposes. It looks pretty pathetic to have a short summary and a big quote at the end (which really contributes nothing to the article). We should develop the article to look more like other movie articles. If there are no votes against removal, please remove it.--Will2k 17:26, Apr 13, 2005 (UTC)

If does stay (which I don't think it should) it should be uncensored. Cosmos 23:28, 30 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I removed it. It was not necesary for that to be on there.

I found a youtube clip that counts 19 f*%ks in total, but it is 18 for Steve Martin and 1 for Edie McClurg (see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2-9g9lZSefI) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dresi (talk • contribs) 22:30, 13 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Abott and Costello

Comparing the characters to Abbott and Costello is not WP:NPOV and WP:OR, so I removed them. Chewbacca1010 20:08, 9 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Correction

The character Neil Page uses the word 'fuck' 18 times in the famous scene, not 19 as mentioned in the article. The word is said 19 times but the final usage comes from the ticket agent (Edie McClurg). --Bentonia School 12:44, 11 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It also wasn't the word "fuck" that Neil uses, it was "fucking", Edie McClurg says "You're fucked"...... If any of that really even matters. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Fireman71 (talk • contribs) 20:11, 31 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, I forgot to sign the last post. --Fireman71 (talk) 15:21, 1 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The moral to the story

As long as you are more patient enough, you will never know where your next friend will be. SolanaRanger (talk) 22:05, 30 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

They were in Wisconsin when their car was impounded.

Although the map shows that Neal and Del went from Missouri into Illinois and to Chicago; they did go to Wisconsin for a short time. This is where they met Wisconsin State Trooper Michael McKean who impounds their car and they have to ride in the back of a milk truck to get to Chicago. This can be proven by looking at the right side panel of the police car when he pulls out of his hiding place to chase Neal and Del. The right side panel of the police car clearly shows the state of Wisconsin. It was states at the IMDB that there was a scene that explained how they wound up in Wisconsin, but, obviously after the fire that almost destroyed their car, they got lost, and their maps were burnt up.204.80.61.110 (talk) 15:20, 30 November 2010 (UTC)Bennett Turk[reply]

Reception

The reception section is a mess, and is in need of a complete reorganization, improvement of the refs, and a more clear description of what specific critics said about the film. One assertion is that the film received critical applause, with a reference that says "the film never gets off the ground." This simply makes no sense. ---The Old Jacobite_{The '45} 21:09, 1 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The business figures, both for earnings and budget, are very suspect too. I've replaced the claim that it "earned over 150,000,000" with the figure for its domestic gross. I seem to recall the budget was nearer to $30m than $15m, but I'll need to find a source for that. Miles Creagh (talk) 21:20, 1 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

House

Is the house Steve Martin and his family live in, the same one used for Home Alone? It looks like it. 72.86.42.38 (talk) 02:57, 22 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
