James Keach does an outstanding job as the cop. Being an actor myself, I know that it can be hard to convincingly show one emotion at a time, and much hard to convincingly show two. But he comes across as both heartbroken and mad as hell. A very underrated performance that adds a lot to the movie.
Kind of felt sad for Aunt Edna when she finds out about her dog being dragged and killed. But, they were not separated for a long time. They were quickly reunited.

The cop is a good actor ! It cracks Me up when he says " I had a pooch like this when I was a kid !!!" This movie is the quintessential of the 80's that we all love and still enjoy many years later !!
Some guy invoked this as a practical joke years ago (tying a bloody collar and dog leash to his bumper). The state troopers weren't amused. If I recall, he ended up being fined for wasting their time.
Ed, the car salesman: I'll get to the bottom of this. Davenport! Davenport: Yes, Mr. Ed? Ed, the car salesman: Mr. Griswold ordered a blue sports wagon, where is it? Davenport: I don't know sir. Ed, the car salesman: [to Clark] I know what must have happened. It didn't come in. Clark Griswald: Ed, I'm not your average everyday fool. Now I want my blue sports wagon and if you can't get it I'm gonna take my business elsewhere! Where's my old car? Ed, the car salesman: I'm just as upset as you are, believe me. Davenport! Get Mr. Griswald's car back and bring it back here! Now I can get you the wagon, there's not problem there. The problem is that it might take six weeks. Now, I owe it to myself to tell you that if you're taking the whole tribe cross-country, the Wagon Queen Family Truckster... You think you hate it now, wait 'til you drive it. Clark Griswald: I don't want to drive it. I just want my old car back. I'm not falling for this. Let's go, Russ 🤣
I love it when Aunt Edna freaks out! Two of my favorite Aunt Edna scenes in this clip... 0:43 - "Owww! You're tearing my flesh!" 4:33 - "Is this your idea of a good restaurant, Dog Killer?!"
I like when at lunch at cousin eddies she says to Clark about the fruitcake they sent her for Christmas “do you enjoy throwing up every ten minutes Claude?
I bet very few Police officers know the penalty for animal cruelty, actually, there is no need for them to know the penalties of any offense. what difference does it make to them.
@@denimlether5812 that's confused me too... But I figured he drove passed and was able to piece together what it looked like... since he said he was going back there to clean up the carcass, as if he knew exactly where it was.
@@Mozes316 I would expect to find only bits and pieces. Not sure how fast and how many miles it took for the dogs head to disconnect from the leash. Probably a while.
@@denimlether5812 that's how'd I'd imagine it as well. But since this is a movie, I figured not all details would really be all that necessary, honestly. But I totally agree.
As someone who grew up with dogs, dog-sat for friends, and own 2 dogs myself….it’s safe to say I would’ve cuffed Chevy to my car and enjoyed a scenic interstate drive..
I love how subtly the music begins to change in the background, until the cop is shown approaching the car, which by then it’s become full on brutal gladiator music...perfect with the menacing way he walks to the car 😂😂😂😂
I’m pretty sure that he did that on purpose. he hated that dog and aunt Edna plus he was probably elated due to the fact that he wasn’t charged or arrested for that matter.
The whole cop scene was not scripted and Chevy was trying his best not to burst out laughing. That's what explains all his silly expressions at the end.
In the short story this movie is based on, ‘Vacation of 58’ the officer that pulls them over literally says “I had one of these when I was a boy. From the looks of his foot pads I’d say this little guy kept up with you for half a mile or so.”
There was supposed to be a red line behind the car and when the cop showed up there was supposed to be blood on the windshield of his motorcycle and he was supposed to have a few small drops of blood on him. But they felt that would be too much for the viewers to handle.
& Godspeed It was aired exactly as it was (Imagination) Is the Best Read in this Book ... U Can't Re-Write this movie (Line For Line) It's a 10 ++ ~ It's Probably Pretty Stiff? ... God, I Love It ...
Chevy Chase could barely get though this scene without busting up laughing. I think going that far would have taken the humor out of it and just been morbid.
Huh, I just now noticed that the leash and collar had no blood and fur on it and the collar had come undone. So, I guess that tough little mutt escape the Griswalds and Aunt Edna. Probably found miles of trees to pee on and maybe a better master to call home, 'eh?
Or it could have been decided to fly an airplane into an office building. I never trusted that dog. You can hear it in his bark he has some terrorist affiliations.
Even though Clark never meant to do that and he forgot and found out later on. Still, part of me would've ranted in his face till I would burst into tears. I had plenty of cats in my life before, and my dad and his side of the family had a pet dog or more before. Me and my mom were cat people. And animal cruelty is.... despicable. And I don't know who was more emotional about this. The cop, Aunt Edna or me.
I think the beauty of going across country with your family is realizing how much life is 7 count thank you. May you realized you appreciate each other afterwards and like I said so play optimistic I hope the book is don't get your ass kicked
Chevy should have been nominated for an Oscar for pretending to be upset about the dog dying to not get into trouble by the cop that wants to hurt him for it, while he is actually ecstatic about not having to deal with the dog anymore.
How could Clark forgot that Dinky was still tied on the rear bumper? We know the dog hated Clark because of Edna's hatred towards him. Now as a dog owner it's hurts to see a animal suffer like this. But it was truly an accident. Things happen. Poor doggie.
I get it. Dinky was mean to Clark, because Clark made too many mistakes in this movie. & Dinky looked at him like (I do not want to have anything to do with this clumsy individual)! Easy enough to know what Dinky's thinking about this family.
Chris Hansen Was your abusive father a dog lover? Or maybe an ex? Clearly a dog lover made you extremely butthurt, maybe even literally. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) did daddy give you the shaft and make sparky watch?
I'd say that there wasn't really a spiritual successor to the Vacation series until There's Something About Mary. In a way, it's a shame that Mary isn't more of a road movie.
My Dad had a car like that . He would race the and would try to get to the other side before the train with us inside . Or he would sit us on his Lap and let us Steer while he would push on the gas or brakes . Good times
"Poor little guy, probably kept up with you for a mile or so."
Tough little mutt
Thats a scream!!

You would think she would know the dog wasn't next to her or in the car .
It wss her fault for insisting clark take her to Phoenix
No they weren’t. She went to hell.
I swear there was a small clip of the dog getting out of the leash before Clark drove away.
Always look on the bright side!
Presumably Aunt Edna only had to wait a short time before she was reunited with her beloved dog.
Meanmanmartin2007 ba ha ha ha

lol i was waiting for at the end she'd wake up and go "hey whered everybody go?"
Lmao. Thank u.
best comment ever
“When it’s an accident, they call it a man slaughter”
-Chowder from ‘Monster House’.
Clark's reaction to the cop showing him the leash is probably the most Chevy Chase thing I have ever seen Chevy Chase do in any one of his films lol
I love both the cop's face and how he says "get outta the car"

Lasky: Has your father ever killed anyone before?
Rusty: Oh just a dog .. oh and my Aunt Edna
Clark: Hey, you can't prove that Rusty!
Hey sweety, do u hear that rattle?? Its been driving me crazy.... Lmao
Quiet rusty, listen to your mother!
The cop is a good actor ! It cracks Me up when he says " I had a pooch like this when I was a kid !!!" This movie is the quintessential of the 80's that we all love and still enjoy many years later !!
It was an accident. Clark hated the dog as much as Aunt edna but wouldn't be cruel to do that to a dog. The cop was very funny.
I second all that, JR!
fair
I'm pretty sure both the dog and Aunt Edna deserved to die!
Yes..and water is wet
It's clear he didn't do it on purpose but it sure did look like Clark was fighting real hard to keep from laughing in the presence of the cop.
Some guy invoked this as a practical joke years ago (tying a bloody collar and dog leash to his bumper). The state troopers weren't amused. If I recall, he ended up being fined for wasting their time.
Lmao
PETA's favorite scene.
Lmao. Thank u
Yet you never actually see any animal being abused.
Lol

You can see how they're fighting back the laughter.
I remember reading that it took 3 days to shoot this scene because Chase and Keach kept cracking up, and they were only scheduled for 1 day.

Same dog played Chopper in "Stand By Me."
Chopper sick balls
Tough little guy!!
Now I have to look
Popeye was the name of Chopper, but I never knew that that Dinky was the same dog from _Stand By Me_ though...
3:48 You can see Chevy Chase start laughing just before he turns around. He tried so hard to hold it in during the previous 10 seconds or so, LOL.
insanity21376 oh yeah,I notice that.
Most of the scene was ad-libbed. Both Chase and James Keach were stifling laughter throughout the clip.

They tried filming it with the officer holding up a bloody dog pelt instead of the collar, but they all agreed THAT was too much.

excellent observation and outcome
Or, it could starve to death on the highway or get hit by another car. Not a good scenario in any case...
Or as soon as he took off, it could have slipped over his head if it was loose
Or it could have been decided to fly an airplane into an office building. I never trusted that dog. You can hear it in his bark he has some terrorist affiliations.
Dr. Fauci is a dog killer too!

Who he is? What role in this movie?
James, Lebron James ever seen Ghostbusters? He is Egon and he also directed this movie along with many others.
Ok, thanks! RIP.
James, Lebron James no problem
James, Lebron James dumb ass, learn to research your own info instead of getting it from facebook
I read this was an improvised scene, it's really hard for Chevy Chase not to burst out laughing at the end when talking to the cop :)
I read Chevy is an asshole. That's cool. It means..we could relate
Love how Rusty interacts with Dinky!
HDM Reviews Were is Dinky! Is dog 🐕 still in film movie??!!!!today.
Probably dead. This movie was made in the early 80’s. It’s 2019.
Audrey wanted Aunt Edna to hold her purse because she had weed in it. Back in the day when you had to worry about that sort of thing in Colorado.
Aunt Edna : "You've been exceeding the speed limit for thousands of miles".
Clark Griswold is always at the edge of totally losing it and going postal lol
2:43. In the TV version, it was "Explain this, you sadistic bum."
The cop came like a badasss
But went back like a Toddler
😁
4:38 I just had to find that moment. I've been hearing it all week as radio hosts call out Kristi Noem for bragging about how she shot her puppy.
The people in PETA are pissed at this movie scene! 😡😤

I can't stand PETA, but this scene is not cool.
@@SmidBeach 😁😁😁
Even though Chevy was a liberal himself, he was no Joaquin Phoenix. I bet Chevy loved this scene... 😏😏😏😏😏😏😏😏
Not really, they end up killing more animals than saving animals, every year.

No other movie has ever come close to duplicating this scene.

James Keach (Cop) is a good actor.
chris1pugsley It amazes me that he was able to marry Jane Seymour!
He played a cop 👮 in Moving Violations
“You call this a restaurant!? DOG KILLER!!!”
So fng funny!
I think the beauty of going across country with your family is realizing how much life is 7 count thank you. May you realized you appreciate each other afterwards and like I said so play optimistic I hope the book is don't get your ass kicked
I'm pretty sure "Audrey" grew up to be Kristi Noem.
These movies are actually legendary
The dog had it coming.
Chevy should have been nominated for an Oscar for pretending to be upset about the dog dying to not get into trouble by the cop that wants to hurt him for it, while he is actually ecstatic about not having to deal with the dog anymore.
Every day we stray further from dog.
He fakes sorrow and regret as good as I would ,if I could act as good as he can ,love this movie
I love the actor who played the cop
Actor's name is James Keach.
@@partyentertains4092 He stared in a movie with Bill Murry's brother John called ''Moving Violations'' [1985 ] playing a corrupt cop .
@@andysahs1599 That was him??? I didn't know that... 😳
God, I hated that dog..
Me too. I've petted dogs who were much nicer and less viscious!
Jamie Olberding Don’t worry. Aunt Edna was reunited with her dog shortly after
Which is what makes the scene funny. Even thinking of how the way that dog is running while the car is running.
I think the dog was Hitler in a previous life.
Dinky was just a great actor, when the cameras stopped rolling he was the most chill dude on set
‘I’m going back to get the rest of the carcass off the road”....straight face.
Lmfao will you hold my purse huh just hold my purse
I love how the cop unzippers the jacket. Someone is really mad.
How could Clark forgot that Dinky was still tied on the rear bumper? We know the dog hated Clark because of Edna's hatred towards him. Now as a dog owner it's hurts to see a animal suffer like this. But it was truly an accident. Things happen. Poor doggie.
Clark has a severe case of ADD. There are a lot of interesting psychology videos that talk about his quarks.
an officer told me one time after he pulled me over that too never unstrap the seat belt even when stopped lol
Cause a dick cop will charge you with being unrestrained if they are trying to meet their end of the month quota.
We were the Griswalds in NYC...
The 80's , wow
Um, you're supposed to put it on the CAR - NOT the window, Clark.
I have three muts that love to bark everyday, and they drive me nuts.
How does a family forget that their dog is traveling with them!?
I get it. Dinky was mean to Clark, because Clark made too many mistakes in this movie. & Dinky looked at him like (I do not want to have anything to do with this clumsy individual)! Easy enough to know what Dinky's thinking about this family.
At least Snots was more friendlier in _Christmas Vacation..._
Nowadays they couldn't make this because it would be offensive to dogs.
have you seen snakes on a plane? they threw a dog into a snakes mouth
offensive to dogs? offensive to stupid dog lovers yes. HUGE DIFFERENCE.
Every other commercial has a stupid mutt in it. people fall for it because they're stupid.
Chris Hansen Was your abusive father a dog lover? Or maybe an ex? Clearly a dog lover made you extremely butthurt, maybe even literally.
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) did daddy give you the shaft and make sparky watch?
The Krunchman That's totally uncalled for! Please apologize to him.
The one who's playing the motorcycle cop in this movie looks like he's from mash
Cop: "Probably kept up with you for a mile or so" 😂😂
I'd say that there wasn't really a spiritual successor to the Vacation series until There's Something About Mary. In a way, it's a shame that Mary isn't more of a road movie.
James Keach seems to be playing his Moving Violations character here.
God this movies a gem and this is my favorite part from this movie this scenes full of perfect comedic timing 🤣
LOL!!!!!love that dog!
I would never forget something like this. Clark or as his wife calls him Sparky for a weird nickname did forget about tending to Dinky.
He was probably 💢😡 at the Dog for ruining him having sex with his wife in the tent they were in 🤣😂
1:59 this music hits, when your father comes home from work to see you have a bad report card from school
I think that's why that bumper design was eventually cancelled.
The car they drive seems to have been in hundreds of movies and TV shows, its currently in 'The Goldberg', the dads drives around in it..
My Dad had a car like that . He would race the and would try to get to the other side before the train with us inside . Or he would sit us on his Lap and let us Steer while he would push on the gas or brakes . Good times
Chevy Chase and James Keach are trying so hard not to laugh during this. You can see it on their faces when they're "tearing up".
Mr Chinny from League of Gentlemen did the same too.
Saw this in our drivers Ed class today 😂
+IridiumCraft that's funny

Had some damn trigger happy cop with his hand on his holster when he pulled me over when I was learning to drive
Did anyone else notice the reflection of the film crew member's hair in the driver side mirror as the camera slides to the side?
It starts @ 01:42
No
No - my advantage - IS your behavior.
Imagine the wisecracks Clark would make if he let Edna drive the Truckster
4:25 is heartbreaking even though this is a comedy and she’s was a pain but to see her face tear up and the pain would make anyone sad.
“...WAITRESS!”
I had a car like that
Kristi Noem's favorite part.
I’ll bet the Griswald father and son had to be a few pairs of trousers on their vacation. That dog sure enjoyed destroying them.
If Clark forgot would you not think that somebody else in the car would have realized right away something was wrong?
Apparently not. Sometimes that happens where NOBODY remembers.
Wouldn't the dog make a sound like Yelp in pain or something
4:51 - Beverly is corpsing before the tray crashes
"Hold my purse" the tv version is confusing the unedited version is amusing....
