I LOVE That movie... but, yea.. once they go to Italy, it's pretty lame.
"WHERE ARE THE WINNEBAGOES!!" is a line I use often. My closest friends know where it comes from.
Did you know, the opening scene where Murray throws the keys off the bridge was filmed in LOUISVILLE? I lived here... but, never knew that until I watched the movie again a few weeks ago. I recognized the bridge.
in STRIPES the army scenes were filmed at Ft Knox
Which is funny, because there were no Winnebagos used in the film. They were made out of GMC motorhomes, which were all front-wheel drives using the Oldsmobile 455 V-8 (later years were 403 Cubic inches) and transaxle from the Toronado.
