stars  Buck plays part of the theme from "The Twilight Zone" (1959) on the piano just before he smashes the plate.

stars  The noise that Buck's car makes when it backfires is that of a gun shot and a firecracker.

stars  Almost every set was built in a local highschool gymnasium, including the two-story Russell house.

stars  * * One night during filming John Candy went to a bar with Tarquin Gotch and spent most of the night there meeting people. The next day John Hughes heard a caller on a radio talk show describe his evening with Candy. Hughes was upset with Candy and despite Candy's assertion that Buck was supposed to appear disheveled, Hughes canceled his scenes for the day and told him to get himself together and get some sleep.

stars  During Miles' interrogation of Uncle Buck, John Candy wrote out the script's dialog and wore it atop his head so Macaulay Culkin could read the lines more quickly and keep the pace of the scene very fast.
