- Going the Wrong Way. Here’s a good example of how dark this comedy is. Among the many gags in the film involving extremely awful travel situations, the idea of Del (Candy) driving on the wrong side of the highway is probably the most memorable.
- Owen. Okay, here’s a scene that’s more fun. Road movies are typically best for their supporting players, the many crazies the traveling protagonists meet along the way.
- “You’re Fucked” This is a John Hughes movie so of course one of those crazy characters is played by the wonderful Edie McClurg. What’s great about this scene and its foul-mouthed rant, which likely ensured the R rating, is how familiar it is to anyone who has been on either side of the counter – obviously it’s even greater if you identify with both (we definitely do).
- Del the Salesman. Del, on the other hand, is typically intended to be the more likable character throughout. Well, likable isn’t the right word, because he truly is irritating and ignorant as hell.

- It's based on a true story. The action of Planes, Trains and Automobiles occurs over the course of just three days. And, according to Kirk Honeycutt's John Hughes: A Life in Film, three days is also how long it took writer-director John Hughes to pen the movie's screenplay.
- John Hughes gave away Planes, Trains and Automobiles ... and then took it back. While John Hughes could write a screenplay with mind-boggling speed, directing a movie took him as long as it takes most everybody else.
- The movie was almost as long as the characters' journey. Planes, Trains and Automobiles runs 93 minutes, and in that time, audiences feel every bit of Neal and Del's frustration as they try to get back to Chicago.
- There's a lot of footage cut from Planes, Trains and Automobiles. As Planes, Trains and Automobiles entered production with a 145-page script and a director adamant on shooting every word, a lot of material wound up excised from the final, theatrical cut of the movie.
- Those aren't pillows. As we've pointed out a few times already, "Planes, Trains & Automobiles" builds the comedic tension in its best scenes piece by piece until the absurdity overflows.
- May I see your rental agreement? For most people, the scene where Neal drops a million F-bombs on a car rental agent (played by the wonderful Edie McClurg) at the airport is a dream come true.
- You're going the wrong way. Neal makes the terrible mistake of allowing Del to drive while he gets some rest in the passenger seat that Del already broke.
- My dogs are barking today. After the delay, Neal is able to board the plane but is furious to discover that he has been bumped back to coach. Not only that but he is forced to sit beside the guy who stole his cab.
