The Story Behind That Kevin Bacon Cameo in 'Planes, Trains & Automobiles'
It's one of the most beloved and celebrated comedies of the 1980s, headlined by two A-list actors and helmed by one of the decade's most sought after writer-directors. John Hughes' classic, Planes, Trains & Automobiles, with Steve Martin and John Candy, has been required holiday viewing for over 36 years and continues to make viewers laugh out loud today.
With Hughes behind the camera, the Hollywood "it" guy who struck gold with Sixteen Candles, The Breakfast Club, and Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Planes, Trains & Automobiles was virtually guaranteed to be a critical and box office smash. It became the 29th top grossing film of 1987, and it earned Candy a nomination for Funniest Actor in a Motion Picture at the 1988 American Comedy Awards.
Trying to catch a cab to the airport so he doesn't miss his flight home, Neal makes a quick exit from a midtown Manhattan meeting. Anyone who's ever tried to get a taxi in New York City at the height of rush hour, let alone rush hour on the day before a holiday, knows it's a feat requiring superhero prowess, not to mention a colossal dose of good luck. While frantically searching for that elusive yellow Ford four-door, Neal spots a cab with its "available" sign lit up.
Bacon's Character Could Be a Crossover from 'She's Having a Baby' Although shot at approximately the same time, Planes, Trains & Automobiles was released three months before She's Having a Baby, on Thanksgiving Day 1987.
Hughes Used Multiple Tie-Ins To His Other Films And the tie-ins don't end there. During the closing credits of She's Having a Baby, John Candy appears briefly as his character Chet Ripley from The Great Outdoors, a 1988 comedy written by Hughes, rattling off potential names for the child that's just been born to Jake and Kristy.
