Michael McKean's scene in "Planes, Trains and Automobiles"

From IMDB: Michael McKean's role as the Wisconsin State Trooper [in "Planes, Trains and Automobiles"] was actually much longer as originally shot. In a 1990s interview, McKean said his character was intended to provide additional exposition. As originally shot, Del pleads with the trooper not to impound the smoldering car as he is getting Neal home for Thanksgiving, specifically mentioning home as Chicago, as well as having driven from St. Louis. The trooper then informs them they had overshot Chicago roughly a hundred miles back, noting they were driving north, and were now in Wisconsin. Upon hearing this news, and realizing he could have been home hours ago, as well as their last mode of transportation now gone, Neal attacks Del and winds up chasing him around the car, which the trooper had to comically break up. As plot points frequently changed during filming, John Hughes discarded most of the scene and re-shot it as just a traffic stop resulting in the burnt out car getting impounded, leaving out any information either about where they were or about the pair being lost. Michael McKean had to return to Buffalo to shoot the shorter version which explains the continuity issue between the sunny and cloudy skies in the scene.

HE ORCHESTRATED IT! JIMMY!

Slipping Neal, I can handle just fine, but Slipping Neal with a smoldering car is like a chimp with a machine gun. The highway is sacred, and when you abuse that power, cars get impounded.
