Incompetent Guard Animal | |
| Summer Rental / int_2f0bc75e | comment |
Incompetent Guard Animal: Archie is not much of a guard dog; when a family enters the rental house in the middle of the night, he doesn't even lift his head (though in his defense, the house was actually theirs), and when beach-goers help themselves into the Chesters' other rental, Archie sits in bed to watch T.V. with one of the invaders. He does, however, bark at some neighbors who were minding their business. | |

Buxom Beauty Standard: Jack meets a neighbor at the resort town who has just had enlargement surgery, and feels the need to ask everyone's opinion of how they look. Her husband tells Jack she's been doing this for weeks since the surgery, much to his chagrin. | |

Insatiable Newlyweds | |
| Summer Rental / int_89283763 | comment |
Insatiable Newlyweds: Though certainly not newly-weds after having three kids together, it's notable for the genre and the time period that there are at least three instances where Jack and Scully are implied to have sex or talk about having sex. | |

| Summer Rental / int_acecb17d | comment |
Chekhov's Skill: Jack's experience as an air traffic controller allows him to recognize a microburst of wind when it affects a passing plane. He then uses it to his advantage to overtake Captain Pellet's boat and win the Regatta. | |

Underwear Flag | |
| Summer Rental / int_bb08509e | comment |
Underwear Flag: Zig-zagged; when the Barnacle needs a little boost of speed, achieved by adding another small sail, Jack has the idea to hang his trousers up the mast, finishing the race in his underwear. | |

| Summer Rental / int_e6f3cc6e | comment |
Embarrassingly Painful Sunburn: After taking a nap in the sun, Jack spends the rest of the film with a sunburn, though it gets less embarrassingly painful as the film goes on and the burn fades. | |

Jerkass: Captain Al Pellet really has it in for Jack. When he takes over the property after Jack's original landlord dies, his first act is to tear up Jack's rent check in front of him and threaten to evict him unless he moves out. | |
