During Miles' interrogation of Uncle Buck (22:36 to 23:01), John Candy spoke the script's dialogue, so Macaulay Culkin could say the lines back to him and keep the pace of the scene very fast. (Note that this would be the take of the scene when the camera was set for close-ups of Miles.)
Despite their characters not getting along for the majority of the film, off-camera Jean Louisa Kelly got along very well with John Candy and said she was honored to work with someone she considered a legend.
One night during filming, John Candy went to a bar with Music Supervisor Tarquin Gotch, and spent most of the night there meeting people. The next day, John Hughes heard a caller on a radio talk show excitedly describe his evening with Candy. Hughes was upset with Candy, and despite Candy's assertion that Buck was supposed to appear disheveled, Hughes cancelled his scenes for the day, and told him to get himself together and get some sleep.
Almost every set was built in a local high school gymnasium, including the two-story Russell house.
The noise that Buck's car makes when it backfires is that of a gun shot and a firecracker.
"Buck Russell: I don't think I want to know a six-year-old who isn't a dreamer, or a sillyheart. And I sure don't want to know one who takes their student career seriously. I don't have a college degree. I don't even have a job. But I know a good kid when I see one. Because they're ALL good kids, until dried-out, brain-dead skags like you drag them down and convince them they're no good. You so much as scowl at my niece, or any other kid in this school, and I hear about it, and I'm coming looking for you! [of Anita's mole] Buck Russell: Take this quarter, go downtown, and have a rat gnaw that thing off your face! Good day to you, madam."
"Miles: Where do you live? Buck: In the city. Miles: You have a house? Buck: Apartment. Miles: Own or rent? Buck: Rent. Miles: What do you do for a living? Buck: Lots of things. Miles: Where's your office? Buck: I don't have one. Miles: How come? Buck: I don't need one. Miles: Where's your wife? Buck: Don't have one. Miles: How come? Buck: It's a long story. Miles: You have kids? Buck: No I don't. Miles: How come? Buck: It's an even longer story. Miles: Are you my dad's brother? Buck: What's your record for consecutive questions asked? Miles: 38. Buck: I'm your dad's brother alright."
