Planes, Trains, and Automobiles by BruceM

What movie, from almost a year before Planes, Trains, and Automobiles, was the first film to include both Steve Martin and John Candy? Martin played a dentist, and Candy a disc jockey, in non-overlapping scenes of this movie directed by Frank Oz.

In which subsequent John Hughes movie does John Candy play Gus Polinski? ("Polka King of the Midwest? The Kenosha Kickers? No? That's okay. I thought you might have recognized...")

(Either of two answers is acceptable.) Steve Martin was in just one John Hughes film but John Candy was in six. Three of those six also included the star of the movie described in question 2. One of those three obviously is the movie from question 2. Name either of the other two movies - a 1989 film in which Candy plays the title character, and a 1991 film in which Candy plays officer Danny Muldoon.

What specific form of transportation is central to the scene of Planes, Trains, and Automobiles in which Neal and Del first cross paths (and Kevin Bacon makes a cameo appearance)?

What city is the unexpected landing place of Neal and Del's blizzard-diverted plane flight? This city's airport, named after Dwight D. Eisenhower, has airport code ICT.

Who plays the gate attendant in the city mentioned in question 5? ("Ladies and gentlemen, may I have your attention please. I'm sorry to announce that we're cancelling Flight 909 due to severe weather.") Note that the answers to questions 6 and 8 also happen to play faculty or staff members in Ferris Bueller's Day Off.

Who plays Owen, the spitting, flannel-wearing, wife-haranguing pickup truck driver who picks up Neal and Del at the Braidwood Inn and tells them "People train runs out of Stubbville"? You may know him better from guest appearances on House and Burn Notice, or from his voice work on the audio books of Jonathan Franzen novels.

Who plays the car rental agent whose lines, interspersed before and within a frazzled Neal's f-bomb laden tirade, include: "Welcome to Marathon, may I help you?"; "I really don't care for the way you're speaking to me."; and "May I see your rental agreement?"

What five word sentence (the first word is a contraction) comes next? "Put your window down!" "He wants something..." "Eh, he's probably drunk."

The name of which news anchor (who had previously co-anchored CBS News This Morning and would subsequently co-anchor Good Morning America) fills in the blank: "I'm with the American Light and Fixture Company, jewelry division, and I've got the deal of a lifetime for you. Do you have a minute? This is your [BLANK] autographed earring. Do you ever watch 60 Minutes?"

What type of credit card does Del borrow from Neal's wallet? Frank McNamara conceived of the idea, and co-founded the namesake company, after going to Major's Cabin Grill restaurant without a wallet.

(Either of two answer is acceptable) Name either the instrumental song whose Silicon Teens version (covering Johnny and the Hurricanes) is prominent in the Planes, Trains, and Automobiles soundtrack; or the 1936 Gene Autry western whose title is also the most common name of the "Cowboy Love Song" on which that instrumental was based.
