European Vacation: Am I the only one who sees the world-building potential?

Okay, so hear me out. I know, I KNOW, National Lampoon's European Vacation isn't exactly Dune or anything. But as a massive sci-fi and world-building nerd, I actually kinda see some hidden potential here. Think about it: the movie basically throws a bunch of American archetypes into a completely alien (to them!) cultural landscape. It's like... a comedic first contact scenario, right? We're watching how these characters react, adapt (or mostly don't adapt), and how the different cultures interact with them. Specifically, I'm thinking about the driving scene in London. The sheer chaos of Clark trying to navigate on the wrong side of the road, the roundabouts, the exasperated British drivers... it's hilarious, sure, but it also paints a really vivid (and exaggerated) picture of London traffic culture. And then there's the whole misunderstanding Clark has with the German guy about the car's color. Isn't that exploring the theme of miscommunication between cultures when you get down to it? I'm probably overthinking this, but what if someone took the fundamental idea of culture clash from European Vacation but turned it into a legit sci-fi story? Like, imagine a group of well-meaning but clueless Earthlings accidentally stumble into a galactic civilization with super-strict social rules and customs. The possibilities for humor AND social commentary are endless! Am I alone in this, or does anyone else see the sci-fi world-building potential hiding beneath the surface of this goofy 80s comedy? BTW Chevy Chase is pretty underrated imo. What do you all think?
