more like 6'1-6'1.5 because Chevy Chase is strong 6'3 and Candy is almost 2 inches shorter.

Candy was always listed as 6'3". That's what he was.

Wrong. Watch the end of National Lampoons Vacation. Chevy Chase is in Sandals standing right next to John Candy in black boots and Chevy has an easy 2" if not more on John Candy (this was 1982/1983

____________

if chase was 2 inches or more taller than candy who had a footwear advantage in sandals vs big boots and candy was 6'3 barefoot wouldn't that make chase 6'6...

Looks 6"2-6"3 with Tom Hanks.

Not perfect as well, but just for comparison:
Click Here Hanks looking much shorter here.
TheHardTruth says on 29/Aug/11
The picture is heavily tilted in Hanks' favor. You can not judge height by movies, because you donīt know what tricks are used to make an actor taller than he really is. Candy was by no means a small man and looked a solid 6ī2" to me.

If you see Splash Hanks consistently looks the same height or a hair taller than Candy, which is strange.

185-186cm with Hanks.

Maybe 6ft1.75 is nearer than 6ft2?
Sam says on 19/Jul/11
6'2" is very hard to believe next to Tom Hanks

No, he was 2 inches shorter than Chase in that scene in Vacation. Candy was 6'2.

Candy was always listed as 6'3". That's what he was.

I do agree with Rampage i think he did look maybe only 1 inch shorter than Chevy Chase

Wrong. Watch the end of National Lampoons Vacation. Chevy Chase is in Sandals standing right next to John Candy in black boots and Chevy has an easy 2" if not more on John Candy (this was 1982/1983).

I do agree with Rampage i think he did look maybe only 1 inch shorter than Chevy Chase.......possibly though Candy might have footware advantage cause he was wearing cop shoes.

Certainly compared to Steve Martin didn't even look 188cm let alone 189cm.
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover says on 14/Jun/11
Probably 188.6cm
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover says on 29/May/11
He was usually described as either 6ft2 or 6ft3 and on screen he could appear either of those heights. Probably 6ft2.25 or 6ft2.5...around 189cm
mcfan says on 14/May/11
No, he was 2 inches shorter than Chase in that scene in Vacation. Candy was 6'2. This can be backed up by him being an inch taller than 6'1 Dan Aykroyd in The Great Outdoors. Also, in the mud wrestling scene you get a clear view of his height next to 6'1 Bill Murray in Stripes. Candy is barefoot and Murray is wearing plain shoes and he's still a hair taller than Bill.

He was an inch shorter than Chevy Chase in National Lampoons Vacation, James
James says on 16/Feb/11
He was NEVER over 6'2.
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover says on 27/Jan/11
He was about 3 inches talker than Steve Martin...6"2-6"3
James says on 29/Dec/10
he wasn't 189cm. Look at him wiht Steve Martin in Trains, Plains and Automobiles he looks 6'1.5 (187cm).
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover says on 27/Dec/10
189cm Rob?
