Until New Jersey mentioned it, how many can honestly say they saw the watermelon?
I didn't but as soon as he mentioned it, I looked for it.

It was definitely there, but only when Reno pointed it out.

W.D. Richter discussed the making of the film in detail in Empire a few years back. It was such a great article! I believe he discussed the watermelon a bit.

Okay, I've seen this film about a million times and find something new and wonderful in it each time...

But I don't remember a watermelon. What watermelon?

We saw it and even continued to riff on it when around watermelons for years afterward.
Side note: The rare Buckaroo Bonzai book is written from Rawhide's perspective. I don't recall the water melon in it. I took considerable care of the book and always retrieved it when loaned. It mysteriously vanished about 10 years ago.
