What is the most Christmas movie you know, love, and rewatch on the eve of the holidays? Many people will choose between Harry Potter and The Grinch, but Home Alone is still the unanimous leader. We have seen these films dozens of times, but there are details that invariably eluded us or were simply unknown to us.
The movie lovers who live in the Movie Details group decided to share all their discoveries regarding the Home Alone films. They found a lot of interesting hidden details, which we, in turn, hasten to tell you about!
1. Old Man Marley, in the first part of the Home Alone franchise, has a wound on his arm. Kevin notices it during their first meeting. After the bandage is replaced by a band-aid, and at the end of the film, the wound is healed, symbolizing that everything in Marley's life gradually improved, all grievances and problems healed.
2. Buzz's girlfriend in the photo is actually a boy in a wig. The director of the picture was sure that this scene would be too tough for a real girl and skillfully came up with this trick.
3. Joe Pesci's character even has a gun-shaped tie clip.
4. Donald Trump only appeared in the film because he owned the place where this scene was filmed.
5. In the first part of the franchise, Marv wears fake legs in all street scenes.
6. The movie "Angels with Dirty Souls" that Kevin is watching doesn't actually exist. Some of his scenes were filmed exclusively for Home Alone.
7. At the beginning of the first part, Kevin's father tells him to collect all his cars, because "Aunt Leslie almost broke her neck." Kevin memorized this and used it as a trap for the "wet" bandits.
8. In Home Alone 2, an attentive viewer could notice that Kevin's jacket from the first film goes to Fuller, who wears it already in the second. Being sensitive to details, the directors recreated the transfer of things from older brothers and sisters to younger ones, which is common for large families.
9. For the entire second part of the film, the name of the lady with the pigeons was never heard.
10. In Home Alone 2, Harry still has the burn on his arm from the first movie.
11. Every scene in Home Alone is dominated by reds and greens.
12. In the second part of the franchise, Marv is sure that he caught Kevin because he noticed a child in the same hat that was on the main character in the first film.
13. In Home Alone, the McCallister family watches the French version of It's a Wonderful Life (1946) while in Paris. In this film, the protagonist experiences an alternate reality in which he does not exist. A similar thing happens to Kevin himself, who wants his family to disappear.
