I think I prefer this over the original. My favorite trap is when Marv falls through the hole after saying "Harry, I've reached the top!". It isn't the most elaborate gag, but I found it hysterical. "Wow! What a hole!".
@@marymoor935 Yes he should've. He was The Mekons or The Jazz Butcher of the acting world. And if you don't know those two bands (one's a band, one is a single guy named Pat Fish) if you don't know them - well - there you go. :)
The stuff Kevin bought at Duncan's Toy Chest is apparently some kind of monster themed body soap. It says so on the can and he can be seen using it to make a slip trap later which causes Marv to crash into a shelf of paint cans.
He also forgot to mention the fact they took Donald Trump out because it made Donald Trump look like a nice guy and that doesn’t go against the Chinese narrative. you know the country that own all the American new stations including fox ABC, CNN, MSNBC Disney, ESPN and CBS
In Bulgaria we have this on national TV every Christmas and there is a meme on the internet with Macaulay Culkin saying "You will watch me every year until you die!". :D
In Colombia we see both movies several times in December on FOX Channel and on one of the National TV networks, and in 2014 FOX Channel said "Christmas Isn't Christmas without Home Alone", or well, in the Latino name of the movies, My Poor Little Angel 1 and 2.
The music and scene coordination in the movies were excellent. John Hughes did not originally select Williams when working on the first film, but Williams ended up taking it on when the other composer had other commitments at the time.
Couldn't agree more!!!!! That song, along with All Alone on Christmas are the main reasons I bought the soundtrack to this, and why it's a must listen Everytime that Merry season comes around.
@@the-queenmaleficent7727 Probably so, I've never actually visited the UK (though I'd like to), but to be fair I think our friend Minty is actually Australian (at least from his accent, seems that way to me).
I actually used that slow "Credit Card? You got it!" line when I was paying for my lunch at the Burger King yesterday. The cashier didn't seem to get it. I had fun though.
I also thought it was a green slime of some sort.. The one that mav falls in the basement and slips and the one harry slips on trying to climb up the side of the building
@@eddy192011 it is. Its bubble bath. I always thought it was really weird of him to but that. Maybe the had a bubble bath scene later that was cut out that would have tied it in more?
Home Alone 2 will always be my favorite and that stems from childhood. I still vividly remember seeing it in the theatre as a kid and literally falling out of my chair laughing!
Another fun fact. Most people refer to Tim Curry's character as the concierge. Especially since that's all he calls himself in the movie. However his actual name is Mr. Hector. You can see it on his name tag in some scenes if you look closely and he'll pop up if you Google it.
Well, there was a TV show back in the '90s called "The Critic," about a movie critic. In one episode, as his show is about to go to commercial break, one of the "movies" that he says he'll be reviewing when they get back is "Home Alone...Five!" (They then switch to a clip of a passenger airplane, and a woman's voice-over declares, "Oh, no! We left Kevin home alone, and he's only 21!" It then switches to a now-adult Kevin, with a 5 o'clock shadow and a cigarette in his mouth, as he does the scream.)
When this came out I wanted a talkboy SO BAD. I asked for one for Christmas every year. By the time I got to 17 years old I still wanted one but I started asking instead for a digital voice recorder for taking notes in college. But really I just wanted to play around like Kevin McAllister still lol. Wasn't until around 2008 or 2009 I finally got a digital recorder that I still have today.
I remember Siskel & Ebert re- reviewing the first movie, which they had previously mercilessly panned. They both said that, after seeing it again, finally understood its huge popularity (& plus were knocked over by how much money it had made), and that it WAS after all a good family holiday film. (S & E had select shows where they would reevaluate all the movies they panned then changed their minds about. I always thought this was big of them, because most critics wouldn't be caught doing such a thing).
4:26 That product was called Monster Sap, which was apparently a body soap for kids. From my research, it was created just for the movie. A short while after the movie came out, they actually sold Monster Sap through a Home Alone 2 catalog, but in very limited quantities. Also, the bottles of Monster Sap they sold had the Home Alone 2 logo printed on them. There are bottles of Monster Sap from that catalog that are sold on eBay from time to time, some of which are still in their shrink wrap. However, even though Monster Sap seems like one of those products along with Nickelodeon Slime that kids would have begged their parents to get in the early 1990s, it was never manufactured in mass quantities or sold in stores.
Technically i grew up with both movies but i loved this one way more than the first. Not a lot of people agree either. But this one was always my go to xmas movie as a kid every year!
@@gator9339 the 3rd is definitely underrated. The thing I like about the 3rd was that the traps were spread all throughout the movie. Where as in the first 2, they were all at the end. I also thought it was cool how the 3rd one introduces you to the villains at the very start of the film and you meet the protagonist later. I didn’t even think the 5th one was that bad. It was a more realistic approach. Home Alone 4 on the other hand, probably deserves every bit of hate it’s gotten.
I agree. I always liked this one better because Kevin isn't just sitting in the house for most of the movie, he's actually out it the real world where anything can happen.
And the weirdest fact: Culkin said in a french radio interview what happened to him on set. A big cheese kind of guy lured him into an empty part of the set an offered him sex and drugs. When Culkin said that he was just a kid, that guy showed him his red leather shoes. Made from human flesh. He kept looking at Culkin in a lustful way and told him about the shoes. Thats not madeup, you can look it up.
You are correct. It's the norm in Hollyweird. The Pedo ring runs deep there. Mel Gibson was blacklisted for calling them out. It's the reason Mr. Culkin weirded out and stopped doing movies. He started a band that sang about nothing but pizza. Pizza being a reference of children that the Hollywood elites would have sex with. It was their codeword. He was trying to expose it. It's a sick cult that has been going on for far too long. It's vile and disgusting.
@@jandvadams Yep. 100% true! I just wanted to keep it short. You are well-informed. 👍 Heather O'Rourke, Corey Haim, Corey Feldman. Just a few more victims of this sick industry. And Mel Gibson is one of my personal heroes for having the guts to tell how it is. Kudos, Mr. Gibson, you are very brave!
Thanks you Minty for educating us for what the French guy was saying in French. I am 23 years old and I seen “Home Alone 2” hundreds of times since I was a little boy. For years I have been curious to what he was saying. Thanks you so much
@Necramonium The movie is pretty bad but the book is fantastic. The movie not only changed a lot but also combined elements of two of the books so the story is a mess. Combined with all the acting being terrible and it's just a disaster of a film.
@@gator9339 As a fan of the books i can enjoy it. As a fan of good cinema I recognize how flawed it is. RIP Aliya indeed. She was the standout of the film and I would love to have seen more from her.
My favourite part was when Kevin's playing the VHS tape to mess with the staff and the Gangster says "don't give me that you've been smooching with everybody" and Tim Curry has this funny "did i?" Look on his face
The thing Kevin buys is a bottle of Monster Soap, which he later uses for the traps. It's the stuff Marv slips on that causes him to slide into the paint can shelves, as well as cause Harry to slip off the fire escape ladder in the alley.
The item Kevin buys at the toy store is a green "goop" spray can (sort of like silly string). The same goop he uses to cover the floor and latter with when setting the house traps later on.
It does say “Monster Soap” on the can. I assume it was bathtub soap marketed to kids. But you’re right, it was the stuff that made Marv slip in the basement and Harry off the ladder later in the movie.
My uncle worked near Central Park when that was being filmed. He said it didn't snow that winter, but that corner of Central Park was covered in snow, as they brought in snow machines for the scenes. Well, presumably until that blizzard.
The bottle called "Monster Soap" that Kevin buys at Duncan's Toy Chest is the green substance used for the ladder, off of which which Harry slips, as well as on what Marv slips in the basement.
I can't believe that back then, I never looked at Catherine o'hara as being attractive. But now when I look at old films of her, I ask myself, "what was I thinking sheesh 🙄?".
8:38 The novelization also makes it clear (unlike the movie) that Kevin's family DID find out about the Wet Bandits. Uncle Frank sees the newspaper and says: "Hey, remember those robbers Kevin caught last Christmas? They just escaped from prison!"
I still think this movie is better than the first. The NY setting, Duncan's Toy Chest and the Plaza made this movie much more thrilling. I also really like the song from the movie by Darlene Love, All Alone On Christmas.
"Merry Christmas, ya filthy animal!!!! 💥💥💥💥 and a happy New year 💥" thanks for uploading this Minty personally I love this film have a merry Christmas 🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄
Both great movies. The first one had more heart whereas there second had more slapstick comedy. The second one the theater was packed and my family and I, along with the rest of the crowd, laughed so loud we often missed lines. When Daniel Sterns character got electrocuted and turned into a skeleton we lost it, it was halarious!
Thank you for the fun video! In regards to the toy Kevin purchased at Duncan's Toy Chest, it is a can of slime. You will notice in the scene where Kevin is applying slime to the floor and ladder in the home being renovated, he is using that can!
@Necramonium I've always liked Rob, every since SNL. He had a recent Netflix special. He was good, but brought his daughter out to close the show. She didn't do much for me, but he's still funny.
@@theOGofREDS because it’s like; look what Adam Sandler did for him, not look what he did. He’s successful, but star power, hardly, C level. I’m not even trying to hate, just facts, I love some of his stuff!
I love them both, but Home Alone 2 is more interesting, more colorful and parts being filmed in NYC instead of someone's house can't be beat. Also showing some of the city's iconic places. Has a real Christmas feel. Duncan's was toy heaven. And that little boy waving from a window in the children's hospital was a bit of a tear jerker. Trivia--in the toy store there is a take of Chris Columbus holding his daughter. It appears on the right hand side of the screen, with Columbus pointing out some toys that had caught his daughter's attention.
Fun Fact: The part where Daniel Stern opens the chest and sees it loaded with money followed by saying ‘Happy Hanukkah Marv’ is actually funny because Daniel Stern is Jewish in real life.
Never liked that scene because I felt they should have used the alliteration - "Happy Hannukah, Harry", and "Merry Christmas, Marv" - rather than the reverse.
7:26: Director Chris Columbus steps out from behind the camera to do a cameo as the guy with the little girl, or doing an Alfred Hitchcock, as I like to call it.
I love that Andre thinks Kevin (a 9 year old) can speak some French when he himself can't speak a lick of English lol Great video Minty. Happy holidays all!
Dang, did not know you'd done this. Actually watched it last night with my kids. I liked it, and always considered it equal to the first. Which is rare. My kids (4&6) loved the slapstick. So it hit the correct notes for all of us. I always cry at the 'Christmas Star' song. It's gotten me through some dark Christmases before. It's beautiful. 🌟❄️🎄🗽🌃😂👍
Yeah, you can see "Monster Soap" on the label when you freeze the scene used in this video, and the design of the container is one I've seen used for bubble bath soap.
4:27 it says on it ‘Monster Soap’… and Kevin uses it as one of his traps. Marv slips on it while in the basement and goes into the shelves full of paint.
"...Feed The Birds Tuppence A Bag..." - Mary Poppins Practically Perfect In Every Way. In Other words I Dug It! My favorite Characters were Mister Duncan, The Pigeon Lady, and Ticket Agent New York (Because ALLY SHEEDY, Bro!).
I always thought a good third movie would have had Kevin lost in a foreign city. (Perhaps France so the airplane scene ends up as foreshadowing.) However, to change thing up a bit, have Buzz somehow lost with Kevin so you have a conflict between them over the fact that Buzz is older, but Kevin has more experience being on his own.
I remember getting a Talk Boy! Sadly, even with two older brothers, I never did annoy anyone seriously. Besides that, my kids love both films, but do prefer the second because of the cartoonish violence.
It is nice to hear someone finally point that out; I think a lot of films go underappreciated in their time, but become fond favorites through the years. Well said. ('Pixels' anyone...?)
I remember the very first time I watched this movie that I cried when Kevin is reunited with his mom in front of the Rockefeller Square Christmas tree. So much better than their reunion in the first movie.
An excellent retrospect on a holiday classic, especially when considering there really is no edition of Home Alone 2 (DVD or Blu-ray) that has any real behind the scenes or making of documentary or for that matter any special features at all, something that always puzzled me.
I am guessing it was due to the fact that the movie made less money at the Box Office is why 20th Century Fox never bothered to make a special edition on DVD or Blu Ray. Hopefully that might change in the near future, for years Ghostbusters II lacked a proper special edition release on both DVD and Blu Ray until it finally got one in 2014 when the Ghostbusters franchise celebrated its 30th anniversary. Since Fox is owned by Walt Disney now, maybe we will finally get a proper special edition at last.
In Planes, Trains and Automobiles the Neal and Del characters become skeletons when they drive in between the 2 trucks, In HA2 the Marv character becomes a skeleton when he gets electrocuted, the common connection... John Hughes was involved in both movies. Hughes was director for PT&A and he was the writer of HA2.
I don't know if you knew this Minty, but after 9/11, the scene where Kevin visits the WTC was cut from the tv versions of the film, out of respect for the victims. Apparently as of 2018, the scene was restored. This is definitely my favorite out of the Home Alone films.
I still have my Talkboy. My favorite thing to do with it asva kid was recording my favorite video game soundtracks. This was before game soundtrack CDs actually existed.
In 2005 I met John Heard who played Peter McCallister. I worked security for the tv show Prison Break in Chicago. The show was filmed at Joliet Prison. I was at the entrance of where the prisoners entrance was in back of the Prison. The prison was shut down in 2002. One day John Heard was in a golf cart being driven through. I seen John. My draw dropped because I didn’t know he was in the first season. He said hi and I did get to talk to him. Very kind guy. R.I.P. to John
WOW!!! Thank you for posting this. My name is Peter MacDonough and I am 35-years old!! I am a HUGE FAN of this channel and I watched all the videos until I shipped off to ARMY BASIC TRAINING!!! I have spend 6-months training, and being away from this channel. It feels so wonderful to be home and I hope everyone has a wonderful CHRISTMAS MONTH!!! :)
jaydee4 yeah it was, but the funny thing is that I remembered it as Monster Sap. So I googled it and sure enough it was “sap” even though it says “soap” in the movie.
I remember getting a Tiger talkboy when I was 5 in 1996. Still one of my top 5 childhood movies of all time. This was a golden era to be a kid. This movie played a major part in why I wanted to live in NY as a child. “Nobody wanna be all alone on Christmas”.
I actually remember seeing home alone 2 before the original as a kid. I can't pick which one I like more. Every time I watch the first one I have to watch the second also.
Another one you may have missed: Michael Jackson visited Macauley on set The pair had met some years earlier when Culkin starred in The Nutcracker on Broadway. He also popped up in the video for Jackson’s 1991 hit ‘Black Or White’.
"Two scoops, sir?"

Omg yes 😂

Tim Curry, should be more famous than he is, he is an amazing actor. He should be like Tom Hanks, Robin Williams, etc. World world famous.

I always associate him w/the villain kilokahn from superhuman samurai syber squad,since he is the voice him
The actor for marv can still do that scream. Someone asked him to do it a few years ago and it was spot on.
Hmmm you posted this 2 years ago, and said it was a few years ago… so I wonder how it would be now +5 years later

There’s a can on eBay for about 2,000 bucks.

@@tonyacosta4574 enough of this gooey sh-ow of emotion! Jk!
The thing Kevin buys is a bottle of Monster Soap, which he later uses for the traps. It's the stuff Marv slips on that causes him to slide into the paint can shelves, as well as cause Harry to slip off the fire escape ladder in the alley.
I should have read the comments before posting my comment haha I basically said the same thing
Cool. I didn't know he used it for the ladder.
That little can did all that? That had to have been buckets full of the stuff
The item Kevin buys at the toy store is a green "goop" spray can (sort of like silly string). The same goop he uses to cover the floor and latter with when setting the house traps later on.
It does say “Monster Soap” on the can. I assume it was bathtub soap marketed to kids. But you’re right, it was the stuff that made Marv slip in the basement and Harry off the ladder later in the movie.
Merry Christmas when it comes everyone 🎄
And a Merry Christmas to you and yours
I would rather have Decemberween than Christmas.
Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas!!! 💚❤💚❤🎄🎁
It's a brilliant idea for Kevin going to New York in this sequel. 😀👍🎅
That's brilliant Harry. BRILLIANT!!
The Script was specifically written for Macaulay Culkin who is a born and raised Manhattanite.
My uncle worked near Central Park when that was being filmed. He said it didn't snow that winter, but that corner of Central Park was covered in snow, as they brought in snow machines for the scenes.
Well, presumably until that blizzard.
The bottle called "Monster Soap" that Kevin buys at Duncan's Toy Chest is the green substance used for the ladder, off of which which Harry slips, as well as on what Marv slips in the basement.
I can't believe that back then, I never looked at Catherine o'hara as being attractive.
But now when I look at old films of her, I ask myself, "what was I thinking sheesh 🙄?".
I know what you mean, just t mumsy, did not click for years that she was in beetlejuice,beetlejuice,beetlemmmmmmm.
She looks nicer in the first film though
@@RNC200711 Think so 🤔?. If you pay attention, you can clearly see that she looked
exactly the same, in both parts.
@JH I'm not 100% sure if your comment is directed at me, but "kid"? I'm probably older than you
@JH Ok....you're welcome
I just remember those talkboy tape recorders were a hot item and we all had to have one. Santa never brought me one tho 😂
Me neither we were broke af
I just sold my old Talkboy on Ebay for $200.00
Well damn I would’ve bought it lol
Doug Ripley, ur not alone. Santa didn't get me one either even I was a good kid
8:38 The novelization also makes it clear (unlike the movie) that Kevin's family DID find out about the Wet Bandits. Uncle Frank sees the newspaper and says: "Hey, remember those robbers Kevin caught last Christmas? They just escaped from prison!"
I have never read the novel.
There's a novel??
Thats wild
I still think this movie is better than the first. The NY setting, Duncan's Toy Chest and the Plaza made this movie much more thrilling.
I also really like the song from the movie by Darlene Love, All Alone On Christmas.
New York at Christmastime is magical!
I wanted a Talkboy SO BAD for Christmas when it came out, never did get one.
The one that did come out was nothing like the one Kevin had it was a piece of crap.
I got one and it was a big disappointment...
Dident even know it existed.
you really never deserved one...
My younger brothers had one. It was garbage. Lousy microphone quality, cheap speaker, and a battery vampire.
"Merry Christmas, ya filthy animal!!!! 💥💥💥💥 and a happy New year 💥" thanks for uploading this Minty personally I love this film have a merry Christmas 🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄
Home Alone 1 & 2 are classics, hubby and I watch them without fail every Christmas night and I always look forward to it.
Both great movies. The first one had more heart whereas there second had more slapstick comedy. The second one the theater was packed and my family and I, along with the rest of the crowd, laughed so loud we often missed lines. When Daniel Sterns character got electrocuted and turned into a skeleton we lost it, it was halarious!
HA 2 will always be my favourite home alone movie
No 1 was great fun.
No 2 was the star.
After those it just went down hill....
Same here!
I think the Bird lady, who also appeared in So I married an axe murderererer, was from a UK TV show Called Casualty
Brenda Fricker
Yes your right she was in Casualty I used to watch it regularly.
'I got myself .....a juice tigerrr' _Charlie *A juice tiger?* _ Maye 'A JUICE TIGERRR... I juice everrrthinn noww' lol. Love that movie
Thank you for the fun video! In regards to the toy Kevin purchased at Duncan's Toy Chest, it is a can of slime. You will notice in the scene where Kevin is applying slime to the floor and ladder in the home being renovated, he is using that can!
This and the first movie along with "A Christmas Story" are my three favorite Christmas films. I watch them all each year when I get the chance.
I do to, along with "Die Hard" and "National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation". They are my top five.
You totally missed rob schneider who would go on to become a star.
I wouldn't say he became a"star". C lister maybe. Besides, he was already on SNL by then.
@Necramonium I've always liked Rob, every since SNL. He had a recent Netflix special. He was good, but brought his daughter out to close the show. She didn't do much for me, but he's still funny.
*successful
Rob Schneider carried several box office movies. How is that not star power?
@@theOGofREDS because it’s like; look what Adam Sandler did for him, not look what he did. He’s successful, but star power, hardly, C level. I’m not even trying to hate, just facts, I love some of his stuff!
My sister had a talkboy, she found out if you recorded in slow motion and played it in normal speed, you ended up with a chipmunk voice.
I just sold my old Talkboy on Ebay for $200.00
I love them both, but Home Alone 2 is more interesting, more colorful and parts being filmed in NYC instead of someone's house can't be beat. Also showing some of the city's iconic places. Has a real Christmas feel. Duncan's was toy heaven. And that little boy waving from a window in the children's hospital was a bit of a tear jerker.
Trivia--in the toy store there is a take of Chris Columbus holding his daughter. It appears on the right hand side of the screen, with Columbus pointing out some toys that had caught his daughter's attention.
The thing he buys in the toy store is a made up brand of bubble bath with the monster head being the cap.
Fun Fact: The part where Daniel Stern opens the chest and sees it loaded with money followed by saying ‘Happy Hanukkah Marv’ is actually funny because Daniel Stern is Jewish in real life.
Never liked that scene because I felt they should have used the alliteration - "Happy Hannukah, Harry", and "Merry Christmas, Marv" - rather than the reverse.
That's pretty cool!
This movie made Dove Christmas ornaments a thing to give!
I had a talkboy and it was one of my favorite toys growing up hahah.
I just sold my old Talkboy on Ebay for $200.00
The fact that Home Alone has 65% on rotten tomatoes and home alone 2 has 33% is the reason I don't trust critics anymore 😂
Roger Ebert said Home Alone 3 was better than 1 or 2. Uh, no.
How
@@CCMSingles I actually like Home Alone 3 as well but the first 2 are the best by far.
Just enjoying watching the Minty "10 Things about Home Alone 2" video in my limousine and eating a pizza.
...and your three scoops of ice--cream, because you are not driving.
Can i come...il bring a joint
Cheese only I hope
7:26: Director Chris Columbus steps out from behind the camera to do a cameo as the guy with the little girl, or doing an Alfred Hitchcock, as I like to call it.
I believe the little girl is his daughter.
The little girl is indeed his daughter, and she would also have a small role as Susan Bones in the first two Harry Potter movies directed by Columbus.
I love that Andre thinks Kevin (a 9 year old) can speak some French when he himself can't speak a lick of English lol Great video Minty. Happy holidays all!
Dang, did not know you'd done this. Actually watched it last night with my kids. I liked it, and always considered it equal to the first. Which is rare. My kids (4&6) loved the slapstick. So it hit the correct notes for all of us. I always cry at the 'Christmas Star' song. It's gotten me through some dark Christmases before. It's beautiful. 🌟❄️🎄🗽🌃😂👍
I think the monster soap was bubble bath if I’m not mistaken. Seems like I had a few of them if memory serves me.
Yeah, you can see "Monster Soap" on the label when you freeze the scene used in this video, and the design of the container is one I've seen used for bubble bath soap.
Mysteriously, I can't FIND the Real "Monster Soap" only these Made for the Movie "Monster Sap" products! (Blame it on the CERN- Mandela Effect)
*Takes out a bundle of cash* - "No tip? Okay."
No no no no no wait wait wait wait wait
Tom Curry is like bacon, he just makes everything better.
His name is Tim not Tom
Who's Tom Curry?
I like Tim Hanks acting...🤣
@@chillysauceprophecii 😅😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
TIM !!!!
4:27 it says on it ‘Monster Soap’… and Kevin uses it as one of his traps. Marv slips on it while in the basement and goes into the shelves full of paint.
For some reason, I thought you had did this movie already. It’s one of my favorites!! Still have the dvd. I think I’m gonna watch it now lol
I remember my sister and I had pink TalkGirls that year. Great memories!!
"...Feed The Birds Tuppence A Bag..." - Mary Poppins Practically Perfect In Every Way. In Other words I Dug It! My favorite Characters were Mister Duncan, The Pigeon Lady, and Ticket Agent New York (Because ALLY SHEEDY, Bro!).
I always thought a good third movie would have had Kevin lost in a foreign city. (Perhaps France so the airplane scene ends up as foreshadowing.) However, to change thing up a bit, have Buzz somehow lost with Kevin so you have a conflict between them over the fact that Buzz is older, but Kevin has more experience being on his own.
8:25 heard about this while driving home now I'm going to go online and find a copy of it. God blessed Tim Curry
I remember getting a Talk Boy! Sadly, even with two older brothers, I never did annoy anyone seriously.
Besides that, my kids love both films, but do prefer the second because of the cartoonish violence.
I just sold my old Talkboy on Ebay for $200.00
You have the coolest collection of “stuff” I’ve ever seen.
As far as I am concerned, Home Alone 1 & 2 are the only ones that exist.
"The Good Son" is fucking bad ass
That was one of my favorite movies
Very underrated
The Good Son and My Girl were pretty popular in the 90's, but Home Alone lives on because it's a Christmas classic.
Being a mother of a child his age. I bald my eyes out at the end😭
It is nice to hear someone finally point that out; I think a lot of films go underappreciated in their time, but become fond favorites through the years. Well said. ('Pixels' anyone...?)
I remember the very first time I watched this movie that I cried when Kevin is reunited with his mom in front of the Rockefeller Square Christmas tree. So much better than their reunion in the first movie.
I had trouble breathing because of non-stop laughter when I first watched Home Alone 2 when I was a kid.
An excellent retrospect on a holiday classic, especially when considering there really is no edition of Home Alone 2 (DVD or Blu-ray) that has any real behind the scenes or making of documentary or for that matter any special features at all, something that always puzzled me.
I am guessing it was due to the fact that the movie made less money at the Box Office is why 20th Century Fox never bothered to make a special edition on DVD or Blu Ray. Hopefully that might change in the near future, for years Ghostbusters II lacked a proper special edition release on both DVD and Blu Ray until it finally got one in 2014 when the Ghostbusters franchise celebrated its 30th anniversary.
Since Fox is owned by Walt Disney now, maybe we will finally get a proper special edition at last.
A couple years after this Jake the Muss was terrorising the neighbourhood in “Once Were Warriors”
Such a good film!
Also known as Jango/Boba Fett.
Still waiting for minty to cover that
@@andrewsmall6834 RIP Jeremy Bulloch
A neighbourhood 3,000 miles away.
In Planes, Trains and Automobiles the Neal and Del characters become skeletons when they drive in between the 2 trucks, In HA2 the Marv character becomes a skeleton when he gets electrocuted, the common connection... John Hughes was involved in both movies. Hughes was director for PT&A and he was the writer of HA2.
I don't know if you knew this Minty, but after 9/11, the scene where Kevin visits the WTC was cut from the tv versions of the film, out of respect for the victims. Apparently as of 2018, the scene was restored.
This is definitely my favorite out of the Home Alone films.
"That's a lie." - Cliff.
It's a lie*
I still have my Talkboy. My favorite thing to do with it asva kid was recording my favorite video game soundtracks. This was before game soundtrack CDs actually existed.
"The movie where the McAllister's learn nothing." 😂👏
In 2005 I met John Heard who played Peter McCallister. I worked security for the tv show Prison Break in Chicago. The show was filmed at Joliet Prison. I was at the entrance of where the prisoners entrance was in back of the Prison. The prison was shut down in 2002. One day John Heard was in a golf cart being driven through. I seen John. My draw dropped because I didn’t know he was in the first season. He said hi and I did get to talk to him. Very kind guy. R.I.P. to John
We can do without a vid on HomeAlone3 Minty.
Best part of that movie is Scarlett Johansson
Ever thought about doing an episode for Team America?
nah he does important movies
Fuck yeah.
He should. Truly one of the best satires ever made! Matt Stone & Trey Parker are the best!
WOW!!! Thank you for posting this. My name is Peter MacDonough and I am 35-years old!! I am a HUGE FAN of this channel and I watched all the videos until I shipped off to ARMY BASIC TRAINING!!! I have spend 6-months training, and being away from this channel. It feels so wonderful to be home and I hope everyone has a wonderful CHRISTMAS MONTH!!! :)
“Kid by himself-“ did NO-ONE make the connection to Eloise?!
Eloise is just another of Trump's kids......😆
She's got nothing on our Kev !!! 👱
The thing I think Kevin is buying is soap for kids. Remember seeing bottles like that when i was a kid.
jaydee4 yeah it was, but the funny thing is that I remembered it as Monster Sap. So I googled it and sure enough it was “sap” even though it says “soap” in the movie.
I always thought it was fire crackers
@@geminikid609 Nah. He found those in the first movie in Buzz's room.
By kids you mean Marv & Harry?
Ally Sheedy cameo when Kevin first arrives in New York
She starred in War Games with Broderick before he was in Ferris Buehler’s Day off
where?
@@Only1NoodleWhen he gets off the Plane.
I had just watch Home Alone 1 and 2 yesterday, it is still funny
It’s still bothersome how the world trade centres were removed in the panoramic shot at the airport when Kevin first arrives in New York.
Not always. Depends which video they air and network or channel. We just saw them last year.
The statue poster was a teaser poster in the US
I remember getting a Tiger talkboy when I was 5 in 1996. Still one of my top 5 childhood movies of all time. This was a golden era to be a kid. This movie played a major part in why I wanted to live in NY as a child. “Nobody wanna be all alone on Christmas”.
I actually remember seeing home alone 2 before the original as a kid. I can't pick which one I like more. Every time I watch the first one I have to watch the second also.
same here
Another one you may have missed: Michael Jackson visited Macauley on set
The pair had met some years earlier when Culkin starred in The Nutcracker on Broadway. He also popped up in the video for Jackson’s 1991 hit ‘Black Or White’.
