Home Alone 2: Lost in New York

When the camera is moving towards Marv like the bag of cement would, the falling rope is not visible in front of Marv like in the previous shot.

When Kevin buys then breaks apart the beads, it is clear in the close-up that an older pair of hands are doing the breaking.

When Kevin lights the rope on fire, he turns to run away and a crew member is visible through the window.

The recording of Uncle Frank singing in the shower is much longer when Kevin plays it back in the Plaza Hotel.

We hear what was sung before and after Kevin started and stopped the recording.

If you turn the closed captions on, they will say "Oh, you're cooking, Frankie" when Frank sings it and "Oh, you're cooking with brandy" when Kevin plays it back while in the hotel.

This has been corrected in the DVD version.

When Harry and Marv run out of the toy store's broken window, near the end of the movie, there are several shots of them where you can see into the store behind them.

In one of these shots, you can see a person's left shoulder move behind a display on the left side of the screen (the person is wearing a heavy green jacket).

A black wire of some sort can be clearly seen connected to the staple that hits Marv's nose.

In the Plaza Hotel, Kevin asks 'Donald Trump' (qv) where the lobby is.

Trump says down to the left, but Kevin goes down to the right, and arrives in the lobby.

The statue gets broken off its base by the second airport van, only to be reattached and unbroken in later scenes.

When Kevin is sitting at LaGuardia Airport he is looking at the Manhattan skyline.

You cannot see that view of the city from that airport.

In the long shot of Kevin riding in the taxi on the Queensboro Bridge he is wearing gloves, but in the close-up, he is not.

When Uncle Frank was in the shower singing, Kevin didn't start recording the song until Uncle Frank was halfway through.

When Kevin played the song in the hotel bathroom, the whole song right from the beginning was on the cassette.

When Kevin is on the bed in the hotel room, you see the butler scooping ice cream into the banana split boat, then the butler asks Kevin, "How many scoops would you like, sir?" and the banana split boat is empty and the butler starts to fill it up.

When Kevin is recording Uncle Frank singing in the bathroom, he runs out and closes the door before Frank says, "Oh, you're cooking, Frankie.

" Later when Kevin is playing the same recording in the hotel bathroom, we still hear Frank saying this, when it should have been cut out.

When Harry and Marv are at the skating rink, Marv puts on the earmuffs, and his hair is pulled back under them.

In the next shot, his hair is all muffled up again.

Kevin is seen buying fireworks in Chinatown when he first arrives in New York City.

It is illegal to buy or sell fireworks in the state of New York, but when this movie was made, that law was not enforced in Chinatown and it was easy to find vendors there selling fireworks illegally while the police looked the other way.

At the top of the stairs, the tool chest wheels (2 fixed and 2 rotating) are all facing sideways.

Before it falls, all the wheels including the fixed wheels are facing forward.

When Kevin goes swimming at the Plaza, it is a different hotel.

The Plaza doesn't have a pool.

When Harry crashes down on top of the car, his hands are laid out above his head, but in the next shot of him, they are down at his sides.

When Kevin wants to go home he quickly grabs a few cookies from the cabinet to take with him.

Then he throws them onto the bed close together, then in the next shot they are spaced out.

When Kevin throws four bricks at Marv, they are shown landing on the sidewalk.

Later when Marv gets up, three of them are in the street.

When Kevin is sawing a ladder, he is sawing it from front to back.

Later when Harry climbs the ladder, the sawed portion (back side of ladder) shows it was cut from side to side.

When Kevin hits Buzz in the Christmas pageant scene, he starts out with a closed fist in the first shot, but then makes contact with an open hand in the second.

There actually are Christmas trees in south Florida.

The Norfolk Island pine is a tropical pine that is originally from Norfolk Island, east of Australia.

It grows pretty much all over south Florida and has even been seen growing as far north as Tampa and even near Orlando, though it does much better farther south, especially from the latitude of the north shores of Lake Okechobee southward.

Fully grown, it has a slightly narrower than normal pyramid shape with nearly fern like branches that grow in an evenly tiered pattern, and generally makes a very nice Christmas tree.

Farther north, it is usually grown indoors as a potted plant.

Usually, outside the tropics, you will see this pine grown in most offices, especially next to a south-facing window.

However, Kevin, having never been to Florida, probably didn't know this and assumed there were no Christmas trees there.

In the scene where Marv and Harry are hastily climbing down the rope to catch Kevin, and Kevin then sets it on fire to buy him some time, prior to when they let go in the long shot, the rope is clearly not attached to the building.

At the airport, the exterior shot of the plane flown to New York is shown as a Boeing 767-200, which, unlike the 400 series 767, lacks a middle door.

When Kevin enters the plane, it is clearly a Boeing 757, evidenced by its single aisle and the door between first class and coach through which he entered, which even then magically becomes an Airbus A300 cabin with the different overhead bin designs that did not exist on Boeing aircraft at the time.

American has also never flown 767s or A300s between Chicago and LaGuardia.

When the tool chest pushes the door Marv and Harry have their ears pressed against, the long shot clearly reveals that they are standing on a skateboard as they are pushed backwards.

In the scene where Kevin is watching the movie in the hotel room, there is a man making him an ice cream sundae.

We see the sundae first completed with 3 scoops of ice cream and then the scene goes to another angle to Kevin on the bed.

The attendant asks him how many scoops, and there is only one in the dish.

When Kevin arrives at LaGuardia airport he arrives at gate G6.

There is no G wing at LaGuardia Airport, plus the lettering style is the same as it was at O'Hare, indicating that it was in fact filmed at O'Hare.

At the airport, there are Navy sailors in dress white uniforms.

The proper dress for winter time is dress blues.

In the original "Home Alone", Kevin's cousin counts heads and there are 15 people between the 2 families.

In "Home Alone 2" there are only 14 boarding passes between the 2 families.

However, in the first movie the McCallisters travel to Paris to drop off Heather, with her parents.

Therefore in the second film it is implied that Heather is in Paris during the events that take place in this film.

When Kevin is recording the Plaza Hotel commercial with his TalkBoy and it says the toll free number, Peter walks in and asks about the battery for the camcorder, overlapping it, yet when Kevin plays it back at the hotel, Peter's voice is not included on it.

The bag of stolen money changes moves between shots when Marv is getting hit by the bricks.

When Kevin and the bird watcher go to the musical theater in which she lives, a different song was dubbed over the ones the violinists played when the camera shot the orchestra.

You can tell by the bow movements and bow direction changes.

As Marv pulls out the three staplers from his body, he kicks the front door open and falls down the giant hole.

On the stairs where Marv and Harry fooled Kevin into thinking that they got hit by the paints cans, the front door behind them is closed.

When Marv pulls the front door knob and "out comes the knob" with several feet of string attached to it.

He pulls it tightly with his back against the door and we hear the first staple shot.

It's impossible for Marv to do a 180 turn and not hear a second shot because there isn't enough slack for him to turn.

When Kevin takes a picture of the criminals robbing the store, his pictures were clear at the end of the film.

That type of camera has an instant flash, and would have made a blinding reflection off the toy shop window, revealing nothing in the finished picture other then a flash of light with a black background - not a clear picture of the crooks.

When Kevin is trying to lure Harry and Marv into the house, he is seen "crawling" through the garbage chute.

The chute was placed in a vertical position; therefore it would be impossible for Kevin to "crawl up" it.

When Kate gets up to yell at Kevin at the stalled Christmas pageant, she and Peter get up together, but in the next shot Kate is standing alone yelling Kevin's name.

In a long shot of the house the morning the family leaves, there is no bronze statue near the front doorsteps.

But when the vans arrive, the second one hits the bronze statue near the doorsteps, which was not there in the previous shot.

After Cedric collides with Hector and Stone while chasing Kevin, a side-on shot shows him starting to get up, but a moment later he is lying on the floor unconscious.

Makeup is visible before the first brick hits Marv.

At the toy store when Kevin is talking to Mr.

Duncan at the cash register, Duncan asks Kevin about all the money in his envelope.

As Kevin is taking money out of the envelope to pay for his things, he places the envelope on the counter.

When the camera switches back to the counter, the only things on there are the map and Swiss army knife.

When Kevin wanted to make a donation to the toy chest, the money envelope was back in his hand.

In between, however, there is a close-up of Mr.

Duncan handling the money to put in the cash register.

It is impossible for Kevin to take back the envelope of money off the counter.

Kevin chases who he thinks is his dad through the airport and eventually bumps into the lady at the gate and drops his plane ticket which is lost amongst the ones the lady dropped.

Later in the film when he leaves the hotel and bumps into Marv and Harry (the criminals) they find Kevin's ticket on the inside of his coat; this is not possible seeing as he lost it earlier in the film.

As Kevin approaches the bathroom where Uncle Frank is taking a shower, the bathroom door is open a few inches, but immediately after that, the reverse shot from inside the bathroom shows the door shut until Kevin opens it.

Immediately following the scene with the pigeon lady in the concert hall attic, Kevin walks toward the railing and a boom mic is visible as a reflection in the window to the left of the screen.

When running through the airport, a Marine in uniform walks by in the background.

The Marine is in service alphas with enlisted rank on his sleeve, his cover has a quatrefoil on it, a uniform piece worn only by officers.

At Central Park where the pigeons are feeding on Marv and Harry, Kevin lights fireworks that do not scare the birds away.

However, when the police come, they fire one shot in the air which scares all the birds away.

Well Here we go again...Well our favorite family is once again on a vacation this time to sunny Florida.

I lost the count how many times I have seen these both parts and it always gives feel good factor.

The whole gang returns for this sequel. Kevin is at odds with his family once again come Christmas time, and makes the same mistake he did in the first movie.

Kevin McCallister gets separated from his family once again at Christmas.This sequel copies the exact formula that made the original successful and applies it to a different location.

Just as great as the first movie. Warm, funny, holidays yada yada...

Child star Macaulay Culkin himself often joked about Home Alone 2, and rightfully so. This movie is a copy and past of the original, with the only change being the location.

"Merry Christmas and a happy new year!"I remember watching this film over and over in Christmas with my brother, and my mother rolling her eyes saying "You're watching this again?

Don't get me wrong the first is a classic and it's good but I like this sequel better because I like how he's lost in New york and staying on his own in a hotel. Surely people would think Marv was trying to break into Kevin's hotel but it gets better and I think if you like the first movie you'll love this!

I believe ya but my Tommy Gun don't! How can you not love this movie.
