- The scene where Harry and Marv hang Kevin on the door hook hanger, and Harry bites Kevin's finger. Joe Pesci (Harry) actually did bite Macaulay Culkin's (Kevin) finger for real, and Macaulay still has the bite scar on his finger to this day.
- The shot where Kevin screams as the van nearly hits him was actually shot in reverse.
- The black-and-white gangster movie "Angels with Filthy Souls" that Kevin watches was actually not a real movie. It was made specifically for Home Alone. However, it is a reference to the 1938 film "Angels with Dirty Faces".
- Buzz's girlfriend was actually a BOY dressed up as a girl, since they didn't want to make fun of a girl. The boy is the art director's son!
- Joe Pesci was working on "Goodfellas" at the time. Because this was a kid's movie he was working on, he wasn't allowed to swear and instead, he was only allowed to yell in gibberish. He even had a swear jar with him on set.
- They originally wanted to put a mechanical tarantula on Daniel Stern's (Marv) face, but 1990s technology didn't have the money to make a convincing one. So they decided to put a real one on Daniel Stern's face, but he wasn't allowed to scream with the spider on his face (Otherwise the spider would've got scared and stung Daniel in the face), so Daniel mimed his scream and his real scream was added in post-production. Also, in most of the scenes with the booby traps, Daniel Stern was wearing rubber feet to keep his feet warm while walking
in the snow. The ornaments he steps on while climbing in through the window are made of sugar glass. The nail that Daniel steps on on the tar-covered stairs is made of rubber.
- No, Joe Pesci (Harry) did not get his head blown by a blowtorch. Since there was no CGI, the crew used a very interesting technique that was used for a long time in theatres, amusement parks, etc. They used what's called the "Pepper's ghost" illusion, where they set a mannequins head ablaze, and then they use mirrors to superimpose the image onto Harry's head. ;)
- Fuller, Kevin's cousin, is Macaulay Culkin's real-life younger brother, Kieran Culkin.
Which fact did you enjoy?
I can't believe you've guys never seen Home Alone. It's one of my 6 ALL-TIME favorite Christmas movies. That movie is inside my heart! Good reaction, by the way. 🤩😍😚🤗☺👍👍👍
my fav fact is that Wally from Scott Pilgrim is Macaulays younger brother.
Daniel Stern has confirmed that the scream was actually real! www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/3y4d8l/im_daniel_stern_you_might_know_me_as_marv_from/cyaehjg/
Goddamn
@@eriesara6424 Yeah, i know where you're going. Chris Columbus claimed in the commentary that Daniel Stern was able to mime the scream for his own safety. But still, it depends on who you ask. ;)
@@jonathansmith8672 Go to the 12:55 mark of the video: ruclips.net/video/k5AnqUwYqrQ/видео.html this is the official behind the scenes video that is on the dvd and blu-ray releases.
You should definitely watch Home Alone 2. And maybe the third one (it’s not as good, but it’s still the last enjoyable one)
I actually love the third one more than the second one 🤷🏾♂️
@@RiceBROS90 How dare you
@@StopReadingMyNameOrElse I know it’s an unpopular opinion but I genuinely do. That’s not to say that I don’t like Lost in New York because I do, but I just enjoy watching the third one more
There are 5 home alone movies
@@brendanmcguinness2213 only the first three exist in my mind
Fun fact: the kid who plays fuller is Macauley culkins real life brother
And he stars in Succession on HBO!
From Scott Pilgrim!
Kieran Kyle Culkin
Oh shit I recognised the actor from other movies, but I never knew those two were related
He was in Signs too, right?
“When I grow up and get married I’m living alone...”
Makes perfect sense to a kid.
Good luck pulling that off.
@@timroebuck3458 Seriously?
lol, King Henry II had Eleanor of Aquitaine imprisoned for 16 years while he was still married to her.
Historically, royalty usually had separate rooms. When the king wanted to get freaky with the queen, he'd visit her bedchamber. Queens often had separate castles, estates or halls that they'd visit for weeks or months at a time. So, while they were married and were surrounded by entourages, kings and queens often lived alone in the sense that they wouldn't always see each other.
In this economy? Good luck, lil man.🤷🏾
The first and second ones are the best in my opinion.
They're the only good ones
@@eleven-hopper 3s pretty good I reckon
Facts
Same here. But I'm sure the first two are the best ones in everyone's opinions 😅
yep,, and this is one of the few cases where i actually prefer the second one (maybe cause new york in christmas just looks so beautiful to me)
Harry’s actually pretty smart at first, by pretending to be a cop he’s able to case every house without worrying about being caught. The only stupid thing he did was let his greed and anger get the best of him and try to rob the McCallisters’ while Kevin was still there
The dumb thing he did was teaming with Marv 😂
This movie is classic, I would recommend to watch the sequel home alone 2 lost in New York
bro I 2nd that lol dont wait till next year bro lol
There’s a very...interesting cameo in that one
@@doubledthread56 true
Why are EVERYBODY reacting to this???? As if people have not seen this movie for 30 years every christmas on TV-... wtf.
@@tanelviil9149 oh hey another copy paste reply from you, nice. Might have to start deleting these if I find any more.
I know you've said that you didn't watch many movies as a kid but this is just...
WOW😔
Ikr like how did you just now watch this....
Yeah I was like nah man
What did he even do in his free time?
@@user-xx6vy9ri8p maybe he had no free time maybe that’s why he hasn’t watched many
Ikr there is no avoiding this movie
A few facts for the film:
John Candy completely improvised the story of leaving the kid in the funeral parlor,
The nail was rubber,
The ornaments were sugar,
The house is a few miles down the road from the one used for the film Planes, Trains, and Automobiles.
If you slow down the film when Old Man Marley hits Marv you will see it is actually a young man stand in to do it properly,
The studio was going to just use the original recording by Mel Tormé singing “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas”, but he asked if he could come in a re-record it and he did,
There’s also an urban legend that a still alive Elvis is standing next to John Candy at the airport
@@tconlon251 That was talked about in the audio commentary and is not him, but an actor that is now dead.
Also, here's two more facts:
When Marv is barefoot he is wearing rubber shoes that look like his feet.
The movie Kevin watches, "Angels With Filthy Souls", is not a real movie and was specifically created for Home Alone. They even used old film equipment to add to the effect.
@@svgamer7160 I knew the second fact, but not the first.
holy crap you're right about young man Marley 20:56
Fun fact: the picture of Bud’s girlfriend was actually a boy in makeup because the director wasn’t comfortable making fun of a little girl.
Oh really!? thats a nice fun fact :) aw
Was the directors son I believe
Did anyone else who grew up before Jim Carry when he asks if she prefers the original Grinch or the animated one think “ummmm the original WAS animated and there are three of them”? 🤔 🎄
As a kid my favorite scene was the traps but nowadays, as a grown up, it is the church scene with the old man, as well.
1:39 This film was by Chris Colombus, he directed the first two Harry Potter movies if you feel some sort of familiarities from this film.
Here's the insane thing about all those death trap stunts toward the end: the stunt guys did literally everything you see with only minimal padding. This movie didn't have a blockbuster budget for wires and complex setups, and blue and green screens were still years away from being commonplace, so they just went for it.
the scene with marv screaming when the spider’s on his face was actually filmed with the actor “silently screaming” if he had screamed like he did in the movie, it would’ve scared the spider and it would’ve bit him so they filmed it like that and added the screams afterwards.
Finally a fun fact I haven't heard before
and the scene where they nearly run into him in the van was filmed in reverse
So interesting
Fun fact: John Williams, who wrote the score for this movie, is the same guy who wrote the music for Star Wars.
And Harry Potter! In fact you can hear a sample of the famous Harry Potter theme during one of the scenes in the film
I love Williams' score as Kevin races from the church to prepare his home against the burglars. In fact, my favorite part of Home Alone is from the moment he enters the church to the dinging of the microwave oven after he boobytrapped his house. Robert Blossoms acting as the neighbor brought out the true heart of the movie. Funny how the director worried if audiences would sit through that scene because it's so different in pace and tone and it winds up being many people's favorite scene.
I know
John Williams is my absolute favorite. He scored pretty much all the major movies of my childhood (Hook, Jurassic Park, ET, Superman). Hook and Star Wars (the entire 9 movie saga) are my favorites though, followed closely by the work he did for Harry Potter.
Fun fact: The scene where Kevin is watching the old mob film isn't an actual movie but are scenes that were filmed in that present time for Home Alone.
There was an interview where Culkin (Kevin) said that he believed the "filthy animal" movie was a real film until Chris Columbus revealed it wasn't 20 years later (I think) lol
they got a second director and a second cast off set to film it.
It shows up in Detective Pikachu too which I thought was hilarious when I recognized it.
You know when Mrs. McAllister said, "What kind of mother am I?," she pretty much just answered her own question right there. Because a good mother shouldn't have to question her caring abilities for her children.
No matter how messed up this year has been, Christmas has felt the same, and which is awesome! For some reason, Christmas makes me, at LEAST, feel a bit better
Home Alone 2 is just as good imo. The first 2 are legit God tier Christmas movies. They are an every year tradition for me.
Joe Pesci wasn't allowed to swear during this movie so he came up with an alternative by yelling gibberish incomprehensibly
The entire movie in a nutshell basically: Eh, he’ll be FIINE
"Rose! Hyper on 2!"
3:34 that’s because they are related. Kevin is played by Macaulay Culkin and Fuller is played by Kieran Culkin, so Kieran is actually Macaulay’s younger brother.
The most impressive thing, to me, isn't the fact he survived and stopped the burglars, it's how he cleaned up that mess in that short of a time period. Especially the tar on the basement stairsXD Next year do National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation if you haven't already. A Christmas staple if there ever was one. As for Home Alone, stop at 2. It's even better than this one, IMHO.
I watched this movie at least a million times how have you not watched it-
Glad you guys enjoyed it! Highly *highly* reccomend you watch Home Alone 2 sometime, either soon or next year
Your total engrossment by that spider was a riot! Every time it came on the screen it was pure comedy reaction.
Home Alone 3 and 4 I don’t recommend watching since the original actor for Kevin wasn’t in either, but Home Alone 2 I definitely recommend for next year, just as good as the 1st
I disagree for 3, but 4 yeah.
The third one is ok, but the fourth one is bogus.
This movie is amazing and classic. This movie will forever be my favorite because Kevin being alone plus the bad guys trying to rob the house
When ur gf said that kids looks like a mini him it's because they are actually brothers in real life
And a few Harry Potter films
Yes Kieran Culkin
Younger viewers may not know this, but this movie turned Macaulay Culkin into literally the biggest star in the world at the time (He was everywhere, not just Michael Jackson´s music video "Black & White"). If you guys would like to know about other movies he was in, watch "My Girl" 1991. It is cute and very ... Well, you´ll see and you have been warned! :) Merry Christmas!
Just so you know, the animated How the Grinch Stole Christmas WAS the original one. The Jim Carrey remake was the remake.
I think he’s talking about the new animated one with Benedict Cumberbatch
I know
lol yeah i kept getting confused when he'd say the original one or the new animated one.
I scrolled through all the comments looking for someone to say this.
Kevin and Buzz have a nice moment.
few minutes later
"Kevin! What did you do to my room!"
that feels like me and my brothers life in a nut shell.
the sequel has an even better ending like that.
There’s a popular fan theory on the internet that Kevin grew up and became Jigsaw from the Saw franchise, given how good he was at setting up deadly traps by age 8.
I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas!!!!
Back then, early 90's going thru airport security was a breeze. 5 minutes tops. I once got to the airport with 15 minutes to take off time. Security was 3 minutes and they helped me get through. I got on the plane with 5 minutes to spare. Today that's impossible. Thanks Bin Laden.
Nah, Bin Laden was a fall guy. Thanks Israel*: www.bitchute.com/video/7hpdYjh4xTsZ/
It all changed after 9/11.
In 2020 airport security is again a breez
I'm 33 years old. And I agree.
You mean thanks America
Fun fact the kid that plays fuller is his little brother
Another fun fact, that black and white film Kevin was watching isn’t a real movie they filmed that scene just for this movie and part 2
The ONE time having a spider in your house was actually a good thing man.
I was pretty much Kevin's age when this came out and I remember in the previews they did show a few of the hijinks and Kevin's iconic scream. This was the movie that did make me look forward to the day I would be old enough to be alone in the house lol. I got that when I turned 13 haha.
I always cry at end everytime the man gets his family back
Fun Fact: The Actor that plays Fuller (Kieran Culkin) is Macaulay Culkin's brother in real life.
Before I watch, how many times is he going to say "Bro, that's death!"
I'm guessing at least 4.
For over 30 years Home Alone 1 & 2 have been a must watch for me on Christmas... every year...
Fun fact. The pizza delivery kid got paid more money for his roll than John candy got paid for his. John candy took the part as a favour in order to boost its promotion because they predicted the movie would be a failure.
Im always watching Home Alone when December
Just watch 2. You don't need the rest.
Also you don't get white Christmas'? Here in Canada it's rare not too. I like snow on Christmas but every once in a while it would be nice to not deal with snow.
Dude, it was raining and 6 degrees in Montreal for xmas lol. It's pretty rare to have white xmas nowadays but we get a snowy day on fricking may! Maybe it's different in other places. 10 years ago, I agree, we had snow most of december but not anymore. :(
miel the squid ya. The prairies are always snowy but in Ontario a green Christmas happens every once in a while
Wow, if Grinch, Elf and Home Alone are the only Christmas movies you’ve seen, you’re missing out. It’s still the holiday season, I rec BAD SANTA and DIE HARD. Bad Santa is very funny, a little raunchy but with A LOT of heart. Die Hard is a Christmas classic. Its rewatch-ability rating is off-the-charts. Happy New Year, man. May 2021 be everyone’s “most improved” year. 🎉🙂
Watched this with my dad for Christmas it was his first time and we couldn’t stop laughing when the burglars got fcked up 😂
Just in the mood for a itsaprimate vid
8:21 "They go so many kids, I can't blame them."
Seriously?! They chose to get every single one of those kids. If someone has more kids than they are able to keep count on, then they're bad parents.
Very irresponsible.
i hope yall and your families had a beautiful day : )
That spider is super happy, it hasn’t gotten this much exercise in years 😏
Cool theory. John Candy is the devil giving a ride to Kevin's mom for her soul.
Home alone 2 was also very good and has some iconic scenes in it. Ive never watched any of the other ones
As a kid I watched this movie over and over again all year 😄
The Original "grinch" is actually the animation (1966) featuring the voice talents of the late great Boris Karloff.
A guy I went to church with did the special effects for this movie (and a lot of movies in the 80s/early 90s). He also had a small part as the cop who chases Kevin across the ice after he took the tooth brush. He actually shattered his knee cap falling on the ice, but couldn't leave the set to go to the hospital...and he walked with a limp after that. I actually got to hold the handle bars that were used when Kevin ziplines from the house to the tree house. RIP Bill Purcell...died of a massive heart attack just a few years later.
DUDE, MERRY CHRISTMAS!! This is a fun Comedy film! It's a Christmas classic!!
This and the sequel are THE top 2 Christmas films ever
When you said you wouldn't get tired of watching this movie I smiled because I've been watching it over and over (and part 2) for more than 25 years and still don't get tired of it
Same. I'm 34 and as far back as I can remember I remember watching Home Alone and Home Alone 2 multiple times a year (sometimes not even during Christmas season). They are just feel good movies that carry a lot of nostalgia for me. It's rare sometimes to find a movie you enjoyed as a kid and still love as an adult. Like when I was kid I didn't really understand about the neighbor and him being estranged from his son, but now as an adult I get it. And I also get to see my nieces and nephews discover this movie and now they will say lines from it too.
The animated "How the Grinch Stole Christmas!" is actually from 1966. All of the animated Dr. Seuss stories are from before we were born (such as "The Cat in the Hat"). They used to show the Grinch on TV at Christmas every year. Very few studios use traditional 2D anymore. I did just see a very good one recently from Netflix called "Klaus." It's definitely worth a watch.
I love this movie it’s just a fun Christmas movie and such a classic,
A popular theory is that Kevin grew up to become Jigsaw from the Saw franchise. After a name change.
nothing beats Jim Carrey’s grinch for ME! lol and the kid that pees the bed so much is actually his little brother in real life!! he was also in scott pilgrim as wallace
Another movie featuring John Candy is Cool Runnings. It's a pretty good film that I think you might enjoy!
definitely
Merry Christmas Primate
That part where the robber bit Kevin was real. Now he has a scar on his finger
I love this movie so much, and being from Chicago, love that the "Home Alone" house is still standing here. The outside shots were filmed here in the Chicago suburbs and the airport is O'Hare airport. I also know and have been to the church in Oak Park where the outside and inside scenes were shot. My high school choir sang there a few times as well back in the day. Brings back so many memories.
The second one is a must. You can skip the third one! This is the one time when a sequel is actually as good as the first movie.
If you haven’t seen it I recommend another great Pesci movie: Goodfellas or Casino.
And My Cousin Vinny
Or Lethal Weapon?
@@edmontonboy99 honestly every movie he’s in is gold
17:35 just a fun little fact: Joe Pesci had dialogue here. He was supposed to say actual lines but had to make up random gibberish because he would curse every time he did the dialogue.
Watch Home Alone 2 and Bad Santa aswell ... Bad Santa is actually one of my fave christmas movies since it’s not your typical christmas movie 👻
Please react to The Prince of Egypt
Yes
Loved that you reacted to this! Home Alone 2 is also ready good! Home Alone 3 is enjoyable. The rest are not good.
There's 10 kids. Kevin has 2 sisters and 2 brothers. The other 5 are his cousins. The cousins, aunt and uncle are just visiting to go on holiday together.
The mother is played by Catherine O'Hara who you may recognize her as the voice of Sally in 'The Nightmare Before Christmas'
Here in Canada 🇨🇦 it snows alot, you to enjoy alot of things like skating, skiing, snowboarding and hot chocolate and beavertails and maple taffy done on ice and put on a stick
I would say home alone 2 is my favorite after that they suck
Pleased to see that you both enjoyed it for it's Christmas feel and funny moments with the inept thieves. The 2nd one is roughly the same really, the 3rd one goes downhill a bit, but the 4th and final one takes a real turn character-wise! Caulkin was considered too old by then, but he went on to do the Richie Rich film after them.
For a film funny-wise to react to at just about any time of the year - you both really need to watch "A Baby's Day Out" . . . It's a rib-acher! This time with very inept kidnappers though . . . No matter how many times I've watched it, it knackers me up completely! Hilarious laughter, finding breathing hard as your laughter takes over, and then at the end you need to rest just because your ribs are always aching from it . . . Enjoy . . .
The First and Second home alone are the two really good ones.
Home Alone 1 and 2, Elf, and Christmas Vacation are must watch for me every Christmas.
Great video as always, one of my favorite Movies, I've watched so many times since I was a kid! Glad you both enjoyed it. Old Man Marley is definitely one of the best parts of this movie, I love when he reunites with his family. Merry Christmas to you guys!
Merry Christmas ya filthy animals!!!!
And a Happy New Year.
You guys have to see Home Alone 2 I know you'll love it! And we can all just act like any movies after that don't exist.....
The McCallister house is two different locations. The exterior is a real house, the interior is a set built in a high school gym. The flooded basement set was built in the school's swimming pool. The same gym also hosted the interior of the Bueller home in Ferris Bueller's Day Off. The production spent over $100,000 on fake snow, only to have it all covered with real snow.
Best reaction channel on RUclips FULL STOP. NO questions asked.
Yes, there are just two real Home Alone movies, the others just took the title to sell, but they're not about this family anymore. Nothing to do with this. I have never considered them part of Home Alone movies. You should definitely watch the second one too, it's the same formula and same family, same actors, it's about the next Christmas after this one. Personally, I think the second one is better, but they are both great, funny and there is also a character like the old neighbour too, you would like it.
Also, the director and of the two Home Alone movies directed also the first two Harry Potter movies and both Home Alone and Harry Potter movies were also scored by John Williams.
Home Alone Is The Classic Movie
@18:26 you broke out into quite a nice "Oh My Godddddddd.....Wow!" song XD
Merry Christmas even though I didn’t do anything this year sadly but I will still be sharing the Christmas spirit :D
When you were talking about the spider sounding like a grown ass man stomping on the ground, I lost my shit XD You're too funny!! Deffo watch the 2nd one but the rest you can forget about
fun fact old man marly wasn't in the original script they wanted to add a sub story to make the overall story better. ironically enough him reuiniting with his family is the best part of the whole movie for me
my man saving up all his movie viewing 4 youtube videos, legend.
I highly recommend the version of Scrooge from 1951. It's so beautifully done and I cry like a baby every single time I watch it. Great Christmas classic.
Stop the 🧢
🤷♂️
19:45 Daniel Stern did accept to get the spider on his face, but only ONCE. He mimic the scream to not scare it. Then scream been added in post synch.
The first 2 are classics. But anything after that is just extras.
While there are 5 "Home Alone"s, there's really only 2. The other ones are not worth talking about.
Joe Pesci aka Harry one of the most great actors in Hollywood, although he did retire but a year ago he came back to acting 1 last time call the Irishman. Joe Pesci Home Alone, Goodfellas, Casino, and The Irishman such a good actor he is
Poor old man is probably thinking, "What the hell is wrong with that kid?"
As much as I'm shocked you guys have never seen these movies, it's great to see someone new enjoying them after all these years. 🥰
I would definitely recommend Home Alone 2, it's similar to the first but on a grander scale, it also has a great feel to it. 🎄
All the John Hughes films are worth a watch, he was great at comedy's that delivered a heart warming message. Top films would be Uncle Buck, The Breakfast Club, Ferris Bueller's Day Off...
