Ok there are two constant issues I’m seeing in the comment section so I'll address it here rather than spending Christmas replying to each individual comment. 1. Daniel Sterns scream A lot of comments are saying I’m wrong and the scream was put in post, but I’m just going by Daniel Stern’s own mouth where he says he was told to scream as the spider wouldn’t be able to hear him where he gave off a scream like “Psycho” but hey don’t take my word for it, it’s on RUclips, in a documentary called The Making of Home Alone. Here is the link: ruclips.net/video/k5AnqUwYqrQ/видео.html skip to 13:24 of that video to hear Stern talk about the scream he did then hopefully that’ll put some of the commenters at ease. 2. Oh you obviously watched The Movies that made us Yes I did use ‘The Movies that made us’ as a resource as I did with other documentaries and articles and websites for this episode, how else am I meant to do research?? I even mentioned ‘the Movies that made us’ at the end and said it was a great help to making this video and recommended it to Home Alone fans. I think some people seem to think it’s a bad thing that I saw it to do some research but then if the fans don’t agree with you get accused of doing no research. Point is you just can’t win in the harsh realm of the comment section. I hope this has cleared some issues up, take care peoples and Merry Christmas. I hope all your wishes and dreams come true and you get cool pressies.
Minty Comedic Arts Didn't you know that watching a RUclips video automatically makes everyone an expert on whatever subject the video's about? It's like being a sports fan makes you qualified to be a professional coach. 😉
As a kid I always thought that Kevin was a bad kid. Now as an adult I realize that his family was super dysfunctional, he was constantly being gaslight and he was the family black sheep.
Both Home Alone 1 and 2 along with A Christmas Story are my three favorite Christmas films. I absolutely can't get enough of these films that I watch to lift my spirits up during the Christmas season.
Do you know same thing about galya peeva she was feeling falls like I want Hippompus for Christmas song same place looks like Christmas music made in new show episode season start show releases Ed Sullivan TV show
It was good seeing John Candy and Catherine O'Hara together in the scenes they were in. For those not familiar, they had previously worked together in the late 70s and early 80s on the Canadian sketch comedy show "SCTV". That show also produced talents like Joe Flaherty, Eugene Levy, Andrea Martin, Rick Moranis, Dave Thomas, Harold Ramis, and Martin Short.
"Did you know that the McAllister's are going to France? Do you know if it's cold there? Do these vans get good gas mileage? How fast does this thing go? Does it have automatic transmission? Does it have four wheel drive?"
I heard somewhere that the scream during the tarantula scene was later dubbed in because screaming would have freaked the spider out and caused it to bite, so he pretended to scream and then recorded the real scream in the studio, in which they later put in the scene.
I heard they're remaking Home Alone, there's no need to the original is just as magical today as it ever was. Also people have cell phones today it wouldn't work.
One of the coolest details about this movie is that almost every song John Williams wrote for this movie became a holiday classic and can now be found on Christmas Pandora stations. Imagine being so good that you can write more than one Christmas classic in one movie. Unbelievable.
@M. S. I'm guessing you're referring to the scene at church? "O Holy Night" was written in 1847. So Williams might've directed the arrangement, but as I originally stated he did not write any songs
Yeah, if I had a brother, he would never talk to my kids like that. I would've dragged him outside and berated him. then I would've made him give an apology to the kid.
These two movies HOME ALONE 1 & 2 and CHRISTMAS VACATION along with some of the OLD Classics are ABSOLUTE STAPLES at our home during the holiday season.
I live alone, and don't have a room. There is a guest room that I sleep in sometimes, but since I can sleep wherever I want, I just do. I have 7 or 8 rooms to sleep in, and no bedroom. Kevin gets it, and his house is a lot bigger than mine.
A few years ago I wrote a Home Alone 3. It’s set in 2018 and Kevin is house sitting for his parents at Christmas. The wet bandits are released from prison and come for Kevin. Only for the house to be targeted by another gang. Kevin, Harry and Marv actually team up to repel the other thrives. Oh and at one point Kevin watches ‘Angels with the filthiest souls’ starring Johnny’s son. Kevin quips “the third one is always the worst”
@@charliecoccia8875WB was banking on Gremlins 2 to be their big Money Maker for 1990 at the Box Office. Home Alone was seen two low budgeted for them and they also thought it would soundly lose to Rocky 5 and Rescuers Down Under at the Box Office. Imagine their complete DISBELIEF and AWE when it turned out it was the Exact OPPOSITE.
“Keep the change, ya filthy animal!” The tradition of John Hughes films being shot in school gymnasiums actually stems back to the film shoot for The Breakfast Club, whose jaw-dropping library setting for 85% of the story was assembled in a different school building in the Chicagoland area. Sort of like a distant genetic tie. I was slightly disappointed that this nugget of info wasn’t included here.
I was thinking the same thing. Someone's got to make this into a real film, featuring this exact scene. If I were going to make it, I'd make it a time travel film, where the hero goes back to the 1940s from the present day, just to give it a sense of relevance and innovation.
My son was born in 1990 and discovered this film at a very young age. We both know the lines off by heart as at one stage he watched it so many times a day it drove me mad but it is a great film. Thank you for doing this, brought back some great memories of my boy when he was younger and so sweet.
Thank you Minty!!! Wow, I never would've guessed that Buzz's girlfriend was a guy!! Lol! I always thought the pic was of an actual girl! Also, lol, no wonder I've never been able to find Angels with Filthy Souls, since I started binging on classic golden era films! Cause it doesn't exist, lol. It definitely fooled me, as I always thought it was footage from an actual 1930s/1940s style gangster flick!
I still want to know what the Mccallister's did for a living to live in a big house with all those kids and afford to pay for the whole family to vacation in Paris 🤔😂
It's said in the movie that McCallister's brother paid for the trip, plus the brother owned the house in Home Alone 2 that was being renovated while he was gone.
@@oldenweery7510 in home alone 2 the uncle clearly tells kevin 'you better not mess this up, your dad/father paid good money for this'. thats the 2nd movie, but the dad clearly has money if hes paying for that.
@Camaro 1968 that's funny how you assume my real life off a joke about a fictional story.... Happy New Year to you and yours, I pray that it's prosperous and beyond what you could ever imagine ❤✌🏾
Any time I need a good laugh, I always watch home alone. The wet bandits scenes where they get mauled by Kevin, always makes me laugh, no matter how many times I see it! 😂
I think it's a real shame John Hughes cut the scene which the family in Paris are sleepless and are worried about Kevin except for Buzz. It should had been kept in the movie and it shows that the family all feel really bad about the way they all treated Kevin and it also shows that Buzz really doesn't give a shit about Kevin.
When they all got back home, even Buzz seemed glad that Kevin was okay. But by the time of HA 2, before they got separated at Chicago Airport, the family seemed to be the way they were in the first part before they left for Paris.
Peter and Frank's brother Rob and sister-in-law Georgette live in Paris, their daughter Heather was the one counting the kids in front of the vans. This is my FAVORITE Christmas movie ever, and I watch twenty-four hours of A Christmas Story every year since TNT and TBS started doing that! I like the conversation Kate and John Candy have when he says he left his kid at a funeral parlor, when he says "But he's okay, y'know, six or seven weeks he came around, started talking again" really cracks my mom up:) I like bits of the sequel but I wish they had made Tim Curry the one Kevin bonded with and that he had told the hotel workers what happened so they have no choice but to keep him at the Plaza and give him everything he wants because the cops tell them to until Peter and Kate get there as well as because the McCallisters are rich:)
The boy who played Kevin's cousin Fuller is Macaulay Culkin's brother Kieran. Macaulay Culkin drew the map that his character uses to set up the traps. Macaulay Culkin's stunt double was a very short 30-year-old man. Director Chris Columbus' biggest fear as a kid was burglars. It's part of why he wanted to make this movie At the end of the movie where it snows outside Kevin's house, the snow was actually mashed potato flakes. Little Nero's Pizza is a parody of Little Caesar's Pizza. Caesar and Nero are famous names in Roman history. The ornaments on which Marv steps were actually candy.
It was Kevin’s father’s brother and his family who was living in Paris with his wife they paid for the trip for them all to go. He’s also the one who owns the empty apartment in New York in the second one.
MICHELLE 77va No. different brother. Kevins dad mentions this brother in the beginning but he is never seen. He is in Paris and that’s why they’re flying there to see him. But his character is never shown. And in the second movie, he is still in Paris but he owns the apartment building in New York and he’s having it renovated while they’re away.
There is a really good deleted scene with Harry and Marv singing their own version of "Santa Claus is coming to town" about themselves. I also watch these old movies with great sadness when I think of John Candy. He was such a talented and under rated actor. When I watch Planes, Trains, and Automobiles I never even think of Del as John Candy because he's so deep in the role.
@@paulcanning4702 I don't think people appreciated what a good actor he could be, and think of him only as a comedic performer. His performance as Del Griffith is so good I don't even think about it as being John Candy. And I also loved his cameo that he did in JFK. I really feel that we lost him before we saw his full potential.
I always wanted to see Kevin's wet/sticky bandit "traps" tested on Mythbusters; to see which are merely painful, and perhaps which could actually be deadly in real life. Break out the human analogs and the CT scanner and see what happens when a human skull meets a matched velocity paint can, or bricks thrown downward (repeatedly) from 60 ft., or a blow torch for the same number of seconds. How does a body hold up when it falls from a duplicated number of feet on to it's back, or mashed by 300 lbs. of tools against a wall. I've seen Home Alone 1 & 2 shown on network TV with some of the traps rather severely edited.
I have always had a fear of glass christmas balls due to a dreadful accident I had as a kid. Not only do they explode, but they go everywhere and I ended up with glass in my feet and a sliver in my eye. Being 7 years old and having your Mother telling you to not shut your eye while on the way to the hospital was tantamount to hell on earth. Now, being a senior citizen and having watched Home Alone since it came out, those fears always come rushing back, but I watch it with my family every year because we love it so much! P.S. the sliver dropped out of my eye on the way to the hospital. Eyesight...a-ok.
I want that too just to watch the poor test dummies get trashed. I remember when both movies were on AMC with Story Notes that said what would happen to people who went through the traps:O The bricks to the skull would cause brain damage and death, the flaming head in the toilet bowl of gasoline explosion causes death, the skeleton-electrocution causes the heart to stop and death...lots and lots of death...let's petition Mythbusters to make a Christmas special just for the double feature!
It is not Mythbusters, but close. Mark Rober and Vsauce teamed up to test the traps, they even did it on a set that looked just like the movie. They each did a video. ruclips.net/video/350Xlkvn0Ko/видео.html ruclips.net/video/5NhijmGTwwo/видео.html
The Elvis guy has been confirmed that it is an actual extra who is used in several other movies and shows and not Elvis. The scream with the spider was added in after the scene. He didn't actually scream while they filmed the spider on his face in order to not scare the spider.
The best christmas movie EVER!!! 10/10!!! Home Alone 2 was also good, but not that good. Let's say 7/10. But anything after that (3,4,5,6?) was bullshit..........
You're wrong Minty the scream was dubbed in because they was worried that it would cause the spider to bite. The actor also said that he is only doing one take and he said that he had to move his mouth to make it look like he was screaming.
I saw a Home Alone documentary recently that claimed Stern didn't scream at all during the tarantula scene so as not to scare the spider. They said the scream was dubbed in later.
Love Home Alone and watch it every year around Christmas. The 2nd one was good too. Bought the soundtrack to Home Alone it is so good! Merry Christmas! 🎄👍😍
Another quick note that I heard somewhere: At times Joe Pesci forgot he was in a family comedy, and would occasionally drop F-bombs. Because of this, he supposedly came up with that muttering thing he did in both this movie and in Home Alone 2 to try to refrain from dropping them as frequently. Also, along with his appearance being a favor to John Hughes, John Candy also improvised almost all of his lines.
Number two with the spider, that scream actually isn't legit. During filming that scene he couldn't make a sound in fear of scaring the tarantula and it reacting and attacking. So they edited the sound of him screaming in later.
Trivia: In the original draft of the screenplay, it was revealed Harry and Marv are working for Uncle Frank and Uncle Frank hired them to rob the house and also to kill Kevin. There was a scene that was filmed and cut which Uncle Frank calls Kevin "Yank" and cruelly humiliates Kevin by pulling Kevin's trousers down.
Home alone was-is and will be one of the greatest christmas special we all going to love,a couple of days back i saw again with my brother the second film! It became a tradition every christmas to see those films like gremlins christmas vacation etc! Really interesting you also mentioned the movies that made us as well,after the toys that made us i want to see those documentaries as well! Nice going once more minty the man thanks for sharing,and merry christmas to all of you out there from lovely greece!
3. It also appears in "Detective Pikachu" where Tim enters his father's apartment. One you didn't mention: John Mulaney was invited to audition as some CDs working on the film sat in on his children's acting class, but his parents decided against it. He's okay with it now, and has become famous on his own.
Im gonna watch you Netflix recomendación, but regardless how good it is it can not match your absolute amazing way to describe and narrate films. You are the best
I have some interesting facts you might enjoy. The Home Alone house, John Hughes asked to use for Uncle Buck and the owner said no. Then he asked for Christmas Vacation and she said no. For Home Alone, her door bell rang and it was John Hughes on his knees begging her to use it for the movie and she finally said yes. My source is the homeowner at the time. My buddy went to New Trier. She gave me two onset photos. One with them spraying potato flakes as snow. Daniel Stern's scream didn't happen, he silently did that to not scare the spider. Your videos are so great!
I can't believe people didn't believe The film Angels with Filthy Souls was made strictly for the movie. The one, two, ten guy was in The Blues Brothers as a dispatch worker and Code of Silence with Chuck Norris
the ending of the film was once brought up in an episode of Seinfeld -- it's really saying something that even someone as bitter & cynical as George could be moved by Old Man Marley reuniting with his family
Ok there are two constant issues I’m seeing in the comment section so I'll address it here rather than spending Christmas replying to each individual comment.
1. Daniel Sterns scream
A lot of comments are saying I’m wrong and the scream was put in post, but I’m just going by Daniel Stern’s own mouth where he says he was told to scream as the spider wouldn’t be able to hear him where he gave off a scream like “Psycho” but hey don’t take my word for it, it’s on RUclips, in a documentary called The Making of Home Alone.

2. Oh you obviously watched The Movies that made us
Yes I did use ‘The Movies that made us’ as a resource as I did with other documentaries and articles and websites for this episode, how else am I meant to do research?? I even mentioned ‘the Movies that made us’ at the end and said it was a great help to making this video and recommended it to Home Alone fans. I think some people seem to think it’s a bad thing that I saw it to do some research but then if the fans don’t agree with you get accused of doing no research. Point is you just can’t win in the harsh realm of the comment section.
I hope this has cleared some issues up, take care peoples and Merry Christmas. I hope all your wishes and dreams come true and you get cool pressies.
Merry Christmas, Minty. Hope you get lots 'o goodies from Santa! All the best to you and your family.

"I wouldn't let you sleep in my room if you were growing on my aSs"
One of the best lines in cinema.
I think "Keep the change you filthy animal!" was one of the best lines in the movie in my opinion.
@@charliecoccia8875 Yep, it brought the house down when I saw this in the cinema back in 1990!
Hahaha
"Did you know that the McAllister's are going to France? Do you know if it's cold there? Do these vans get good gas mileage? How fast does this thing go? Does it have automatic transmission? Does it have four wheel drive?"

"Have fun in France....Bring me back something french"
🤣🤣🤣 I wanted to slap that kid lol
That little bastard is the real reason Kevin was left behind.
Hahaha cheers guys!

Unless the battery died and they needed to buy a new charger.
@@simplyjuannie5128 Yes that could be a good premise.
The second one opens with the dad looking for the adapter for his razor. The remake could open with them looking for their phone chargers. 😂
@@rockstarphantom8112 Yes and Kevin is stuck in the house from a snow storm and he can't charge his phone in which he can't contact his family.

@@Viking_Luchador No. I'm referring to _"Somewhere in My Memory"._
It says in the movie that Kevin's Father's Brother, who lives in Paris paid for the whole trip...so there answers the Paris cousins question.
Yeah, Rob and Georgette. They're mentioned in the second film.
This was definitely one of the best movies ever!
Home alone is one of the best Christmas movies of all time 👍🏾👍🏾
Daniel Stern deserves an oscar just for doing the scene with the tarantula.
The Uncle in that film was a real arsehole too...no way as a father would I let me brother treat my kid like that. Alas, it was "just a movie."
In the original script he was in on the robbery
Yeah, if I had a brother, he would never talk to my kids like that. I would've dragged him outside and berated him. then I would've made him give an apology to the kid.
cs12382 -
That would’ve been a great plot twist
Not just the uncle - practically the whole family were a bunch of mean, sarcastic a-holes.
These two movies HOME ALONE 1 & 2 and CHRISTMAS VACATION along with some of the OLD Classics are ABSOLUTE STAPLES at our home during the holiday season.

The tradition of John Hughes films being shot in school gymnasiums actually stems back to the film shoot for The Breakfast Club, whose jaw-dropping library setting for 85% of the story was assembled in a different school building in the Chicagoland area. Sort of like a distant genetic tie. I was slightly disappointed that this nugget of info wasn’t included here.
To be fair, I think he's mentioned it in other John Hughes movie facts.
Point taken, tdsm19.
One fact left out was that Fuller was played by Macaulay Culkin's younger brother, Kieran Culkin
It's a pretty well known though
@@hayliedlr Is it a pretty well? It wasn't titled "10 Facts You Didn't Know About Home Alone". I am sure someone didn't know that.
Cinemassacre's Home Alone game review was amazing with Caulkin showing up delivering a pizza. I'll toss another plug for 'Lifeforce' out there too.
I want someone to make a real Angels with Filthy Souls movie.
"Angels With Dirty Faces" was put out in 1938 and is a real gangster movie starring James Cagney and Humphrey Bogart.

They wouldn't get the scene exactly right and that would annoy everybody.

It's said in the movie that McCallister's brother paid for the trip, plus the brother owned the house in Home Alone 2 that was being renovated while he was gone.
Kevin's father was in the Mob...hence we he saw the officer, he asked was he under arrest...

Peter and Frank's brother Rob and sister-in-law Georgette live in Paris, their daughter Heather was the one counting the kids in front of the vans. This is my FAVORITE Christmas movie ever, and I watch twenty-four hours of A Christmas Story every year since TNT and TBS started doing that! I like the conversation Kate and John Candy have when he says he left his kid at a funeral parlor, when he says "But he's okay, y'know, six or seven weeks he came around, started talking again" really cracks my mom up:)
I like bits of the sequel but I wish they had made Tim Curry the one Kevin bonded with and that he had told the hotel workers what happened so they have no choice but to keep him at the Plaza and give him everything he wants because the cops tell them to until Peter and Kate get there as well as because the McCallisters are rich:)
The boy who played Kevin's cousin Fuller is Macaulay Culkin's brother Kieran.
Macaulay Culkin drew the map that his character uses to set up the traps.
Macaulay Culkin's stunt double was a very short 30-year-old man.
Director Chris Columbus' biggest fear as a kid was burglars. It's part of why he wanted to make this movie
At the end of the movie where it snows outside Kevin's house, the snow was actually mashed potato flakes.
Little Nero's Pizza is a parody of Little Caesar's Pizza. Caesar and Nero are famous names in Roman history.
The ornaments on which Marv steps were actually candy.
Don't be so daft,the ornaments will have been real ones
@@stephensnell5707 that’s literally a daft thing to say but ok.
Marv “He’s going to call the cops!”
Harry “From a treehouse!”
That’s one of my favorite lines
When my family is talking and something doesn’t make sense someone will say “from a treehouse?”
Ahhhh, the times of no cell phones…nostalgia indeed.
Harry, I’ve reached the top!
It was Kevin’s father’s brother and his family who was living in Paris with his wife they paid for the trip for them all to go. He’s also the one who owns the empty apartment in New York in the second one.
Good catch! I didn't have that "Aha!" moment until about the third or fourth viewing of HA 2.
Frank?
MICHELLE 77va No. different brother. Kevins dad mentions this brother in the beginning but he is never seen. He is in Paris and that’s why they’re flying there to see him. But his character is never shown. And in the second movie, he is still in Paris but he owns the apartment building in New York and he’s having it renovated while they’re away.
@@treemarie213100 You mean Rob and Georgette?
4:55 The best male comedy teams have always been One Tall, One Short
I remember a joke in Dogma where Salma Hayek states that Home Alone’s box office numbers were the result of a Faustian deal.
There is a really good deleted scene with Harry and Marv singing their own version of "Santa Claus is coming to town" about themselves. I also watch these old movies with great sadness when I think of John Candy. He was such a talented and under rated actor. When I watch Planes, Trains, and Automobiles I never even think of Del as John Candy because he's so deep in the role.
I wouldn't say John Candy was under rated. He was well loved and we'll known for so many great flicks.
@@paulcanning4702 I don't think people appreciated what a good actor he could be, and think of him only as a comedic performer. His performance as Del Griffith is so good I don't even think about it as being John Candy. And I also loved his cameo that he did in JFK.
I really feel that we lost him before we saw his full potential.
I was wondering where I heard that music before. Then I realized, it's from Kerbal Space Program! :-)
I saw this in the movie theater outside my malls parking lot with my younger cousin. Still love it at age 41. 🤷🏼♀️
I heard that the boy who plays fuller is actually Maculy Culkins younger brother.
Zoey 651 it is, it’s his brother Kieran
*Macaulay
Zoey 651 he is his little brother keiren*
I am beginning to believe Fuller was a cruel nickname given to his character by Uncle Frank cos he drinks too much Pepsi and wets the bed.
TRUE...THEY ARE BROTHERS IN REAL LIFE
I always wanted to see Kevin's wet/sticky bandit "traps" tested on Mythbusters; to see which are merely painful, and perhaps which could actually be deadly in real life. Break out the human analogs and the CT scanner and see what happens when a human skull meets a matched velocity paint can, or bricks thrown downward (repeatedly) from 60 ft., or a blow torch for the same number of seconds. How does a body hold up when it falls from a duplicated number of feet on to it's back, or mashed by 300 lbs. of tools against a wall. I've seen Home Alone 1 & 2 shown on network TV with some of the traps rather severely edited.
I have always had a fear of glass christmas balls due to a dreadful accident I had as a kid. Not only do they explode, but they go everywhere and I ended up with glass in my feet and a sliver in my eye. Being 7 years old and having your Mother telling you to not shut your eye while on the way to the hospital was tantamount to hell on earth. Now, being a senior citizen and having watched Home Alone since it came out, those fears always come rushing back, but I watch it with my family every year because we love it so much!
P.S. the sliver dropped out of my eye on the way to the hospital. Eyesight...a-ok.
I want that too just to watch the poor test dummies get trashed. I remember when both movies were on AMC with Story Notes that said what would happen to people who went through the traps:O The bricks to the skull would cause brain damage and death, the flaming head in the toilet bowl of gasoline explosion causes death, the skeleton-electrocution causes the heart to stop and death...lots and lots of death...let's petition Mythbusters to make a Christmas special just for the double feature!
It is not Mythbusters, but close. Mark Rober and Vsauce teamed up to test the traps, they even did it on a set that looked just like the movie. They each did a video.

How do you think Myth Busters could test the Traps without Dying
In the film Better Watch Out, the paint cans on the string is demonstrated realistically: A full paint can would completely splatter a person's skull
Absolutely love this film. One of my favourites as a kid.
Also Angels with Filthy Souls was shown in Detective Pikachu.
Yes it was. It was pretty surprising to see that referenced.
The Elvis guy has been confirmed that it is an actual extra who is used in several other movies and shows and not Elvis. The scream with the spider was added in after the scene. He didn't actually scream while they filmed the spider on his face in order to not scare the spider.
Actually the scream from Marv IS REAL
YOU CANNOT MAKE UP A SCREAM
@@stephensnell5707 I NEVER said it was fake and he DIDN'T scream. He just didn't scream while the spider was sitting on him. Look it up - its FACTS!
Love the first two Home Alone films.
John Williams is one of my Favorite Composers!!!
The best christmas movie EVER!!! 10/10!!! Home Alone 2 was also good, but not that good. Let's say 7/10. But anything after that (3,4,5,6?) was bullshit..........
I always thought 2 was better
@@brandonvanmeter same it was more exiting but none alone 1 was to iconic
1 and 2 the rest is bad
I was watching this movie last night,still a awesome movie.
I will watch it on coming sunday.
Me too!
I'll be watching it next week
Along with the second one!
You're wrong Minty the scream was dubbed in because they was worried that it would cause the spider to bite. The actor also said that he is only doing one take and he said that he had to move his mouth to make it look like he was screaming.
It was dubbed in but it is really Daniel screaming
@@captainmarvel9610 yes I am fully aware of the situation. Thanks for your input. 👍
@@captainmarvel9610 the scream is in my opinion all real as you can't make it up
I still want to know what Kevin's parents did for a living that they could afford that mansion of a house.
My guess is that they are diplomats
The guy’s probably in finance lol
@@OALM Hedge funds---and skimming?
I think it mentions in the novelization that the mother worked as a fashion designer and the father was a businessman. I could be wrong though.
@@charliecoccia8875 You're right. This explains the mannequins and sewing machines in the basement.
Spiders do not have stingers they have fangs
If he's Australian, he should know that better than anyone.
There also not poisonous there venomous. Venom is injected, poison is consumed
"Angels with Filthy Souls" shows up in Detective Pikachu
13:43 The fact that the scream was legit makes it more funnier than before 😂
I saw a Home Alone documentary recently that claimed Stern didn't scream at all during the tarantula scene so as not to scare the spider. They said the scream was dubbed in later.
The tricks are more Looney Toons than Saw
Then
yes.

Love Home Alone and watch it every year around Christmas. The 2nd one was good too. Bought the soundtrack to Home Alone it is so good! Merry Christmas! 🎄👍😍
Another quick note that I heard somewhere: At times Joe Pesci forgot he was in a family comedy, and would occasionally drop F-bombs. Because of this, he supposedly came up with that muttering thing he did in both this movie and in Home Alone 2 to try to refrain from dropping them as frequently. Also, along with his appearance being a favor to John Hughes, John Candy also improvised almost all of his lines.
6:35, that was a pretty good choice! Williams does give it the whole slapstick vibe, and then makes it more Christmasy.
Hey Minty, how about doing one on the movie City Slickers? Just a thought, unless you’ve done it already.
I love the City Slickers movies. I legit think the sequel is just as good as the first, which is rare for a sequel.
☝️
Jack Palance (the grizzled cowboy) was in my grandmother's English class at Stanford.
Or maybe the Rare Addams Family 1991 Teaser Trailer.
Minty you beautiful bastard!!! I knew you'd do Home Alone!! Thanks for this brotha, hope you have a great Christmas!
3:27, RIP, Hughes.
Minty it's 6 a.m. bro I'm supposed to be asleep but I'll watch your video.
Fun fact, early on in the movie when Peter hands Kate a voltage adapter, the adapter is actually played by Macaulay Culkin.
Good one! 😆
Uh, no
@@tom..193 prove me wrong
Merry Christmas from California, Minty! Thank you for your channel; discovering it has brightened my year. Cheers, mate!
I'm relatively new to your output and I'm blown away, absolutely superb, properly brilliant. Thank you and Happy New Year from Steven in England.
Number two with the spider, that scream actually isn't legit. During filming that scene he couldn't make a sound in fear of scaring the tarantula and it reacting and attacking. So they edited the sound of him screaming in later.
Minty should have combined this for "20 things you didnt know about home alone"
I love these HA films, grew-up with em as a kid.
Kevin causes more than $11,000 in damages to his parents house
Trivia: In the original draft of the screenplay, it was revealed Harry and Marv are working for Uncle Frank and Uncle Frank hired them to rob the house and also to kill Kevin. There was a scene that was filmed and cut which Uncle Frank calls Kevin "Yank" and cruelly humiliates Kevin by pulling Kevin's trousers down.
Hey Minty, love the videos...is it possible to do one for Home Alone 2: Lost in New York? Would love to see that...Happy Holidays!!!
Home alone was-is and will be one of the greatest christmas special we all going to love,a couple of days back i saw again with my brother the second film! It became a tradition every christmas to see those films like gremlins christmas vacation etc! Really interesting you also mentioned the movies that made us as well,after the toys that made us i want to see those documentaries as well! Nice going once more minty the man thanks for sharing,and merry christmas to all of you out there from lovely greece!
3. It also appears in "Detective Pikachu" where Tim enters his father's apartment.
One you didn't mention: John Mulaney was invited to audition as some CDs working on the film sat in on his children's acting class, but his parents decided against it. He's okay with it now, and has become famous on his own.
Never seen or hear about that john dude saw him on google pictures dont ring any bell
Im gonna watch you Netflix recomendación, but regardless how good it is it can not match your absolute amazing way to describe and narrate films. You are the best
Just watched this all last night on Netflix. Movies That Made Us lol.
Daniel Stern didn't scream because it would have scared the spider. He mimed screaming and the sound was added in post production.
I have some interesting facts you might enjoy. The Home Alone house, John Hughes asked to use for Uncle Buck and the owner said no. Then he asked for Christmas Vacation and she said no. For Home Alone, her door bell rang and it was John Hughes on his knees begging her to use it for the movie and she finally said yes. My source is the homeowner at the time. My buddy went to New Trier. She gave me two onset photos. One with them spraying potato flakes as snow. Daniel Stern's scream didn't happen, he silently did that to not scare the spider. Your videos are so great!
I can't believe people didn't believe The film Angels with Filthy Souls was made strictly for the movie. The one, two, ten guy was in The Blues Brothers as a dispatch worker and Code of Silence with Chuck Norris
The guy with the gun in Angels With Filthy Souls is the same guy who took Curly Sue's ring that Bill gave her in Curly Sue.
He was also the crooked cop in Code of silence with Chuck Norris.

I thought it was Jack Palance (from City Slickers) for a long time.
In the 80s, that guy was in pretty much every movie set in Chicago...You could tell he was a local and would always get hired for Chicago movies
the ending of the film was once brought up in an episode of Seinfeld -- it's really saying something that even someone as bitter & cynical as George could be moved by Old Man Marley reuniting with his family
