"Two scoops, sir?" "Two? Make it three. I'm not driving." 🤣

Home Alone 1&2 are classics, and I still love them.

John Williams' "Christmas Star" is the most enchanting part of this movie. i LOVE the part when that song plays!!

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.

The actor for marv can still do that scream. Someone asked him to do it a few years ago and it was spot on.

The Talkboy was a prize on shows like What Would You Do? back in the 90's on Nickelodeon

Tim curry delivers every line so hard in this movie "stolen CRedit CArd" Or "an extra large cheese pizZA"

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!".

Tim Curry's "Grinch" smile...is lightning in a bottle. Stunning.

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.

"Merry Christmas, little fella"-Pennywise the Clown

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.

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

4:26 That would be monster sap foam soap for playing in the bath.

"The one where Kevin's mum (mom for us Americans) has the hairdo that looks like a bodacious surf wave".....HAHAHAHAHA!!

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!

That Tim Curry narration was amazing! Now I need to track that down online.

My mom and I still debate over what it is the adults did for a living. And how an entire street block just goes away for the holidays.

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).

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!

"This is it, no turning back. Another Christmas in the trenches". Thanks Minty!!!

I remember watching this in the movie theater at my local mall twice. Oh nostalgia.

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.

Kevin was probably just left at home every year after this.

That fresh hot pizza that Kevin gets in the limo...always waters my mouth.

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.

Home Alone 1 & 2 are classics, hubby and I watch them without fail every Christmas night and I always look forward to it.

It's a brilliant idea for Kevin going to New York in this sequel. 😀👍🎅

"Merry Christmas, ya filthy animal!!!! 💥💥💥💥 and a happy New year 💥" thanks for uploading this Minty personally I love this film have a merry Christmas 🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄

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

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.

You should hear Tim curry narrate the " queen of the damned" audio book. just epic

The home alone score is so gorgeous I love it

Tim Curry owns this movie. I've seen it so many times and still crack up when he says "I LOVE YOU!". 🤣

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.

That was the sound of a tool chest. Falling down the stairs...😂

Merry Christmas when it comes everyone 🎄

I had a talkboy and it was one of my favorite toys growing up hahah.

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.

I just remember those talkboy tape recorders were a hot item and we all had to have one. Santa never brought me one tho 😂

I was working at O’hare airport when they were filming the airport scenes.

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 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.

I wanted a Talkboy SO BAD for Christmas when it came out, never did get one.

I think the Bird lady, who also appeared in So I married an axe murderererer, was from a UK TV show Called Casualty

Right now I can imagine Tim Curry doing the voice for the Grinch.

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.

HA 2 will always be my favourite home alone 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!

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!

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 remember my sister and I had pink TalkGirls that year. Great memories!!

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.

This movie made Dove Christmas ornaments a thing to give!

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.

Just enjoying watching the Minty "10 Things about Home Alone 2" video in my limousine and eating a pizza.

"...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!).

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

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 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 think the monster soap was bubble bath if I’m not mistaken. Seems like I had a few of them if memory serves me.

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. 🌟❄️🎄🗽🌃😂👍

You have the coolest collection of “stuff” I’ve ever seen.

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.

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...?)

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!!! :)

The thing he buys in the toy store is a made up brand of bubble bath with the monster head being the cap.

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 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 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 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.

*Takes out a bundle of cash* - "No tip? Okay."

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.

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.

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.

You totally missed rob schneider who would go on to become a star.

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!

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.

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

As far as I am concerned, Home Alone 1 & 2 are the only ones that exist.

Merry Christmas to you & your family Minty ! ... you have given all of us a whole year of laughter & fun ... bless you

6:22 he actually slows the talkboy down by pressing on it to slow the tape down. I remember doing it on an old Walkman

"The movie where the McAllister's learn nothing." 😂👏

"That's a lie." - Cliff.

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.

So cool! Just watched this last night! So many things and people to love about this movie! This sequel is equally as great as the first one! Love your jumper!

I still have a fully functioning and working talkboy in my closet. I had an absolute blast with it when I was younger!

Ever thought about doing an episode for Team America?

Ally Sheedy cameo when Kevin first arrives in New York

I had trouble breathing because of non-stop laughter when I first watched Home Alone 2 when I was a kid.

I had just watch Home Alone 1 and 2 yesterday, it is still funny

My favorite Christmas movie! Thank you Minty!

I’m pretty sure Kevin buys what looks like monster soap .. then he coats the basement floor in the same green goo. It’s a small part we overlook but I’m pretty sure the soap comes out of the monsters mouth🤍 My Christmas gift to you lol ☺️

Minty, I absolutely love your videos and I think you have the best channel on KZfaq! Thanks for all of the awesome material and I look forward to watching upcoming videos. So please keep up the good work!

I've been excited for this one and Minty has finally done it! Love the vid, Minty. "MERRY CHRISTMAS, YA FILTHY ANIMAL....AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR"!

Yes home alone 2 was great as 1.I went to see this at the movies when I was a kid

As I get older I appreciate and love the first Home Alone the best

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”.

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 😂
