'McCallister Home Security'...Okay, that's pretty funny, I'll give 'em that one.

Some of these are a stretch. #19 Kevin didn't have a fear of old people. He was scared of Old Man Marley because Buzz told him he was a serial killer and he was scared of the pigeon lady because she was covered in pigeons. It had nothing to do with them being old.

One thing you missed, Max being a kid is a reference to Kevin being a kid in the original movie. Man, the attention to detail is amazing!

It was really getting to see Buzz as an adult but I was looking forward to seeing Macaulay Culkin return as an adult Kevin. I wasn’t happy when I heard he wasn’t in the film

It would be a dream come true to have Macaulay to do an adult version of home defense as a complete of the series...

When I saw that Angels with Filthy Souls scene , I was like “ they seriously didn’t just make that joke”

There's also that scene where Max blinks, which is a reference to when Kevin blinked! You're looking too much into this film, they are not references, just similarities. There are some references yes, but not all of these are.

This “movie” has no business giving throwbacks to the first two classics.

Home alone and Home alone 2 are masterpieces

It would be better if Kevin was the Narrator of this movie and in the end after leaving the McCallister Home Security truck and revealing himself wearing a suit revealing he is the owner of the McCallister Home Security company

The remake sounds awful but why couldn’t they ever do a new one where Kevin is the father and has some type of argument with his kid and accidentally leaves him or her alone. The wet/sticky bandits return and possibly some of the original cast. Somehow Kevin finds out that the bandits are back and even though a lot older he realizes they are still dangerous and tries to get back home to his kid before they do. There could even be a few flashbacks to the first two movies as well. Obviously we will never see a movie like this but I think it would be better than home sweet home alone.

Fun fact: Daniel Stern insisted on stepped on the ornaments in his bare feet for a more realistic reaction.

The references are nice and I WILL ADMIT the part of Kevin creating his own home security company is pretty creative…. But that ain’t enough for me to sit through this movie

You forgot something. When Pam McKenzie turns on the water in the garden, it gets wet, the jet is deflected. It's similar to "Home Alone 3" when Burton Jernigan turns on the wrong water tap and the jet is diverted as well.

I love how you get straight into the video without any boring things at the begging

4:59 that’s the same reference from Home Alone: The Holiday Heist, when Hughes just accidentally ate the mixed ingredient gingerbread man cookie trap that Finn baked it.

I was horrified to realize that Max used the toy from the couple's son to fight the couple. How sick is that, and even he thought he was the child in need... where is Christmas spirit of giving out love and care for others?

Aside from from the obvious nods and references to the original two Home Alone films, I believe there is another one that not many people even thought to pick up on. I believe this to be a very big stretch since this is only a theory and not something officially confirmed, but I believe the character of Pam McKenzie played by Ellie Kemper to be the adult grown up granddaughter of Old Man Marley from the first film. Both are red heads, Pam's daughter sings in the church choir just like her mother would've as a little girl as shown in the church scene in the first Home Alone film when Marley and Kevin were talking to each other. Marley's granddaughter and Pam would be around the same age, Pam is very family oriented and Christmas seemed like a special time for her. A wiki has the granddaughter from Home Alone named as "Madison Marley", but that's not actually official because she was nameless in the actual Home Alone script/movie. Also, very little is known about Pam's side of the family in Home Sweet Home Alone as her husband Jeff's brother and his family are the ones who visit and spend Christmas with the McKenzies. So anything is possible. Some would probably think this is messed up since it would make Marley's granddaughter 'bad', but the recent movie seemed to really give the impression that Pam and Jeff aren't really bad people and that the whole plot of the film is the result of a misunderstanding that eventually gets resolved. While the film isn't exactly great, the references and nods to the first two movies, and some potential theories like the one I just shared are a plus at least.

Most of these aren't references, they're similarities.

What I like in this one is that they make a joke about how Sequel, Prequals, and Re-boots can be bad and ruin the original film. Which they demonstrated perfectly.

Oh my god they both said the word “yes” what a reference.

If You Look Closely At The Scene When The Girl Is Getting Onto Her Husband About The Metal Detector Comment He Made There’s A Little Neros Pizza Box Which Is A Reference To The 1st Home Alone When Kevin Orders Pizza From Little Neros Pizza

After being radioed by the other cops, buzz should have said “holy shelves, Kevin, every year!!”

Maybe the “give up yet, or are you thirsty for more, is the McAllister security motto

*4:59* When *Jeff McKenzie* eats those *spicy cookies,* the *same reference* from the *previous home alone film.* In which, it happened in *HOME ALONE: THE HOLIDAY HEIST (2012),* where *Finn Baxter (Christian Martyn)* baked those *spicy gingerbread cookies* because *Hughes (Eddie Steeples)* keeps eating the *Gingerbread Cookies* when *The Baxter Family* are not at home.

1:32 Man That's a lot of Milk Brands we got Silk, great Value, Fairlife, Almost all of them

5:49: the comic relief of home alone

You forgot something, remember in both home alone films Kevin got in trouble at the end? Well max also got in trouble at the end as well , and Kevin destroyed buzzes room and max destroyed the house

"Trout-Sniffer" is the one no one uses. 😂😂😂😂

Max is the spitting image of my cousin, which really compels me to disagree with the general audience of the new movie, in my opinion

I hope Macaulay Culkin comeback in the future. So he does exist in this movie.

More trivia: In the novelization of Home Alone, instead of Kevin watching Miracle on 34th Street, he watches Wile E. Coyote and Road Runner.

I’ve give you credit for watching the whole thing I got 2 minutes in and turned it off

Fun fact: it was John Debney who scored this movie and he actually talked to John Williams and i believe they worked together

One source online said that (I don't believe it till I see it though) the person that put an offer on the house was going to be Catherine O'Hara, but they couldn't get her, and their new friends take care of THEM by assisting them in a down payment for a new house and the house would be revealed to be the original one from the first movie

If Im being honest, Home alone is one of the most memorable movies I've ever watched...

I would add that Buzz's sloppy eating habits in this movie seem to reference Officer Balzak's from the original.

If we all agree. Home alone 1 & 2 were the Best.

Isn't it the thieves on this movie reminiscent of the 4th movie, too? It's also a couple, Marv (no, not that guy) and Vera.

OMG I love Home Alone is funny

"Trout sniffer" is an amazing insult.

Max Mercer once said: you guys give up or you'll thirsty for more just like what Kevin said

You forgot the Little Nero’s Pizza Box on the counter at one point.

1:42 Well, I deanfenitly did not expect Jim Rash to be in this

There is one where the parents say "We will hit the house at midnight." just like in Home Alone 2 when they talk about robbing the toy store.

Theres other references of other movies and a program, trampoline scene is like referring to Home alone 3, The Orange soda is reference to Kenan and Kel, since Kenan is in the movie as realtor, is reference to his buddy Kel, the tack in the doorbell is reference to Buzz (Devin Ratray) in Dennis the Menace as the boyfriend of the babysitter because he puts the tack on the doorbell.

Kevin McCallister is now a inventor who created a home alarm system

*2:33* *Buzz McCallister (Devin Ratray)*

Amazing!

Compared to the other 3 bad Home Alone movies, THIS one has a DIRECT connection to the first two movies. Who believes it makes it ANY better? Don't answer if you don't.

so many stretches i think we're ready for an exercise

I love home alone

This is the video version of when your teacher says you need to have a certain amount of pages in an essay. Half of the stuff is a stretch, I appreciate the more creative references they put in the movie like the McAllister sign

The newest movie doesn’t do justice. Still I appreciate the references and the cameos.

In both movies, both the burglars were pretending to be Santa Clause. That was one I noticed.

You forgot were Jeff fallted through the roof of the little house is a reference to Harry and Marv in their little houses inside Duncans Toy Chest. And there is another one when Jeff make the jump with the vr glasses on his head and everything on the shelf fallted on him just like on Marv when he slides on the soap right against the shelf. And it's also a reference to Kevin that fallted through Buzz shelf when he climbing it.

I didn’t recognize 8 of these!

I know one! When Jeff falls on the floor and the shelf falls on him from Home Sweet Home Alone. Is just like when Marv slips and the shelf falls on him in Home Alone 2 Lost In New York.

The movie has a reference to the 3rd movie, it is when the 2 men in the 3rd fall into the cold pool just like when the couple does.

Fun fact the plural of Lego is actually Lego.

You forgot the Little Nero Pizza Box 🤷‍♂️

Though its nice to have some references, I feel like this movie relies too much on nostalgia

I feel like I’m the only LEGO nerd here who knows that the plural for LEGO is just LEGO and not with the ssss at the end

So home sweet home alone is a big reference to the 2 real home alone movies

You missed another thing! Max was home alone, like kevin was home alone!

When I saw the movie, did not even see that much references. JEEZ!

I understand that the developers behind this movie want to capitalize on Home Alone and Home Alone 2, not just remaking Home Alone movie but by including Easter eggs including cameo of Buzz McCallister (as an adult police) and McCallister home security sign. But while the movie can be divisive, the movie itself should have added actual villains. And no not the Mackenzies because while they did break into Max’s house they aren’t actual criminals and mistakenly though their doll or property is in Max’s house unlike Harry and Marv from Home Alone and Home Alone 2 who tries to get a revenge from Kevin and actually steals things or good. They at least should have added actual criminals/villains at the end, who are also trying to break in to get the doll just so that they can sell it for a high cash and steal some other items, and no they don’t have to be Harry and Marv. Besides that the traps on Home Sweet Home Alone are similar to Home Alone and Home Alone 2, the traps were entertaining just like the previous movies, as the best moment from Home Alone franchise

In case you don’t recognise him in this video adult Buzz is played by the same guy who played him in the original Home Alone and Home Alone 2 and that guy is David Ratray

"Oh WOWWWW!"... Uggh!

The original nativity is owned by Chateu on the Lake in Branson, Missouri. They display it every year from first film.

Missing: “just like”

did you also notice all the snow in the new one ????? think thats a Reference to the orginal ? there was snow all over the place in that one

SO when will we get Home Alone 7? where Kevin is running his security company and The Sticky Bandits are out for revenge so Kevin has to rig his Office to fight back...only this one is Rated R because Kevin is a psychopath.

Home sweet home alone was had with those home alone references

I noticed all of them :D

What about when Jeff turns off the alarm and him putting his finger through a nail is a callback to Marv putting his foot through a nail on the stairs in the first home alone

there is another reference is when max says "im tired of this bull sh-" and then talks to goobie his elf on the shelf and in home alone 2 buzz said at the end ok enough of this goobie shi- and it is similar im pretty sure that its another reference

My kids seeing Buzz as an adult: 😐 Me seeing Buzz as an adult: 🤓

Yes of course watching cartoons is a reference to Home Alone 2 and drinking soda and having to pee is also a reference to

i did the classic home alone fall but it was on mud lol

Christmas ornaments hurt worse than legos

Home sweet home alone shouldn’t have never been made is a💩, just watch home alone 1 & 2 their are real classics.

Early on in 6 they get pizza from Little Nero’s Pizza which, of course, appears several times in the original.

Its quite Ironic when the motto is *Holiday Classics Where Meant to be broken* Well.... We all try to forget about 3, 4, 5, 6,

Such a stretch, only good one is the McAlister home security

Has anybody noticed that when max was sitting at the table with the pile of M&Ms that was a scarface reference

The new one is awful. But I have no idea how you’d miss any of the references because any time there is one they throw it in your face and shout “did you see that?! Did you?! DID YOU?!” When I seen the McAllister home security system sign I pointed it out and said “oh that’s cool” but then later they have to have Buzz mention it and draw attention to it. They should have just left it as a nice Easter egg. I don’t even want to think about their Angels with Dirty faces reference.

Great facts but just one word for the reboot “WHY?”

Sweet home alone is not even a repeat after all it’s just a continuation of the previous films left off

Most of these "references" are a really long stretch! They are at most coincidental!

Fun fact: my mom was 12 when the first home alone movie was released and I was 12 (and I’m still 12) when the 2021 version came out

But also.. that fear of older people is the lead witch in hocus pocus.

They should make a home alone where Kevin is all grown up and leaves his child home alone when he is on vacation

3:14 look at that scene and tell me that doesnt look like Rick astley

These aren't all easter eggs, it is a reboot/remake after all, so some things were bound to be the same. The mon wearing a brown overcoat is not a callback to the original. lol

Some of these are a stretch, but I’ll give it to him......

make that 51 you missed the neros pizza on the table while the mom is on the phone in home sweet home alone

I know everything about home alone because I watch Home Alone I watch Home Alone 2 lost in New York I've watched Home Alone 3 and I watched Home Alone 4 and I watch home sweet home alone

Buzz is the main character because all ways remember

No matter your thoughts on it, you have to agree the makers really did care about it's source material
