How is there not a "he survived this" counter?

There should be a “he’s totally dead” sin counter

Kevin is the master of cleaning. Not only did he clean up after the robbers and before his family got home but he cleaned up all the popcorn on his parents bed between one scene to the next and didn't miss any. I'd hire him to clean my house.

Contrary to what Jeremy said, there actually IS one small, brief mention of the McCallisters having a dog. When Kate is on the phone at the beginning of the movie, right before Kevin jumps onto her bed, she says, "No, we're not bringing the dog. We put him in the kennel."

Kevin's family was literally crying over spilled milk.

“Idiot kid tries to eat Mac and cheese with a fork and knife” lmaoooo

If the McCallisters were able to reach the answering machines at their neighbors, shouldn’t they have been able to reach their own? Then they could call Kevin and ask if he’s ok

I have a sin I'd add to the movie: Kevin was somehow able to clean up/cover up almost any and all signs of what happened on Christmas Eve, which included de-icing the front and basement steps, a bunch of broken ornaments, tar and nailed shingles on the basement stairs, a large length of rope, the Micro-Machines, whatever object that broke when Harry threw the crowbar, cleaning all the scattered feathers, etc. ... Yet he _somehow_ missed both Harry's tooth and Buzz's ruined shelves. Also, I'm very certain there is still a random tarantula wandering the McCallister home

"I dont Care how mad I was I'd talk to my dad,especially around the holidays" Give it 15 years young Kevin

I’ve watched this movie over a hundred times and I can’t Believe I never noticed them throwing out Kevin’s plane ticket.

They left out the part how Kevin ordered a pizza because the phone lines were down lol

Buzz and the others watching Old Man Marley like it's a novelty, despite living across the street from him, is one of the most realistic parts of the movie. Do you not remember being a child, deciding that your somewhat reclusive neighbor MUST be an axe murderer, and spying on them whenever they emerged?!

Buzz looks like Rick Ashley if he was given up

He really just added a sin for American Airlines 😂

Kate: what kind of a mother am I? Me: one who leaves her kid home alone

I can confirm the sled stops very abruptly when you reach the bottom of the stairs

Marv and Harry enter the house *lights go off Tape recorder starts playing: *I Wanna play a game, the rules are simple*

Forgot one point...how did Kevin order pizza with the phones down?

I like when you point out actual plot holes and continuity errors, not just random nitpicks for the sake of making the video longer.

*That awkward moments when you realize Buzz isn't even old enough to have his balls drop, but you still thought he was old.*

Okay legit though, the scene with Kevin and the old man in the church is one of the few examples of an adult-kid conversation with believable dialogue, and makes me cry every time.

When the pizza delivery is quicker than the police response.

You know John Williams is a fantastic composer when it only takes four notes to send chills up your spine.

Ok I think Kevin did laundry so soon because all his clean clothes were in the suitcase he packed

You missed the part where they eat the pizza before paying the delivery guy.

11:31 actually, at the beginning of the film, when Mrs. McCallister is on the phone with her family and kevin comes into the room, she mentions "no, we're not bringing the dog, we put it in the kennel." So, yes, they *do* have a dog.

You would think that Kevin’s mom would have stopped at EVERY payphone between Paris and Chicago to see if she could contact Kevin or the police or SOMEBODY. There’s no emphasis on her doing this in the movie.

Im happy he mentioned the fact that not one person in that entire house full of people noticed there was a damn cop in the house for like 20 minutes.

One extra sin for: “Marv, look at this.” “You better take a look at this” cliché *Ding*

I was hoping there would be a bonus round of “He survived this”

how you feel about your family is a complicated thing. After being "disowned" by one of my sisters I relate to this so much. That scene has hit me hard every year since.

And you didn't mention the uncle calling Kevin a "jerk", and the parents not telling the uncle he could crawl to Paris for all they cared. That's what would have happened if one of my uncles called me a jerk.

This movie in a nutshell: The cameraman was with Kevin the whole time

Worst parents in movie history any movie rated under rated R

The part about the McCallisters not having a better alarm system makes a lot more sense in the second movie. You see, alarms of any type are incredibly expensive in the Home Alone universe, as evidenced by the fact that a wealthy family with multiple teenagers who clearly have difficulty waking up and that just experienced the worst-case scenario of that issue STILL only has a single alarm clock in the entire house.

I'm amazed you didn't give any attention to how much milk was pushed into this entire movie. The pizza party, a wine glass with the mac n cheese, milk for santa (with cookies and carrots to boost that cleansing effect... yeah, he knew what he was doing...) and the fact that Kevin's mom endured some long pilgrimage home and mentioned milk not even 5 minutes after arrival. WHAT IS WITH ALL THE MILK?!

I love home alone but be honest here there is no way those two can survive all that.

“Somewhere, deep in the internet, there must be some erotic fan fiction about Kevin’s mom and the pizza delivery dude, but I will not ruin my childhood by googling it.” 😂

As a travel expert, it highly annoys me that they’re having Kevin pack his suitcase the night before they leave. I’m adding my own sin for that. Also for the fact that there’s no way the kids are okay with sitting in economy seats while their parents are in first class. Also also for the fact that uncle Frank’s wife hasn’t opted for a divorce. Also also also because Buzz managed to eat an entire pizza before Kevin even got into the kitchen. Okay I’m done with my rant.

Wouldn't this also be how Kevin found out Santa wasn't real? We never see him have that conversation with his family. He told the man dressed as Santa that he knew he wasn't the real Santa, but he put out milk and cookies after returning home and presumably cleaning up the house, so he must have thought there still was a real Santa.

When Kevin first saw Harry he was posing as a cop so he probably thought the police wouldn’t protect him.

As a kid, my favorite part of the entire movie was the unrolling of the Map of all the traps. I wanted that map as a poster on my wall SO FREAKING BAD as a young kid.

Maybe mentioned before but Harry's police officer jacket has a city of Chicago flag patch on it while the family clearly lives in a suburb of Chicago.

There is no way Buzz would have been able to eat an entire pizza by himself in the small amount of time the pizza was there. Even if he ate as fast as he could, just to make sure Kevin didn't get any, there still would have been at least half the pizza left

You didnt cover when Kevin shouted "WHEN I GROW UP AND GET MARRIED IM LIVING ALONE!"

“Kevin unknowingly ingests a heavy stimulant, and spends the next several minutes tripping balls” The moment I subbed to this channel

With the battle plan and setting traps part, I have a feeling he made the map earlier in the day. And possibly some of the traps were set up before 8pm

I packed my own stuff once as a kid. I packed a bunch of kids, one shirt, and one pair of pants. No socks. No underwear. No extra clothes. Thank God, my mom is smart and a super mom, so she packed a separate suitcase for me. Point being, yeah, no kid can pack their own suitcase.

What bothers me most about this movie is that after Kevin says, "or are you thirsty for more?" he does not deploy a water-based trap. The pun was there for the taking.

A whole lot of great Sins missed in this one: 1) Marley himself is one giant Sin. Nobody ever tried calling Marley, who literally lives next door and was home. The police didnt talk to Marley. Later in the movie when all phones were working, Marley was never even thought of. 2) Marley had about 100 chances to notice Kevin was Home Alone. He must have known the parents were gone. He even rescued Kevin from certain death across the street, only to drop him off at the doorstep and never once asked to talk to his parents. Just left the kid literally at the door after almost being killed by burglars! 3) How did Kevin get the rope INSIDE the treehouse through the side opening to make a zip line to the house when he was on the ground running with it and would have had to go up the ladder with it underneath the treehouse? Not possible to do what he did. 4) How did the rest of the family get home right after Mom, in a snowstorm on Christmas morning? We clearly see blizzard conditions, but their flights to Chicago were on time and they were able to easily drive from the airport and get home right after Mom?

"You can say hello when you see me." " And YOU can stop being a scary bastard! " Lol

drinking homemade hot chocolate while watching this and I must say I feel like a badass

9:16 I don’t think Buzz actually thinks Marley’s a serial killer, he’s just trying to convince his gullible younger siblings that he is.

I heard somewhere that Buzz's girlfriend was actually a boy dressed in girl's clothes so as to avoid people shaming her whenever the movie aired.

11:46 After he slips, he goes again, instead of thinking to go around to the sides

I remember watching this when I was still learning the basics of English. I understood like 1/3 of what was being said so it's nostalgic to now listen to this and actually understand wtf the jokes are.

I predict that when the Home Alone remake comes out, the biggest sin will be "This movie exists." Because WHY would you want to remake a classic like this when nothing's wrong with the original?

The fact that he mentions John Williams genius in this movie makes me so happy. He is well deserving of his amazing job on film music.

All the airport scenes were filmed in O'Hare, they just shot in different areas for the French airport, hence the sun being out at 3 AM.

I watch Home Alone 1 and 2 every Christmas and have done since I was a child back in the early 90s.

There is mention of a dog. When Mrs McAllister is on the phone early on “We’re not bringing the dog we’re taking him to the kennel”

When I was about 4, me and a couple of my second cousins where out playing. Then their neighbour came walking by, he was probably in his 60's. The oldest of my cousins told me some bogus story about him chasing and kidnapping the local children. Scared the shit out of me. Of course, a few months later I bumped into him in the staircase and pretty much reacted the same way Kevin does! In the end it turned out he was actually a nice guy. Older kids like scaring younger kids with bullshit, I think that's pretty much what they're going for in this scene.

I am very surprised that he didn't remove a sin for that scene with marv screaming at the tarantula

#57. Considering it’s like 30 years old, I didn’t get to see if the door was closed when Kevin ran back in, but you have encountered those doors that lock w/o a key or a manual latch, right? Every single door I’ve ever owned has the main, simple “knob won’t turn” self-lock and then the deadbolt that requires a physical locking.

The scene of Kevin cutting the rope with Harry and Marv has always bothered me. There’s not enough distance between them and the ground for a full swing that would make them collide with the house. They’d faceplant in the snow. Genuinely surprised you didn’t sin that.

Seriously, no sin off for the true emotional moment at the end where the old man hugs his granddaughter?!

When you break down what's wrong I so surprised growing up we never noticed it, even seeing it many times after that. Great job bro.

I love this movie and I watch it every christmas, but I never noticed that they "accidentally" threw out Kevins plane ticket lol

The sled not aligning with the door and the M on Harry's hand were probably the first error I ever caught in a movie. It was so obvious he would go right into the wall that even 6 year old me was like.... uhhhh no.

I’ve watched home alone many times but I still will watch this Christmas

The dog was put in a kennel for the trip- the mom mentions it almost right away on the phone at the beginning

Actually, during the scene where everyone’s eating pizza (before the family leaves for Paris) someone does mention that they put their dog in a kennel for the duration of their vacation. So they do indeed have a dog. Just pointing it out.

He should've taken off a sin for Joe Pesci not swearing for a whole movie.

It has become a national tradition here in Poland for Home Alone to be played on Christmas, to the point it's a running joke. But I still like it, when you've seen it so many times, it became tradition in and of itself.

Hard to believe Michael Jackson saw this movie and thought to himself "Damn I need this kid in my bed now !"

I never realized how physcopathic Kevin was

"Look, i have an older brother in real life, and he did plenty of older brother things to me..." Jeremy out of context for the day

10:55 The parents already called the cops to say their 8-year-old was home alone, and the cop didn't do jack shit. Kevin had no choice but to go vigilante. As a kid I never realized how unlikable every character is. This movie's message about appreciating family fails because they're all assholes and Kevin was better off without them.

Extra sin: Kevin somehow doesn't think to ask where his pizza is until Buzz has eaten all of it. Either Buzz is a Kobayashi-level speed eater or Kevin stood around for a good 15-20 minutes looking everywhere without ever catching the fact his older brother was eating his pizza.

Ok, got another one, so the whole counting kids thing is more difficult that one might think. I have 7 siblings and there one particular situation where one of my siblings was left at a gas station on a road trip across the country back in the 60s, before I was born, but still, 7 kids. The ending of that story was 1 sister happily eating a lollipop surrounded by a few police officers, 6 siblings jealous that they didn't think to try and stay behind, and 1 pair of parents absolutely distraught that they left a kid.

“Well if you want some somebody’s gonna gave to barf it up” my brother says that to me all the time

CinemaSins: “This obviously well-off family HAS overdone it on the Christmas lights” Clark Griswold: *Am I a joke to you?*

8:32 Flooding someone's house would cause an ungodly amount of damage. Mold for weeks, all of their belongins destroyed, literally thousands of dollars worth of damage that would devastate the family financially and pyschologically. There's also no reason for Marv to do it other than "muh calling card". It's infinitely worse than stealing a bunch of materialistic items

My friends dad who lives next door to me now was in O'hare airport when they were filming the hussle through the airport scene and ended up in the movie. He is super proud of himself for that, he's a movie star! lol I also watched this movie in the theater with MY dad on it's opening day, we both really liked the movie.

Additional sin. He cleans up the entire house from all the damage, except for Buzz's room, and that one gold tooth in the middle of the living room floor.

8:37 I mean that's fair I guess. If you steal someone's stuff, then you're at least gain something from it. Flooding their entire house for no reason is a step up of assholeness

“THIS IS MY HOUSE. I HAVE TO DEFEND IT” “ Sure, but you can also just call the god damn cops as soon as the robbers show up, rather than design a Saw like torture house” lmfao

The father also seems to have gotten a different script than everyone else. In the Paris airport he tells Kate "don't you get lost", and when he's on the phone in Paris he screams "I'm looking for my son..." He seems to think Kevin is lost when everyone knows exactly where he is.

Domino's Pizza used to have a 30-minutes or less guaranteed delivery or your pizza was free. Word is it came out of the delivery driver's paycheck which led to them driving recklessly in order to make the deadline. Domino's abandoned this policy after someone was killed in an accident involving a Domino's delivery truck.

Kevin was sleeping in the attic when everyone left. He was sleeping on the couch in the living room when the car door slams. that's why he didn't hear the families car doors slam.

If you have subtitles on, Kate mentions putting their dog in a kennel before their trip. I literally just stumbled upon this tonight while watching the dvd with subtitles on...question answered

Ok, I just heard the 8 yr old packing himself…GREAT CATCH! My sons once packed to go to grandmas…when we got there, here was the contents: A PlayStation controller and 1 dirty sock packed into a plastic grocery bag! Ps-no I did not see there ‘suitcase’ before. They also ‘loaded’ it into the car 😂😂

Great vid as usual, only issue I had is there actually is a mention of a dog in the beginning of the movie when the mom is on the phone. She says no we’re not taking the dog, he’s going to a kennel and there’s also clearly dog dishes and food on the kitchen floor by the counter.

Missed sin. Kevin cleans up the entire mess of all his traps and everything, but just happens to miss Harry's gold tooth, which the father finds right away.

He really said that’s racist in French 🤣

13:20 he should’ve called Little Neros instead.

I packed my own suitcase when I was 4! ...it contained trains, and that’s it.

I demand a sin off for Marv’s scream when Kevin puts the tarantula on his face

I would remove a sin for when Marv screamed when Kevin put the tarantula on his face lol 🤣

You showing that spatule moving just a bit at the end now haunts me. I see it with my waking eyes
