7 DETAILS YOU MISSED in Home Alone

[@meerkat9113]

I like to think Old Man Marley paid for the toothbrush Kevin took because he knew Kevin was frightened off by him.

[@buddymckane1179]

Yes, I just noticed this after I had commented! Yep.

[@williamrocks2802]

Now that I think of it it might be true

[@JStryker47]

Is it ever explained how Marley injured his hand?

[@TransitionedToAShark]

He didn’t pay

[@KieranWilcoxEdits]

Smart

[@JustinEvitable80]

Another thing people claim is we never see Kevin's actual bedroom. However, we do. When he's asking Jeff about packing a suitcase, they're in a room with bunkbeds. With a house of five kids, it's obvious some share rooms. We also see this room slightly when Kevin looks at his "Battle Plans".

[@mwFN123]

Agree

[@ljmcdonald2703]

Linnie and Megan shared a room while Buzz had his own being the oldest, Jeff and Kevin probably shared a room

[@TheZetaKai]

The premise of a family forgetting one of their kids at home while they went on vacation is a very specific one, and a lot of care had to go into the writing, so that the family (especially the mother) didn't come off as unsympathetic to the audience. The family had to be very large, and the situation had to be very chaotic, so there had to be a lot of characters introduced very quickly and efficiently, including the protagonist Kevin. The writers pulled off a minor miracle by making the film as well as they did.

[@FunFactFilms]

Well said!

[@TheNova64000]

The house also had to be a big house that stood out so that it would appeal to the burglars more so than all of the other houses in the neighborhood.

[@georgeoldsterd8994]

The thing is that despite all that, the family still isn't sympathetic. They continuously talk down on Kevin and punish him even though half the time he was just retaliating for being mistreated.

[@leontingen6145]

The wedding ring could be for a lot of reasons. He could be married, but it could also be a keepsake from his first robbery that just happened to fit him. And maybe like you said to make him seem more likable. He could also be a widower. 😊

[@cdevidal]

There is another, simpler answer. Joe Pesce, who played the part of Harry, was married to model/actress Claudia Haro at the time of filming, divorced in 1992, just after Home Alone 2 finished filming.

[@MikeJ2023]

Harry’s wife was his accomplice like a Bonnie and Clyde kind of thing but one time a robbery wet bad and she wound up shot and killed Harry got away unharmed. So Harry wears that ring to every robbery in her memory.

[@Schultzy1992]

Joe Pesci was married during Home Alone 1

[@deadsparksgamingchannel]

@@MikeJ2023 proof?

[@SamLemont]

my head canon is he is a widower. That's why in one of the deleted scenes for Home Alone, Harry talks about not having a good Christmas in a long time.

[@nathansaintus9927]

The fact that you realised all these things in the home alone series makes you really observant. And just imagine how weird it would be if Kevin went to the airport without a passport, the whole family(Except Uncle Franks) family would probably just cancel the vacation I suppose

[@waikeonglim7703]

I'm pretty sure that ring wasn't part of the costume. It might belong to Joe Pecci the actor, not Harry the character

[@ianhawke2203]

I thought that too. If Harry was married, surely he wouldn’t be robbing houses.

[@peytonwooley2332]

@@ianhawke2203 yup excatly also wouldnt be constantly with marv and him only. Joe pesci just didnt want to remove his ring during production.

[@Samanta-van-laar]

@@ianhawke2203 u never know there are many people who do that

[@jessicatompkins535]

True

[@michaelstephens360]

Unless Harry and Marv are married

[@FlippyEveryDay]

The wedding ring part is because Joe pesci didn't want to take it off during filming so the producers let him wear it and didn't expect people to look so deep into it

[@g.b569]

I figured that was the case and you never say no to Joe Pesci (I’m sure he’s a good guy in real life but he can be intimidating

[@FlippyEveryDay]

@@g.b569 I met him and he is super sweet and treated me like a grandson

[@g.b569]

@@FlippyEveryDay That's so nice

[@jessicatompkins535]

I figured that was so.

[@MasterAnakinSkyWalker]

Fun fact: In the original script, Uncle Frank was the one who hired Marv and Harry to rob the McCallister house. To be honest, I think that would've been an interesting plot twist

[@thefandomguyproductions568]

It being revealed the uncle either in a scene where he visits Henry and Marv in prison or in a sequel that he hired them would have been awesome

[@waikeonglim7703]

Wouldn't be all that surprised because how much he mooches of his own brother

[@georgecampbell9638]

That’s makes sense, considering Uncle Frank is quite an odd fellow

[@victorspennato3008]

Better the way it ended up.

[@lesleyrowley7676]

@Anakin Sky Walker how do you know that

[@bigs274]

I watched Home Alone in School Yesterday

[@Nothing-ru4ft]

Lucky

[@lt3488]

So lucky

[@gilzeditz]

Lucky we watch corny movies like finding nemo

[@jeffsanders8757]

NO WAY SO DID I!

[@Def.Not.Daria.]

DUDE SAME???

[@hunterpikachu1763]

0:00 yes I've seen it a hundred dozen times (ive seen the scene even more where Marv slipped down the stairs me and my sister laughed so hard but we were like 4 then) and I never knew i missed these details.

[@NatRomanoff58]

Only things I didn't notice before were the Marley connection or the van's slogan. Seen the movies dozens of times, but now I'm gonna be looking even closer. Nice video and info. And nice attention to the show to pick up on all that stuff.

[@epic44]

3:07 or maybe Harry is married in real life?

[@SilasOsterwalder-yx3tj]

The actor was they divorced after filming the Second Hone Alone

[@sportify4529]

Its also possible that Harry stole the ring rather than him being married

[@stefanpoirier6810]

I'm sure we all picked up on this: Kevin going through Buzz's private stuff. Among the firecrackers, one can spot the chips or so that Kevin later on has next to him when watching 'Angels With Filthy Souls".

[@jennyhunt]

Wow! I've watched HA dozens and dozens of times! The first time was in the movie theatre, and I only knew about Buzz in his room and the snow globes. The Marley connection is fascinating!

[@Camilledanstavie]

Also,when Kevin’s mom gave the earrings later on in the film if you look closely she was still wearing the earrings

[@shellbacksclub]

why was Marley's hand bleeding?

[@jimmydeanpatterson1422]

Maybe he somehow hit his hand with that heavy snow shovel.

[@mrchopsticks3]

I thought everyone noticed the ticket in the garbage, I always did. But this is masterful screenwriting. Proof how good a writer John Hughes was.

[@FunFactFilms]

Indeed. Researching for this video made me appreciate this movie so much more

[@mrchopsticks3]

@@FunFactFilms Well, yeah, its your video.

[@old-952]

I did

[@BrandonHunnicutt]

I’ve also seen the ticket in the garbage

[@jessicatompkins535]

I’ve always noticed it too. I mean that’s kind of the point they zoom in on the trash can for a reason.

[@martinajurickova5750]

Harry's ring: look up a video on cut scenes, he explains there that people nowadays are just too cynical and cruel, so there may be some sad marriage-betrayal story implied... Or maybe he just holds on the ring because it is golden, just like his tooth

[@rat9638]

My theory about the ring is that He's probably married in real life So that's why he's very

[@james_fisch]

He's very

[@GoonieLord]

The snow globes were for each house they robbed, Joe forgot the wedding ring during shooting

[@salemawad216]

Harry is such a good actor I hope he comes back

[@FunFactFilms]

It would be nice to have Pesci come back for another one but since he’s retired it seems that sadly the ship has sailed.

[@darthtader5802]

Harry probably just stole that ring from 1 of the houses he robbed

[@rustyshackelford312]

Little noticed detail the wound on Marley's hand represents his broken family. Bloody and wrapped in the drugstore when Kevin steals the toothbrush, clean and bandaged in the church when he shakes Kevin's hand after talking to him, and healed at the end when he hugs his granddaughter and waves to Kevin.

[@hopebirnbaum9496]

I didn't know any of this, Thanks!! What if the ring on Harry was the actors real wedding ring ?

[@TheGrenade_Dude]

It is he just never wanted to take it off

[@jessicatompkins535]

It was lol

[@taketemamula]

I think he stoles the ring.

[@itsadilmalik11]

Home alone 1, 2 are amazing And the new one is terrific

[@ScarysReviews]

the new one is terrible

[@CaptainShronk]

i think he just straight up stole the ring

[@djmarvelousmark]

He probably stole that ring

[@FunFactFilms]

Ya for reals!

[@lab1042]

I put a doggy-door in the wall of my previous house. I left it there when we moved (since it's now basically a permanent fixture of the wall without doing some serious reno). The new owners didn't have a dog, so now they have a house with a doggy-door but no dog. And yes, I put another doggy door in the wall of my current house.

[@isaacheres1354]

I knew about Buzz turning around when his named was mentioned. I kinda like that

[@taddmason1187]

I've often believed Kevin was adopted

[@Duckguy787]

I’ve seen home alone a ton and I just discovers Kevin’s trashed ticket a couple weeks ago when I rewatched it.

[@malikgriffith_36456]

0:08 That I ask about and I thought dog died

[@micahbush5397]

And here I figured we didn't see the McAlisters' dog because he/she was a casualty of the pizza guy's reckless driving.

[@jessicatompkins535]

😂🤣😂

[@stefanpoirier6810]

lol that's funny. He just never told them and probably threw the carcass into the trunk.

[@RufioRufioRu.Fi.Ooof1982xxx]

Did Not Aware of that , Just focused on the Hilarious part 🤣

[@RoosterMontgomery]

Don't forget, Harry's also a cannibal.

[@OhSnapWord111]

One detail that I picked up for the first time after watching the movie numerous times was during the kitchen scene at the beginning of the movie. When Uncle Frank says he has traveler's checks, you hear Peter say to him "you probably got the kind of traveler's checks that don't work in France."

[@GoonieLord]

Fun fact the original house was to small so they used a abandoned school gymnasium for the interior shots

[@GoonieLord]

@Allison Benvie yes very few know this

[@Wipper86]

I know Bob Saget wore his wedding ring in the first film of Full House but the producers said he had to take it off so it can make it look like he's single in the rest of the shows. But ya it's funny how Harry is still wearing his actual wedding ring. Also I noticed Fuller's pillow and blanket are the same as DJ's bed from Full House as well.

[@RobloxPlayerFan96]

I knew it was a very cool video

Mabey the wedding ring on Harry's finger was actually joe pesci's and he forgot to take it off

It was his and he didn’t want to take it off and the producers were cool with that.

Yes, so did I.

Mabye harry stole the ring

[@theblueadventurer615]

I had noticed when Buzz turned and I think the ticket thing is very obvious. The other things aren't that noticeable.

[@GoonieLord]

Read the book they had a dog named Ralphie, listen to Kate on the phone she mentions to her friend that the put the dog in the kennal

[@RapFanatic4ever]

Thanks for this

[@LeahWalentosky]

Harry could also be widowed

[@ariajane8695]

The wedding ring is probably Harry's in real life

[@scottknode898]

You mean Joe Pesci who was married in real life during filming of Home Alone

[@lab1042]

The church he talks to the old man in is 3 miles away from his house (per Google Maps). That's a long walk for a 10 year old at night! Then he had plenty of time to set up his traps before 9 pm??

[@repvoid7680]

So much info packed into 3 minutes, I'm amazed 😂

[@jennyrose9454]

Ok did Kevin grow up to be Jigsaw?😶

[@jamesbounds]

I never noticed the snow globes. Good eye.

[@nikibaroski3808]

missing toothbrush: you can see that his cousin puts a toothbrush in his pocket before he leaves the bathroom.

[@Keagan758]

Another detail : in this scene at 2:53 the van says dodge (a car brand that made the van) and Kevin luckily dodged the van by just standing there while harry stops the van, so that’s another bonus detail and funny joke in the movie

[@Keagan758]

Yes, it’s so funny how we get to see some secret Easter eggs in this movie@exorcistrisingofficial

[@jamesporter3542]

What if harry just wore the ring as a trophy from a house he’s robbed?

[@TnT_F0X]

Harry and Marv are clearly Married. They argue like an old married couple... run a 'business' together...

[@jimmydeanpatterson1422]

They do argue just like an older, married couple would. LOL.

[@siegenmoon2792]

He stole the ring

[@oscarargueta1465]

I watched Home Alone at school on December 17

[@jimmydeanpatterson1422]

Amazing.

[@Tpebestlivery]

I hardly understand anything but those are good hints of the film and the first one was the best because I did not know that the McCallisters had a dog

[@bryanrizzo9377]

Wow Harry's actually married? For a guy that spends most of his time robbing houses and abusing children then on top of it using a cop disguise when he's actually in someones house like he does at the beginning of the movie...I hope by the time Home Alone 2 came around he was divorced.

[@texashazzard7606]

I wanna see a Prequel movie of how Harry and Marv met up and their stories behind the scenes Harry prob has a wife and even kids they think the money comes from his job and maybe Marv is his bar buddy that Joins him on the job

[@buddymckane1179]

Would anyone else agree that Old Man Marley paid for the tooth brush!?

[@stefanpoirier6810]

I'm pretty sure Harry could have oh IDK STOLE THE RING!?! He was looking to snatch some fine jewelry. Now anyways

[@krypton7676]

In observation & if you're interested, Kevin's value is not very high in the family, he doesn't really get any respect at all. More care is taken to mention how the dog is taken to the kennel, Kevin gets picked on & put down by everyone, especially Buzz & Uncle Frank, Kevin's airplane ticket gets thrown in the trash by his dad when his dad is cleaning up the spilt soda & wet pizza when Buzz pretends to throw up his pizza & Kevin gets angry & pushes Buzz. The entire family ignores, neglects & completely forgets Kevin the next morning, everyone basically cares more about themselves, the trip to Paris or anything else, BUT KEVIN, the only person who remembers Kevin is his mom, old man Marley (both out of concern), & Harry & Marv (out of getting rid of him). Coming from a similar childhood where I was ignored the same way in my family, I noticed how his family treats him everytime I saw this movie. The only way my family began to remember me is when I moved out & started living on my own & I told my family the wonderful things I was doing around the world.

[@MisterEllio]

I already noticed the passport in the garbage

[@Matthew-ke4yy]

HARRY STOLE THE RING!

[@paultaylor3375]

Your are so cool

[@idkwhatsgoingon4584]

Interesting fact, Harry and Marv refuse to go into the church and don't notice the extra wise man, (Kevin hiding) which could show Harry and Marv had a bad moment in life with Religion, around the time of this movie, one of their characters or both could have been in a Catholic school

[@martinajurickova5750]

Or just because robbers are sinners and just avoid such places in order not to confess to their crimes

[@timothyskidmore1554]

Marv is most likely Jewish just like Daniel Stern

[@julianloht9651]

I knew every detail about the movie, but didn’t really think about Marley’s connection but I can see why. I have an iconic movie suggestion you should make for behind the scenes after Christmas season is over. Have you seen Ghost (1990) that had Patrick Swayze? It’s an iconic beloved movie that teenagers and adults love to watch and it’s PG-13 if you’re wondering since I knew you dislike watching rated R movies. If you haven’t watch it, I highly recommend.

[@FunFactFilms]

Thanks Julian 👍

[@saramiller1733]

Wow that is a lot to put in

Actually the missing tickets should have let them know that Kevin was missing

[@georgeoldsterd8994]

In one of the crappy sequels Kevin's parents divorced and he went to live with his dad, while the rest of his siblings stayed with their mom. Dad was apparently rich and had a high-tech house that Marv (who's had a falling-out with Harry) and his wife decided to rob. Or was that Harry and his wife?

[@ScarysReviews]

was Marv and his wife. and that film is the 4th. awful having the McAlister's return and none are portrayed by the original cast, same with Marv. it should have been a new family, a concept ruined with poor follow ups.

There are some good catches here.
