Yup, that was indeed Ally Sheedy from the Breakfast Club

[@THEMOECOOPERSHOWTM]

Airport lady at the desk IS from "The Breakfast Club". Alley Sheedy.

[@ircjesselee]

I looked up the inflation rate and the room service bill is around $2,200 in today's value.

[@PALMERUSA21]

The Actor that the Mom just slapped starred in The Rocky Horror Movie. It made him the big star he became.

[@JeremyAustin-hw1qy]

After 30 something years mac still calls Catherine mom

[@ChicagoChris89]

1:06 they actually had a Talk"GIRL" and the color was metallic pink.

[@Johne.8250]

You got to admit uncle Frank is a great character actor for us to hate him 😅

[@HabitualCinema]

That he is

[@EricAKATheBelgianGuy]

Gerry Bamman is the actor's name.

[@DataGirl3]

Pretty sure Duncan’s Toy Chest was based on the actual FAO Schwarz toy store that once operated on 5th Avenue. Sadly, it permanently closed in 2015

[@fergalstackstreams]

Nobody had a Talkboy. It was invented for this movie, but of course then every kid wanted one, and there was a scramble to manufacture them and cash in.

[@user-xj7hq1pp3x]

Bird lady- IM STARVING! Sometimes I EAT the birds so I don’t die in the freezing cold

[@user-xj7hq1pp3x]

“Sick” when said like that means GOOD, now. Who is that woman in the street, Supergirl? She laid out 2 grown men with just one punch each, without even saying anything.

[@PALMERUSA21]

The Actress that plays Maggie also starts in the movie Angels In The Outfield.

[@StephenLuke]

Home Alone 2: Lost in New York (1992) is one of my all-time favorite Christmas movies! Also when I watch this film it makes me want to watch Aladdin (1992) because the second Home Alone film and Aladdin were released in the same year and month, but they were released a few days from each other.

[@1ButtonDash]

Tim Curry looks like a real life cartoon character

[@ilovevegimite]

Kevin did pretty well considering it would have been after 12.30am when his mother found him so that was one hell of a long action packed day.

[@JeremyAustin-hw1qy]

My wife and I love these movies we grew up with them

[@CO84trucker]

After the failed home invasions & toy store heist, the Wet/Sticky Bandits parted ways with Marv finding his true calling as a hyperactive Chicago Cubs pitching coach while Harry reconnected with his Chicago associates doing work as a mafia enforcer but met a sticky ending in an Illinois cornfield!

[@krisfrederick5001]

This is essentially the exact same movie as the first with a skyline. "If it ain't broke don't fix it" and it's totally fine. The pigeon lady basically plays the mysterious scary stranger as old man Marley. The TalkBoy didn't even exist until this, then every kid wanted one for Christmas and it went into production. Tim Curry is such an amazing talent. This is when the series ends for me. Without Macaulay it's just about the money.

[@nathancruz9172]

Exactly

[@THEMOECOOPERSHOWTM]

not the same as the first, or it wouldn't be a sequel.

[@adu1991]

...I actually thought that the sequel was better than the original. Home Alone 3 was when things went south for me.

[@marylandman12]

At 5:05, you are actually correct. That is Ally Sheedy from the Breakfast Club.

[@HabitualCinema]

Oh wow I thought she just looked like her 😂 the blonde threw me off

[@PsychTsunamiMkII]

It was dyed for just that role, by the way. And for the record, I met her myself last month in Providence, RI (along with Molly Ringwald - another Brat Pack icon).

[@PsychTsunamiMkII]

Sheedy also appeared in WarGames / St. Elmo's Fire / Short Circuit / Maid to Order / Only the Lonely (another project of Columbus & the late Hughes, not long before HA2) / High Art.

[@PsychTsunamiMkII]

Also, I've even managed to visit John Heard's* (Peter, the dad) grave in Ipswich, MA every year to pay my respects. *Also appeared in Cat People / C.H.U.D. / Big / Radio Flyer / The Client (TV series).

[@bryanb3352]

I'm sitting here wondering how I've never noticed that. I'm sure I've seen this movie 20+ times and Short Circuit more than that. Dang.

[@stoopkiddreacts4635]

I love how they portray Central Park to be small enough you could basically see Pigeon Lady from the hotel room. Also because of inflation, you guys guessed correctly, $967 in 1992 would be about $2,100 today.

[@josua1146]

Good work, I've known the movie for what feels like an eternity, but it was only after your reaction that I recognized Ally Sheedy from the Breakfast Club in it.

[@kaleemdin7963]

Ladies. That is Ally Sheedy.

[@PALMERUSA21]

The red headed lady checking Kevin in played in The Adam’s Family 2 Movie. She fell in love with cousin IT.

[@charlesbarnes6912]

Another great reaction ladies...looking good miss Jenna😊

[@ShuffleUpandDeal32]

The hotel lady is in the Addams Family movies and others

[@nicolesherman8974]

Really excited for this video.

[@michaelrosas2153]

You might recognize the hotel lady from Adams Family movie or the teacher from Harry Potter movies

[@HabitualCinema]

Addams family for sure

[@nathancruz9172]

Wizard 🧙🏻‍♀️ for sure.

[@MrSmokingfrog1]

Harry Potter teacher is Maggie Smith. Different actor.

[@michaelrosas2153]

Really!!…my life is inside out

[@bigbow62]

Kevin didn't set the speed of the recorder he put his thumb on the disk that holds the tape and was controlling the speed that way... 😉

[@erikbergman3694]

Please do Home alone 3 too!

[@backtoearth1983]

Once again proving his family are idiots. They know he has the credit cards and will need food and shelter... so they cancel the cards and report them stolen. That one act results in Kevin's paper money being taken by the concierge and losing his only guaranteed safe haven. Kevin's dad then has the absolute cheek to yell about a 1grand room service tab.... All while staying in the presidential suite (4k a night in 1992) they were given for free and surrounded by about 15 grand's worth of gifts.

[@j.woodbury412]

Very true.

[@micahbush5397]

The thing is, though, that Kevin ordered WAY more food (all dessert) than he could realistically eat; it would have been excessive even if he had ordered for his entire massive family.

[@backtoearth1983]

@@micahbush5397 They knew where Kevin was, they could have called the hotel and been connected to the room Kevin was using the rooms phone so it's not like he wouldn't have picked up

[@jimshreve83]

Thanks for editing out you know who.

[@wesleypipes6600]

Dana Ivey, is the lady that you recognize in the hotel. She has been in a lot of work such as ugly betty, rush hour 3, monk, sex in the city, Legally Blonde 2, Orange County, Frasier, and the color purple

[@PALMERUSA21]

It makes you wonder, why didn’t Marve have a gun too?

[@chrisnorden8043]

I believe the movie within a movie in the first two films were made to get the production crew acclimated together and with their equipment.

[@OptmiusPrime114]

That lady at the airport IS the chick from The Breakfast Club. Ally Sheedy!

[@evanrosman9226]

"He can't think strait cuz he just got hit in the face with four bricks."

[@j.woodbury412]

He couldn't think straight BEFORE he got hit with the four bricks. You'd think one of them would have knocked some sense into him.

[@MrTech226]

Fuller, cousin of Kevin is actually Macaulay's younger brother, Keiran Culkin.

[@MrTech226]

I believe that Duncan's Toy Chest is actually FAO Schwarz. I think FAO didn't give permission to use their name in the movie.

[@ReneeChristine]

Desk lady was from Adams family values I believe cousin ITs wife

[@micahbush5397]

Just for fun, I decided to break down the room service bill: 2 Chocolate Cakes 6 Chocolate Mousse Ice Cream w/ Misc. Toppings 6 Custard Flan ($48.00) 1 Pastry Cart ($210.00) 8 Strawberry Tarts ($76.00) 36 Chocolate-Covered Strawberries ($47.00) Subtotal: $728.00 Tax and Gratuity: $239.43 Total: $967.43 From this, we can conclude that Strawberry Tarts are $9.50 ($20.79 in 2023) apiece and Custard Flans are $8.00 ($17.51 in 2023) apiece. We can also calculate that the chocolate cakes, chocolate mousse, and ice cream cumulatively cost $347.00. Assuming the chocolate mousse cost $9.50 apiece, six would cost $57.00, bringing the cakes and ice cream to $290.00. Looking the Plaza Hotel's current room service menu, we find that the current price of the "Home Alone Sundae" (yes, that's an actual menu item) is $350.00; this works out to $160.00 in 1992, leaving the chocolate cakes at $65.00 apiece ($142.00 in 2023). A single serving of chocolate cake at the Plaza currently costs $25, so if Kevin ordered two cakes intended to serve 6-8 people each, this would be about right. Figuring out the tax and gratuity was more of a challenge, since I haven't been able to find the total sales tax rate for NYC in 1992. The current rate totals to 8.875%; using that, the taxes come to $64.61, which suggests a gratuity rate of around 22%. However, a gratuity rate of 22% only brings the total to $966.98, so the tax rate might be slightly off. In any case, that's my breakdown of Kevin's room service bill. Even missing a bit of information, it's a surprisingly believable sum.

[@Karvan420]

28:31, you're pretty much spot on. 976$ in 1992 would be over 2100$ today.

[@ShuffleUpandDeal32]

Sadly the toy store is not a real store nor was it filmed in NY

[@HabitualCinema]

Ah man that would’ve been a cool visit

[@gabrielsuarex2437]

Yes it was Rob Schneider 1st Movie but for some reason when I use to have the original VHS at the time his name was different
