When Catherine O'Hara is on the phone in the first few minutes of the movie, she said "We brought the dog to the kennel", so they do have a dog. It's just so easy to miss the line because the beginning of the movie is so chaotic. And I read in an interview that the mother is a supposed to be a clothing designer, which explains why they have so many mannequins in the home. Also.... love the kitty!

[@rossrobertson674]

It's such a pointless line I wonder if it was to set something up for later like how they show all the manicans in the basement that he uses later to fake a party

[@rossrobertson674]

And the doggy door scene where Marv sticks his head through, can't have a doggy door with no dog

[@SBaby]

What about the hangman's nooses that are next to the mannequin? Also the dog is never mentioned in the second movie.

[@Lensmaster1]

​@SBaby the second movie doesn't take place at home so there is no setting up needed for a doggie door and such.

[@doyleyernaux1048]

Fun fact: Old man Marley was a last minute addition to the script to give more substance and someone Kevin can relate to. If you notice his bandaged hand, it changes throughout the movie to a less extreme bandage until it is fully healed at the end. It's meant to symbolize the wound in the family that heals by the end. It seems unnecessary, but it adds heart-warmth and thought and i can't picture the movie without the late Roberts Blossom.

[@emeralduk20]

I always feel sorry for Macaulay Culkin. His parents were so awful. Apparently, the crew on Home Alone all tried to protect him from his own parents.

[@NikkieTwix]

He was constantly working at young age, he was the breadwinner of the family and that’s way too much pressure to put on a child. Then people wonder why he had drug addiction issues

[@kathyastrom1315]

Kit Culkin, his dad and manager (and Bonnie Bedelia’s [Holly Gennero McClane] brother, btw), was horrendous. He helped to ruin his son’s career in the mid-90s when Macaulay was booked to present the best short films awards at the Oscars. About a week before Oscar night, Kit called the producers and demanded more money above the going rate for the presenters. The producers told him to f-ck off and called Elijah Wood’s mom/manager. He came in, nailed the line delivery, and the two of them impressed the hell out of the producers, who were big names in Hollywood. He already had a reputation as a good child actor, but after that awards ceremony, he became known as extremely professional, too. That was about the time Macaulay’s career started its rapid slide.

When hubbin got emotional when you retold what he had said when he proposed was just epic!! So much goodness.

[@bravehome4276]

Thanks for sharing Hubbyn. You two go great together! Trivia: The mannequins in the basement served two purposes: 1. Kevin's mom liked to sew, mannequins are useful for fittings. 2. There was a deleted scene where the mannequins came alive and scared Kevin when he went down to the basement. They were supposed to represent the kinds of 'shapes' that might make a little kid nervous when viewing them alone.

Ah, memories of flying in the days before the TSA even existed. No security to speak of, you could go back to the waiting area with your family and friends (none of whom were travelling) and just hang out until your flight left. The airline and airport staff were so much more friendly and helpful. It really is sad how much of the fun side (especially for kids) of the travel experience has been lost since 9/11.

[@SamuelBlack84]

It's for your benefit

[@LaBlueStateGirl]

Watch Airplaine!, made in 1980, to give you more of an idea of what it was like. It's played for comedy, but you were still putting your bags on the belt to go through x-ray and having to put all your metal in the bowl before you walked through the scanner. This was in place by the mid 70s because of a series of hijackings. Yes, your friends and family could meet you at the gate, but they had to go through the checkpoint too. There was a very short period of time when they couldn't during the first Gulf War though, but that was only a few months if I remember correctly.
