Home Alone (1990) | First Time Watching! | Movie REACTION!

The second one is ABSOLUTELY worth it. After that… I think they were made for a younger audience

[@LightStreak567]

The fourth one definitely was, and the worst part about the fourth one is it has Kevin but played by a different actor and pretends that the second one never happened. I haven't seen the fifth and sixth one yet. All I know is like the third one, they have a different child protagonist.

[@Jumpman67]

If you want another great John Candy movie check out Uncle Buck. Written and Directed by John Hughes who also wrote and directed Planes Trains and automobiles. John Hughes didn't direct Home alone but he wrote it. Uncle Buck came out the year before Home Alone. Uncle Buck feels a lot like the other two movies.

[@martyklestadt6766]

And I think Macaulay Culkin (who played Kevin in Home Alone) is in Uncle Buck also!

[@ciphernine7824]

Daniel Stern (Marv) is terrified of spiders, and initially refused to have the spider anywhere near him. But he eventually told the director he would only do the "spider-scene" for one single take. His high-pitched scream is absolutely real.

[@christopherking4932]

I heard the director told him they were going to use a fake spider and actually used a real one to get that real pure fear on his face.

[@MrTech226]

@@christopherking4932 I read that Stern working with spider wrangler's Barry The Tarantula. Yes, tarantula's name is Barry. Prior to the scene, Stern had to get use to Barry. Stern didn't want to scare Barry because spider might bite him when he did his famous scream.

[@bloodwolfgaming9269]

They initially told Daniel Stern they would be using a fake spider for the scene but at the last second, used the real one without letting Stern know. The look of terror on his face was real, but he couldn't actually scream because he didn't want to spook the tarantula and end up getting bit. So, he had to scream silently and then later, they recorded him screaming and added it back in over the initial scene.

[@christopherking4932]

@@bloodwolfgaming9269 oh ok 👌

[@Sarah_Gravydog316]

no the scream was dubbed after because a real scream would have scared the spider Daniel said "You can put it on me ONCE."

[@souldiving4197]

I follow around 100 reaction channels but you guys became my favorite channel today

[@MLJ7956]

Great reaction you two... Macaulay Culkin's (Kevin McAllister) character was actually inspired by the character he played a year earlier in 'Uncle Buck', where he does very similar things & behaviors. In fact, it was John Hughes himself (who wrote both films and directed Uncle Buck) that suggested both Macaulay & John Candy for these parts in this film to director Chris Columbus. And it was Hughes who gave this film to Chris Columbus to direct after being fired off of National Lampoons Christmas Vacation (due to creative differences....Hughes also wrote Christmas Vacation). And FYI Chris Columbus also wrote Gremlins. 😉 Oscar winning composer John Williams (Star Wars, Jaws, Indiana Jones, Superman: The Movie, ET, and countless others) did the musical scores for Home Alone 1 & 2.

[@nsasupporter7557]

Yes, Uncle Buck is the film that would lead to Home Alone subsequently

A doctor watched this movie and did a great video he commented how much pain these guys would really be in, the real extent of thier injuries and even if most would survive all this torture. He estimated if not dead by a miracle they would surely be in the hospital for a couple of months. He said the most dangerous one was the falling down the stairs. He said how they fell surely thats 2 broken backs but the neck snapped back would have been fatal. Makes you think about it in a whole different way

[@maplenutsreact]

Whoooa! 2 broken backs and a neck snapped. Yeah, this sounds more like a horror movie now haha

Kevin McAllister grows up to become Jigsaw from the SAW movies.

[@hellomark1]

You might find the nail in the foot to be the worst part, but as someone that's always had back problems, watching them repeatedly fall down the icy stairs is mild torture for me to watch :) This and A Christmas Story are the two best Christmas movies!

If you guys want to really see his range as a child actor, check out "The Good Son". With both Macaulay Culkin & Elijah Woods as child actors! They carry the whole film and its alot more serious in nature! That said, Home Alone 2 is well worth the watch! But Home Alone & The Good Son are on complete opposite ends of the spectrum lol!

My favorite John Candy movies are: The Great Outdoors, Cool Runnings, Spaceballs, and Uncle Buck. Fun fact: My aunt and cousin were filmed as background actors during a couple of movie scenes for The Great Outdoor. My cousin's scene was cut and didn't make the theatrical edition of the movie (it was supposed to be when the main characters were at the lake). My aunt can be seen briefly in the background during one of the bar scenes. She's walking behind John Candy and Dan Ackroyd wearing a purple sweater. The movie was filmed close to where my family members lived in the Southern California area.

‘Uncle Buck’ is a must John Candy movie!

Earlier this month, Macaulay Culkin gotten his Star on Hollywood Walk of Fame. His family was there including his movie mother played by Catherine O'Hara.

[@jerodast]

Aw that's nice. Interesting career he had. I just rewatched _Saved!_ which I feel like was his last semi-major role as a child/teen actor. (A middle of the road movie with a lot of great young actors in it.)

[@long-timesci-fienthusiast9626]

Hi Chandra & Jordan, personally, I like the first 3 Home Alone films, even though the 3rd is a different family & "crooks". I think, because the young kid get`s to torment twice as many "crooks" in creative way`s. Great to see someone else discover the joy this wonderful Xmas classic brings. :)

Nicely done you two! Culkin's co-stars also talked a lot about how mature he was for his age so it's great that you brought that up. For John Candy, my favourites are Spaceballs, Cool Runnings, and a rare dramatic role for him is Only the Lonely.

[@squidkid2]

Uncle Buck is a great John Candy film and it's directed by John Huges and stars the kid in this movie.

[@dgirl786]

John Hughes' 'Baby's Day Out' (1994) doesn't get recommended enough. Underrated little gem. 🧡

[@cuestaverde]

Home Alone 2 is definitely worth a watch. Other Christmas movies I would highly recommend are National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation, the original Miracle on 34th St, and It's a wonderful life. Uncle Buck is a can't miss classic that also features Macaulay Culkin.

I didn't notice when I first saw this but the side of the work van that Harry and Marv drive reads: "OH-KAY Plumbing & Heating" The film Joe Pesci did the year before this was "Lethal Weapon 2" where his character (Leo Getz) constantly says, "Okay, okay, okay." Apparently it was an inside joke. So funny.

6:16 She's not very good. She counted the neighbor once and herself twice. When I was young, I thought Kevin flooded his neighbor's house, and I thought that was a bit messed up. I didn't realize it was the Wet Bandits. It sounds as if you haven't watched "Uncle Buck." I don't even want to say who's in it because it could be a nice surprise.

[@BigGator5]

"You guys give up? Or are you thirsty for more?" Merry Christmas! ✝️ 🙏 🎄 🎁 Fun Fact: Theatrical movie debut of Hope Davis, Paula Newsome, Kristin Minter, and Tracy J. Connor. Family Affair Fact: The boy who played Kevin's cousin Fuller is Macaulay Culkin's little brother Kieran Culkin in his feature film debut. All In Fact: Joe Pesci and Daniel Stern felt indifferent about the movie's potential during shooting, so they intentionally gave over-the-top performances, neither one of them believed this movie would become a massive success. Mrs. Doubtfire Award Fact: The picture Kevin (Macaulay Culkin) finds of Buzz's (Devin Ratray) girlfriend was a picture of a boy made up to look like a girl, because director Chris Columbus thought it would be too cruel to make fun of a girl like that. The boy that was used in the photo was art director Dan Webster's son. What Script Fact: The line "You guys give up, or are you thirsty for more?" was improvised by Macaulay Culkin. Marv's lines "Why the hell are you dressed like a chicken?" and "Maybe he committed suicide?" were improvised by Daniel Stern. John Candy filmed his part in only one day, albeit a twenty-three-hour day. Almost all of his dialogue was improvised. Thank You Very Much Fact: There is a legend that Elvis Presley (who died in 1977) made a cameo in this movie. Many of those who believe that Elvis is still alive maintained that the heavily bearded man standing in the background of the scene where Mrs. McCallister is shouting at the desk clerk (just before she meets John Candy) as Elvis. They asserted for years that the man is in the correct age range (Elvis would have been around 55 at the time), makes a head movement that Elvis frequently made during concerts, and that no record has ever been found about this particular actor's participation in the movie. The theory was finally debunked in 2018, when investigative journalists identified the extra as a man called Gary Richard Grott, who had passed away from a heart attack in February 2016. Grott's family was able to confirm that it was Grott in the movie, and also revealed that he had been working regularly as an extra on several Chris Columbus' movies, although Home Alone (1990) was the first one that he actually appeared in.

I love that John Candy and Macaulay were reunited in this after Uncle Buck. Even though they weren't in a scene together, close enough. Also the funeral scene by Candy was completely improvised, which makes it even more hilarious. And Marv's spider death scream is legit. He had arachnophobia. The greatest crime in this certainly...is that Kevin didn't even get to eat his Macaroni and Cheese....tragedy.
