[@tjasakosir8341]

@@KSATSpotting I guess I do :) Of course the rest dont even compare to the first 2 but I think they are still enjoyable to watch and definitly worth seeing at least once to fully see the whole Home alone franchise... but I get we all have different opinions/taste in stuff so if you hate the rest of them I totaly respect your opinion but I see it differently :)

[@kimwexler9393]

I get the shock at Kevin's sass towards his mum as an Irish millennial. If I'd said any of that to my mum I'd have been whacked. He said everything I WISHED I'd said to my parents when I was wee though.

[@savannah115]

Exactly the same.

[@hummus_exual]

Now that we are in the winter season, I think you might really enjoy "Anastasia". It's such a wonderful, funny, moving, yet criminally underrated film. You've never reacted to animated films (I think?), but it might be a beginning. 👀

[@aoife08619]

Once upon a December tho.....

[@Alysana2604]

I second Anastasia. I love it so much

[@dudetocartman]

The answer to your question about how much money they have, is they are well off, considering they live in a huge home. The father (Peter) works as an executive for a toy company called MacMillan Toys. He tends to be a big shot at what he does.

[@jonathansmith8672]

- The scene where Harry and Marv hang Kevin on the door hook hanger, and Harry bites Kevin's finger. Joe Pesci (Harry) actually did bite Macaulay Culkin's (Kevin) finger for real, and Macaulay still has the bite scar on his finger to this day. - The shot where Kevin screams as the van nearly hits him was actually shot in reverse. - The black-and-white gangster movie "Angels with Filthy Souls" that Kevin watches was actually not a real movie. It was made specifically for Home Alone. However, it is a reference to the 1938 film "Angels with Dirty Faces". - Buzz's girlfriend was actually a BOY dressed up as a girl, since they didn't want to make fun of a girl. The boy is the son of the movie's art director! - Joe Pesci was working on "Goodfellas" at the time. Because this was a kid's movie he was working on, he wasn't allowed to swear and instead, he was only allowed to yell in gibberish. He even had a swear jar with him on set. - They originally wanted to put a mechanical tarantula on Daniel Stern's (Marv) face, but 1990s technology didn't have the money to make a convincing one. So they decided to put a real one on Daniel Stern's face, but he wasn't allowed to scream with the spider on his face (Otherwise the spider would've got scared and stung Daniel in the face), so Daniel mimed his scream and his real scream was added in post-production. Also, in most of the scenes with the booby traps, Daniel Stern was wearing rubber feet to keep his feet warm while walking in the snow. The ornaments he steps on while climbing in through the window are made of sugar glass. The nail that Daniel steps on on the tar-covered stairs is made of rubber. - No, Joe Pesci (Harry) did not get his head blown by a blowtorch. Since there was no CGI, the crew used a very interesting technique that was used for a long time in theatres, amusement parks, etc. They used what's called the "Pepper's ghost" illusion, where they set a mannequins head ablaze, and then they use mirrors to superimpose the image onto Harry's head. ;) Which fact did you enjoy? I can't believe you've guys never seen Home Alone. It's one of my 6 ALL-TIME favorite Christmas movies. That movie is inside my heart! Good reaction, by the way. 🤩😍😚🤗☺👍👍👍

[@jochendamm]

Mom sold her soul to the devil (Gus, that Polka guy) because her trip was a nightmare on its own without any benefit. She literally came five minutes before all others.

[@jneumy566]

Wait. He cleaned up the entire house from all the traps and everything, but he couldn't clean up Buzz's room?

[@michelmorio8026]

I wouldn’t clean my jerk‘s brother room either 😅

[@RivalReacts]

😂😂 especially considering Buzz has the size to take his head off

[@jonathancampbell5231]

I mean, that's not really a "cleaning" job so much as a "repairing" job...

[@Сайтамен]

He broke his shelves.

[@limalmathew3967]

Well ,that's saying something about his brother..

[@kimwexler9393]

I really appreciate your honesty in that you'd seen this before but couldn't remember most of it. Refreshing considering I watched another 'first reaction' to this wherein they were prempting every moment.

[@stearinlys]

Can¨t believe that you¨re cracking Harry Potter jokes. I LOVE IT.

[@hellowhat890]

5:47 Yes, you did spot it correctly. Kevin's ticket was thrown away by mistake. XD

[@SirPaladin]

22:36- Pesci actually DID bite the poor kids' finger here by accident. Culkin still has the scar.

[@hellowhat890]

John Candy's appearance as Gus was filmed in less than a day or a week. In fact, he improvised 90% of his script if I'm not mistaken. You should definitely see Planes, Trains and Automobiles. My family also thinks Cool Runnings on Disney Plus would be a great recommendation too! They're not Christmas movies but we watch them during the holidays because the snow locations.

[@madzec]

Wasnt John Candys role in first Gremlins movie one that was filmed in less then a day???

[@IzsakJoraszZ9]

Merry Christmas, Rival! Great video as always! :D

[@RivalReacts]

Merry christmas to you too!

[@jonathancampbell5231]

Joe Pesci is Harry, the burglar with the golden tooth. He's in Raging Bull, Goodfellas (where he won an Oscar), Casino, My Cousin Vinny, 8 Heads in a Duffle Bag, The Irishman, and the Lethal Weapon movies (2-4). A bit of movie trivia- the villain of the first Lethal Weapon and the dad in Home Alone share the same name- Peter McCallister. A wild fan theory is that they are set in the same universe and that the two characters are related (father and son), and that's how the family have so much money and where Kevins' sociopathic tendencies come from.

[@konstantinosmichos5749]

also there is a theory that Kevin McCallister is the Jigsaw killer

[@theshadowfax239]

My Cousin Vinny would be a great movie to react to.

[@jonathancampbell5231]

Technically it wasn't a pre-9/11 thing; there was another attempted attack a few years afterward that involved explosives hidden in liquids. This plan was thwarted, but this is the real reason you can't bring your own food or drink onto airplanes anymore.

[@KSATSpotting]

always ruining shit, now I gotta pay $5 for water lmao

[@elizabethstrong6057]

Funny you mentioned Harry Potter, the same composer did the music for both (well for at least the first 1-2 HPs, anyways)

[@Сайтамен]

And same director.

[@Lycanthromancer1]

Home Alone 1&2, the Harry Potter movies, basically ALL of the Star Wars movies, Jaws 1&2, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Jurassic Park 1,2,&3 (& The Lost World), the original 1970s Superman, the original Indiana Jones movies, E.T. the Extra Terrestrial, Hook, Superman Returns... John Williams is an amazing composer, and he's done some of the greatest movie soundtracks of some of the greatest movies of all time. And he's been doing it for the last ~70 years.

[@ForThoseThatHaventReadTheBook]

fuller and kevin are real life siblings

[@mangadude8414]

"She's being a Karen" yo that made my day

[@HeartlessMisery]

If you have not watched Hook, watch it! Julia Roberts, Bob Hoskins, Robin Williams, Maggie Smith! Amazing cast and fantastic story.

[@hellowhat890]

Kevin had a plate of Mac & Cheese just after his preparations. But at 21:09 it changes to a microwave dinner plate on the table to the left. XD

[@amandawade7803]

I always found it funny that the M is branded on Harry's hand straight up, but he grabbed the handle sideways.

[@michelmorio8026]

I believe I read years ago that John Candy (‚Gus‘) performance was all improvised/not scripted... he was one day on set and just did what we got 😂

[@jonathancampbell5231]

The funeral parlor story wasn't scripted but the rest of it was. He was also only paid $414 for the part, which he only filmed as a favour to John Hughes. He was reportedly offered a cut of the profits but nobody expected the film to do well, so he turned it down. He could have made millions for one day of work.

[@moonflowersenna]

HAHAHAHA sergeant Balzak im deaddddd. Seen this movie so many times but for some reason i never noticed even though im Dutch loooool

[@agenttheater5]

Thinking of doing the other two grinch movies - the animated one Kevin was watching and the new one by Illumination (it's actually fairly decent, good portrayal of anxiety)

[@Osric44]

18:03 "What is Sheboygan?" I take it you've never been to Wisconsin, have you?

[@RivalReacts]

I have 100% never been near Wisconsin 😂

[@Osric44]

I can tell you, it’s no Madison, or Milwaukee, or Green Bay... they claim to be the “Malibu” of Wisconsin. Which to me doesn’t make sense but it is what it is I’ve only been there once.

[@agenttheater5]

Thinking of watching Home Alone 2 and 3? 3 is a lot better than some people say, but trust me, don't bother with 4 (they even get the names and appearances of the robbers mixed up, at least with 3 they did a whole new storyline instead of trying to redo the whole thing badly).

[@sandpiperr]

I gotta say I loved seeing you laugh like a 12 year old at "Balzac" It is a real surname, but it also sounds like an English term for the same thing you mentioned it meaning in Dutch, so every kid who hears that name laughs.

[@LordVolkov]

To get a grasp of Joe Pesci's talent, check out My Cousin Vinny and Goodfellas. He's a tiny delight.

[@justtin21]

There was a fan theory made for Kevin's father about what his profession was and a few said The best Lawyer in Chicago and the other one was an Irish Mob lawyer or a High ranking member of the Chicago Irish mob like a Caporegimes or something and Sheboygan is a real town in Wisconsin that's like an hour away outside of Milwaukee
