Kevin is eight years old, so it wouldn't be out of character at all for him to make such a mistake. Before Kevin's family go to France a repair man tells Kate the phone lines will take a few days to get fixed yet Kate manages to phone the police when the family arrive in Paris which should be impossible. The police Kate phones may be located some distance from their home, and the phone lines there were not damaged. As Harry is driving down the driveway after a burglary he is wearing his black knit cap.
Although Kevin could also have had cash in another one of his coat pockets or cash in his pants pocket that the concierge didn't take. Marv can simply pull a 100lb bag of cement cement that falls down and strikes him, defying much physics. When Kevin and his family rush through the airport to catch their flight to Miami they don't go through security.
Every Art The Clown Movie Ranked Worst To Best
I have motion detector lights in my carport and they constantly go on and off in the daytime if it's low-light and cars pass by fast enough. People walking their dogs can also activate it if they are close enough. They sometimes stay on until I have to manually turn the power off, then on again.
By law everyone must go through security before they can board their plane. When Kevin followed a man thinking it was his dad, a flight attendant lets him onto the plane, asking if that man was his dad. In reality, the flight attendant wouldn't have let a minor on the plane with someone they don't know very well as they would have to suggest waiting for his parents to get him. Both Kevin's plane and the plane his family are on seem to take off within seconds of each other.
Harry's Feathers Disappear
One of the best parts of the film is when Kevin uses an old black and white movietitled Angels With Filthy Souls to scare the pizza guy as well as the Wet Bandits. It was made for Home Alone and it's a reference to the 1938 movie Angels With Dirty Faces. Right before Harry and Marv step into a pile of little toy cars and falls, Harry's body had been covered in bird feathers. However, in the next scene, there are absolutely no feathers on his clothes or face. They mysteriously disappear without him washing his body or picking the feathers.
When Kevin goes to the front desk to check in, the desk clerk takes Peter's credit card. By regular standards, the clerk should have asked for some form of ID, or in this case, given the fact Kevin is a minor, she should've called the police instead. In the original Home Alone, when Harry burned his palm on the red-hot doorknob, he grabbed the doorknob with his hand sideways, as if he were shaking hands with someone. In the scene when Harry and Marv meet Kevin on the street in NYC, Harry shows Kevin his hand, and the 'M' scar is positioned vertically. In O'Hare Airport, the wrong Peter McCallister is seen purchasing at a kiosk with March 1992 issues of "Cosmopolitan", "Good Housekeeping", "Glamour", and "Vogue" magazines visible.
Kevin's Clothes Dry Up Magically
One of the biggest slip-ups during the making of Home Alone actually made it past the editors. Around the 55 minute and 27 second mark, Daniel Stern utters a swear word while trying to pull his shoe through the doggie door. The moment was quick enough to sneak into the final cut of the PG-rated film. Here are more behind-the-scenes facts about Home Alone you should know. When the criminals are supposed to be in a San Francisco airport, the scene was quite obviously filmed in Chicago's O'Hare airport. They then cleverly catch a flight to Chicago, and then come out at a different part of the O'Hare airport.
And no matter where a plane is headed all planes take off in the same direction. On the stairs where Marv and Harry fooled Kevin into thinking that they got hit by the paint cans, the front door is closed. When Kevin crosses himself before his macaroni and cheese dinner, he goes from right shoulder to left shoulder.
When running through the airport, a Marine in uniform walks by in the background. The Marine is in service alphas with enlisted rank on his sleeve, his cover has a quatrefoil on it, a uniform piece worn only by officers. When Kevin soaks the rope in kerosene, he later lights it on fire to deter Harry and Marv. Given the evaporative nature of kerosene, the volatility would be so low, the rope would barely light, if at all. After Cedric collides with Hector and Stone while chasing Kevin, a side-on shot shows him starting to get up, but a moment later he is lying on the floor unconscious. The traps and explosions make a lot of noise, but no one on the street block seems to notice.
In this movie, he tells the bellhop when he is escorted to his hotel room that he is ten years old. This movie takes place exactly one year later, so Kevin should be nine in this movie, not ten. When the camera is moving towards Marv like the bag of cement would, the falling rope is not visible in front of Marv like in the previous shot.
Even if he did testify, there is no reason to think his parents wouldn't know. In the scene where Harry and Marv are at the skating rink, the front of Marv's hair is constantly changing from shot to shot. It's either poofy or pulled back due to the earmuffs he's wearing. When Kevin is running away from Harry and Marv he buys strings of pearl necklaces, and pulls them apart on an icy corner.
Since New York has two airports, LaGuardia and JFK , a professional airline employee would make sure to announce the correct airport, especially in a multi-airport metro area like New York. Harry tells Kevin to throw down his camera and they'll leave him alone. But Kevin's camera is a Polaroid that prints out the pictures as they're taken, so he could throw down the camera, but he'd still have the incriminating photos. Immediately following the scene with the pigeon lady in the concert hall attic, Kevin walks toward the railing and a boom mic is visible as a reflection in the window to the left of the screen. Near the end of the movie when all the kids are in the penthouse room, Buzz yells to try to quiet everyone down.
When the Wet Bandits are stealing the charity money from Duncan's Toy Chest, Kevin takes their picture twice, but only one of these pictures comes out of the camera. When Kevin is first watching the movie in the hotel room the room service guy already has two scoops of ice cream in the dish and is putting in a third. Then later in the scene the guy asks, "Two scoops, sir?" and only one scoop is in the dish and is just putting the second scoop in. In the scene where Kevin lights the rope on fire, he turns to run away.
