>> Crazy Nate: Hey there you little trout sniffers.
It’s Christmas time, and it’s the only time of year I can get away with talking about
a Christmas movie without everyone loosing their minds.
>> Kevin: Then he called me a Trout Sniffer.
>> Crazy Nate: All the Easter eggs, secrets, and mistakes, Ho Ho Ho gents and gentlets,
it’s time for everything you missed in Home Alone 2, Lost in New York.
(intro music plays)
After the fame from Home Alone’s first success, trying to make a sequel was increasingly challenging
due to all the new fans and paparazzi.
Filming at the airport was an incredible nightmare, so they filmed in February in order to avoid
all the travel craziness and of course try to avoid some of the fans, because the airport
was actually open during the filming.
>> Kevin: Wait!
>> Crazy Nate: And if you look right here you can see the yellow tape that they used
to keep the real travelers from getting in the view of the camera shot.
Macaulay Culkin was so famous at this point in his career that even Michael Jackson visited
him on the set.
The movie was almost called Alone Again.
Which obviously it wasn't which is probably good for all the future HOME ALONe's.
However when filming, they limited the amount of time spent in the house because the owners
of the house in real life jacked up the price to film in their house to cash out on their
success.
And even though Pepsi was the drink of choice in Home Alone, when it Came to Home Alone
2 Fuller seems to have changed his ways for the worse for coca cola.
>> Uncle Frank: Hey hey, easy on the fluids pal, the rubber sheets are packed.
>> Crazy Nate: In the first Home Alone Kevin's family went to Paris while Kevin was stuck
home alone.
So in attempt to throw off some of the audience even though the cover spoiled where Kevin
went, Kevin is sitting on a plane next to a guy who's speaking French,
>> French Guy: (translated) I’m from France, I’m a tourist here.
It’s the first time I come to America, can’t you tell me if there’s a good restaurant?
Maybe your parents know a good place.
Why don’t you answer me?
...
>> Crazy Nate: which is what most people speak in Paris.
>> Marv: We're the Sticky Bandits.
>> Harry: Real cute.
>> Crazy Nate: Marv makes the universal decision that they're going to be called the Sticky
Bandits, and when coming up the steps, look closely at Marv as he's making his little
sticky glove, it looks like he already has some coins on his hand before he ever even
put his hand into the coin bin.
Don't worry though, there’s also an easter egg in this donation scene.
The background, focus you must.
That guy appears to be a cameo of Frank Oz, who is most famous for the voice of Yoda.
In the park when Kevin escapes from the Sticky Bandits by hiding in the trunk of a carriage,
Harry and Marv are distracted by mistaking this kid as Kevin.
If you think it’s because they are crazy, it’s not.
Look closely at this kids beanie, if you remember it’s almost the exact same beanie that Kevin
wore in Home Alone 1.
This location at the park was also the same location used in the movie Mr. Deeds, and
more recently the Movie John Wick Chapter 2.
>> Marv: He’s in the park, he’s alone, kids are a scared of the park.
Sound familiar, right?
>> Harry: Yeah.
>> Crazy Nate: It should because he said almost the exact same thing in Home Alone.
>> Marv: Kids are a scared of the dark.
>> Crazy Nate: There’s a lot of rumors online about what Peter McCallister does for a living
to be able to afford to pay for everyone's vacation, own a big home, and have so many
kids, and still not be broke.
But if he’s so rich, you might be asking yourself why then, were they staying in such
a crummy hotel in Florida?
After all Peter even paid for first class tickets for all the adults.
Cha Ching!
>> Peter McCallister: Because Kevin has my wallet.
>> Crazy Nate: If you remember Kevin has his dad’s wallet including his cash and credit
cards.
Even if Peter did reserve a hotel by phone in advanced, which he probably did, he would
still need to show a major credit card at the time of arrival in order to get to the
room, just like Kevin did.
>> Kevin: Wow, it worked.
>> Crazy Nate: So, cheap skate Uncle Frank had to pay for the hotel, and that’s the
why they're staying in the cheapest hotel in the entire state of Florida, with a knock
off version of the S.S. Minnow parked out front.
>> Uncle Frank: Didn't look this bad on our honeymoon.
>> Crazy Nate: If you listen closely, that’s why he's saying it didn’t look this bad
on our honeymoon because he’s actually been there before.
In the first movie Kevin watches a fake movie they made for Home Alone called Angels with
filthy souls, so for this movie he’s watching another fake movie called Angels with even
filthier souls.
>> Bad Guy: Alright, I believe you, but my Tommy gun don't!
(sign reads 'Survey Time')
>> Crazy Nate: Out of the first 3 Home Alone movies, which one is your favorite?
Vote.
>> Harry: There's nobody dumb enough to knock off a toy store on Christmas Eve.
>> Marv: Oh yes there is.
>> Crazy Nate: I noticed a lot of people ask google if Duncan's Toy Chest is a real store?
And the answer is no.
This fictional store was named after the Executive Producer Duncan Henderson.
And the outside of the Toy Store isn’t even in New York City, that’s right it was filmed
in Illinois.
This is the Rookery Building in Downtown Chicago.
Also all the kids that appeared in the Toy Store scene got to pick their favorite toy
as part of their payment for being in the movie.
However, that Monster Sap Soap isn’t what Kevin kept for his payment.
If you remember he used that as the green slime that made Harry fall off the ladder,
and Marv slip on the floor.
He also probably didn’t keep the two turtle doves, especially since one of therm's broken.
No, Kevin got to keep the Talk Boy with part of his payment, even though rumor has it the
Talk Boy didn’t even work.
Of course I wouldn’t know, I never owned a Talk Boy, and now days if you try to buy
a Talk Boy they’re 100’s of dollars on eBay.
>> Kevin: Yes....
Subscribe
>> Crazy Nate: And no he didn’t give the broken turtle dove to the crazy bird lady,
through Hollywood magic they both got to keep their very own unbroken turtle dove.
In Mr. Duncan's Toy Store we see a man holding a little girl.
That is Chris Columbus.
No not the Explorer Christopher Columbus.
Chris Columbus the Director from Home Alone 1 and 2, and that is his daughter Eleanor
Columbus that he's holding.
If you're wondering where she gets her red hair from since obviously she didn’t get
it from her dad.
That’s because she got it from her mother Monica Devereux who was also in Home Alone
2, as the hotel reservations operator.
If you remember from my video about the first Home Alone, she was in that movie as well
as the flight attendant.
Remember Santa's little helper from Home Alone?
This elf was played by Sandra Macat, and this time in Home Alone 2 instead of helping Kevin
Sandra's helping his family get on the plane.
Another shout out we find to the first Home Alone is when Kevin was talking to Old man
Marley he mentions Dinosaur pajamas.
>> Kevin: Yeah, I have a friend who got nailed cause there was a rumor he wore dinosaur pajamas.
>> Crazy Nate: If you look at Fuller at the end of the movie he’s wearing dinosaur pajamas.
I wonder if Fuller was the kid he was talking about in the first Home Alone.
When Picking who would play the roles of the characters in the first Home Alone, Ally Sheedy
was one of the top picks for Kevin's mom Kate McCallister, but obviously she didn’t get
the final vote.
>> Allison Reynolds: HA!
>> Crazy Nate: However she got to have a role in Home Alone 2, as a Ticket Agent in New
York.
She’s also famous for being in the Breakfast Club.
Probably the biggest lie in the history of making movies is what Cedric the Bellman said
about the slice of Fruit Stripe Gum that Kevin gave him the day before.
>> Cedric: That wont be necessary sir.
I still have some tip left over.
>> Crazy Nate: Anyone that's ever chewed Fruit Stripe gum in the history of chewing gum knows
that the flavor would of been gone before he even made it back to the elevator, and
the gum itself would of probably dissolved before he made it back to the lobby.
Along with all the Lights coming on to let the audience know that things are about to
get serious.
Another shout out to Home Alone was good old Mr. Grinch.
>> Singer: It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas.
>> Crazy Nate: Another thing that makes Home Alone a Home Alone, is having snow.
Unfortunately, just like in the first Home Alone the weather didn't cooperate.
They had to get snow blowers and make fake snow in the park, then unfortunately that
same weekend they had a real life blizzard.
In fact some of the cameras even froze.
Another requirement for making a good Home Alone is having Marv scream.
(Marv screams)
Fun Fact, Marv is played by Daniel Stern, of course you already knew that.
>> Billy Madison: I know what you're saying, you're so smart.
>> Crazy Nate: and he also screams like that in real life, but did you also know that he’s
a YouTuber.
(Marv screams)
(goat screams)
>> Crazy Nate: Pigeon Lady seems to be a copy of the Bird Lady in Mary Poppins.
(Kevin screams)
Probably one of the creepiest easter eggs though is Mr. Hector.
Why is he an easter egg.
It starts when Kevin got a clown to play with in the pool.
>> Kate McCallister: Oh, did you see what grandma Penelope sent you for the trip?
>> Kevin: Um, let me guess, Donald Duck slippers?
>> Kate McCallister: Ha, close, an inflatable clown to play with in the pool.
>> Kevin: How exciting.
>> Crazy Nate: Then IT completes as an easter egg when Kevin scares off Mr. Hector from
the bathroom with IT in the bathtub.
This is a scary easter egg because Out of all the inflatables IT could have been, IT
was a clown,
>> Scary voice: Hello.
>> Crazy Nate: The reason it was a clown is because Mr. Hector was played by Tim Curry,
and Tim Curry was Pennywise the clown in the original IT movie
>> Mr. Hector: Yes sir, I was.
>> Pennywise: Aren't you going to say hello?
>> Crazy Nate: Which was released a few years prior to filming Home Alone 2.
>> Pennywise: Very wise in deed.
>> Crazy Nate: This movie was made in part by Hughes entertainment, and their logo is
basically a star with a line on either side.
Just like what we see in the amazing Christmas tree scene at the end, if you look at the
star, the building behind it has all the lights out except for one window on either side of
the star making the Hughes entertainment logo.
The Plaza Hotel also had carpet everywhere, and rumor has it they had to rip the carpet
out in this area so Kevin could slide across the floor.
and Donald Trump liked this idea so much that he left the carpet out permanently.
Why does that matter?
Because he owned the Plaza Hotel.
That’s also probably why we see him in the lobby.
>> Kevin: Excuse me, where's the lobby?
>> Donald Trump: Down the hall and to the left.
>> Kevin: Thanks.
>> Crazy Nate: Or, perhaps this is a prediction from the Illuminati.
Since out of all the hotels in New York, Presidents stay at this hotel.
>> Cedric: You know Herbert Hoover once stayed here on this floor.
>> Kevin: The vacuum guy?
>> Cedric: No, the president...
PRESIDENT
>> Crazy Nate: Ironically though Trump managed to Trump his own hotel.
How?
The Plaza Hotel doesn’t actually have a pool.
That's right, this scene was filmed in four seasons hotel in Chicago, not the Plaza Hotel
in New York.
Oh, and Trump doesn’t even own this hotel anymore, he actually sold it for about 100
million dollars LESS than what he paid for it, because that's a good deal.
If you don't want to lose a hundred million dollars, make sure you subscribe, let me know
what movie you want to talk about next, and remember most importantly of all gents and
gentlets.
>> Mr. Hector: I love you.
>> Crazy Nate: share a smile, they are contagious.
>> Bad Guy: You gotta do better than that.
>> Group of employees: I love you.
