>> Crazy Nate: Merry Christmas Gents and Gentlets, to help bring in this holiday season, I couldn’t
think of a more traditional movie to talk about than home alone.
Without wasting time playing any type of jokes on you, let’s get straight into it.
Here’s everything you missed in the the movie Home Alone.
[intro music plays]
We don’t find very many easter eggs in this video, but there are a few of them and we're
still going to have fun pointing them out today, along with some fun random facts about
the creation of the movie that you probably didn’t know.
Starting off with my two favorite characters in Home alone Harry and Marv
We know Marv has some weird habits, like sticking trophies from the robberies to the dashboard
of the fan,
>> Marv: Harry, it's our calling card.
>> Crazy Nate: and he likes flooding each of the house they robbed with water plugging
all the sinks.
>> Harry: You're sick.You know that?
You're really sick.
>> Crazy Nate: Harry seems to be a little bit upset about these weird habits that Marv
has, however it’s possible that not only is Marv leaving a calling card,
but he’s creating more future income for them, since they are technically a plumbing
service company that specializes in Flood Control Experting.
>> Marv: You're right!
>> Crazy Nate: Experting... that's a word.
>> Megan McCallister: Congratulations, you're an idiot.
>> Crazy Nate: Speaking of that van, it looks like Kevin Just barely DODGED getting ran
over.
Regardless of how annoying Kevin may appear to be, they wern't going to risk injuring
him so this scene was actually filmed in reverse, then they simply flipped it and made it go
forward.
Hollywood magic.
Usually in movies though, fake phone numbers always start off with 555, not J/k or Just
Kidding.
But if you look at the letters on your phone.
You will see J and K are actually another way to say 5.
So it still is 555.
Not kidding.
>> Kate McCallister: Peter!
>> Kate and Peter: We slept in!
>> Crazy Nate: Theoretically Home Alone should of never happened though because this alarm
clock here has a built in Battery Back-Up.
Way to go Panasonic.
Speaking of Panasonic, We see a lot of brands in here, however most of it if not all of
it was not paid product placement, at least according to the Director Chris Columbus at
least.
One thing they did film for in hopes of getting a product placement was when Kevin prayed
over his Mac and cheese, they also filmed another version where he said thanks for this
Kraft Mac and cheese.
However Kraft didn’t want to cough up the money to be in the placement.
So we get generic brand Mac and cheese.
Of course this means they chose to drink Pepsi because they wanted to, why because pepsi's
better than coke.
Of course this is based on what the Director said, the only way that we could possibly
prove that it was or wasn’t paid product placement would be if we broke into the Fox
Studios and checked for ourselves in the records.
I don't think we're cut out for the jobs ourselves though.
I think we're going to have to hire someone, and I don’t think Harry and Marie are quite
cut out for this job.
>> Harry: Where you going?
Disney World?
Disney Land?
>> Crazy Nate: One thing that Kevin had to learn for the movie that was wasted was his
piano lessons.
That's right they taught him to play the piano.
Because originally in this scene right here he was going to be playing a piano, when they
had this great party going on but instead they thought that was a tad bit boring so
they gave him a bunch of strings and made him Pinocchio it up in there.
In case you don’t know what that is hanging around his neck by the way, that’s a laugh
box toy that was trendy in the 90's.
>> Harry: What's so funny?
>> Crazy Nate: We all saw Michael Jordan taking a ride on the train.
Kevin got that from a poster in Buzzes room though and he obviously cut it out.
He even cut out the part where the basketball was.
However later on in the movie when Kevin is running away from the bad guys, we can see
that poster magically reconnnected itself to it's original condition.
Ooops.
One thing most of you didn’t realize about Kevin and that we never really get to see
or barely even hear for that matter is that Kevin actually has a dog.
What?!
If you listen closely to Kevin’s mom when she's on the phone in the beginning of the
movie she mentions they put the dog in a little doggie hotel for their little vacation trip
so they didn't have to take it to Paris.
>> Kate: No we're not bringing the dog, we're putting it in the kennel.
>> Crazy Nate: However we see no signs of a dog bowl or water bowl for that matter,
anywhere in this movie.
Maybe the dog just drinks from the toilet and eats from the table, Zelda does.
You know who else wasn’t there?
Kevin…
What?
Kevin?
Yep, that’s right.
There are a lot of really strict child laws for actors on how many hours a day they can
perform and how late they can perform too.
How much education you have to give them while they're performing so they don't fall behind
on their school work, a lot of boring legal stuff.
So a lot of these scenes late at night they had to build the sets to be able to put Kevin
in the scene where they can make it look like it's artificially night time.
It was also winter time when they filmed so it started getting dark around 4:30 and they
can pretend it was much much later than it really was.
You can watch Home Alone any time of the year, but it seems to be a little more magical if
you watch it around Christmas.
Part of that is because they layered the entire movie with subtle Christmas decorations, and
seasonal traditions.
All the way down to painting the walls green.
And no Christmas would feel completely like Christmas without a little bit of snow.
However when it doesn't snow in Hollywood, you make it snow.
How?
with potato flakes.
That’s right sorry to bust your bubble but that was fake snow falling from the sky.
You can always tell the fake stuff from real stuff because powdered potato flakes turns
yellowish color when it's clumped together on the ground.
When Harry burns his hand on the door this is a little easter egg to Raiders of the Lost
ark.
(screaming from burning hand)
Santa drove a crummy piece of junk car, unless of course that’s the kinda of car you drive,
then it’s a great reliable machine.
However when the car stalled that wasn’t actually in the script, it really did break
down in real life, and the camera crew all started laughing, thankfully Kevin didn’t
turn around to see what all the fuss was about, and good old saint nick just played right
along with it.
Making it look like it was all part of the show.
P.S.
Don't smoke, it's bad for your health.
Are you ready for todays survey time?
Alrighty, here we go.
If you were left home alone and someone was trying to brake in to your house, what would
you do?
A. Call the police, 2 call a family member or close friend.
Or D. Try to defend yourself?
Remember Fuller?
You know, that was the kid that wet the bed all the time and loved Pepsi.
He’s actually Kevins brother in real life.
That’s right, Macaulay and Kieran are brothers.
What’s not real though is that little chair.
It's actually made of rubber, so that way they don't hurt the soda drinking bed wetting
little Fuller.
Also When Marv is walking through the snow you can see his feet look really big for some
reason.
That’s because he has rubber shoes on that look like feet while walking in through the
snow shooting take after take after take they couldn’t have him going around barefoot
all the time.
The movie really likes rubber though.
When Marv steps on the nail… the nail is made of rubber.
But for some reason even knowing that, it still is painful to watch.
(Marv screams)
What isn’t rubber though is the Christmas ornaments.
But that wasn’t glass either, it was actually “candy glass”.
(Marv screams)
which isn’t as dangerous as real glass bulbs, but it’s still somewhat painful to step
on.
And that's his real feet, not rubber feet and not a stuntman.
They saved the stuntman for the stunts where they actually fell on concrete steps.
Those wern't padded steps they landed on.
(Marv falls down steps)
Speaking of Christmas Ornaments, here’s the Christmas ornament scene that Boss baby
copied
but if you look closely at the bulb you can see that little dark spot by Kevin is actually
the camera lens.
Old man Marley at first seems to be a creepy old man that's a murderer.
But as time goes on, Marley and Kevin get to know each other and he turns out to be
quite a nice old guy.
If you look closer you might noticed the cut seems to go on a journey just like Kevin and
Marley's relationship does.
The first time they see each other in person, Marley cut his hand raw and bleeding, in it’s
worst possible moment ever.
when they break the ice and get to know each other a little bit we see the wound has a
bandage on it, and it's no longer bleeding.
Just like their relationship.
>> Marley: Merry Christmas.
>> Crazy Nate: Then at the end Marley finally gets to see his family, and it looks like
him and Kevin are now good friends.
We see the wound has completely healed.
Their friendship and his family are now completely whole.
haha cheesy Hallmark moment.
(fart noise)
One thought I had though is why in the world would this guy spend his time and money and
energy buying salt to de-ice all these sidewalks for everyone?
Here’s a thought though,
in the end we see Marley resolves the matters with his son, and he gets to see his son,
his daughter in-law, and his granddaughter, who we don’t see though is Marleys wife.
I think what happened is she slipped and fell on a patch of ice, and she obviously tragically
died.
Now he spends his days getting ice off the sidewalks so no one else suffers.
Perhaps this is even the reason why him and his son had a massive fight years ago before
Kevin even showed up.
>> Marley: Wanna know the real reason?
>> Crazy Nate: Maybe it's because his son was supposed to shovel the driveway and he
didn’t, that’s why his mom slipped and fell, and his dad blamed him over the tragedy.
>> Marley: Years back, before you and your family moved on the block I had an arguement
with my son, we lost our tempers, and I said I didn't care to see him anymore.
He said the same, and we haven't spoken to eachother since.
Now thankfully though they healed and they moved on together as a family.
>> Kate: What?
>> Peter: No kidding?
What a funny guy.
>> Crazy Nate: Regardless of the reason though, Marley spends so much time and effort clearing
the sidewalks so people can walk on it, then Kevin goes off and walks in the street.
Remember Buzz’s Girlfriend Woaf?
>> Kevin McCallister: Buzz, your girlfriend Woaf!
>> Crazy Nate: Well she wasn’t actually a she.
It’s actually a picture of a he.
The director didn’t want a girl to feel shamed every year Christmas came around and
she would see her self in the holiday videos as a creepy girlfriend,
Speaking of the director.
Chris Columbus, the director, put a lot of his own family in the movie.
This lady right here on the plane is his mother-in-law, and the baby in her lap is his Daughter.
The flight attendant on the plane is his wife Monica.
Then later on when Kevin is walking by a family packed house we see his Nephew Bob.
Also the cop that is sent out to the house to check on poor little Kevin is also related
to Chris.
>> Cop: There's no one home, the house is secure, tell him to count their kids again.
>> Crazy Nate: He’s the Directors father in law.
The driver from the airport shuttle was Pete, not quite a relative, but he's the Directors
real life personal driver for both Home Alone and Home alone 2.
>> Mr. Murphy: Hi, you've reached the Murphys, please leave a message after you hear the
beep.
>> Crazy Nate: The voice here in the voicemail is a recording was Raja Gosnel, and he’s
the editor of the movie.
>> Marv: You're right!
>> Crazy Nate: Remember that alarm clock with the built in battery?
Not only did Kevin clean up the entire house…
>> Buzz: Kevin!
What did you do to my room?
>> Crazy Nate: Well most the house in less then one night, he also found time to reset
the alarm clock.
In case you're new to this thing we call the internet, there are a lot of conspiracies
out there that Elvis faked his death to retire.
There's even a large group of people that believe that Elvis liked acting so much that
he still sneaks himself into movies.
Many people believe that this guy right here is actually Elvis in disguise.
This is a movie that you want to make sure is in your bluray library.
