Why would Budget be renting moving vans at the airport?

Kevin knew burglars were trying to get into his house, yet he leaves the front door unlocked the whole time he is at the church.

(3) Kevin's knowledge of physics, probabilities, espionage and diversionary tactics would put his IQ somewhere in the range of genius. However, his skills of logic and deduciton haven't shown him that the furnace is indeed not a living entity that should be feared.


Kevin's a smart kid, but his family has terrified him into absolute submission with the constant doggings, implied beatings, and neglect. I'm betting that Kevin's fear of the furnace comes from another family gathering where Buzz almost shoved Kevin into it face first while the rest of the family looked onward laughing.

As an aside, how come no one has ever discussed the way that Kevin devised these booby traps. He was seriously just short of the Viet Cong. A tar covered foot being pierced by a rust nail, sharp glass in those same damaged feet. Branding via the doorknob. Flame thrower to the face. Deadly tarantuala bites. I half expected Harry and Marv to step on shite covered bamboo reeds or have a three year old Vietnamese toddler walk up to them holding a grenade with the pin pulled.



He was clearly planning on offing various members of his family in this way, but when he thinks they disappear, he figures he might as well use his years of planning on offing these guys instead.

Who got credit for busting the wet bandits? The old man or Kevin? It seems like the local news would have been pretty interested in this story

I still don't understand why Marv and the other guy thought it was a good idea to try to shimmy their way across the zip line.

I love this movie and this thread.

But is it any surprise that someone from/pulling for Ole Miss has come up empty when it counts. Failing is institutionalized up there, so people should probably slow their roll when they keep this fact in perspective concerning the 'ol landshark.

I was planning on watching this movie this week before I saw the thread. Now I'm gonna look for stuff to add.

Watch the scene where Old Man Marley hits the bandits with the shovel. It's a 20 year old stunt doubt in an awful wig.

How stupid is that old man? He tells Kevin he is afraid to call his son for fear that his son will reject him. Then Kevin gives him a 5 minute speech about conquering the fear of his basement and the old frick replies, "Whats your point?" What the frick do you think his point is, shovel hands?

when the old man talks it makes me thirsty. He has that dry crack sound when his mouth opens.




as for HA2- all Kevin gives the homeless lady was a set of Christams ornaments. What's she going to do with that? Thanks for saving my life, homeless. Please enjoy these ornaments to keep you warm and your belly full.

You must have missed the deleted scene where she pawned the ornaments for whisky.

There's still time for this to be in contention for thread of the year.

Where you at, OMLandshark?

It's a Christmas family tradition.

OML fails to deliver. Can't wait till next year (I really enjoy the speculation)

In Home Alone 2, Kevin wants to go to a toy store. He has his dad's credit card and a wad of cash, and all he buys is soap?

I had no clue what that you was.

Interesting fact. While the store in the show is supposed to be "fao Schwartz" it's actually in Chicago and was obviously not part of the filming in New York
