After the premiere of the film there was a scandal, the French director accused the creators of the American tape of plagiarism. Earlier, the Frenchman created the film "3615 code of Santa Claus", according to him, the Americans completely wrote off this picture and earned millions. But this did not affect the income from the tape in any way, especially since games based on the film began to be released.

"Merry Christmas, dirty animal! And Happy New Year," says the hero of the black-and-white film, which Kevin manages to watch in the absence of his parents. In fact, there is no such tape. A fragment of "Angels with Dirty Souls" was specially filmed for the Columbus picture. Well, it turned out very realistic.

It was no secret that initially the budget of the film was very modest. Chris Columbus was incredibly surprised when composer John Williams, who wrote the music for "Jaws", "Alien", "Jurassic Park" and "Star Wars", himself started talking about collaboration.
It is said that Williams happened to be watching a draft version of the painting by accident - and what he saw made a great impression on him.

Macaulay Culkin was initially recommended for this role after he played in the John Hughes film "Uncle Buck". For reasons of conscience, Columbus still decided to conduct a full-fledged casting for the role of Kevin, having listened to hundreds of children. However, in the end, the director was convinced that no one would play better than Kalkin.

In the spider scene, actor Daniel Stern has a real tarantula on his face. The actor had to make a grimace of horror and scream completely without sound, since a loud scream could frighten a spider, and the consequences would be terrible. The shooting of the scene was successful, from the first take. And the sound was recorded later.

John Candy arrived and shot all his scenes at the airport in 23 hours. The moments of the film, in which a cute stranger helps a desperate mother get home, were filmed in a day. And this despite the fact that much more time was allocated for this. At that time, actor John Candy was on a wave, and in order to keep up with his schedule, he had to work almost without sleep.

Do you remember the girl Baz in the photo that Kevin found in his brother's room? Let's tell you a secret: it's actually a boy.

The teenager was slightly made up, and then put on a dress and a wig.
