Home Alone 2 is one of the extremely rare sequels that essentially rehashes everything from the first movie (even the music during the trap setup montage in both movies is exactly the same) but still lives up to the original and provides just enough fresh material at the same time.
@@MrGenexxx it’s not. It has adventure but it’s not better than the original. The original was more funnier, the subplot with the old scary man was more interesting than the subplot in the sequel with the lady and the birds.
It doesn’t matter to me that Home Alone 2 is a copy of Home Alone, they are both fantastic movies and in my opinion the greatest Christmas movies of all time. I think Everyone should watch both Home Alone and Home Alone 2 on Christmas Eve, it really raises your spirits.
@@MrParkerman6 that’s exactly right. I don’t get why people complain about Home Alone 2 being a copy of Home Alone. You had the same great cast and same great set up. Now Home Alone 3 was totally different but look how that turned out? It’s no where near close to being good as the first two Home Alone movies.
You forgot the best similarity of all. In Home Alone 2, Marv is screaming when he's ambushed by Pigeons the same way he screams when the tarantula's on his face in Home Alone.
I’ll never forget that either when he screams like that, Marv was so funny in both films of home alone his scream in the second film made me laugh more than the first one
Another similarity is when Kevin takes Buzz's life saving's and uses it for shopping. In part 2, Kevin had his dad's wallet and uses his credit card and cash. Another example is after the chase scene where he stole the toothbrush, he makes an admission of guilt by saying "I'm a criminal". In the second movie he says "I committed credit card fraud" after being chased by hotel security. After both chase scenes he meets up with Harry and Marv. Another similarity is the pizza. He said "my very own cheese pizza just for me". In part 2 he was told "your very own cheese pizza".
@@mr.m4n446 I watched both of them every year at Christmas religiously for some years, so I can't have been too bothered that it was more or less the same film!
These two are ridiculously the same movie! 😂😂 Also, I just realized that these movies were my introduction to Joe Pesci. At the time, I didn’t know he was know for portraying some super notorious gangsters! 😂😂
In the 90s Joe was knowing as the gangster of movies basically and it proves size doesn't mean a thing cause he's a short man and still can come of very intimidating and evil in his portrayals, fantastic and now we portray gangsters as drugged up, saggy pants, school drop outs who can't dress well.
@@BeaufortRyan to be fair. Like them or not, the movies after 2 aren’t exactly sequels and more like standalone films if anything (even tho they got ‘3’ and ‘4’)
I can think of two more similarities between the movies 1=knob taping--->in the first movie after he burned his hand on the hot door knob Harry went around to the back door and tapped the door knob a few times to see if it was also hot. In the second movie he taps the door knob on the door that he kicked open and then got hit in the head with tools 2=spell it out--->In both movies when Harry and Marv were arrested Marv spelled out who they were to the police. The first one being the wet bandits and the second one being the sticky bandits.
Despite Home Alone 2 being almost a carbon copy of the 1st film, it actually is just as good if not better. Either way both are masterpieces! The rest of the Home Alone films don't exist to me
Can you do one about how Home Alone 3 has opposites from the first films? Like for example the booby traps are during the day and the traps are at night in 1 & 2
Kevin has short hair, Alex has long. Kevin is accidentally left behind both times, while Alex is purposely left home alone several times. Kevin is Blond, Alex is Brunette. Kevin has four siblings, Alex has two. Kevin keeps his misadventures with Burglars a secret, while Alex's family finds out about them.
One similarity you left out was when Kevin sees Harry and Marv for the first time in the sequel. He turns around and screams then runs away from them. It's just like the first movie where he walks out in front of their van and screams when he almost got hit. Then he runs away as they chase him just like the sequel. Both parts have a scream then a chase.
It's laughable they thought they could get away with kidnapping a kid in the middle of NY esp after they're escaped convicts on the run, whom don't wanna draw attention to themselves ..I would've screamed my head off like Kevin cause chances are they wouldn't "hurt" him in front of all the witnesses and draw the cops on them in NY, where cops roam freely..so the fact they tried just really was a good laugh
I don't think it really counts as "copying" when it was written by the same person. He had a right to reuse material that he wrote. People then complained when he wrote something different for Home Alone 3 so he couldn't win.
Rustin, the amount of time and effort you put into this is astounding. I salute you sir, and we the audience are grateful for your hard work. This video was wonderfully done and extremely interesting. Merry Christmas my friend.
Great video, I hope to see more from you soon. You forgot to mention that Kevin also used the gangster movie in the original movie against the pizza man when he ordered pizza. You also forgot to mention that Kevin's' Dad unthinkably unplugged the alarm clock in Home Alone 2 which caused the family to sleep in the next day, whilst in the first movie they slept in due to the power cut.
Home Alone 2 was kind of a perfect sequel imo. Take everything you liked from the first one and ratchet everything up a notch. Alone in the suburb...no alone in the CITY. One paint can to the dome...two paint cans and a steel pillar! Misfit neighbor reunited with family...giving a selfless gift to a dirty homeless lady! Free pizza...free room service at The Plaza! The Rockefeller Christmas Tree scene is legit beautiful.
i love how in home alone they wake up. rapidly get up. stare at eachother for 3 seconds before screaming "WERE LATE!" while in home alone 2 they do the same thing except they say "WE DID IT AGAIN!"
You forgot when Buzz talks about nude beaches. In Home Alone Buzz was talking about it in his room, and in Home Alone 2: Lost in New York, when the opening scene of the shot of the house Buzz says: “are there nude beaches in Florida?”
Hare are some other Similarities that I Personally Noticed. 1= In Both Films Kevin was seen watching the Exact same Clip of How The Grinch Stole Christmas. 2= In Both Films Kevin asked well just call it a Higher Holiday Power, to given him his Family Back and while that Higher Holiday is at he would like to also add in some Presents to it, In the First Film it was a Guy Dressed as Santa Clouse, and in the Second Film it was the Star On Top of The Christmas Tree in Rockefeller. 3= In Both Films Marv Suggest that he and Harry should have a Calling Card all the While Harry thinking it is the Dumbest ever. In The First Film it is the Wet Bandits and in the Second Film it is the Sticky Bandits and in both cases Marv think it's the Best Idea Ever. 4= And Finally in both films Marv makes a Verbal Vow to Himself that he is going to Murder Kevin.
You forgot one after marv got hit by the fourth brick harry gets mad and says that marvs going the front and he's going to the back Just like in in home alone 1 when he told marv to go to the basment and he goes round the front
Imagine what would have happened if Kevin and his mother were reunited at Uncle Rob's house if only she had waited a few extra seconds. One of the things I could never understand is that Kevin was running down the block from Harry and Marv. Did he not see his mother up ahead? Imagine how that would have played out differently. I guess then we would've seen whether or no mugger or murderer would have messed with her.
Its not "Copy" but rather it is called "Improvised". Home Alone 2 is a very very rare case thst the sequel is as good as the first. Its not too far off from the first movie, and not too similar. Both have own special moments and scenes; at the same time, it is still relatable.
I’m gonna add one more thing; in the first one, as they count heads, a neighbor kid is mistaken for Kevin as the kid is seen from the back. In the second, Kevin mistakes a stranger man for his dad when they run for the flight, as he’s seen from the back Other than that, great list! :)
You left out the part from the 1st movie where Harry and Mav almost run into Kevin in the van. Then in the 2nd movie, a truck driver carrying fish almost runs into Kevin with Harry and Marv riding in the trailer.
The sequel is basically like the first movie but wilder. Kevin's alone in New York, which is a much wilder place than at home. His traps are more deadly in the sequel than in the first movie.
@dinosaurandmarvelfan1995 You won't. It's free speech, as long as you don't swear directly at anyone in the comment section, I hardly think the video uploader will care
Hey is the reason Heather(the one who said that her parents live in Paris) isn’t in home alone 2 because she is with her parents or is it something else. Are her parents uncle rob and aunt georgette?
The similarity to the first one is literally WHY it's so good. The NYC setting makes it more exciting. Most of this stuff is purposeful to bring back the feeling; you're pointing it out as if it's some cop-out or they're hoping we won't notice. You're just pointing out the obvious.
@@TDH24LiveNot lazy when you find a way to revamp them or make a twist. Like when the Wet Bandits didn't fall for the same tricks twice, so Kevin had to improve his traps.
In the first one, the wind had a branch falling on the lines causing an electrical outage, hence the alarm clock resetting and every one to oversleep. In the second movie its just Kevin parents alarm clock that is reset when his dad unplugged the charger, yet everyone misses the wake up alarm yet again…Nevertheless, how can you mess up so bad two years in a row? And how can one family be so cruel and careless towards one child who is way smarter, alert, wise and considerate then anyone of them? Cause even if these movies end on a good note, I can’t help now, as an adult, not to feel bad for the troma Kevin had to go trough, not so much with the bad guys but with is own family; in both movies never is his family ( not even his mom), made aware of what happened with the robbers. Imagine the therapy bills later on..
Another reference is right before a bunch of tools fall on harry in home alone 2 harry does an evil laugh then in home alone 1 right before Harry’s hand gets burned by the door handle he does an evil laugh just like In home alone 2 when harry does his evil laugh
I think it was Buzz who yelled "Kevin you spent $967 on room service". It was Buzz because I recognize his voice, and he was the one with the last line in the first movie by saying "Kevin, what did you do to my room"?
No it was the dad because Buzz read the bill from the moment he got it and grinned, he basically said Merry Christmas indeed with a smirk and being the jerk of the older bro he is, told the dad just so the dad could get mad...why would Buzz be that upset at a bill he, a child, can't pay? That yell is the fury of a parent who is probably trying to maintain a budget to feed so many mouths even tho they seem well off... Then his youngest spends all that on food for himself..my mom would laugh and say, you should be greatly u found your kid and all u got was a good bill and not funeral bill but let me try that shyt and she crucifixes lol
Here's one difference when Kevin's family wakes up. They say different things in both films. Home Alone: "We slept in!" Home Alone 2: "We did it again!"
I think you missed a similarity, in the first movie, Kevin goes, "I'm a criminal," when he accidentally shoplifts a toothbrush, and then says, "I'm a credit card fraud," when he gets busted for using his dad's credit card.
Sequels are always fine being copycats when it's a simple enough premise. Although I never saw them it never made sense to me when people complained about the Hangover movies for having...more hangovers. That's the theme. Stick with it!🤷🏽♂️
I just noticed that when Kevin is looking at the photo in Home Alone 2 Kate McAllister AKA Catherine O'Hara has her eyes closed for the shot lol. Everyone else is fine but she's smiling but has her eyes closed haha I double check though to see if that was the same for the first film but that's not the case because otherwise that would have been another little Easter egg for both films but unfortunately she just has her eyes closed and the Home Alone 2 picture. But that's kind of funny cuz it's kind of funny because it's supposed to be a family photo but yeah her eyes are closed in it you would have thought that they would have had a better shot LOL
Wait I'm confused so when he does the Montage scene I just barely realize this there is a second set of stairs I mean obviously it's not the stairs from the main room but it's kind of weird because where the dining room table is and you see those stairs is a completely different setting then in the kitchen. Even in the shot where he's about to eat his microwave dinner you don't see the stairs in that shot. I'm guessing that the dining room table in the kitchen is one and then this is a formal dining room table? But it's just weird that you never see these other stairs or them ever being used in this shop. Even upstairs where does the stairs lead to upstairs you never see it.
I watched Home Alone 1 & 2 back to back last weekend. Noticed it was the same script recycled but you really went into detail. Good video. Home Alone 2 is more like Home Alone 1.5
Harry getting his head burned in the exact same way in 2 as he did in 1.... Notice how he noticed the burning instantly in the first movie, but he didn't notice it till he looked in the mirror in the 2nd movie? This is a CLEAR sign that the nerve endings in his head were burnt away in the first movie, so he literally doesn't feel the burning in the 2nd movie. People don't talk about this wonderful long story telling moment enough!
Kevin’s ten in the second one, not nine. It’s weird though that the second one took place the year after the first one because he was eight in the first one

Hey that's a good one!
I'm surprised they missed that one. But so did I, too.
Also Harry getting covered in feathers
I’ll never forget that either when he screams like that, Marv was so funny in both films of home alone his scream in the second film made me laugh more than the first one
Never thought about that but you're not wrong?
One the best made sequels hand down...
I respect your opinion but in my opinion I think I the first 1 is better
In a vacuum, the 2nd is a little better at times imo.

Wow I’ve watched these two movies over 100 times each. I always knew they were similar but not this similar! Wow!!!
Ya it was a pretty fun project to see them for myself to find out how similar they were

Both are equally great movies

Mr. Duncan from the toy store was my favorite character. His voice and warm personality. I just love him.
Also his act of charity donation passes to him lots of karma points. And his warm personality and his strong sympathy make him a really good friend.

Also, I just realized that these movies were my introduction to Joe Pesci. At the time, I didn’t know he was know for portraying some super notorious gangsters! 😂😂
Mr. Pesci had just finished working in the film 'Good Fella's' prior to working in Home Alone.

Chris Columbus once said that Home Alone 2 was essentially a remake of the first film.
Still love both films.

@@TDH24LiveIn a way, yes. But it's not lazy when you essentially revamp what already worked.
Basically the saying, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it."

All these years and I never clued in about clips of "Its a Wonderful Life" being in both movies. Home Alone 2 was a very well done sequel

0:44 I already noticed there’s less pictures on the stairways.
EPIC
I really enjoyed how they were similar, shows how a large family is always going.
You left out the part from the 1st movie where Harry and Mav almost run into Kevin in the van. Then in the 2nd movie, a truck driver carrying fish almost runs into Kevin with Harry and Marv riding in the trailer.
Which is the same guy that later tells Kevin "Watch it, kid!"
In both scenes he tells someone to "watch it!"
When the girl was counting head's, she mistaken a neighbor for Kevin. In part 2, Kevin mistaken a man wearing the same jacket as his dad.
The list keeps getting longer
Adding Kevin shop lifting and Commited a credit card fraud. As two criminal offensives
Merry Christmas everyone!
The sequel is basically like the first movie but wilder.
Kevin's alone in New York, which is a much wilder place than at home.
His traps are more deadly in the sequel than in the first movie.
But, the same person wrote both 1 and 2 so is it really coping?
It's basically a remake with a new story...
I’m pretty sure home alone 1 and 2 were made by the same people so it wasn’t really copying
Same cast, same director.

There's also Kevin taunting the crooks by asking if they have given up already.
Hey, Nice References 👌
Hey is the reason Heather(the one who said that her parents live in Paris) isn’t in home alone 2 because she is with her parents or is it something else. Are her parents uncle rob and aunt georgette?
Yes. Her parents are rob and georgette.
Wait it was Kevin's dad that yelled at the end of the film? I thought that was also Buzz!
I think it was buzz.
That's what I thought! Was it buzz or his dad!
I think it was his dad
Buzz did say “oh dad!!!”
I meant after that
He is definitely stretching some of these similarities
The similarity to the first one is literally WHY it's so good. The NYC setting makes it more exciting.
Most of this stuff is purposeful to bring back the feeling; you're pointing it out as if it's some cop-out or they're hoping we won't notice. You're just pointing out the obvious.

Because buzz called his dad
No it was the dad because Buzz read the bill from the moment he got it and grinned, he basically said Merry Christmas indeed with a smirk and being the jerk of the older bro he is, told the dad just so the dad could get mad...why would Buzz be that upset at a bill he, a child, can't pay? That yell is the fury of a parent who is probably trying to maintain a budget to feed so many mouths even tho they seem well off... Then his youngest spends all that on food for himself..my mom would laugh and say, you should be greatly u found your kid and all u got was a good bill and not funeral bill but let me try that shyt and she crucifixes lol
Here's one difference when Kevin's family wakes up. They say different things in both films.
Home Alone: "We slept in!"
Home Alone 2: "We did it again!"
I think you missed a similarity, in the first movie, Kevin goes, "I'm a criminal," when he accidentally shoplifts a toothbrush, and then says, "I'm a credit card fraud," when he gets busted for using his dad's credit card.
You can't really said it's copied if it's the same person who made the two movies.
I still enjoy home alone 2 though I don’t care
"Kids are a scared of the dark"
"Kids are a scared of the Park"
Sequels are always fine being copycats when it's a simple enough premise. Although I never saw them it never made sense to me when people complained about the Hangover movies for having...more hangovers. That's the theme. Stick with it!🤷🏽♂️
I just noticed that when Kevin is looking at the photo in Home Alone 2 Kate McAllister AKA Catherine O'Hara has her eyes closed for the shot lol. Everyone else is fine but she's smiling but has her eyes closed haha I double check though to see if that was the same for the first film but that's not the case because otherwise that would have been another little Easter egg for both films but unfortunately she just has her eyes closed and the Home Alone 2 picture. But that's kind of funny cuz it's kind of funny because it's supposed to be a family photo but yeah her eyes are closed in it you would have thought that they would have had a better shot LOL
Wait I'm confused so when he does the Montage scene I just barely realize this there is a second set of stairs I mean obviously it's not the stairs from the main room but it's kind of weird because where the dining room table is and you see those stairs is a completely different setting then in the kitchen. Even in the shot where he's about to eat his microwave dinner you don't see the stairs in that shot. I'm guessing that the dining room table in the kitchen is one and then this is a formal dining room table? But it's just weird that you never see these other stairs or them ever being used in this shop. Even upstairs where does the stairs lead to upstairs you never see it.
The first two film are classics but a problem about the second movie is that events of the original film were taken, changed and put into it.
The similarity is what made them special and gave them a comedic link.
No way, they're probably just coincidences!
Isn't home alone 2 the same as home alone? Like aren't they made by the same person?
Yeha they are
I watched Home Alone 1 & 2 back to back last weekend. Noticed it was the same script recycled but you really went into detail. Good video. Home Alone 2 is more like Home Alone 1.5
9:21- 9:40 is the most different in Home Alone and Home Alone 2
Harry getting his head burned in the exact same way in 2 as he did in 1.... Notice how he noticed the burning instantly in the first movie, but he didn't notice it till he looked in the mirror in the 2nd movie? This is a CLEAR sign that the nerve endings in his head were burnt away in the first movie, so he literally doesn't feel the burning in the 2nd movie. People don't talk about this wonderful long story telling moment enough!
Kevin did the yes thing when he got Harry with the hot door knob in the first movie
I like to imagine that these are both parodies and throwbacks at the same time
My heart still goes out to Cousin Fuller when he got squished by chair.
Nice vid
Kevin used a cork gun in the first movie, but some people call it a BB gun. A cork gun shoots wooden corks.
You prune the correct term for what Kevin uses in the first Home Alone Film is a BB Gun not what you said
Kevin’s ten in the second one, not nine. It’s weird though that the second one took place the year after the first one because he was eight in the first one
Home alone 2 is the same as home alone 1
You forgot the part where Kevin calls Harry and Marv, "Big Horse's A**"
If Catherine O'hara had kept the same haircut, they probably could've reused a lot of footage.
