Big Damn Heroes: In both first movies, Kevin gets caught by Marv and Harry after having put them through the wringer.Stan and Molly pick on Alex, especially after the police fail to catch the spies twice. Alex's two older siblings from the third movie aren't that much better.Linnie calls him "les incompétents", while Megan and Jeff call him "completely helpless" and "such a disease", respectively. While Buzz gets more focus, Kevin has other older siblings and none of them are very nice to him.Everyone except Buzz, who is still entirely unsympathetic to him. Even after Kevin is accidentally left behind, everyone shows concern for him being alone at home. The reason why the family gets mad at Kevin at the beginning of both movies is because of something Buzz did to pick on Kevin and make him mad eating Kevin's cheese-only pizza in the first movie and pulling a prank on him at the school's Christmas concert in the second. Buzz to Kevin in the first two movies.Kevin: You can mess with a lot of things, but you can't mess with kids at Christmas! Bonus points for when she slaps the concierge for advising her against it. Don't even think about standing in Kate's way when she's looking for Kevin.Harry is obsessed enough with trying to do in Kevin, but it gets even worse in the first film after Kevin launches a paint can at his face, knocking out Harry's Gold Tooth.Kevin seriously seems to be regretting it when he has to wander through Central Park at night surrounded by hostile hobos. By the time of the second movie, Kevin has gotten enough Aesop Amnesia that he wishes the same thing again and Kate points out what happened the first time he made a wish of that kind.Even if he manages to fend off for himself, he points out to his neighbor that he still misses them.

Badass Longcoat: In each of the first two films Kate wears a badass full-length overcoat that subtly underscores her Determinator/ Mama Bear nature.Despite this, the movie is explicitly set on and shortly after January 8th.

Director Chris Columbus suggested Pesci focus on saying the word "fridge" Pesci joined this film after wrapping up Goodfellas, where his character set the gold standard for Cluster F-Bomb-ing. Harry speaks it often in the third acts of both films, because they couldn't let Joe Pesci swear.Amusing Injuries: The injuries the villains sustain make up most of the movies' comedy, despite the fact that several of them are pretty extreme for a kid's movie series, and should have killed the villains several times over if used even semi-realistically.The second has Fuller mixed with Tracy, Sondra, Rod and Brooke. The first has Buzz and Linnie along with Kevin, Jeff and Megan. Aerith and Bob: Both McCallister families.Kevin is rescued by Marley in the first film and the Pigeon Lady in the second. ![]()
