When Kevin walks into Buzz's room looking for his family after being left alone, on the bottom right of the frame, you can see a crew member's leg. While Kevin is holding shears to cut the rope in the tree house, a few inches ahead of where he is to cut you can see something that looks like fishing line that is holding up the rope. This line is visible twice, as he appears with the cutters and again just as he is cutting the rope. When Marv grabs Kevin by the leg as Kevin attempts to run up the stairs and into the attic.
As the family rushes around the McCallister home, packing their things, a questionable police officer stands in the foyer, attempting to find an adult to speak with. Meanwhile, Kevin complains to his parents about his uncle Frank and he is instructed to pack his suitcase. However, his siblings refuse to help him, which causes Kevin to complain that he is fed up of living in a house full of people and rants that he wants to live alone when he grows up and gets married. It is likely that the police would have relayed this information back to the McCallisters and that this would explain Peter's frantic mood. Marv does the same at the basement steps, sliding down on them to the door and struggling to stand up in the frozen ground.
Marley
However, the other flashback visions were also not shown exactly as they had happened earlier in the film. The plane shown landing at the Scranton Airport is a McDonnell Douglas DC-10. The Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Airport has never had regular service from a DC-10 by any airline.
Kevin's older brother, Buzz McCallister, is one of the most famous big brothers from movie history. He ultimately shows a nicer side, but he's generally mean and messes with Kevin all throughout the opening of the movie. So it should come as no surprise that some of the best insults in Home Alone belong to him. This is a hilarious moment, and seeing the realization dawn in him that his family is gone is great. He then starts to get really excited about the freedom he has, and this is a moment that anyone who has ever been a kid can relate to. The movie is full of unforgettable moments but the best Home Alone quotes are always heard around the holidays.
The Wet Bandits introduced and Kevin's first personal encounter with Marley
It's a great gag even if it's a little odd that Kevin managed to defeat the Wet Bandits and clean up all of his traps in time before his family got home yet still somehow forgot about Buzz's room. He’s happy that he’s able to eat whatever he wants and do whatever he wants. Of course, the first thing he decides to do includes eating a ton of junk food and watching a movie that isn’t appropriate for a kid. When Kevin first gets the entire house to himself, he’s clearly thrilled. These moments really capture what it feels like to be a kid and to actually get some freedom.
However, he can clearly be seen removing his hat as he is winding the window down to speak with Kevin, which is why he is not wearing it in subsequent shots. The plane in the movie is a McDonnell-Douglas DC-10-10, which was flown by American Airlines, however it was only used for domestic flights due to its limited range of 3500 miles. There was a long range version used for intercontinental flights, the DC-10-30, but that one had three sets of rear landing gear. It is clearly visible during the takeoff scene that this one only has two sets of rear landing gear, so it is definitely a DC which could have never made the trip from Chicago to Paris. When Kate calls the police from France, the woman answers the phone "Village Police Department," but when the officer goes to the McCallister home, he clearly has a City of Chicago flag on the right shoulder of his jacket. Right after Marv hits Harry with the crowbar, due to the tarantula being on his chest, the Michael Jordan poster can be seen in Buzz's room on the door all intact.
“Bless This Highly Nutritious Microwavable Macaroni And Cheese Dinner And The People Who Sold It On Sale. Amen.”
A moment later, Kevin, rushed outside, calling to them, that he was "not afraid anymore." However, upon seeing Marley approach him, he turned and ran back inside his house, afraid and screaming. A moment later, Marley looked up in their direction, but the three quickly hid behind the curtain. Giving information to Mwebantu, nephew to the victim of the disaster Namabunga Mukubesa said that his uncle had been left in disarray after losing 10 animals at a goal when they were all struck by lightning. AN 80-year-old man of Western province has been left helpless and in shock after 10 of his animals died on the spot after being struck by lightning.
It’s a memorable Christmas scene, on par with It’s a Wonderful Life‘s George Bailey meeting his guardian angel Clarence. What most people don’t know is the story of the soldier-turned-poet who played Old Man Marley. But like his character, the life of actor Roberts Blossom is shrouded in mystery.
When Kevin walks up to the church at night, there is a door clearly in the very center of the building. When Kevin is shown inside the church, there is a baptistery in the center where the door was on the outside. Immediately after landing in Paris, Peter McCallister leaves a message on the Murphys' answering machine while Marv and Harry are burglarizing it. The phones are still supposed to be down, and since the Murphys live across the street from the McCallisters, their phone service should be down as well. When the characters are in the upstairs hallway, the walls change back and forth from being covered with a hunt club green wallpaper to being painted in a shade of green slightly different from the wallpaper. This is because some of the scenes were recreated on a sound stage at New Trier High School and they had to try and match the colors as best they could.
When he attempts to turn on a light bulb, he instead pulls an iron down the laundry chute and is hit in the head. Kate and Peter attempt to book a return flight back to Chicago, but find that everything is booked. She decides to stay at the airport to be on standby in case a seat opens up as the rest of the family goes to Rob's house. Kevin's sister, Megan, expresses her worry about Kevin to Buzz, but he insists that their brother will be completely fine. During the flight, a sleeping Kate wakes up, worried that the family has forgotten something.
Whichever the case, Blossom died a decade later in a Santa Monica, California, nursing home. However, it has seemingly disappeared, giving birth to an almost cultlike following of fans forever searching for the full film. A five-minute trailer for the documentary still exists on YouTube, but even the film’s director is unreachable, adding to the mystery surrounding the life of the misanthrope.
He is also reading a tabloid and discussing the quality of microwave dinners just as an adult does. When the cashier scans the toy soldiers she looks at him questioningly. Kevin makes a joke saying they are "for the kids" referring to his own children. Obviously he does not have children, but his purchases and actions make him seem grown up. Several of those traps would take at least an hour to do by themselves.
