Interesting facts from cult comedies and the secret meaning of some important scenes.

"Home Alone" and "Home Alone - 2" have become traditional New Year's comedies that delight viewers from year to year. In these very kind and cute films, there are much more interesting details hidden than it might seem at first glance. Here are 10 things you might not have noticed even if you know these pictures by heart.

1. At the beginning of Home Alone, there is a scene where Kevin's family members accidentally spill milk and fill the table. If you look closely, you can see Kevin's plane ticket on the table, which later went to the trash can.

2. That is why, when counting children and checking tickets at check-in, everything came together: the number of tickets corresponded to the number of passengers.

3. In the first film, when all family members were seated in cars, 17 people had to go. This is an odd number that is not evenly divisible, so one van had to have eight people and the other nine. That is why no one noticed the absence of the 17th - each group thought that nine people were driving in a different car.

4. The photo of Buzz's girlfriend that Kevin finds is actually a boy wearing a wig. Director Chris Columbus decided it would be too cruel to make fun of a real girl. As a result, the photo captured the son of Dan Webster, the art director of the film.

5. At the very beginning of the first film, old man Marley has a bandaged wound on his arm. When later this sweet and decent grandfather meets with Kevin in the church, his wound is closed only with a band-aid. And when he is reunited with his son and his family, the hand is completely healed. All this symbolizes the fact that even long-standing grievances pass over time, like wounds.

6. In the first film, Kevin watches the black and white film Angels with Tainted Souls. And in the second part - a sequel called "Angels with disgusting disgusting souls." In fact, these films do not exist, their fragments were created specifically for the comedies "Home Alone".

7. In Home Alone 2, Fuller wears the same coat as Kevin in the first film. And this is not a coincidence, but an attention to detail: Kevin has already grown out of these clothes, so she moved on to the younger member of the family. The funny thing is that in reality the actor who played Fuller is Macaulay Culkin's younger brother, Kiran Culkin.

8. In the scene when Kevin enters the Plaza Hotel and asks a passer-by “Where is the lobby here?” Donald Trump, at that time the owner of this very hotel, answers.

9. Another interesting detail that allows you to appreciate the attention of the creators of the paintings to the little things: in the second part, Harry still has a burn on his hand from the first film.

10. In Home Alone 2, Marv mistakenly thinks that he caught Kevin because the other child is wearing the same hat that Kevin wore in the first movie.
