The only montage we want is Kevin prepping the booby traps for burglars. There’s a really, really bad montage halfway through of Peter, Natalie and Kevin decorating the tree in the house It’s really surreal watching Marv giving out that Kevin is always foiling his attempted break ins when it’s patently not the Marv we know so well But Kevin is home alone and basically floods the gaff trying to get them out The action starts early with Marv and Vera breaking in, thinking the house is empty. There’s an obligatory mirror singing scene, with Kevin bopping along to James Brown – I Feel Good This will undoubtedly become relevant later. Kevin is allowed to stay and finds out that they’re so rich the whole house is “smart” and can be controlled by voice recognition They have their eyes on the little Prince due to arrive soon. He’s now talking about kidnapping instead of robbing as the best way to get easy cash. He talks about how Harry’s plans kept landing him in jail, so he’s ditched him. Outside, just as Kevin pulls up, Marv is there with his new wife It turns out that a royal family (?) is coming to visit Natalie and Peter for Christmas later that week. Kevin had an inevitable argument with his mam, so decides to head over to his dad’s gaff. It cuts to Peter and Natalie coming home from some sort of black tie function in a limo Kevin is having none of it, but the invitation stands Peter sits down and asks the kids do they want to spend a few days over Christmas with him and Natalie. Could you kindly f**k off out of Home Alone? 9. Sorry Natalie, but you’re not part of this story. Peter and Kate head off to the kitchen to chat, and he tells her he’s going to marry some woman called Natalie when the divorce comes through This conclusively proves we’re in the same universe as the original two films.
At one point, Buzz is supposed to be minding Kevin for the night, but Kevin wants to stay home alone: “I’ve done it before!”, he wails. Then the dad comes in and you realise you’re just watching a bizarro world version of your favourite Christmas family
#Home alone 4 scene movie#
They’re both older like in the first movie but it’s so weird seeing different actors playing them
This is Buzz and Megan – Kevin’s brothers and sisters. The mam tells Kevin that they won’t be getting back together because they had got in a “rut” in their marriage We weren’t ready for all these revelations inside the first two minutes. Not because he’s dead though, it’s just his parents have split up and everyone seems cut up about it Kevin reveals that this will be the family’s first Christmas without their dad. And this is what Kevin McCallister looks like The first shot establishes that this is now the McCallister family home – they’ve downsized since the first two films (or the production couldn’t afford the original) So we rooted it out and had a gawk because we needed closure on the McCallister’s story. It also helps that this is the only movie in the franchise so far to have four primary antagonists, meaning that more time is devoted to traps spread amongst all of them.EVERY SINGLE PERSON has seen Home Alone and Home Alone 2 – they need no introduction.īut the only other film in the franchise to feature the McCallister family is Home Alone 4 – a film most people have heard of, but nobody has seen. This is not even mentioning traps such as the trampoline pool trap, the closet sucker punch trap, and the adhesive-filled Mega Blocks carts. However, just when you think the trap is all finished, the dumbbell gets triggered anyway, meaning that the film not only subverted expectations on how a trap would play out, but it also gives a bonus to the trap at the end, allowing the audience to have the satisfaction delivered twice over. Unbeknownst to them, cutting the wire actually triggered a second trap that sends a large piece of furniture flying out of the attic and onto the assailants. The scene shows two of the home intruders successfully disabling what they think is a dumbbell trap.
By far one of the best scenes is when the film subverts expectations on a trap placed by the child genius Alex Pruitt ( Alex D.
While Home Alone 3 is often criticized for taking the franchise away from the McAllister timeline, and it certainly goes above and beyond in the stakes, it also delivers on the best traps in the franchise.
