Have you ever wondered how they did all those hilarious gags? This video is going to give you the fun facts about: the BB gun shot to the face, breaking ornaments with Marv's bare feet, the iconic "Home Alone falls", the tarantula on Marv's face, and MANY more. Enjoy learning about the making of Home Alone and little bits of Home Alone Trivia!
CLARIFICATIONS:
- In the director's commentary Chris Columbus mentioned that Daniel Stern was told to mime the scream for his safety. However, there are accounts where Daniel Stern has gone on record to say that they did have him scream on set. This makes it difficult to know for certain who is right since both Columbus and Stern were there to experience it first hand.
-The word "stung" was used to describe a spider attack instead of "bite" because of Daniel Stern's choice of words during an interview when he said they couldn't remove "the stingers" to place the live tarantula on his face. Often times the term "bite" is used incorrectly for insects, such as with fire ants, who sting not bite to inject their toxin. So Stern's choice of words was used in good faith that he was using the term correctly.

Ok. Love you bro!
Macaulay Culkin
I love this channel
Can you do facts about the Curious George PBS Kids series facts and maybe the Netflix original A series of unfortunate events Please.
I agree
“Buzz your girlfriend WOOF” makes me laugh every time 😂😂
As a kid I thought Kevin was saying Buzz's girlfriend's name was actually "Woof" 😂
and when buzz says trout-sniffer!!! lol you never hear people say that one lmao!!!!!
😂😂😂.
Shut up your m
Ikr
My favorite gag is the entire freakin' movie.
Lol. Ya it’s hard to choose just one.
Lol same
Same it’s so funny
MisterBurgerBeachball1225 if I had to choose one than it would be the pizza guy pretending to get shot😂
Mine too
this is literally such a dangerous movie 😂💀
RIGHTT😂😂💀
LOL TRUE🤣🤣🤣
Sure is.
Theres no DO NOT TRY THESE AT HOME warnings at the beginning
@Mallory Rowe Witch movie?!?
my fav scene was "Merry Christmas you filthy animal"
Oh and happy new year 😂😂
My 6th grade class loves that gag
@@ilovemesomuch Same
that was in home alone 2. In the original it was, "Keep the change you filthy animal."
You can find the clip on TH-cam
My dad used to watch 2 of Macaulay's original Home Alone movies. He still does..but now, with me🙂. It becomes our family tradition to watch Home Alone 1&2 every Christmas season.
The RoeBourne Diadem Channel cool the movie is lit
Iron to the face and hot doorknob.
Favorite lines: Harry: “Why the hell you take your shoes off?” Marv: “Why the hell are you dressed like a 🐔?”
Monica and Chandler: "Call it even?"
Very few things in life bring me as much joy as watching my boys laugh and laugh to this movie (multiple times) every season. As a 90’s kid myself, it’s so nostalgic and definitely still holds up!
The tarantula screaming was my favorite 😂😂
#13 That nail might've been made of rubber, but when Stern steps on the nail, it always makes my skin crawl to this day.
This movie will never get old. ❤
My favourite bit is when Marv sticks his head through the door and the Kevin is just like “Hello” it cracks me up literally every time 🤣🤣
Me too, it's the way he says hello. LOL
Man...this movie as well as part 2 made my childhood. My family had to buy both of more than once...Yes I definitely watched these movies that much. These movies were special...They created a special bond between me and my grandmother...especially when Harry spouts his angry muttering. We laughed and laughed. When I found out Joe had insisted on doing that...because he couldn't curse...I'm so glad they let him.
Sitting and watching these movies at 31...instantly I'm back in those moments when my grandmother. Oh how I wish I could watch them with her now.
Thanks for sharing the memories Amanda 👍 Sounds like you and your grandmother were close.
When Marv stands in the ornaments always gets me
my fav gag is from Daniel Stern "why you dressed like a chicken?" lol
Same lol
Same haha
♥️
How old are you?
Same
The thing I've always wondered the most about the original Home Alone movie is how Kevin was able to clean the whole house between the time after the burglars left and his mom getting home.
I wonder if kevin forgot to remove one of traps and one of the family members fell for the traps that kevin setted
Movie magic
Maybe Old Man Marley helped him clean it up use his shovel to clean up the feathers and the cars
2# when I was little I Thought that he said
“Buzz your girlfriends a woof” 🤣
1# who’s binging this channels videos
Buzz your girlfriend Woof
My favorite gag when Marv tries washing his face full of paint in the basement sink, it was attached with a battery he got electrocuted and he became a skeleton
Yes that a good one!
That was a cool gag....same with another John Hughes production #TrainsPlanesAndAutomobiles when Steve Martin and John Candy drive on the wrong side on the highway and get squeezed between two giant trucks......and then turn into skeletons out of fear!
me too:)) that part was my favorite :)
That used to terrify me
How do you accidentally bite someone's finger too hard?
You try to not while you know what i don't know
well he apparently really bit him hard. macaulay culkin still carries the wound in his finger but i think this is due to his real fragile skin. he is way too white. i am sure even a slight touch makes him easily bruised let alone hard bite
noyce714 idk ;-;
When you're an actor who's in character, it can be easy sometimes to get carried away with something and overdo it. I'm sure Joe Pesci didn't mean to harm Macaulay.
@GoldenPotato
Macaulay himself says that he has a scar on his finger from Joe biting down too hard at one point. It might not show in the movie, but that's because they did multiple takes.
I just love this movie
I know, right! So good!
My favorite childhood comedy movie. I laughed a lot in the 90's & till now. My blood pressure has been normal because I gag easily.
My favourite gag was when Kevin puts a tarantula on Marv’s face and the way he screamed
I love this & the sequel from start to finish. So many hilarious & iconic moments. Random scenes from part 2 always pop in my head. Uncle Frank singin in the shower, Harry flying through the air to land on top of a car, the scary walk through the city w/ all the different night dwellers, Bud playing drums on Kevin’s head during the recital, “such a troubled young man”😂😂😂 I could go on & on. ❤❄️⛪️🗽🌃🎄🛠️🪛🪚🧰🪜🤕🩻
Yeah it was nothing only 18million dollars
Pub G I mean considering they made almost 500 million from box office revenue alone, that’s nothing.
Well i mean if you new anything on directing a whole movie, you would understand how cheap that is compared to other movies and everything they did in it.
Are u dumb kid it’s to make a movie a movie usually costs like 50mil
Get a sense of humor
Yea nothin a pennysmore then that
“You guys give up, or are you thirsty for more?”
Did you know:
Harry’s cartoon-like muttering had to be improvised. The director and a few other crew had to repeatedly remind Joe Pesci that he was filming a family movie, so that he wouldn’t drop a major swear. Although, when Marv drops his boot, Daniel Stern unintentionally dropped the s word.
I can't get enough of the spider scene! That slight pause before the hilarious scream gets me every time. I absolutely love this movie! 👍👍❤❤
I wish they didn’t tell Marv’s actor that they would putting a spider on his face, but they kept him safe by not having him scream
He was allowed to scream the tarantula couldn’t really hear and they had to make the scream realistic so they allowed him to scream on set
Man, the hell that they went through to make these classics back then that most of us were completely unaware of up until now! It's amazing to hear about what these actors and stage directors endured behind the scenes viewers take for granted!
The flame thrower has to be my fav gag. joes scream is just priceless.
"Buzz you're girlfriend...WoOf
Such a funny line!
Here's the thing. Daniel Stern (the actor who played Marv) said that tarantulas couldn't hear very well, so he was allowed to scream on set. He also mentioned that his scream came from "Psycho".
Yes, there seems to be a discrepancy in the stories told because Chris Columbus has said that he didn’t scream. So I’m unsure who is right. I’ve mentioned this in the descriptions too. Thanks for watching.
Love this video never knew any of these thank you so much and you have a new subscriber now :)❤️
You’re welcome Becca. Thanks for joining the community.

“Buzz, your girlfriend, WOOF” gets me every time
Me too, so funny
My fav in each home alone (gags)
1:Tarantula trap on marv
2: marv getting electrocuted trap
3. Boxing glove punch trap
4. Paint can trap
5. Present wrapper Trap
boxing glove punch?
@@dabunnyrabbit2620 yes there was a boxing glove punch trap in deleted scenes.
Yeah the first trap Peter Beabupre faced when he entered the house with the shotgun He says:”You’re dead kid” and then he opens the door and that’s when it happens
Literally home alone is the FUNNIEST movie I’ve ever seen!!
The scream that marve did with the spider on his head was the best
This so cool to see this behind the scenes.
I can’t get enough of these videos❤️
My favorite gag from the original Home Alone is the flamethrower door gag. It was so funny that they used a similar gag in the first sequel. 🤣 😂
Call me weird if you must, but I think the pizza guy in home alone is cute lol
I know, he was so cute.......www.imdb.com/name/nm0958562/?ref_=ttfc_fc_cl_t34 Dan Zukoski
@Kane Christopher *ReAlLy?!?!*
You weird mate. *(jk.*)
Nikki Loakes so do i
Nikki Loakes same!!!
Ok so, “Angels w/ Filthy Souls” was my favorite from the movie 🍿!! Too smart for a boy his age! Kevin, the character was too smart!! Smarter than his family! Last, he did all that stuff for attention! It’s hard being the youngest!
All of the Gags are my favourite
I know what you mean Lena. It’s hard to pick just one.
Can you do more christmas movies?
Yup yup! More will be on the way.
Yes
@@FunFactFilms Finally!
Te
Wow! Thanks for all these cool information!
This is one of my favorite movies thanks for letting me behind the scene
You’re welcome! I’m glad you enjoyed the video.
All the gags are my favorite
Number 22: Kevin got so much money that it made him go insane.
He is really healthy and well now actually
@@saffronxox1724 yes true
It never gets old 😂
My favorite is how Kevin covers his eyes the first time the guy gets shot in the movie then he uses it twice as an adult voiceover
4:24 WHAT?? Macaulay has a bite mark from Joe Pesci for ever?! That’s so dope, I want that! 😂
My fav gag is when marv stepped on nail and ornaments XD
Nice!
When the fire went on his head XD
My favorite of the "owies" is when Daniel Stern steps down the steps to the basement. The "Whoop!"
That’s a good one!
Omg!!! you only have 600 subscribers?You should way more!!!!I love these videos!!!!!
Edit:Merry Christmas!!!
Thank you very much Jessika! That means a lot to me. I'm gaining momentum thanks to you and many others! Merry Christmas!
Thanks for the suggestion P&P! If you have anymore that are PG-13 or under that would be great.
I love all the Stan and Marv stunts! Give those guys medals, they deserve them.
My favorite gag is the one where marv fell down the slippery stairs😂😂
That’s a good one :)
Home alone is a great Christmas classic , this movie is right up their with A Christmas story , it's a wonderful life and a Christmas Carol. Joe peisci is a great actor , playing a bumbling burglar , a New York City lawyer or a gangster. The first time i seen home alone was in December of 1991 at my uncle's house. At that time this was one of my favorite movies besides tmnt.
Ah TMNT those two movies were my jam back in the ‘80s and early ‘90!
@@FunFactFilms When i was a kid , i thought the tmnt movies were the greatest movies ever. I saw the first 2 tmnt movies in theaters , my grandma gave me the money for the ticket. I own all 4 on dvd. I watch sometimes but they don't grab me like they used to.
My favourite gag in this one is when Kevin looks Marve and goes “hello” and shoots him 😂
But the best one for me is in home alone 2 when Marve gets 4 bricks to the head 😂
RIP John Heard "the dad", John Candy "Gus Polansky", & Roberts Blossum "Old man Marley"
Netflix has a great BTS of this movie.
Yeah. Isn't it abt a girl in a school?
In this scene from home alone Macauley Culkin’s actually say woof like barking like a Chihuahua
“Im gonna give you to the count to 10 to get your ugly yella no good keester of my property or im gonna pop your guts full of led 1..2....10 ahahahahahahahahahahahah”
my fav gag was the tarantula one the screaming was amazing
One of The Best movie ever. I watch IT every year. 🐏
In Home Alone 2: Lost in New York, if you look closely during the scene where Kevin throws bricks at the "Wet Bandits", you can see the makeup of the hit on Daniel Stern's forehead before the first brick hits that area, which the studio completely forgot about.
The hot door and bb shot
Nice Colin. Those are good ones.
Thank you for this, it helps a lot
2:46 that’s exactly what I said about this similar scene from raiders of the lost ark.
My fav gag was the one when he shot his PRIVATE PART!!!!,😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I love this movie like if you do too
My fav gag is the bee bee gun nut shot hahahahahaha
Where was Harry’s stuntman? I was looking for him but I didn’t see him
Allison Miller I know I told you
Me either
Lol I’m laughing to hard on Kevin’s face when buzz's girlfriend was having a bad smile fr the picture is so funny
I have a challenge:
Take a shot every time he says gag or stunt
This was amazing. Thank you for this! 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
When harry speaked russian made me love the movie
i was 11 when i saw this at the cinema now im 40 .....this film always reminds me of how fast time goes .....makes me feel sad
My favorite gag is the hot door handle
Marv slipping slipping down the stairs and the crowbar falling on his face lolol
My favourite gag was when Kevin is screaming
Bro love these videos keep it up 👍
2:58 makes me laugh every time when I watch the movie 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I bet when Joe Pesci got the role to play Harry the director told him to watch his mouth since it was a kids movie. Lol
I remember watching this video during quarantine
Behind the scene about home alone 2
Thanks for the suggestion!
the Donald Trump bit at the Plaza hotel ha ha
I know your Lithuanian I’m also lithuanian
@@blemba100 you are right
I already know because
1. You name is lithuanian
2. Your videos are also Lithuanian
I like the clip that kevin put a tarantula on marv lol😂😂😂
Here’s another fact for you: Macaulay Culkin and Joe Pesci were somewhat enemies in real life. During filming of the first Home Alone, Pesci accidentally bit Culkin after getting too serious with his role, leaving a permanent scar. Culkin angrily berated Pesci, saying "I don't care how many OSCARS you have, or whatever - don't go biting a nine-year-old! What the heck's wrong with you!?". It is also said that Pesci intentionally avoided Culkin on set in order to make him genuinely frightened by the sight of him. Their next altercation occurred on the set of Home Alone 2 when Culkin innocently (and jokingly) asked Pesci why he never smiled. Pesci told him to shut up. The feud between Culkin and Pesci may have inspired the first "The Joe Pesci Show" skit on Saturday Night Live (where Jim Breuer portrayed Pesci); the skit ended with Pesci hitting Culkin on the head with a paint can (a reference to a scene from Home Alone) and saying that he laughed when Culkin died in a scene from My Girl.
1:52 The film budget was $18 million 1990 Avg. Budget:
$18M
LOVE THIS MOVIE!! Thank You! 🥰

Ya they can be hard to pick from...too many good ones.
“Extra Shave aka AHHHHHHHH” and the bb shot

Can anyone subscribe to me
@@cyberfox65 you dont have any videos on your channel, so why should we sub to you???
I just quit TH-cam that’s why
@@cyberfox65 what kind of video did you have back then?
I loved watching behind the scenes very interesting, just love Home Alone my favourite Christmas movie 👌🤗💗
Could you do Night at the Museum?
Thanks for the suggestion Derek!
Of Course, I wanted to do fun facts channel myself, do you have any tips? Thanks Fun Facts
My channel would be called Fun Factor.
Yes, first thing is to niche down as much as you can. Establish what specific fact category you want to focus on, and then see if you can niche down even further from there.
Also, here is a fun fact from Night at the Museum.
Owen Wilson was only supposed to have a cameo. But during postproduction, the audience and crew loved his role so much, that they included more scenes of him as Jedidiah, but he is actually uncredited.
Yesterday, I had a dream that Kevin was actually adopted. That’s why everyone hated him at the start.
I love this movie
me too
Mine is when Marv slips down the icy basement steps. His "whoop" and the tire iron falling is hilarious.
😂
Also, in regards to Tarantulas.
1. DON'T STING. They don't have stingers.
2. They rarely bite.
I’ve watcher the movie before it’s so funny 😂 lol XD 🙃
my favorite is in the last phase where kevin greets old marley and the movie music at the end of the movie
Omg this whole time I thought “Angels with Filthy Souls” was a real movie😅my life is a lieeee
