Home Alone 2 Is A Bad Look For NYC

[Gold]

Are there hints that the dads actual a drug dealer

According to the official novelization of the film – written by Todd Strasser as a quick promotional tie-in – Mr. Peter McCallister is a prominent businessman (maybe a day trader?) and Mrs. Kate McCallister is a fashion designer, thus all the mannequins that Kevin was able to use in the party scene.

One Reddit theory goes that Mr. McCallister could likely be in the mob or something along those lines. It makes sense after a few beers. Another theory has Uncle Frank (Look what you did you little jerk!") actually hiring the Wet Bandits to rob the McCallister home.

He was moving weight breh, no question.

I mean lets look back at the shyt they had.
For the early 90s, they were the equivalent of multi millionaires

And how defensive he was towards the first "cop"

Lil cac Kevin got so much confidence cuz his dad was pushing that white. Ran up to NYC with Chicago on his back screaming "I got 100 guns 100 clips"

Same I’ve actually had those types of chocolate chip cookies before...They got a decent crunch but not too crunchy like Chips Ahoy...And they’re real soft after being dipped in milk Chocolate chips be tasting like real chocolate too

I was begging my parents for a talkboy after watching this movie. I recorded my radio show with my sisters every evening on it.

That product placement got me.

I had one of these too

The lip quiver when the concierge got slapped still cracks me up

“Do bundle up, it’s awfully chilly outside.”

The devil in Fantasy. Crazy that was Tim C

Home alone 2 is a classic

I watch HA2 even more than the first movie.

The amount of L’s Marv and Harry took in this movie

That moment the mom realized she fukked up after saying “Kevin’s not here” and the pops was like “WHAT!!??”

The honorary national treasure that is Tim Curry

Kevin exploring pre-Disney Times Square, walking around dangerous nighttime Central Park, walking past pre-gentrified Upper West Side, and standing on top of the Twin Towers

That beautiful toy shop Kevin visited that unfortunately closed its doors permanently maybe 4 or 5 years ago due to the exorbitant high commercial rent (Toys R Us in Times Square would later bite the dust too)

All that pizza them nikkas was ordering at the house in their Chicago suburb and the pizza Kev’s munched on in the limo was looking bomb asf Got mad jealous every time they would be eating pizza lol

Movie felt like it was sponsored by Coca-Cola, the NYC Tourism Board, American Airlines, and either Kodak or FujiFilm

This nikka Kevin legit spent $967 dollars on room service tho

Are those Eagle wavy potato chips in the back?

Were those only in certain local or regional markets? I don’t recall ever seeing them around out here growing up.

It’s The Plaza. Hotel mini bars jack up the prices on everything.
