I Found 50 Things Home Alone 2 COPIED from Home Alone

It’s no secret that Home Alone 2 is nearly identical to its predecessor Home Alone. But I wanted to find out exactly how identical the two movies were, so I watched them side by side and found 50 things Home Alone 2 copied from Home Alone, ranging between the obvious to the obscure.

Home Alone 2 is one of the extremely rare sequels that essentially rehashes everything from the first movie (even the music during the trap setup montage in both movies is exactly the same) but still lives up to the original and provides just enough fresh material at the same time.

You forgot the best similarity of all. In Home Alone 2, Marv is screaming when he's ambushed by Pigeons the same way he screams when the tarantula's on his face in Home Alone.

It doesn’t matter to me that Home Alone 2 is a copy of Home Alone, they are both fantastic movies and in my opinion the greatest Christmas movies of all time.

I think Everyone should watch both Home Alone and Home Alone 2 on Christmas Eve, it really raises your spirits.

Another similarity is when Kevin takes Buzz's life saving's and uses it for shopping. In part 2, Kevin had his dad's wallet and uses his credit card and cash. Another example is after the chase scene where he stole the toothbrush, he makes an admission of guilt by saying "I'm a criminal". In the second movie he says "I committed credit card fraud" after being chased by hotel security. After both chase scenes he meets up with Harry and Marv. Another similarity is the pizza. He said "my very own cheese pizza just for me". In part 2 he was told "your very own cheese pizza".

One the best made sequels hand down...

Even as an eight-year old I knew that Home Alone 2 was literally just the first one in a different setting.

[FartSmucker]

It was neat having so many similarities between the two films. There were a lot of characters in the first one and you see a lot of them again, looking and acting the same as well as the sets being so similar making it feel more real

[fakefootytv]

Wow I’ve watched these two movies over 100 times each. I always knew they were similar but not this similar! Wow!!!

[matthwe]

Chris Columbus once said that Home Alone 2 was essentially a remake of the first film.

Still love both films.

[JohnSmith-jcph]

Mr. Duncan from the toy store was my favorite character. His voice and warm personality. I just love him.

[Xolanidj]

These two are ridiculously the same movie! 😂😂

Also, I just realized that these movies were my introduction to Joe Pesci. At the time, I didn’t know he was know for portraying some super notorious gangsters! 😂😂

[BeaufortRyan]

That's what I like about the movie. It's has the original gags but with a New twist

[themaskedman]

I can think of two more similarities between the movies
1=knob taping--->in the first movie after he burned his hand on the hot door knob Harry went around to the back door and tapped the door knob a few times to see if it was also hot. In the second movie he taps the door knob on the door that he kicked open and then got hit in the head with tools
2=spell it out--->In both movies when Harry and Marv were arrested Marv spelled out who they were to the police. The first one being the wet bandits and the second one being the sticky bandits.

[catguy]

Despite Home Alone 2 being almost a carbon copy of the 1st film, it actually is just as good if not better. Either way both are masterpieces!
The rest of the Home Alone films don't exist to me

[firedupplayers]

Can you do one about how Home Alone 3 has opposites from the first films? Like for example the booby traps are during the day and the traps are at night in 1 & 2

[MrDanielNewton]

Great video, I hope to see more from you soon. You forgot to mention that Kevin also used the gangster movie in the original movie against the pizza man when he ordered pizza. You also forgot to mention that Kevin's' Dad unthinkably unplugged the alarm clock in Home Alone 2 which caused the family to sleep in the next day, whilst in the first movie they slept in due to the power cut.

[joshuaburba]

Rustin, the amount of time and effort you put into this is astounding. I salute you sir, and we the audience are grateful for your hard work. This video was wonderfully done and extremely interesting.

Merry Christmas my friend.

You left out the parts where Marv called Kevin, “Little Buddy”.

[DaSupermanOf]

*Back to the Future* (1985), *Back to the Future: Part II* (1989), and *Back to the Future: Part III* (1990) have similar scenes too 🤙🏼

[McLovin_]

One similarity you left out was when Kevin sees Harry and Marv for the first time in the sequel. He turns around and screams then runs away from them. It's just like the first movie where he walks out in front of their van and screams when he almost got hit. Then he runs away as they chase him just like the sequel. Both parts have a scream then a chase.
