    “Home Alone 2: Lost in New York” Goofs List

    • Crew or equipment visible: When Kevin lights the rope on fire, he turns to run away and a crewmember is visible through the window.
    • Continuity: The recording of Uncle Frank in the shower is much longer when Kevin plays it back in the Plaza Hotel. We hear things that were sung before and after Kevin started and stopped the recording.
    • Continuity: If you turn the closed captions on, they will say “Oh, you’re cooking, Frankie” when Frank sings it and “Oh, you’re cooking with brandy” when Kevin plays it back while in the hotel. This has been corrected in the DVD version.
    • Crew or equipment visible: When Harry and Marv run out of the toy store’s broken window, near the end of the movie, there are several shots of them where you can see into the store behind them. In one of these shots, you can see a person’s left shoulder move behind a display on the left side of the screen (the person is wearing a heavy green jacket).
    • Revealing mistakes: A black wire of some sort can be clearly seen connected to the staple that hits Marv’s nose.
    • Continuity: In the Plaza Hotel, Kevin asks Donald Trump where the lobby is. Trump says down to the left, but Kevin goes down to the right, and arrives in the lobby.
    • Continuity: The statue gets broken off its base by the airport van, only to be back on and unbroken in later scenes.
    • Errors in geography: When Kevin is sitting at LaGuardia airport he is looking at the Manhattan skyline. You cannot see that view of the city from that airport.
    • Continuity: In the long shot of Kevin in the taxi on the bridge he is wearing gloves, but in the close-up he is not.
    • Continuity: When Uncle Frank was in the shower singing, Kevin didn’t start recording the song until Uncle was halfway through. When Kevin played the song in the hotel bathroom, the whole song right from the beginning was on the cassette.
    • Continuity: When Kevin is in the bed in the hotel room, you see the butler scooping ice cream into the banana split boat, and then the butler asks Kevin, “How many scoops would you like Sir?” and the banana split boat is empty and the butler starts to fill it up.
    • Continuity: When Kevin is recording Uncle Frank in the bathroom he runs out before Frank says, “Oh, you’re cooking, Frankie.” Later when Kevin is playing the same recording in the hotel bathroom. We can hear on the recording him saying this.
    • Continuity: When Harry and Marv are at the skating rink, Marv puts on the earmuffs, and his hair is pulled back under them. In the next shot, his hair is all muffled up again.
    • Incorrectly regarded as goofs: Kevin is seen buying fireworks in Chinatown when he first arrives in New York City. It is illegal to buy or sell fireworks in the state of New York, but when this movie was made, that law was not enforced in Chinatown and it was easy to find vendors there selling fireworks illegally while the police looked the other way.
    • Continuity: At the top of the stairs, the tool chest wheels (2 fixed and 2 rotating) are all facing sideways. Before it falls, all the wheels including the fixed wheels are facing forward.
    • Factual errors: When Kevin goes swimming at the Plaza, it is a different hotel. The Plaza doesn’t have a pool.
    • Continuity: When Harry crashes down on top of the car, his hands are laid out above his head, but in the next shot of him, they are down at his sides.
    • Continuity: When Kevin wants to go home he quickly grabs a few cookies from the cabinet to take with him. Then he throws them onto the bed close together, then in the next shot they are spaced out.
    • Continuity: When Kevin throws four bricks at Marv, they are shown landing on the sidewalk. Later when Marv gets up, three of them are in the street.
    • Revealing mistakes: When Kevin is sawing a ladder, he is sawing it from front to back. Later when Harry climbs the ladder, the sawed portion (back side of ladder) shows it was cut from side to side.
    • Continuity: When Kevin hits Buzz in the choir scene, he starts out with a closed fist in the first shot, but then actually makes contact with an open hand in the second.
    • Errors in geography: When the family is in Miami, it is shown to be raining constantly, when December is actually the dry season in Florida.
    • Miscellaneous: There actually are Christmas trees in South Florida. The Norfolk Island Pine is a tropical pine that is originally from Norfolk Island, east of Australia. It grows pretty much all over south Florida and has even been seen growing as far north as Tampa and even near Orlando, though it does much better farther south, especially from the latitude of the north shores of Lake Okechobee southward. Fully grown, it has a slightly narrower than normal pyramid shape with nearly fern like branches that grow in an evenly tiered pattern, and will generally make a very nice Christmas tree. Farther north, it is usually grown indoors as a potted plant. Usually, outside of the tropics, you will see this pine grown in most offices, especially next to a south facing window.
    • Continuity: In the scene where Marv and Harry are hastily climbing down the rope to catch Kevin, and Kevin then sets it on fire to buy him some time, prior to when they let go in the long shot, the rope is clearly not attached to the building.
    • Continuity: In the toy store when Kevin is talking to Duncan at the cash register, Duncan asks Kevin about all the money in his envelope. As Kevin is taking money out of the envelope to pay for his things, he places the envelope on the counter. When the camera switches back to the counter, the only things there are the map and Swiss army knife. When Kevin wanted to make a donation to the toy chest, the money envelope was back in his hand.
    • Continuity: At the airport, the exterior shot of the plane flown to New York is shown as a Boeing 767-200, which, unlike the -400 series 767, lacks a middle door. When Kevin enters the plane, it is clearly a Boeing 757, evidenced by its single aisle and the door between first class and coach through which he entered, which even then magically becomes an Airbus A300 Cabin with the different overhead bin designs that did not exist on Boeing Aircraft at the time. American has also never flown 767s or A300s between Chicago and LaGuardia.
    • Revealing mistakes: When the tool chest pushes the door Marv and Harry have their ears pressed against, the long shot clearly reveals that they are standing on a skateboard as they are pushed backwards.
    • Crew or equipment visible: Immediately following the scene with the pigeon lady in the concert hall attic, Kevin walks toward the railing, and you can see a person dressed in black moving around in front of the latticework behind him.
    • Continuity: In the scene where Kevin is watching the movie in the hotel room, there is a man making him an ice cream sundae. We see the sundae first completed with 3 scoops of ice cream and then the scene goes to another angle to Kevin on the bed. The attendant asks him how many scoops, and there is only one in the dish.
    • Factual errors: When Kevin Arrives at LaGuardia airport he arrives at gate “G6″. There is no “G” wing at LaGuardia airport plus the lettering style is the same as it was at O’Hare, indicating that it was in fact filmed at O’Hare.
    • Factual errors: In the scene in the airport, there are Navy sailors in dress white uniforms. The proper dress for winter time is Dress blues.
    • Incorrectly regarded as goofs: In the original “Home Alone”, Kevin’s sister counts heads and there are 15 people between the 2 families. In “Home Alone 2″ there are only 14 boarding passes between the 2 families. However, in the first movie the McCallisters travel to Paris to drop off the oldest daughter, Heather, with her parents. Therefore in the second film it is implied that Heather is in Paris during the events that take place in this film.
    • Continuity: When Kevin is recording the Plaza Hotel commercial with his TalkBoy and it says the toll free number, Peter walks in and asks about the battery for the camcorder, overlapping it, yet when Kevin plays it back at the hotel, Peter’s voice is not included on it.
    • Continuity: The bag of stolen money changes moves between shots when Marv is getting hit by the bricks.
    • Audio/visual unsynchronized: When Kevin and the bird watcher go to the musical theater in which she lives, a different song was dubbed over the ones the violinists played when the camera shot the orchestra. You can tell by the bow movements and bow direction changes.
    • Continuity: As Marv pulls out the three staplers from his body, he kicks the front door open and fell into the giant hole. On the stairs where Marv and Harry fooled Kevin into thinking tha
