![Home Alone - Tele Tydzień Magazine Pictorial [Poland] (22 December 2023)](http://img3.bdbphotos.com/images/130x130/s/v/svgjagkg6gnkkgjs.jpg?skj2io4l)
- The ornaments that Marv steps on in Home Alone are actually candy
- John Candy filmed his part in only 1 day.
- The concept for this movie originated during the filming of a scene in Uncle Buck (1989) in which Macaulay Culkin plays a character who interrogates a would-be-babysitter through a letterbox.
- The movie that Kevin watches on video tape is not a real film, but footage especially created. It was called "Angels With Filthy Souls." Along with other similar era references in the movie, this is a play upon the movie Angels with Dirty Faces (1938) starring James Cagney.
- The role of Uncle Frank was written for Kelsey Grammer.
