Continuity mistake: In the first film, it is mentioned several times that Kevin is 8 years old. However, in this film it is stated that he is 10. When his parents are in the Miami airport security office, they say that he was left alone last Christmas. That would make him 9. Both films take place the same days, from about three days before Christmas until Christmas morning, so even if Kevin is born around Christmas time this is still a mistake.
Home Alone 2: Lost in New York (1992)
Plot summary
Directed by: Chris Columbus
Starring: Tim Curry, Catherine O'Hara, Daniel Stern, John Heard, Joe Pesci, Macaulay Culkin
The McCallisters are going on holiday, this time they lose Kevin at the airport and he gets on the wrong plane. His family are in Florida and he is in New York. After going toy shopping, staying in an expensive hotel, and terrorizing the 'wet bandits' in his uncle's empty house, he finds his family at the end. His mother finds him at a Christmas tree and the whole family spends Christmas in New York.
Kate McCallister: What kind of idiots do you have working here?
Desk Clerk: The finest in New York.
Trivia: In the scene where Kevin is first entering the Plaza, he stops to ask a man where he might find the lobby. The man Kevin stops is Donald Trump, owner of the Plaza.
Question: After Peter yells at Kevin "You spent $967 on room service?!", where does Kevin run off to? It's not clear from what's onscreen.
Answer: It's Kevin's dad who screams out. You can tell because Buzz looks at the bill, smirks, and says, "Oh, Dad." I've always interpreted it as Kevin running away. The joke is that Kevin's dad screams so loud from the hotel room that Kevin can hear him from the park. So Kevin wouldn't want to face his dad.
