Kevin uses fireworks twice in the first and second Home Alone movies. Due to persistent anonymous vandalism, all users must be logged in to edit this Wiki. If you do not have a Fandom account, register for one here. The concierge in the second movie has one when he discovers that Kevin used his father's credit card to check into the Plaza.
He later used the scene where Johnny killed Snakes to deter burglar Marv Murchins, lighting firecrackers to accompany the film's gunfire. After running away, Marv apparently recognized Johnny's voice and told Harry that " sounded like a snake". Kate (Kevin's mom) would also qualify before developing into a Jerk with a Heart of Gold. At the beginning of the movie, everyone insults Kevin for not being able to pack his suitcase. Then, Buzz deliberately eats Kevin's plain cheese pizza and mockingly offers to barf it up. Kevin promptly attacks him and the worst he caused was getting milk spilled on the table on some passports the night before the trip, and causing some dismay and chaos.

Alex Pruitt goes to his snow fort and place fireworks in the fort. When Petr Beaupre was hiding in the fort from the police, the Parrot comes in and gets a match to light the fireworks. Petr tries to offer a cracker but the parrot wanted two crackers and lights the fireworks.
Later, after the Pigeon Lady throws bird seeds at the Sticky Bandits, Kevin uses the fireworks to signal the police. Fireworks were used both by Kevin McCallister and Alex Pruitt for booby traps. During the fifth installment, Finn is shocked at the high cash register total at the hardware store when he tries to get supplies to break Alexis out of the safe. They each get another in the first film just before they get hit with the paint cans. When Mr. Hector declares Mr. McCallister's credit card stolen and plans to bring the police. And later, when Harry rips Kevin's plane ticket, leaving him no way of getting home, with Marv throwing in a not so Implied Death Threat just to drive it home.
'Home Alone 4: Taking Back The House' Trivia
In the second movie, Harry outright says that even the possibility of getting the death penalty won't stop him from killing Kevin. One of Kevin's relatives just happens to have a household in New York. Played doubly as it also just happens to be under renovation when he needs a house to load his dangerous goodies to get the bad guys with. Peter calls the Murphys and leaves a message on their machine while Harry and Marv are robbing the house. This is how they figure out that their house is empty, although they don't realize just yet that Kevin is tricking them. Alex's two older siblings from the third movie aren't that much better.
When Kevin's mom leaves Paris to return home, the plane shown departing the airport is a DC-9. No airline uses this plane for trans-Atlantic service - it doesn't have the required range. One year after Kevin McCallister was left home alone and had to defeat a pair of bumbling burglars, he accidentally finds himself stranded in New York City - and the same criminals are not far behind. 'Home Alone' Plot Trivia'Home Alone' has a lively and funny plotline. There is no doubt that the story is really interesting but what makes it so funny is the way the actors, especially Joe Pesci, David Stern and Macaulay Culkin, have put in their maximum efforts to make the film even more awesome. The film was owned by Warner Bros until Twentieth Fox Century took over the franchise, while also increasing the budget and employing film stars such as Catherine O'Hara and John Heard.

When Marley enters the store, his right boot swaps from soaking wet to dry between shots. That would explain it only if the light came on when Kevin "activated" it. It stays off during the first scene, and he doesn't make any motion towards the garage when the camera is on him. Either Kevin's movement or passing vehicles could have turned it on, regardless of the time of day. I have motion detector lights in my carport and they constantly go on and off in the daytime if it's low-light and cars pass by fast enough.
He informed him that the pizza costed $11.80, so Kevin dropped him $12.00 through the doggy door, the movie's audio telling him to keep the change. Miffed over the small tip, he quipped that Kevin was a cheapskate. Just then, Kevin then used the film to threaten the pizza man to leave, followed by a slew of gunfire sounds.
Home Alone (film series)
Subverted by Harry and Marv, who do manage to catch Kevin in both movies. Kevin is rescued by Marley in the first film and the Pigeon Lady in the second. In a deleted scene he tells Brooke and Fuller that they were his eyewitnesses that he had delivered the pizzas on time. The infamous black and white movie was called "Angels with Filthy Souls." In "Home Alone 2," it was called "Angels with Filthier Souls" - it was a sequel, as was Home Alone 2. Kevin sits down with a meal before the Wet Bandits arrive at the house consisting of macaroni and cheese on a plate.
An officer at the Miami PD takes the McCallisters missing persons report very seriously and gets annoyed with them for joking about forgetting Kevin. He also suggests using Peter's credit cards to locate Kevin if he uses them, and that successfully leads the family to New York. When the NYPD catch the Sticky Bandits, they waste no time arresting them after finding them with incriminating evidence (though Marv doesn't help by revealing their plans). Another officer in New York offers Kate a ride when she realizes where Kevin is.
Also, in the first film, Kevin's idea of using the gangster movie to scare off the pizza boy relies on the pizza boy saying things that the movie's dialogue would work as a response to. Kate is on the streets of New York City, one of the most heavily populated cities on the planet, looking for Kevin, and a police officer she gets to help tells her to put herself in Kevin's shoes, where he would go, what he would do, etc. After thinking out loud for a minute, she remembers his fascination with Xmas trees and where the biggest one around is. Most of the characters especially Kevin's family make a deadpan remark such as one of Kevin's cousins complaining with so many people in Kevin's house there is no shampoo and Kate sarcastically telling Peter to grow a goatee. The only reasons why the art thieves and Finn's paths cross in The Holiday Heist is because Sinclair assembled his team immediately after the initially abandoned house was sold to the Baxter family. When Frank McCallister retrieved the pizzas from him, the delivery man asked for the payment, but Frank said that it was his brother's house and that he would take care of it.
When Harry and Marv hang him on the coat hook near the end of the first film and tell him they are going to put him through his own traps. And before that, when Kevin goes through the door at the top of the basement stairs only to run straight into Harry and Marv. In the second movie, Kevin has another sequel to the same gangster movie (which he still wasn't allowed to see).
Stan and Molly pick on Alex, especially after the police fail to catch the spies twice. A young unidentified pizza delivery man worked for Little Nero's Pizza. Internet Archive's in-browser video player requires JavaScript to be enabled. That is also how Kevin was able to order his cheese pizza from Little Nero's. Remember, this takes place over the course of several days. It's ridiculous though that the phones are apparently working by the time they land (Kate's SIL calls everyone on their street).
