We should merge this article to Home Alone (original movie) and turn Home Alone into a disambiguation for that and other Home Alone movies. --SuperDude 03:12, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I don't think we should make a disambiguation page. If people wanted to read about the second movie, they would search for Home Alone 2. --Brandon Dilbeck 03:46, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

Agreed. I don't see any reason to put Home Alone and Home Alone 2 on a disambiguation page. Typically, one would only search for Home Alone if searching for the first movie. --Daniel ellis 18:46, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

Can anyone include how much money the film grossed? 24.20.135.133 06:20, 14 March 2007 (UTC)SuperLu

[edit] Kenosha Kickers

I agree that Kenosha Kickers should be merged into Home Alone. --BaronLarf 16:52, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

I agree as well. EVula 17:26, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

That makes at least three of us then. —WAvegetarian•_{CONTRIBUTIONS}^TALK• ^EMAIL• 03:54, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Quotes!

Who put those quotes in! Some of them are from the second movie! The whole "Before I count to ten" is done in the penthouse in NY to the consierge and Hotel manager! Bah! I think I will cut most (if not all) of them out. Help plz 22:27, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

And one question: Is it A.C or Acey the gangster in the b/w movie is saying? Online movie scrips don't aggree with eachother..

Im fairly sure its Acey. PYLrulz 11:45, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

The quotes don't belong there period! This wikipedia, not wikiquote. I'm putting them on the Wikiquote page.--Cbrown1023 01:36, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Banned in Poland!?

May someone please tell me why this was banned in Poland?

Thats what I like to know myself PYLrulz 07:25, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

Maybe they thought it portrayed Polka in a bad light. (EnglishEfternamn 23:28, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Trivia

I added more trivial points because I know the movie through and through. It has been a tradition in my family to watch it each Christmastime since I was 6. (EnglishEfternamn 23:31, 29 December 2006 (UTC))

[edit] Video game dates

I know that the first home alone video game was not made as recently as 2006. I will do soem research on this. --Urzaserra256 06:08, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Elvis

what the hell is this doing in ths article i am removing it.

Humour Elvis Presley, if still alive, was said to make a short cameo appearance during the airport scene. Elvis alive?

[edit] Spoiler template

Shouldn't we have already added a spoiler template to the plot? I already did. But, I need your opinion on whether it should stay or not.

Sean90 22:37, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

Sorry for the late reply, but spoiler warnings are redundant to the plot (see WP:SPOILER), so spoiler warnings are not needed. Greg Jones II 00:19, 30 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Tarantula

Does anybody know what species of tarantula buzz owns? For now I'm going to put chilean rose just off memory of the film but change it if you know the actual species. Wiki235 08:29, 9 June 2007 (UTC)

No, but its name is Axl (for the singer).Dshibshm (talk) 00:21, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Plot Section

Disgusting writing style, many inaccuracies, sections riddled with opinion, bad style, etc. I've made some changes, but whomever reads this should really give it a once over. Whomever wrote it should hesitate before adding such messy, non-encylopaedic writings to Wikipedia. Hrhadam (talk) 11:24, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Raped

Good job to whoever wrote that Kevin was 'later raped by two burglars'.

Seriously, good stuff.

Dickhead. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.162.196.41 (talk) 19:18, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Error

"such as riding down the stairs on a sled and watching an R-rated crime film." Not a big deal but this is wrong. Kevin exclaims earlier on that the film "isn't even rated-R" when trying to talk to his mom who is on the phone. 24.125.210.172 (talk) —Preceding comment was added at 23:07, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Commentary

I deleted one comment toward the bottom because it seemed like an opinion, such as in a forum, and this is NOT THAT TYPE OF SITE.Dshibshm (talk) 00:23, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] I want a movie!!!
