When Kevin goes to the front desk to check in, the desk clerk takes Peter's credit card. By regular standards, the clerk should have asked for some form of ID, or in this case, given the fact Kevin is a minor, she should've called the police instead. In the original Home Alone, when Harry burned his palm on the red-hot doorknob, he grabbed the doorknob with his hand sideways, as if he were shaking hands with someone. In the scene when Harry and Marv meet Kevin on the street in NYC, Harry shows Kevin his hand, and the 'M' scar is positioned vertically. In O'Hare Airport, the wrong Peter McCallister is seen purchasing at a kiosk with March 1992 issues of "Cosmopolitan", "Good Housekeeping", "Glamour", and "Vogue" magazines visible.
Watch the window he passes, there is a crew member standing there with his arms folded watching. The burn mark from the front door of the McCallister residence is briefly seen on Harry's right hand when Kevin comes flying towards him from running out of the Plaza Hotel. However at the same time, the original hand position Harry had was actually using that right hand, with his thumb facing downward, which should've hand the burn mark facing sideways as opposed to vertical. 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. Harr tells Marv the plan is to wait in the toy houses until everyone leaves then then empty the cash registers and walk out.
Bardo, False Chronicle Of A Handful Of Truths Review: Immersive & Lacks Substance
There is no explanation about why Old Man Marley had a bloody rag on his hand while in the store or BandAids on his hand when he and Kevin shake hands in the church. However, the novelization by Todd Strassman explains that when he was in the store, he cut his hand on the blade of his shovel by accident. Even without the novelization's explanation, it is still possible that he had blisters on his hand caused by shoveling snow which burst, necessitating the bandage. In the "Kevin's plan" montage, Kevin hoses the outside steps down to the basement.
After Alex calls the police the first time, his mother herds him into his room. When they first enter there is a shot of his bed, the top pillowcase's open end is first facing right. Then there is a close up of Alex and the open end is facing left. It continues switching to the right whenever the shot is from farther away, to the left when it's a close up of Alex. Two shots later when the attendant says, "Well, go find an empty seat," in the background you will see the exact same man taking his coat off a second time. When Harry and Marv run out the toy store's broken window, near the end of the movie, there are several shots of them where we see into the store behind them.

When the police officer visits the house to see if Kevin is home alone, Kevin is in his parents bedroom and daylights pours through the window. Clearly this was filmed at the same time as the popcorn montage. The external shots of the policeman, however, were shot at night. The timing of the exchanges between Kevin's parents and the local police would also indicate that it would still be day time for Kevin. They did but the power and phone lines were down due to a tree branch that had fallen on them the night before the family left. A flight attendant on their plane mentions that attempts had been made to call the McAllisters' home but "the phones are still out of order".
When Alice does flips to try and get on to the back porch of the house, her hair is different after she turns around to walk towards the door. Alex rings the bell to get his Mom's attention and the box's position changes between shots. Near the end of the movie when the parrot is going to light the firecrackers, he is talking perfectly even though he has a match in his mouth. But how did he call the police at the end if the phone lines were down. The poster is in one piece yet Kevin had cut it out the previous night to make Michael Jordan look like a real person. It thus makes no sense for the poster to reappear again in full after Kevin already cut it.
Spider-Man: Homecoming's Post-Credits Scene Is Officially Meaningless
In the church Old Man Marley's granddaughter is seen with red straight hair, but when Kevin looks out his window on Christmas day and sees Old Man Marley hugging his granddaughter she has brown curly hair instead. When Kate asks her for the final count Heather says 11 kids including me, 5 boys, 6 girls which is correct but she just doesn't realize she counted herself twice. One theory is that Devin Ratray actually mistakenly put Kristin Minter off and the actress herself knowing the script called for 11 people assumed she hadn't actually counted herself and did so again. When Kevin is in Buzz's bedroom, he finds in the box a picture of Buzz's girlfriend. This is actually a picture of the art director's son dressed up to look like a girl, because the director, Chris Columbus, thought it would be too harsh to make fun of a girl like that. When Kevin rides the rig on the rope to get to the treehouse, you can see that it was a stuntman who is much taller than Kevin and looks nothing like him.
The 'M' should have been sideways because he grabbed the hot door knob at 90° in the first film. When Kevin checked into the Plaza, the credit card was manually processed by the receptionist. However, the Concierge later runs the same card electronically and the screen flashes "stolen." The hotel wouldn't have both systems in place for credit cards. They would have had to call the credit card company to verify the status if they used a manual processing system.
Home Alone: 10 Continuity Errors You Missed In The Holiday Movie
Kevin finds himself in New York City airport with an airline ticket to Miami. The customs officials should still check on him and have noticed the error. Marv and Harry get away with clothes theft at the rink, scaring Kevin in-front of Duncan's Toy Chest and grabbing a few of the children on the field trip in Central Park with no comeuppance, despite witnesses. Kevin is seen buying fireworks in Chinatown when he first arrives in New York City.
One of the best parts of the film is when Kevin uses an old black and white movietitled Angels With Filthy Souls to scare the pizza guy as well as the Wet Bandits. It was made for Home Alone and it's a reference to the 1938 movie Angels With Dirty Faces. Right before Harry and Marv step into a pile of little toy cars and falls, Harry's body had been covered in bird feathers. However, in the next scene, there are absolutely no feathers on his clothes or face. They mysteriously disappear without him washing his body or picking the feathers.
In the next shot, he has no feathers on him at all, they just mysteriously disappear. Kevin purchases a large bottle of laundry detergent at the grocery store. While walking home, the two plastic grocery bags he is carrying burst spilling their contents.
In this movie, he tells the bellhop when he is escorted to his hotel room that he is ten years old. This movie takes place exactly one year later, so Kevin should be nine in this movie, not ten. When the camera is moving towards Marv like the bag of cement would, the falling rope is not visible in front of Marv like in the previous shot.
