Home Alone 2: Lost in New York

Home Alone 2: Lost in New York

This somewhat unpleasant 1992 sequel to the blockbuster Home Alone revisits the first film's gimmick by stranding Macaulay Culkin's character in New York City while his family ends up somewhere else. Again, the little guy meets up with colorful people on the margins of society (including a pigeon woman played by Brenda Fricker) and again he gets into a prop-heavy battle with Joe Pesci and Daniel Stern. The latter sequence is even worse than the first film in terms of violence inflicted on the two villains (director Chris Columbus, who also made the first film, can't seem to emphasize the slapstick over the graphic effects of the fight). The best running joke finds a concierge (Tim Curry) at the swank hotel where Culkin is staying trying and failing to prove that the boy is on his own. --Tom Keogh

[Kevin scrambles back to his room after being unmasked for credit card fraud, with Hector and the hotel staff in hot pursuit. He plays back Angels with Even Filthier Souls on the VHS]

Johnny:
Hold it right there! [Hector and the crew stop as Kevin forwards to the right sections and mutes the woman in the dialogue]

Mr. Hector:
This is the Concierge, sir.

Johnny:
I knew it was you. I could smell ya getting off the elevator! You was here last night too, wasn't ya?

Mr. Hector:
Yes, sir. I was.

Johnny:
You was here... and you was smoochin' with my brother. [The other hotel staff start giving Hector odd looks.]

Mr. Hector:
But... I'm afraid you're mistaken, sir.

Johnny:
Don't gimme that. You been smoochin' with everybody! Snuffy, Al, Leo, Little Moe with the gimpy leg, Cheeks, Bony Bob, Cliff...

[Cliff the security guard gasps; the other hotel staff, including Hector, look at him in shock.]

Cliff:
No. It's a lie!

Johnny:
I could go on forever, baby!

Mr. Hector:
I'm terribly sorry, sir, but I'm afraid you're mistaken. We're looking for a young man.

Johnny:
All right. I believe you. [reveals his Thompson submachine gun] But my Tommy gun don't!

[Mr. Hector gives a confused look]

Johnny:
Get down on your knees and tell me you love me.

Mr. Hector:
On your knees.

[the entire staff gets down on their knees]

Mr. Hector:
I love you!

[Kevin snickers quietly and unmutes the T.V.]

Johnny:
Ya gotta do better than that!

Mr. Hector, Cedric, Mrs. Stone, and Cliff:
I love you!

Johnny:
Maybe I'm off my hinges, but I believe ya. That's why I'm gonna let ya go. I'm gonna give ya 'til the count of 3 to get your lousy, lyin', low-down, four-flushin' carcass out my door! 1... 2...!

[Johnny fires his gun wildly, cackling, as the hotel staff dive for cover]

Johnny:
3! [while Kevin mouths him from the emergency exit] Merry Christmas, ya filthy animal! [shoots again] And a Happy New Year. [shoots once more]

Mr. Hector:
[as the staff crawls out; to the onlooking patrons] Stay in your rooms! This is an emergency! There's an insane guest with a gun!
