Trivia:
The scene in the garage where Jernigan sees a pair of legs dangling out of the storage attic and he pulls on them which are actually the legs of a dummy attached to a lawn mower starter which starts and falls through the door onto Jernigan was derived from the novelization of Home Alone 2: Lost in New York in which the exact same incident happens to Marv when he's searching the garage for Kevin. more
Goofs:
Factual errors: When one burglar rolls down into the basement and falls from the mousetrap on his finger, he shoots a toilet pipe, and there is a very loud gunshot, yet there is a silencer on his gun, if there were a silencer the gunshot would not have been that loud more
Quotes:
Earl Unger: Unger. What's your position?
Burton Jernigan: Heading down Washington Street.
Burton Jernigan: I didn't copy. Where?
Earl Unger: I said, I'm heading to Wuh-ah-ah-ah...
[Jernigan runs over Unger while driving]
Earl Unger: Stop, you nitwit!
[the car stops and Unger screams, then collapses into the snow]

This movie is not so bad, 5 November 2002
Author: Aaron (manofhollywood@aol.com) from N.Y.C.

Everybody says this movie sucks...i don't think that at all. We can't have kevin forever...he's gotta grow up at some point. That's why it was good to go with a new family that would keep the spirit of home alone alive...remember it's for the kids. plus the bad guys were more advanced then marv & harry (not saying that i didn't like marv & harry) but these guys had high-tec equitment that was pretty cool. This movie was new,fresh,well acted & had good direction. (RAJA GOSNEL)

WAY-TO-GO JOHN HUGHES!!!!
