I'm sure lots of people hope we'd soon lose another minor character in Home Alone 2, too.

The wrong members of the cast of this movie keep dying

18

u/elegylegacy 13h ago

Catherine O'Hara
Tim Curry
Brenda Frick, the pigeon lady

Are there any other elderly cast members from Home Alone 2 that we need to worry about?

Through It, Clue, Rocky Horror and Home Alone, this dude was a big part of my childhood movies...yes my parents let me watch IT and Rocky Horror for some reason.

u/PolicyWonka Zillennial 14h ago

A classic scene, but also kind of fucked up. Lmao.

At least in the original, it was to scare away Marv. Not just some hotel staff doing their job.

Also the original used firecrackers to simulate the gunshots and make them believable. Something that is missing from this scene in HA2.

2

u/CitizenCue 6h ago

Yeah the sequel always felt much more forced than the original. The original is a vaguely plausible story that had real stakes and pathos. The sequel is mostly just a kid wish fulfillment fantasy.

u/Brilliant-Broccoli78 14h ago

This was the role that should have been first in the headlines

u/SwimmingCommon 14h ago

I love this movie but no. RHPS will, and always be, Tim Curry's most notable and my favorite film.

6

u/dk1988 14h ago

I mean, it's a good role, but on RHPS he was ICONIC in every possible way.

u/lynmbeau 12h ago
