20 details you probably missed in 'Home Alone 2: Lost in New York'

• "Home Alone 2: Lost in New York" premiered 30 years ago, but fans may have missed these details.

• There are callbacks to the first movie, including Fuller's coat and the statue outside the house.

• An actor from another John Hughes movie shows up, and the film's director makes a cameo.

The commercial gave the real Plaza phone number.

When Kevin watched the ad for the Plaza Hotel, he hears the phone number 1-800-759-3000.

That was the actual number for the hotel, and it's still used today — but with the New York City 212 area code instead of the toll-free 800.

Kevin's jacket from the first movie now belongs to Fuller.

Throughout the first movie, Kevin wears a brown jacket with a plaid design on the back.

At the start of the second movie, Kevin's cousin Fuller (played by Macaulay Culkin's real-life brother) can be seen wearing the jacket as he gets ready to board the airport van.

Despite the bathroom door already being open, Uncle Frank's singing isn't heard until Kevin enters the room.

Kevin's Uncle Frank is singing in the shower when Kevin enters the bathroom.

Before he walked in, the bathroom door was already ajar, but Frank's loud singing isn't heard until Kevin is actually in the room.

Kevin also only records a small portion of his uncle's singing, but when he plays the tape back later, a longer version plays.

The soda brand used seems to have changed from the first movie to the sequel.

In the first movie, Pepsi cans can be seen, particularly when Fuller drinks from one at the McCallisters.

But in the sequel, Fuller is seen drinking Coke in an opening scene. The brand's logo is also visible at other points in the film, like when Kevin is riding in the limo around New York.

The paper highlighting the Wet Bandits' escape also has other Chicago news.

Before the crime duo appears on screen in the sequel, the Wet Bandits' escape from prison is mentioned in a newspaper article in the Chicago Sun-Times (a real Chicago paper).

The paper the article is in shows other Chicago news as well, such as the side column about a recent Chicago Bulls basketball win.

The statue that was hit by multiple drivers in the first movie is knocked over again.

There's an ornamental statue in front of the McCallisters' driveway that was knocked over by a pizza deliverer's car, a police car, and an airport van in the first movie.

A different airport van once again knocks the same statue over in the sequel.

Kevin's seatmate on the plane asks for restaurant recommendations, but Kevin doesn't understand him.

Kevin tries to start a conversation with the passenger seating next to him on the plane, but the man only speaks French.

Kevin, and the audience, are left without an explanation of what the man says.

But some viewers have translated the French dialogue, showing that the man said he hasn't been to America before and is looking for restaurant recommendations.

The New York flight Kevin boards seems to have two different flight numbers.

When Kevin pauses in the airport to grab batteries from his father's bag, there's an announcement in the background that flight 226 to New York is currently boarding.

During the flight itself, the flight attendant welcomes them aboard flight 176, but the radar image still refers to it as 226.

Ally Sheedy, an actress from another famous John Hughes movie, makes an appearance.

The writer of "Home Alone 2," John Hughes, also wrote and directed "The Breakfast Club," which starred Ally Sheedy as Allison Reynolds.

Sheedy makes a brief cameo in "Home Alone 2" as the airline attendant who tells Kevin he's in New York.

Kevin passes Empire Diner, which has been featured in other movies.

Kevin interacts with a stilt-walking Santa outside of the Empire Diner after he arrives in New York.

The diner is a real New York City restaurant that's been featured in other films, including "Godspell" and "Men in Black II."

The directions Donald Trump gives to Kevin seem to be incorrect.

Trump has a brief cameo in the film when Kevin asks him for directions to the lobby of the Plaza Hotel.

Trump tells him to go "down the hall and to the left."

But the scene cuts to Kevin making a right turn down the hallway and still ending up in the lobby.

The Plaza employee who takes Kevin's reservation leaves most of the form blank.

When Kevin makes a reservation for the Plaza, the only information he gives is his father's name and credit-card number.

The woman taking his reservation is looking at a screen that has other details to fill in — such as arrival and departure dates and the number of rooms — but she never asks for this information.

Kevin bought his too-big swim trunks at the hotel.

Since Kevin's suitcase was loaded onto the plane his family took to Florida, he doesn't have his luggage with him in New York.

Despite this, Kevin still has a bathing suit when he goes to the hotel's pool (which doesn't exist in real life).

The swim shorts have a Plaza logo on the left leg, and they're a little too big for him. It seems apparent that he picked them up in a hotel gift shop.

"Angels With Filthy Souls" got a sequel.

In "Home Alone," Kevin uses audio from "Angels With Filthy Souls" to fool the Wet Bandits.

It's a fake movie that was created for the film. And the production staff continued the bit in the sequel.

Kevin watches and uses audio from "Angels With Even Filthier Souls" to trick the hotel staff.

The film's director appears in the toy store.

Chris Columbus, who directed "Home Alone" and "Home Alone 2," can briefly be seen inside Duncan's Toy Chest.

He holds up a young girl so she can see a nutcracker.

Kevin's inflatable clown made it into his backpack earlier in the film.

Kevin only has his backpack and his dad's bag when he gets on the plane to New York. He doesn't have any of the clothes, shoes, or other things he packed in his suitcase for the trip to Miami (not that they would've done him much good in wintery New York).

But at the beginning of the film, Kevin's mom gives him an inflatable clown that his grandma got him for Christmas, and viewers can see him shove it into his backpack.

Kevin uses the clown to play a trick on the hotel's concierge (played by Tim Curry), which was perhaps a nod to Curry's role as Pennywise the clown in the 1990 "It" miniseries.

Harry's hand is still branded from the McCallisters' doorknob.

In the first movie, Kevin sets up a trap that heats up a doorknob, which burns Harry's hand when he tries to break in.

The doorknob had an "M" on it, presumably for McCallister.

In the sequel, the "M" that was still branded onto Harry's hand can be seen multiple times.

Every address shown in Mr. McCallister's book is for a Chicago resident, except for Rob.

Kevin goes through his father's address book in the hotel room.

He finds his Uncle Rob's address and heads to his house because he's his only New York relative.

Every other address shown in the book is in Chicago, where the McCallisters live.

Kevin spent almost a thousand dollars on desserts.

The hotel bill Kevin's family receives at the end of the movie shows that Kevin racked up quite a few room-service charges, including chocolate mousse, flan, and ice cream.

The total amount Kevin spent was $967.43.

Kevin and Buzz both tip the bellhop at the Plaza with gum — just different kinds.

When the bellhop at the Plaza not-so-slyly motions to Kevin for a tip, Kevin hands him a stick of Fruit Stripe gum.

Later, at the end of the film, the bellhop makes the same hand gesture to ask Kevin's brother Buzz for a tip. But Buzz totally misunderstands and hands the employee the piece of gum he was actively chewing.
