The stuff Kevin bought at Duncan's Toy Chest is apparently some kind of monster themed body soap. It says so on the can and he can be seen using it to make a slip trap later which causes Marv to crash into a shelf of paint cans.
I think I prefer this over the original. My favorite trap is when Marv falls through the hole after saying "Harry, I've reached the top!". It isn't the most elaborate gag, but I found it hysterical. "Wow! What a hole!".
I actually used that slow "Credit Card? You got it!" line when I was paying for my lunch at the Burger King yesterday. The cashier didn't seem to get it. I had fun though.
When this came out I wanted a talkboy SO BAD. I asked for one for Christmas every year. By the time I got to 17 years old I still wanted one but I started asking instead for a digital voice recorder for taking notes in college. But really I just wanted to play around like Kevin McAllister still lol. Wasn't until around 2008 or 2009 I finally got a digital recorder that I still have today.
In Bulgaria we have this on national TV every Christmas and there is a meme on the internet with Macaulay Culkin saying "You will watch me every year until you die!". :D
I remember Siskel & Ebert re- reviewing the first movie, which they had previously mercilessly panned. They both said that, after seeing it again, finally understood its huge popularity (& plus were knocked over by how much money it had made), and that it WAS after all a good family holiday film. (S & E had select shows where they would reevaluate all the movies they panned then changed their minds about. I always thought this was big of them, because most critics wouldn't be caught doing such a thing).
The bottle called "Monster Soap" that Kevin buys at Duncan's Toy Chest is the green substance used for the ladder, off of which which Harry slips, as well as on what Marv slips in the basement.
"Two? Make it three. I'm not driving." 🤣
