Trivia

The "Talkboy" hand-held tape recorder used by Kevin was specially designed for the movie.

Donald Trump makes a cameo appearance. He is the man giving Kevin directions when he first enters the Plaza Hotel.

Angela Goethals, who played Kevin's sister Linnie is the only member of the original cast not to appear in Home Alone 2.
