The best sequel idea I heard was that Kevin is grown up, down on his luck, maybe does a stint in jail, and he seeks out Harry and Marv to put the Wet Bandits back together with him as the third member, then they target a house with a kid like him in it.

Lol that would be a wild (soft?) reboot

[-] Gates9@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 week ago

Yeah I mean it writes itself. Who wouldn’t want to see grown up Kevin take a paint can to the face?

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

"which way to the bathroom?"
*paint can to the face*

you're right, it does write itself

Spiritual Sequel

Kevin McAllister with PTSD from iraq.

[-] anomnom@sh.itjust.works 11 points 1 week ago

Or just PTSD from the first 2 movies?

[-] HikingVet@lemmy.ca -4 points 1 week ago

I have a feeling Kevin would have went combat engineer after those.

[-] anomnom@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 week ago

By the 2000s he’d be ordering claymores on the dark web and probably moved to a more defensible mansion.

[-] JasonDJ@lemmy.zip 15 points 1 week ago

They should do a continuation of the first two films, where Kevin is the dad who forgets his kids.

And gets arrested as soon as their plane touches the ground.

Seriously how the fuck do you get on a plane without your kid?

It was the 90s.

Kevin's ticket wound up in the trash after the milk got spilled all over the pizzas. That snotnosed neighbor kid who unwound a yo-yo while going through people's bags got counted instead of Kevin. Buzz was being a dickhead and trying to throw the headcount off while everyone was in a rush since they all slept in.

The real question is if the McCallister family had mob ties since the whole family(including Kevin who didn't go but was accounted for) went on two nice vacations two years in a row. They lived in a ritzy suburb of Chicago in a house with two staircases and three floors. His mom was likely a fashion or costume designer which explains the mannequins in the basement that he used to make it look like the house was hosting a party. His dad's occupation is nebulous at best. There were no awards or other marks of achievement to be seen in the house of a seemingly accomplished businessman. The pizza guy heard a tommygun going off and didn't report it to the authorities. He probably didn't want stitches.

The vacant brownstone owned by his dad's brother in 2 recently sold for 6.7 million dollars in today money. The book apparently says he is some kind of prominent businessman. I don't think the explanation from the book rules out mob ties though.

There were no awards or other marks of achievement to be seen in the house of a seemingly accomplished businessman.

A clear delineation between work and home (leave your work awards at work) helps you keep work stresses at work.

What else are you going to decorate your fancy corner office with? Pictures of the kids you keep forgetting about? Fah.

Molotov bauble, anyone?

[-] muxika@piefed.muxika.org 6 points 1 week ago

Didn't Robot Chicken do something like this?

[-] undefined@lemmy.hogru.ch 4 points 1 week ago

I had to do some digging because I remembered something similar too.

[-] qualia@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Not their finest work: the clip.

[-] anon_8675309@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Aren’t we about due a new purge movie anyway?

[-] FenrirIII@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Hail Caesar!

[-] ChicoSuave@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

A Lone Home

[-] mlg@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

Wouldn't that just be a scaled up version of Saw?

[-] HikingVet@lemmy.ca -5 points 1 week ago

Saw went to find his victims, Kevin was beset with interlopers.

Purge Alone. A movie about a kid at home alone getting invaded and systematically capturing them with traps and horrifically torturing the intruders. Then his parents come home and he cant stop. Id watch that high as fuck
