Directed by Rod Daniel, starring Erick Avari, French Stewart, Jason Beghe, Joanna Going, Mike Weinberg (add more)
Revealing: In the scene where the kid sneaks into the butler's private quarters and sits in his chair, the butler sneaks up behind him and scares the kid. When he is sneaking up behind him, the camera shot is supposed to be the butler's point of view, but you can easily tell it isn't really. Watch closely as the camera goes right over the coffee table without making any noise, or without moving the camera.
Visible crew/equipment: When Molly walks out with Kevin after he gets caught by Prescott in his room, Kevin explains why he thinks Prescott's the inside man. Then, while they are talking at the door, the tip of the cameraman's finger is visible on the very top left hand corner of the shot. It also appears several times in other shots during the conversation until Molly walks away.
Continuity: After Marv falls out the window during the kidnap rehearsal, the bottom part of the window fell out along with Marv. However, after Kevin walks in, there is an extra pane left on the right side of the window. And after that, when the camera switches to the outside, the window is all crooked and bent, but it wasn't in the previous scenes.
Continuity: On Christmas morning, Kevin fiddles with the presents. When his father says he has to go and pick up the royal family, look at the presents over Kevin's shoulder. The view changes so it is by the Christmas tree, and the same presents are in a different position (especially the dark metallic green one and stripy one).
Other: In the scene where Kevin's mum, brother and sister are at home decorating the tree, his brother says something along the lines of, "I used to always hold him up to put the star on, and then give him a wedgie." However in the first scene where Kevin is watching the video his dad holds him up to put the star on.
Continuity: After Natalie arrives back at the house to find her mansion has been flooded, she screams and says "what?" six times. At that time, there is a shot of a purple shampoo bottle and a rubber ducky just in front of the stairs. Then Kevin says "I know it looks bad but." and during that line you can see that the shampoo bottle and rubber duck is about 10 meters from where it was before. It couldn't have floated that far in a few seconds.
Continuity: When Kevin escapes from the wine cellar using the dumbwaiter, he goes up. Then, he sends it down onto the robber's head. Then, the female sends it up, and then back down again when it hits the male robber's hand. But, when Prescot goes to the dumbwaiter chute, the dumbwaiter is up instead of down.
