Director ‘Home Alone” Explains the Stunt #behindthescenes
This particular stunt, the nail just basically is a rubber nail that lowers when his foot goes onto it. It looks as if he’s in tremendous pain. There was a mirror in the camera. It actually made the flame look as if it was a frying gel. This is Troy the stunt man. I still have this lovely prop of this fake head. Dan is wearing huge rubber feet. Now, here he’s not wearing rubber feet. He insisted on stepping on these. Granted, they were a candy glass, but still candy glass has the ability to cut your feet and hurt. I said, “We have to put a real spider on your face.” He said, “I’m not going to do that.” Finally, I begged him. I said, “Well, do one take. Put the spider on your face.” The spider trainer said, “Well, you put the spider on his face, but if he actually screams, the spider could freak out and attack it.” That did not make Dan feel any more comfortable. So, we did one take and it’s a silent scream. He did not utter a word. And that screen is ADR that we added

Spider on his face. Wow no thanks
What a great film 😂
That scream was so funny 😂😂
Grabbing the spider makes me feel worse than having it put on my face
thanks captain obvious
So one of the villains was the true hero after all
Honestly the robbers in both home alone 1 and 2 played perfect parts, i couldnt stop laughing 😂😂
No not the scream that's my favorite part
That stepping on the nail trap lives rent free in my head all these years later
The nail part.. oof I felt that
Sounds like he actually screams 😮
'' he did not utter a word! ''
he says as he screams like he just got shot
Omg you can see the feet when u pause it 😂😂😂
Yeah he didn't utter a word. He released the screams of the ancients from his face hole
"and we did a silent scream"
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH"
Still one of the best christmas movies tbh
Sounds like James Hetfield in the start hahah
Bro this is the best shiiii ever
I will never forget how hard my dad was laughing during this movie 😅
Hollywoods movie tricks are pretty impressive
Even explanations while watching these does not undo 30 years
I’m so glad this video popped up cause I forgot I wanted to look up how they did these stunts ❤
That scream was one of my favourite parts!
the more you know🌈⭐️
Sorry, but Tyler told me to 🛂🛂🛂🛂🛂🛂🛂🛂🛂🛂
Too this day I can't watch the nail scene without my feet tingling, I have to close my eyes
I'd rather step on glass than have a tarantula on my face. 😮
That scream was one of the funniest things I have ever seen!!
Glad it's just info and no "oh he said saidand did etc. Sorry I just hear celebs talk about behind the scenes crap and it's so obvious they make it all up. Like a crappy religion.
Time of year to watch 1 and 2 again
bet this was so much fun
I’m dying knowing the scream didn’t happen in real time, makes that situation EVEN FUNNIER
