On Home Alone's 25th birthday, here's what it would have been like if Joe Pesci was allowed to be Joe Pesci
It's obviously NSFW.
As Home Alone celebrates its 25th anniversary of release, the wonders of video editing have offered us a glimpse of what the movie would be like if Joe Pesci were allowed to do what Joe Pesci does best. And that's swear. A lot.
This re-edited selection, by YouTube user 'Failuresville', taken from the beloved family movie finally makes some of its ridiculous, weirdly gratuitous violence seem a least a little more realistic; there's no way someone's going to suffer through that many crowbar beatings and prat falls without dropping a good chorus of f-bombs. Splice in a little of Pesci in his usual, Goodfellas persona and this film might genuinely be slightly improved. For adults, at least.
Seriously, it's disturbing how well this works.
