Home Alone 1 And 2: 20 Easter Eggs, References & In-Jokes
19. The Wet Bandits Van Has A Lethal In-Joke
In the first movie, when Harry and Marv stalk Kevin's eerily deserted neighbourhood in their plumbing van, the sign on the side is an easter egg for anyone paying attention. While Joe Pesci had plenty of acclaimed performances to his name before Home Alone, he was probably best known as Leo Getz from Lethal Weapon 2. Leos endearingly annoying catchphrase was Okay, okay, okay..., which explains the name of Harry and Marvs plumbing company: Oh-Kay Plumbing. The Wet Bandits arent above a tongue in cheek joke themselves, with their slogan being Your flood control experts. Seeing how they flood the houses of the people they rob, the irony is lost on no-one.
