Now if he made it recursive, it’d be Macaulay Culkins all the way down.

It is nice to see the chap looking so healthy for a change. Most internet photos of him make him look like a advert for the dangers of Meth consumption.

As noted by Cracked, the director went to ridiculous lengths for that one.
He was on a super tight budget and schedule, yet still he insisted on period accurate props – even taking the time to find the same Tommy gun that James Cagney used in a 1935 mob movie called G Men .
To further sell the authenticity of the movie, they shot it using the same kind of film they’d have used in the '40s. The crew apparently had so much fun filming their period gangster piece that they later tracked down the original AWFS actor for Home Alone 2 , and filmed another scene for a fictitious sequel called Angels With Filthier Souls .

Was it ever released? I know of an anime example, of a show-within-a-show that was so good it was released, became popular, and even went on to have a disappointing second season!

“Nice try young man, but it’s you all the way down.”
Would that take the form of a chain of Macaulay Culkins human centipeding to infinity, or a single Macaulay Culkin twisted into an infinite loop?

Are there other celebrities who should do the same thing? I quite like the sound of Minnie Minnie Driver Driver and Tom Tom Cruise Cruise, for example. Will Will Smith Smith sounds like it could be a question, but Halle Halle Berry Berry is probably an exotic deficiency disease. Who else?

In the dead of a winter’s night in an abandoned building in Winnetka, 20 miles north of Chicago
the sequence was shot on a sound stage in the abandoned New Trier West High School gymnasium
I’m going to seize this chance to be incredibly pedantic, because I attended New Trier West when they reopened it ten years later: it’s technically in Northfield, one ridiculous high-end suburban town over from Winnetka.
Fun to know that I spent a year getting yelled at by gym teachers on the site of a little bit of film history, though.

I think he should have gone more traditional, Macaulay “Kevin Mcallistor” Culkin. That’s almost as redundant.
