- The scene in the garage where Jernigan sees a pair of legs dangling out of the storage attic and he pulls on them which are actually the legs of a dummy attached to a lawn mower starter which starts and falls through the door onto Jernigan was derived from the novelization of Home Alone 2: Lost in New York in which the exact same incident happens to Marv when he's searching the garage for Kevin.
- This [Home Alone] actually takes place *after* Christmas.
- The first major role for Scarlett JohanssonScarlett Johansson.
- Considering that Home Alone 4 was a made for television movie, Home Alone 3 was the last film of the series to be released theatrically.
- The film is a complete spin off the original movies. There no mention of Macaulay CulkinMacaulay Culkin's character or mention of his family, The MacAllister's. The only link to the original film is the Chicago suburbs, where the original film takes place, Mr. Jernigan getting his region hit by a crowbar and a portion of John WilliamsJohn Williams' score during the beginning credits.
- The original concept involved Macaulay CulkinMacaulay Culkin's character, Kevin McCallister, returning as a teenager. However, the plan was scrapped as Culkin dropped out of acting three years earlier as he thought he was outgrowing "childish" roles.
- At one stage the script was considered being filmed as a television pilot, but in the end the studio decided to go ahead and make it as a feature film. The reverse would later happen with Home Alone 4, which was originally intended to be a stand-alone TV movie, but was restructured during production to serve as a pilot for a TV series that ultimately never went ahead.
