|Installments 3 and 5 in these sequels to the Christmas classic ''Home Alone'' do not involve the original cast, while the fourth only features part of the original cast. They each have a similar story and themes to the original, with the third featuring communist North Korea and terrorism in a negative light since the antagonists are internationally wanted hitmen tied to North Korea. However, they were nowhere near as popular as the first two because they are considered lesser versions of the originals. | |Installments 3 and 5 in these sequels to the Christmas classic ''Home Alone'' do not involve the original cast, while the fourth only features part of the original cast.
