Home Alone fans are baffled as they only just realise major detail about classic Christmas film

It's been 32 years since film fans took the Christmas classic Home Alone film to their hearts. The movie, starring Macaulay Culkin as eight-year-old troublemaker Kevin McCallister who is mistakenly left home alone to defend his home against a pair of burglars on Christmas Eve, was released in 1990 and has been a Yuletide staple ever since.

However, it seems some fans are only just clocking on to the importance of an intergral scene at the very start of the film. As the opening credits are still rolling, a cop is standing in amidst the chaos of the McCallister house as he tries to get the attention of the kids running around with no adults in sight.

For some, this is the first year a number of viewers have realised who the police officer is. The officer warns the family about burglaries in the area during the holidays as he attempts to glean information as they jet away to Paris for Christmas.
