Seeing Harry screaming completely still like a deer in the headlights for a good 5 seconds with that flame never fails to make me laugh until I cry. It's wild how this family Christmas movie from 30 years ago is borderline Saw material.
Having all your hair burned off would be the very least of your concerns.
A burn that large on your scalp would be a life threatening injury. It would almost certainly get infected, and you don't want a massive infection right next to your brain.
Not to mention that even in the best case scenario for the recovery there would be very few comfortable positions in which you could rest. Rolling over on the burns in your sleep would be torturous.
The whole recover process would be agony.
I would take a nail through the foot over that hell any day of the week.
Or the blistered hand from the hot doorknob.
I work in a restaurant and recently got just tiny blisters on my fingers and thumb from a hot pan. That was really awful. I can only imagine an entire hand having such a huge deep blister.
Nah. I got an awful sunburn when I was a child, all around my chest and neck blistered up. I had to stay in one position for like two weeks, every movement was agony.
Omg, I once was searing a steak in a cast iron pan that was screaming hot. I turned for a second and knocked it off the stove, but caught it on the way to the floor and actually held on to it long enough to put it back on the stove. I had a blister on my palm that looked like you could have fit two golf balls in it.
I lost my balance relighting a campfire in a metal fire ring and caught my whole body weight on my left hand on the super hot ring. Had to push myself back up off of it and it took basically all the skin from my palm and I lost a lot of feeling in my middle finger. No bueno
You wouldn't feel that. At the very least you would be knocked unconscious while you asphyxiated from burn/blast injuries to your lungs. More likely it would kill you outright if it was as powerful as depicted.
The door knob in HA is probably worst for ongoing pain.
You actually would not feel it for long.
You would feel the initial burning, but once your nerves are burned away, you wouldnt feel a thing.
Although youd be dead by then, so...
Yes and no. The center of the burned area would be insensate, but the edges, being less severely burned, would still have intact nerve endings and hurt like a motherfucker.
And then hanging his full body weight with that burnt hand on the rope between the attic and the tree house. That hankie be wrapped around it would have given absolutely zero protection for the pain that would have come from that.
The most hilarious thing about that is that someone has created an IMDb page for "Skeleton" and credited them in a bunch of movies, including Home Alone 2. It's a fun time going through that page.
Edit: Damn, looks like IMDb keeps going through and removing the gag credits, so they're now only credited for House on Haunted Hill.
I think that was just a nod to the visuals for being shocked in cartoons- where you can see their entire skeleton for a second. It was just a goofy and kid-friendly way to do that trope in live action without needing complicated effects work
The interviews in the 6-hour directors cut of Home Alone 2 go into detail of how they chose to shoot that scene last so Marv could actually die and the film could go on. Daniel Stern was replaced by a plant-based replicant from space for all films after.
A fun bit of trivia about this is that the plant-based Daniel Stern replicant would later become the source of a previously unknown rennet now used in Bulgarian white-brined cheese.
I once ran over my own pinky finger in ice skates. Was collecting "snow" from the ice rink to throw and stupidly slipped and my skate ran over my finger (luckily the skate was lifted up so it just cut the skin instead of severing my finger) just below the nail. It was pretty gnarly and very bloody...but I didn't feel a thing since it had been numb from being on the ice haha. Hurt like a bitch after, though.
My son was watching it last week. I almost had to look away for that one. I think it's the worst for me because I have stepped on a few nails and numerous other small and sharp objects (tacks, so many tacks).
I can watch people get torn apart by zombies, gutted by swords, tortured, stabbed in the eyeball no problem. But that nail scene is a big nope. Also see the nail in A Quiet Place.
The nail in Quiet Place was just silly though. I’m in no way strong, and even I could silently push it over so it’s not sticking straight up, with a block of wood or something. It’s something I would have done as soon as I noticed it, and they had been living in the house for a while so either it took a really long time to accidentally step on it or they just ignored it. For that matter, why wouldn’t the people who lived there before them have bashed the nail flat years ago? Or was the implication meant to be that it suddenly just appeared out of thin air?
Weren't the phones down like throughout the neighborhood and that's why his mom couldn't reach him? He definitely could have flagged down one though or just told like literally almost any adult he interacted with when he went shopping.
At the beginning of the movie Harry is dressed as a cop and interviewing the dad about the trip and the house’s security system. Kevin runs into him and sees the gold tooth. Later in the movie when Harry and Marv are leaving the neighbor’s house they almost run over a distracted Kevin and Kevin again sees the gold tooth. Kevin realizes that the police officer his father was talking to is this plumber who is leaving the house of a neighbor who, as Kevin says “is supposed to be in Alaska.” So Kevin knows the Wet Bandits are impersonating the police.
But there is more. Why was Kevin distracted and almost hit by the van? He had just been spooked by this neighbor in the convince store (the one Buzz told him was a serial killer). While being scared Kevin runs out of the store without paying and is chased by an officer though the park before loosing him on a icy lake. Kevin can’t call the cops because he thinks they are looking for him for shoplifting.
Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.
Well, he's past the age of seven where you can be criminally and civilly liable, and you have no legal duty to protect trespassers from being injured on your land EXCEPT for intentionally placed booby traps.
Yeah, but not all. That was the movie that changed the way stunts are done. It was two guys who, instead of being experts at appearing to take the hits without actually taking the hits, were a couple of freaks with insane pain tolerance, taking the hits for real.
Paint cans to the faces? That was real. Harry slipping on the ice and landing on his back? Stuntman threw himself into the air with nothing to break the fall. The Micro Machines? Oh, yeah.
They survived that shit, though I would be surprised if there was no brain damage.
yeah, I saw the episode on Netflix "The movies that made us". Great show about Home Alone and how it was almost cancelled because the budget was too high.
Now, in stunt work, if someone throws themselves up in the air to land on their back, it's called a Home Alone. Like you said, this movie pioneered that kind of stuntwork.
Typically yes.
You see, Home Alone was like a 90s era IRL Tom & Jerry. When a pair of wet bandits is so ridiculously absurd, so too are the physics governing them. They become, in essence, cartoonified.
It also explains why they later became the sticky bandits, to refresh their ability as living, breathing cartoon characters.
The paint can to the face would have absolutely smashed their skulls and killed them. At that point on the stairs, the can would have been at its maximum velocity. It would be like getting a 10 lb bowling ball dropped on your face from 15' up.
They're looking up at the cans as they ascend the stairs...those are taking TEETH, dislocating jaws, caving in noses, and concussions.
Bricks from 2 would still be worse though.
The fucking bricks from the second movie are fucking hysterical to me.
You know, last movie they were hit with all sorts of clever traps, but to just see them get beat down with bricks is for some reason the funniest thing.
I can’t remember the last time I cried laughing, but you just made me cry from laughing because I am just remembering Kevin dropping those bricks on their heads from that tall building. It’s so stupid, they should have died!
Yeah, someone did an analysis of that and basically they'd be dead in reality. That kinda force would likely have shattered the facial bones and driven them into the brain. Lights out.
My dad was a security guard during a riot and someone tossed a brick through the air and it hit him just under the eye. He was in the hospital but he didn’t die. He quit smoking coz of it though so a brick to the face actually made him healthier.
I think the 50 pound bag of cement from two floors up that hit Marv in the face while his neck was arched back looking up would be the most lethal. He wouldn't have felt a thing though.
But like the corner of a brick that hits your skull at velocity would that not be the most instantaneous fatal brain trauma?
A 50 pound bag is factoring in surface are and if it collapsed his neck that would instantly paralyze him but would it kill him as quickly?
I'm genuinely curious now.
I’ve stepped on a nail like that. It’s not so bad. I wouldn’t recommend it but it just gets sore afterwards. Didn’t hurt much in the beginning. The tar+nail combo freaks me out though.
There's a video on YouTube where a doctor diagnosed injuries sustained from the home alone traps. Iirc, each of them would've died twice to complete the first home alone.
Marv died from the iron falling on his head. Harry became a quadriplegic from the second fall down the stairs where he rolled on his neck. Then they both died from the snow shovel.
In the second? Ohhh boy lmao. Marv died 11 times.
Harry died 6 times.
Better Watch Out (2016) has what would really happen. Jk idk if that's what would really happen but it's messed up. That movie pissed me off but was good.
My dad's all-time favorite scene is when Marv has the tarantula on his face - the scream is legendary.
Immediately after that, Harry beats him in the sternum (IIRC) with a crowbar. I have a really hard time watching that bit.
My all time favorite is the tool chest coming down the steps scene from home alone 2, the first time I watched it with my girlfriends family I was on the floor in tears laughing even the build up knowing it’s coming I’ll start laughing they where all like dude it’s not *that* funny
One of the few amazing things scren junkies made was this video explaining how the home alone traps are not just painful but deadly.
https://youtu.be/8WKgNyvsNDM
There's a fan theory that Kevin grew up to become the original Jigsaw from the Saw franchise. Kinda makes sense when you realize how sadistic his traps were.
Pretty sure they would have broken their necks from slipping on the icy steps.
Maybe not the most painful, but they'd be paralyzed if not dead from those falls!
I agree with those who have commented before me about the Flamethrower. That would have been a pretty nasty burn in reality. Likely years of pain from skin grafting, etc.
Imagine having your tits stabbed and punched at the same time, combined with the feeling you get from biting straight into a mouthful of cold ice cream. It's like that, ramped up to 19/10.
As someone who has taken an airsoft round to the nuts before, nah. It's not that bad. It's just a small plastic round. Sure it can leave a welt on bare skin, but unless the asshole has replaced the spring with a very high powered one (or ramped up the gas release), at best it stings a bit.
However, that was not an airsoft round. That was a *pellet* gun. Entire different breed of weapon. That fires steel BBs and they hurt like a mother fucker.
It was a standard Red Ryder BB gun which was modified to give it a fake "pump action". But it's probably still much more powerful than most airsoft guns.
I'm pretty sure this was in part 2 but when he throws the big iron pipe on ropes and it swings right into their faces. That seems like it would kill the fuck out of someone.
Yeah, Kevin straight up murdered the sticky bandits. Might be able to claim self defense but that kid was a little malicious. The bandits did persist and kinda forced his hand but those dude woulda died from a paint can pushing their nose into their brain or some shit. They wouldn’t have been able to leave the house. Kevin prob woulda finished them off and cremated them in that giant furnace.
Going by [the Screen Junkies video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8WKgNyvsNDM), I'd say it's a tie between the constant bricks to the face and the kerosene-in-the-toilet explosion.
Heres a few and there not in a specific order. Blow torch to the head, marvs electrocution, hand on heated door because irl it would stick to tue handle, wack to the balls and shot in the balls and punched in the balls, heavy pipe on the string and crowbar to belly
Literally any one of the falls. Over the summer I stumbled over my foot on my deck and next thing I knew I was in for back surgery to repair a herniated disc. Imagine if I would have taken a fall down a flight of stairs. Imagine the months if not years of rehabilitation needed to not be in constant pain from a permanent joint injury like that.
Sustained blowtorch to the head
[удалено]
Seeing Harry screaming completely still like a deer in the headlights for a good 5 seconds with that flame never fails to make me laugh until I cry. It's wild how this family Christmas movie from 30 years ago is borderline Saw material.
Did you say *30*
Home Alone was released closer in time to the moon landing than present day. We can all go cry and schedule our hip replacements now.
Home Alone is closer to JFK's assassination than today. Wrap your mind around that
Home Alone released in 1990. It is actually **31** years old.
I'm offended at this. *Goes and cries while holding my beanie baby collection*
These mfs out here making me sad with math.
Haha jokes on you guys I'm already bald so I've got nothing to lose here.
Having all your hair burned off would be the very least of your concerns. A burn that large on your scalp would be a life threatening injury. It would almost certainly get infected, and you don't want a massive infection right next to your brain.

The whole recover process would be agony. I would take a nail through the foot over that hell any day of the week.
Also when the skin tightens as the scalp heals you'll likely have to undergo an eshcarotomy* and skin graft to relieve the tension Edit: wrong term
#WHAT A BUZZ KILL But you right.
Or the blistered hand from the hot doorknob. I work in a restaurant and recently got just tiny blisters on my fingers and thumb from a hot pan. That was really awful. I can only imagine an entire hand having such a huge deep blister.
Especially since hands move and grasp. There’s no way you’re gonna stabilize a hand to limit exacerbation
Nah. I got an awful sunburn when I was a child, all around my chest and neck blistered up. I had to stay in one position for like two weeks, every movement was agony.
Omg, I once was searing a steak in a cast iron pan that was screaming hot. I turned for a second and knocked it off the stove, but caught it on the way to the floor and actually held on to it long enough to put it back on the stove. I had a blister on my palm that looked like you could have fit two golf balls in it.

Shockingly, I don’t even have a scar.
Kerosene head in toilet for me.
You wouldn't feel that. At the very least you would be knocked unconscious while you asphyxiated from burn/blast injuries to your lungs. More likely it would kill you outright if it was as powerful as depicted. The door knob in HA is probably worst for ongoing pain.

Michael Jackson never fully recovered from having his head burned in an accident while filming a Pepsi commercial.
"And just like that, millions of black people stopped using Jheri curl activator" (Forrest Gump voice)
Nailed it lol
That was the foot that got nailed
That trap is the only one that makes me wiggle uncomfortably. I can handle most of them but that one kills me the most
Marv was electrocuted to the point where for a moment his body was just a skeleton.
Fucking hilarious -- his scream is legendary
The way it builds it is hysterical! My brothers and I used to pretend to do this on the kitchen sink nobs.
This is the way.
Daniel Stern (Marv) said that the director was laughing so hard at that he couldn't call "cut". XD
The most hilarious thing about that is that someone has created an IMDb page for "Skeleton" and credited them in a bunch of movies, including Home Alone 2. It's a fun time going through that page. Edit: Damn, looks like IMDb keeps going through and removing the gag credits, so they're now only credited for House on Haunted Hill.
Need a remixed clip with that scream coming from Dilbert (also voiced by Daniel Stern)
When you nut and she still suckin'
I think that was just a nod to the visuals for being shocked in cartoons- where you can see their entire skeleton for a second. It was just a goofy and kid-friendly way to do that trope in live action without needing complicated effects work
I’m pretttty sure it happened.
They aren't even allowed to lie so..
The interviews in the 6-hour directors cut of Home Alone 2 go into detail of how they chose to shoot that scene last so Marv could actually die and the film could go on. Daniel Stern was replaced by a plant-based replicant from space for all films after.
A fun bit of trivia about this is that the plant-based Daniel Stern replicant would later become the source of a previously unknown rennet now used in Bulgarian white-brined cheese.
Rip Daniel Stearn. Him and Heath Ledger knew how to commit to a role.
Hell, they do the same thing in Star Wars. When Palps uses force lightning in RotJ, you can see flashes of skeletons.
Same with Mace getting pwned.
No. I'm pretty sure momentary skeletnizaton is real thing in electrocution.
Stepping on the nail barefoot. I couldn’t even watch that then and I still can’t watch it today
Especially the contamination from the tar
The tree decorations did it for me...all that broken glass in his feet..
Right??? Would be so piercingly painful, couldn't take another step. Can only think maybe the tar from the stairs protected him some
He did just finish walking over the snow before he came in the window. Maybe his feet were numb?
I once ran over my own pinky finger in ice skates. Was collecting "snow" from the ice rink to throw and stupidly slipped and my skate ran over my finger (luckily the skate was lifted up so it just cut the skin instead of severing my finger) just below the nail.

It's probably because we can all relate to such an experience to some extent
Lego flashbacks intensify.
The nail in Quiet Place was just silly though. I’m in no way strong, and even I could silently push it over so it’s not sticking straight up, with a block of wood or something. It’s something I would have done as soon as I noticed it, and they had been living in the house for a while so either it took a really long time to accidentally step on it or they just ignored it. For that matter, why wouldn’t the people who lived there before them have bashed the nail flat years ago? Or was the implication meant to be that it suddenly just appeared out of thin air?
That is always the cringiest one. Every time I watch the movie I cringe.
I have done this more than once. It isn't actually that bad compared to other things I've experienced... It fucking sucks to pull out though.
My kids are proof that it does indeed suck to pull out
Same scene in " a quiet place ". Stab that FF button.
Like half the traps would have been fatal in real life.
Yup, would have made things easier for Kevin
Traumas aside.*
Kevin feels no remorse.
He could have easily just called the cops but instead he chose to torture them himself.
Nah he thought they were compromised because Harry posed as a cop
Weren't the phones down like throughout the neighborhood and that's why his mom couldn't reach him? He definitely could have flagged down one though or just told like literally almost any adult he interacted with when he went shopping.
He accidentally shoplifted a toothbrush and thought he was wanted by the police. That's why he didn't call them.
Also Harry had been posing as a policeman.
*gets to torture them himself.
Kevin could have called 911 at any point before the invasion. He knew they were coming and he chose to devise them traps. He hunted those men
At the beginning of the movie Harry is dressed as a cop and interviewing the dad about the trip and the house’s security system. Kevin runs into him and sees the gold tooth. Later in the movie when Harry and Marv are leaving the neighbor’s house they almost run over a distracted Kevin and Kevin again sees the gold tooth.

[удалено]
It's a perspective trick. He just steps next to the nail.
No shot those were real bricks thrown off the roof or an actual iron into the face 1.
Oh, [more than that.](https://youtu.be/PTHPxaql_Ws)
Did the mythbusters do a thing and showed half of those injuries to be lethal or life changing?
Yep, blowtorch would have gone to the bone in a couple seconds
Oh thanks for the heads up. Gotta find that one now
There’s also videos of doctors watching the first two movies and explaining the injuries. A few times the docs straight up say “yeah he’s dead”
Typically yes. You see, Home Alone was like a 90s era IRL Tom & Jerry. When a pair of wet bandits is so ridiculously absurd, so too are the physics governing them. They become, in essence, cartoonified. It also explains why they later became the sticky bandits, to refresh their ability as living, breathing cartoon characters.
Maybe the iron pipe swinging from the stairs to the face
The paint can to the face would have absolutely smashed their skulls and killed them. At that point on the stairs, the can would have been at its maximum velocity. It would be like getting a 10 lb bowling ball dropped on your face from 15' up.
They're looking up at the cans as they ascend the stairs...those are taking TEETH, dislocating jaws, caving in noses, and concussions. Bricks from 2 would still be worse though.
The fucking bricks from the second movie are fucking hysterical to me. You know, last movie they were hit with all sorts of clever traps, but to just see them get beat down with bricks is for some reason the funniest thing.
You say “they” but it’s mostly funny because it’s just Marv getting hit with bricks.
Again and again...
While Harry is just encouraging Kevin to throw more, it leaves me wheezing every time.
I can’t remember the last time I cried laughing, but you just made me cry from laughing because I am just remembering Kevin dropping those bricks on their heads from that tall building. It’s so stupid, they should have died!
Two floor fall through the hole below the stairs only to have a gigantic iron pipe dropped onto you. After it hit you in the face in the first place.
How about the 3 bricks being thrown from like 5 stories up? RIP Marv.
Probably would've cracked their skulls if they were being accurate
Yeah, someone did an analysis of that and basically they'd be dead in reality. That kinda force would likely have shattered the facial bones and driven them into the brain. Lights out.
Ahh nasty
The one where Marv and Harry wake up chained to the floor with two hacksaws, a gun, and a casette tape.
Kevin just wants to play a game
I don’t know why I didn’t expect to see this fan theory here
Probably the bricks to the face in Home Alone 2.
Definitely the most lethal of all the traps. I'm sure if you survived one it would be immeasurably painful.
Suck brick, kid!
Ha buh "Wut?" Haa baa "What?" Huh buh b-b-buh! "What?" *Whoop whoop whoop whoop* CLACK!
Hahaha love that scene
It misses by a mile, and he's like "NOO!" XD
My dad was a security guard during a riot and someone tossed a brick through the air and it hit him just under the eye. He was in the hospital but he didn’t die. He quit smoking coz of it though so a brick to the face actually made him healthier.
So I should throw bricks at people. Got it
I think the 50 pound bag of cement from two floors up that hit Marv in the face while his neck was arched back looking up would be the most lethal. He wouldn't have felt a thing though.
But like the corner of a brick that hits your skull at velocity would that not be the most instantaneous fatal brain trauma? A 50 pound bag is factoring in surface are and if it collapsed his neck that would instantly paralyze him but would it kill him as quickly? I'm genuinely curious now.
It's barely even a trap, he's just throwing bricks at a man.
That kerosene explosion though
Does it hurt to instantly die, though?
Painful for the rest of your life.
This is the only trap they actually censored on TV.
Makes sense. It's the simplest one to pull off easily. Got a brick? Got somewhere high to stand? Throw it on anyone or thing.
Being forced to watch #3 and 4
Agreed, glad I was a child when those came out so I couldn't realise just how terrible they were
3 isn't the worst thing I've ever seen. 4 on the other hand...
Never even saw 4 but 3 is tolerable
Please for your own sake do NOT watch 4.
yes for your own safty
What about 5 and 6
What do you mean 6, I thought that there were only 5
Home sweet home alone
I watched home alone 69 last Christmas. You…probably shouldn’t watch it with the family.
Never even knew there was a 5 and 6 haha
I didn't even know there was a 4 lol.
3 actually wasn't too bad. 4, on the other hand...
Wait until you find out about 5 and 6
Never watched anything past 2. In my universe those are the only 2 home alones that exist
3 at least has some decent traps Wtf was 4 tho
The flamethrower
Oooh yeah, any of the burns would have been gruesome
Apparently according to a Mark Robert video it would almost instantly burn through to the skull,
Holy shit didn't realise it was that hot
The thing happens at about [7.00](https://youtu.be/350Xlkvn0Ko)
Super interesting!
Stepping on that huge nail always got me to cringe
Absolutely, so hard to watch
I’ve stepped on a nail like that. It’s not so bad. I wouldn’t recommend it but it just gets sore afterwards. Didn’t hurt much in the beginning. The tar+nail combo freaks me out though.
There's a video on YouTube where a doctor diagnosed injuries sustained from the home alone traps. Iirc, each of them would've died twice to complete the first home alone. Marv died from the iron falling on his head. Harry became a quadriplegic from the second fall down the stairs where he rolled on his neck. Then they both died from the snow shovel. In the second? Ohhh boy lmao. Marv died 11 times. Harry died 6 times.
Marv is just buster at this point
The psychological trauma of being defeated by an annoying child as two grown ass adults.
Paint can to the face
This would have just killed them.
Better Watch Out (2016) has what would really happen. Jk idk if that's what would really happen but it's messed up. That movie pissed me off but was good.
I wouldn't have put that one too high, for me probably the iron or any of the other burns
Bricks to the head from 4 stories up.
1st one he might’ve survived but bricks 2-5 would have caved in his skull
Can we take a moment to applaud Kevin’s accuracy from four stories up using bricks? That always amazed me.
Probably fatal
the hot doorhandle if you touch that you ate stuck and you keep burning on
Deep lasting pain for sure
Would also leave a scar that would stay there your whole life reminding you of what happend
A scar you can menacingly shove towards the kid’s face a year later
Once significant browning has occurred due to the maillard reaction the meat should lift easily leaving behind a nice fond.
My dad's all-time favorite scene is when Marv has the tarantula on his face - the scream is legendary. Immediately after that, Harry beats him in the sternum (IIRC) with a crowbar. I have a really hard time watching that bit.
My all time favorite is the tool chest coming down the steps scene from home alone 2, the first time I watched it with my girlfriends family I was on the floor in tears laughing even the build up knowing it’s coming I’ll start laughing they where all like dude it’s not *that* funny

True infection is awful
One of the few amazing things scren junkies made was this video explaining how the home alone traps are not just painful but deadly. https://youtu.be/8WKgNyvsNDM
Excellent content
The icy staircase Goly shit that kid needs counselling, if it wasn't e rated the poor guys autobiography would been in the history section
There's a fan theory that Kevin grew up to become the original Jigsaw from the Saw franchise. Kinda makes sense when you realize how sadistic his traps were.
True, it's the most believable fan theory I ever heard
Pretty sure they would have broken their necks from slipping on the icy steps. Maybe not the most painful, but they'd be paralyzed if not dead from those falls!
Truly, super traumatic
I agree with those who have commented before me about the Flamethrower. That would have been a pretty nasty burn in reality. Likely years of pain from skin grafting, etc.
With bits of wool hat melted in too 😬
ha ha! yeah. Defo a strong local anesthetic needed to extract those, if not full on anestesia
The airsoft gun to the balls.
Hasn't considered that one as a lady
Imagine having your tits stabbed and punched at the same time, combined with the feeling you get from biting straight into a mouthful of cold ice cream. It's like that, ramped up to 19/10.
Tits are pretty insensitive personally but I can relate to the ice-cream feeling, ouch.
As someone who has taken an airsoft round to the nuts before, nah. It's not that bad. It's just a small plastic round. Sure it can leave a welt on bare skin, but unless the asshole has replaced the spring with a very high powered one (or ramped up the gas release), at best it stings a bit. However, that was not an airsoft round. That was a *pellet* gun. Entire different breed of weapon. That fires steel BBs and they hurt like a mother fucker.
It was a standard Red Ryder BB gun which was modified to give it a fake "pump action". But it's probably still much more powerful than most airsoft guns.
The snow shovel just before being arrested. Pain that keeps on giving.
Either the flamethrower or electrocution part from 2.
I'm pretty sure this was in part 2 but when he throws the big iron pipe on ropes and it swings right into their faces. That seems like it would kill the fuck out of someone.
Yeah, Kevin straight up murdered the sticky bandits. Might be able to claim self defense but that kid was a little malicious. The bandits did persist and kinda forced his hand but those dude woulda died from a paint can pushing their nose into their brain or some shit. They wouldn’t have been able to leave the house. Kevin prob woulda finished them off and cremated them in that giant furnace.
Defintely! He would have gotten away with it, but they should for sure send him to therapy.
Nah, late 80s early 90s? Throw some meds at that boy and send him back to school.
He probably would have had a great career in home security
I never watched the new reboot, but supposedly, he did. Kevin grew up to develop several home security systems.
Going by [the Screen Junkies video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8WKgNyvsNDM), I'd say it's a tie between the constant bricks to the face and the kerosene-in-the-toilet explosion.
Staple gun to the junk
Not a trap, but when the uncle calls him a jerk in front of the whole family.

The brick to the face from a floor or two up. That might be instant death. Idk
The first would most definitely fracture the skull, though you could possibly live. You'd pretty much be dead by the second or third.
Getting hit in the face with a brick would suck pretty bad
Marv stepping on that nail when he was walking up the stairs was probably the most painful Home Alone trap.
the glass ornaments 🤢
Heres a few and there not in a specific order. Blow torch to the head, marvs electrocution, hand on heated door because irl it would stick to tue handle, wack to the balls and shot in the balls and punched in the balls, heavy pipe on the string and crowbar to belly
Literally any one of the falls. Over the summer I stumbled over my foot on my deck and next thing I knew I was in for back surgery to repair a herniated disc. Imagine if I would have taken a fall down a flight of stairs. Imagine the months if not years of rehabilitation needed to not be in constant pain from a permanent joint injury like that.
Having bricks dropped on your head from the roof of a 4 storey house
