For the most part, Home Alone 1’s traps would inflict injuries that would never heal in your lifetime, while Home Alone 2’s traps would kill you without a doubt.
Actually in Home Alone 1, the paint can to the face would have a 40-45% chance to crack your skull (info from Mark Rober), inducing unconsciousness and a probable brain bleed, which would cause death if untreated. That’s the biggest one but there are multiple traps that would infect open wounds (nail in the tar), crack vertebrae (falling on ice, iron down the laundry chute and basically any injury where something falls on your head), puncture a lung (crowbar to the sternum), etc. But yes, I 100% agree that Home Alone 2’s traps are way worse
@@The_Risen_Phoenix I can see your point, but more casual-minded folks like myself would think that there’s a small chance for Harry and Marv to barely survive all of the traps in Home Alone 1 realistically speaking. But for Home Alone 2’s traps, there’s absolutely no chance Harry and Marv would be able to survive at all.
@@supersaiyanfox9190 Right, there’s a theoretical chance that they could have survived in #1 if they got lucky, and I fully agree with you on #2. Also let’s not forget that we’re talking about a movie here 😂
Fun fact: Joe Pesci actually said this was his hardest role, since he couldn't cuss like a sailor like he usually did in his movies. Hence the angry pained gibberish he spouts instead.
I've always thought of the Home Alone movies as essentially being a "live action cartoon." That's what makes it seem acceptable. It may be real actors, but we see them more as Tom and Jerry or Ren and Stimpy or Coyote and Roadrunner than anything else.
I agree, I mean the idea is that Kevin is taking out burglars with cartoonish violence, does it really matter what damage could be inflicted in reality? I mean no one is crazy enough to try these in reality
Harry and Marv's durability actually give credence to the theory that they're Kevin's Christmas Angels that are sent to remind Kevin of his Christmas spirit whenever he starts to lose it. Every time they appear, he understands the meaning of family and makes peace with those who wronged him.
The fact that Harry and Marv survive these house traps, not to mention relatively unscathed with no external bleeding (maybe internal, though it does not seem to affect their agility), shows that Home Alone 1 and 2 are sci-fi comedies which cannot be replicated in real-life. Pretty impressive they shot these scenes without computer effects.
My guess is that they used foam rubber for things like the pipe and bricks, judging by the fact that you can see that they weren't doing head takes on the pipe whack.
There's an ER doctor with a RUclips channel that actually analyzed all the trauma suffered by the villains in these films, as well as a lawyer with a RUclips channel as well, who looked from a legal standpoint what charges could have been filed against Kevin.
2:20 i had a relative who slipped on ice, broke his neck, and survived. however, he was confined to a wheelchair for the rest of his life and eventually had to live in a nursing home. the doctors had told his wife that he would’ve been better off had he not survived. i was always VERY careful walking on ice after that.
@@Thisguyisscissors sadly he passed away two years ago from unrelated reasons, but he did spend the rest of his life a quadriplegic. he lived for over twenty years following the accident and his wife helped him daily, his children stayed home to help too, but life was very hard. however they were all very happy and there was a lot of love in the home. even though life was extremely difficult he made the most of it. he was still lucid and while he struggled with depression following the accident he was still the same person as he was the day before.
@@nadinerusso0808Good to hear that his wife and children stayed loyal to him. If I had a wife and kids and somehow ended up paralysed, I would seriously worry that they would decide that they can’t cope with me and would leave. I read about an Ivorian rugby player called Max Brito, who broke his neck playing for the Ivory Coast against Tonga at the 1995 World Cup and spent the rest of his life as a quadriplegic, being cared for by his parents. His wife left him, while his sons, in his words, only ever visited to get money from him so that they could buy things.
That "Home Alone 3" scene with the lawnmower is filmed like a straight up horror movie. Even the guy's off-screen screaming is terrifying. It's like something more akin to "Sinister".
@@egeorgiades93 Yeah I watched 3 last year on streaming (after not seeing it for 20+ years) and it was actually better than I remember but still not close to 1 & 2
As a kid the electric sink scene always disturbed me. It feels like it lasts forever, and I have always had a fear of electricution. I still get a weird feeling watching it now.

Imagine if Kevin McAllister as an adult was enlisted in the military.. he could have killed Several terrorists using the same traps that he used on harry and Marv regardless of their ability to kill someone in real life
@@zacharycardon2353 like a spinoff or sequel of the first two movies... Imagine an adult Kevin McAllister serving in the US army and with some of his surviving comrades fighting off a group of comically incompetent terrorists who are attempting to take over their camp.. it would also be fun to see redeemed versions of Harry and Marv making a cameo
Those bricks would have exploded Marv's head like a watermelon. A falling brick killed Alex from Final Destination but Marv just gets marks and is woozy.
the kids in my neighborhood used to throw pebble rocks and several did hit me across my head and arms and legs. Of course I was doing the same and I remember this one kid that was riding his rollerblades down a driveway and I threw a sidekick and he went flying off his feet and he impacted and he feel on his chin and busted some of his teeth out. I actually got in SERIOUS TROUBLE for his injuries afterwards
I always loved how traps like these gave meaning to the phrase "Don't try this at home" lol, hell i'll bet if anyone got killed by traps like these in real life they would've ended up on 1000 Ways To Die.
Man, Harry and Marv are the Wile E. Coyote and Thomas Cat of the Home Alone series. They suffer so much physical abuse, much of which would probably kill a person in real life, and yet they always get back up, alive and kicking
Got to give a lot of praise to the stunt performers of these movies, especially in regards to the "ice slip & falls." As highlighted in the Netflix series, "The Movies That Made Us," episode of "Home Alone," the stunt performers of the slips not only performed the stunts so brilliantly that the crews filming the stunts cringed (or even turned away) when the performers executed the falls, the stunt performers also insisted on doing multiple takes to make sure the falls looked absolutely horrific.
And yet through it all, the famously foul-mouthed actor who played Harry managed to keep himself from swearing on-camera. Talk about dedication to your craft.
When I first watched Home Alone 2, I actually thought Marv was dead when the shelf fell on him. The paint fumes alone would mess with his brain, not to mention the cans and shelf crushing his skull.
When I first saw these movies as a kid, I was really into the old Looney Tunes cartoons with anvils being dropped on people's heads. Though I knew never to try the things I saw in the cartoons or these movies in real life, I did have a tendency to overestimate human durability back then. Saw these movies again a few years ago and I was really shocked by how lethal most of Kevin's traps were. Oh how your perceptions changes from childhood to adulthood!
Ahaha for real! I thought the same as I kid, and when I’ve watched in the last couple years I’m like HOLY WOW this is truly awful what this kid is doing and violent.
When Harry says “No!” in a tiny voice right before getting skweeshed by the pipe, it just might be my favorite line in Lost In New York. It made me burst out laughing as a kid, and still tickles my funny bone even decades later.
2:01 - This exact thing happened to me about ten years ago while I was walking from work to the subway in Boston during an ice storm. I stepped onto the ice-coated top step of the entrance to the Arlington Street station, only to fall backwards onto my posterior and then slide down the entire flight of icy concrete stairs to the platform. Dangerous? Yes, but I was lucky enough to walk away with only a bruised tailbone.
Can confirm that falling down a flight of stairs sucks. Although in my cause, it wasn't an icy flight of concrete stairs. I was lucky I didn't crack my skull open when I got to the bottom...
I've watched both *"Home Alone"* and *"Home Alone 2 - Lost in New York",* and as entertaining as both movies were, I've often wondered how the actors, Joe Pesci and Dan'l Stern *("Marv and Harry")* managed to survived all that happened throughout the movie. Most of the attacks against them were so brutal that even a stunt person would've gotten killed if hit in the right part of the body. I cannot imagine dunking one's one head into a toilet filled with kerosine and surviving the explosion. How the hell Harry survived is beyond me, or how about Harry and Marv getting hit in the face by a pipe. What the hell?! And there's no way anyone could've survived being hit in the face by bricks.
I would assume the paint cans and other objects were rubber or foam so they wouldn’t hurt as much. The explosion in the 2nd one happened when no one was in the bathroom and Joe just lifted his head afterwards and edited it after filming
@@jasoncarpp7742 o for sure there’s no way anyone would’ve survived that. Talking 2nd and 3rd degree burns and more. I’m sure they had something explode in that room and they filmed Pesci after that
A falling brick killed Alex in Final Destination but Harry takes 4 and just sees triple and stands up woozy. His head would have exploded like a watermelon. No way could he take 3 more bricks and survived.
I agree. Harry and Marv basically prove they aren't even human if they can survive traps that, if done in real life, will legit kill a person (and send the one who set the trap to prison or even death row).
To be fair- most- if not even ALL of these traps ARE considered self-defense, meaning that even if Harry and Marv (or the bad guys from Home Alone 3) were killed, they technically brought it upon themselves for trying to kill children!
"I'll give the Golden Chainsaw for coolest kill to electric sink. Frying Marv down to the skeleton is b-b-b-b-bad to the bone. Dull Machete for lamest kill goes to slipping on ice which fell and couldn't get up."
The platinum pungie stick goes to the head flame trap its just really funny and pretty unique. Rusty mousetrap goes to the fake gun trap its seems lame and was dumb for him to fall for the trap
The iron wasn't hot in Home Alone. It's not plugged in. It's just used for weight. Harry's face is red because of the impact. The hot things were the BBQ heater on the doorknob and the flame thrower in the kitchen.
Also the Frozen over swimming pool hidden under a loosened trampoline. The kid pulled the pool ladder out beforehand, and they likely wouldn't have had been able to pull themselves out of the pool, and even if they did, their wet clothes would've left them very likely to die from hypothermia.
Did you guys see the videos where ER doctors and nurses react to Home Alone 1 & 2 injuries? Also, I get how Kevin seems sadistic lighting the rope on fire, but you're missing the point he's getting chased by two crooks who want to KILL him.
What about the Marvs 10 ft fall? Also every time I watch Home Alone 2 , I can’t help but wonder how pissed the contractor must have been when he came back to work after the holidays. There’s varnish spilled out side, a shelf of paint fallen over, tools scattered at the back door, a bag of concrete smashed, and what could possibly be the only functioning bathroom blown up.
HomeAlone2’s rendition of Carol of the Bells as Kevin sets his traps lives rent free in my head. (The only arrangement that can compete with it is Trans Siberian Orchestra’s.)
Nice to see a Home Alone 3 trap on the list. Jernigan's fall through several floors and the barbell falling on Beaupre and Unger are deadly traps too though.
The exploding toilet in Home Alone 2 has got to be my favourite. A couple of honourable mentions: the large bag of tools over the back door and the staple gun (need I say more?) in Home Alone 2.
I still remember the day when my family and I went to watch Home Alone 2, my uncles and I, and the entire theater bussed out in laughter at the sight of the Skeleton Electrocution.
I probably would’ve taken my chances with the falling items (paint cans, the hot iron, the bricks, etc). I would definitely had dodged them before the death inflicting impact.
@5:34, I wonder about the dust from the cement. I don't think that it's safe to breathe in that stuff. @8:56, this reminded me of the cartoon. Tom Cat looked at his tail two times and then panicked in one episode. @10:15, I now have an idea of how you can execute a prisoner by stoning (throwing rocks) in the Old Testament.
I get that the first two movies are classics (my family watches them every year) but seriously the third had seriously deadly traps. Before the lawnmower, Burton was electrocuted, thrown into a wall (twice). Mr Unger was also electrocuted, then he and dupree had a trunk full of books dropped on them, followed by a loaded gym weight. Alice had a packed flower pot to the head (twice), the first time she fell face first into mud while unconscious from the pot. Unger and Burton jump from the attic into the pool. So that height plus freezing cold water while in a snow storm, yeah, definitely dead. Then Alice follows in their unlucky steps by falling butt-first down the dumbwaiter shaft. Dupreee got off easier than the others, until the end. Not sure if he'd survive a snowfort lined with fireworks. At least seriously scarred.
I'm glad it's finally acknowledged that these traps can kill you in real life! As I grew up watching these movies, the more I came to realize the reality in these traps.
I still watch the first two movies every year around Christmas, and I still laugh my ass off at these traps. I think I'm a sadist. Oh, and I feel like the trunk from the third movie should've gotten a mention. A large, heavy trunk full of thick, possibly heavy books falling on someone's head does not sound survivable. Like, at all. I don't even think you need the books.
In movie 2 when they play the scene when the workers at the hotel listen to the movie while it says, you have been smooching with everyone! Even Cliff, and there was a worker named cliff I laughed so hard, also them saying I love you? To kevin, they also seemed so scared with the gun noises
Just listening to Marv whimpering as Kevin aims the last brick always puts a smile on my face. Almost as good as that no doubt genuine scream in the first movie when a live tarantula is put on his face.
When I was a small child, Kevin messing with the burglars with his traps was a horror film but now I see it's comedy. Also Macauley Culkin has compared Kevin to Henry Evans saying he is the dark side of him but because Kevin was empathy and love, he directs his cruelty towards those who does harm for others while Henry has no love and passion so he targets his own family and those close to him.
Despite all those crazy traps, they eventually managed to corner Kevin and then someone deals a final blow to them. First case, that neighbor, Marley, he at first feared because of rumors, then a partly creepy but gentle pigeon lady. Yeah, in reality, they wouldn't have been able to do such a thing from all those insane traps, they would certainly be dead.
It's rather hilarious that a falling iron couldn't knock out Marv, but a snow shovel to the back of the head KO's him instantly. Could have been aggregate damage, I suppose, lol.
"Skull Fracture with Epidural Hematoma. Marv is Dead." "Skull Fracture with Epidural Hematoma. Marv is Dead." "Skull Fracture with Epidural Hematoma. Marv is Dead." "Skull Fracture with Epidural Hematoma. Marv is Dead."
The pipe much not have been overly heavy because Kevin was able to lift it up. Everyone has slipped on ice and most of them have survived The electric sink is a very good one to actually kill anyone. Paint can to the face will definitely cause some bruises, a broken nose, and even lost teeth, it is also clear those weren’t full because of the paint on the side. The cement bag is another one that can kill someone. The kerosene rope will just lead to burns which is survivable. The lawnmower would have mulched the guys head plain and simple. The iron to the face would definitely lead to some brain damage but I don’t think it would lead to death. The toilet would definitely kill anyone. An enclosed area with an explosion would have killed a person for sure. Falling bricks can be dangerous but not necessary enough to kill a person.
Depending on the height anything can kill you. So yes falling bricks can absolutely lead to death. You’d be surprised the things that could potentially lead to death
@@ErikDayne Think of a ⚾️, if I gently drop it on your head, it might only sting for a second. If I throw it as hard as I can it might seriously hurt you and do some damage but you'll live. If I take the same ⚾️ and put it in a slingshot and stretch it back 50 feet and let go, it's gonna destroy your face. It's not the size of the object but the speed. 100 pds of feathers falling on you from the top of a building is the same as 100 pds of bricks. 100 pounds is 100 pounds. If a penny could gather enough speed then yes it could kill you.
Saw a RUclips video of Doctor Mike reviewing the Home Alone traps and he kept shaking his head saying: Yeah, you're dead. Over and over again. He was hilarious but at the same time brutally honest about real life survival chances. One of the funniest was Harry setting his head on fire the way he just stood there he groaned and yelled "MOVE!"
That one where they're climbing hand-over-hand to Kevin's treehouse and he cuts the rope, sending them swinging into a brick wall like a suburban George of the Jungle? That merited an honorable mention, in my opinion.
Man... When Harry slips on the stairs and falls back, I always feel that one in my bones. Maybe it's just the sound, but I think that was the one trap in the first one I honestly felt and actually sorta felt bad for Harry and Marv. And as someone who nearly broke his leg slipping on frozen stairs back when I worked in a ski resort, yes, I can attest that falling on ice is a great way to get major injuries. I got lucky I didn't actually break my leg the way I landed. Honestly, I feel like my kneecap should have shattered the way I landed, along with other things.
One theory that can be found here on RUclips (and maybe other sites) is that Harry and Marv were seen as Kevin's guardian angels sent to teach Kevin the importance of family no matter how difficult they are. That's how they could withstand so much punishment. That of course won't explain how the crooks in 3, 5 and 6 (well...) could handle it..
I’d really like to see a rated r version of home alone where about 75% of the traps would be lethal. And rather than one kid against two idiot criminals, it would be a highly trained professional against a group of professional criminals/mercenaries. If this was the case who you’ll you pick to play the main character? My top choices would probably be some of the top action actors like Keanu Reeves, Liam Neeson, Jason Statham, Samuel L Jackson, etc.
7:45 there is alot of misconception about the iron to the face. It wasn't plugged in and it just smashed him in the face causing a inpact mark for the humor side. It is not a burn
The electric sink electrocution is definitely #1. It's the most deadly trap in the Home Alone franchise by far. #2 is either Harry getting his head blown up in the toilet or Marv getting bricks smashed to his face. The Home Alone 2 traps are far more deadly than the first movie
The older I got, the funnier it gets to me!🤣(that doesn't make me a sadist, right?)It's so simple it can hardly even be called a trap but, that's death. The first one, alone; a direct hit to the head? Marv is dead or needs to go to the ER immediately.
Not to mention other injuries Harry could’ve sustained from falling down the stairs, such as ankle, knee, elbow, and arm injuries are certainly possible.
I know these traps would kill you, but given the 24-31-year gap between the 1st 3 “Home Alone” movies since 1990, I’m still watching them & laughing at how Marv, Harry, & the other 4 villains from “Home Alone 3” get hurt because of the traps set by Kevin & Alex. It’s funny how Kevin gets more savage with his traps in “Home Alone 2: Lost In New York”. The bricks to Marv’s face & the exploding toilet to Harry’s head were no exception. There should’ve been at least 4 or 5 honorable mentions since there’s so many traps. Please make another list regarding this topic, WatchMojo, & include 4 or 5 honorable mentions again. I wanna hear more about these traps, WatchMojo.
The arc welder on the sink is also insanely dangerous, the model used in the movie is the Lincoln electric AC-225 arc welder. Plugs into a 50 amp 240 V outlet and can produce up to 225 A of current on the output side, average house in the US is between 150 and 200 A capacity for the entire place.
I love this look back on this franchise, it was hilarious what Kevin does to the men who intend to hurt him. You're right, though, any of this in reality would spell instant death! LOL
if i had to choose one of the options mentioned that happened in this video id go with the slipping on ice ...the closest i ever done to that was fall down 3 steps and while walking on the street so not as bad as the two situations they went through in this movie but still have a good idea of how much it must have hert and figure would be less painful then the other options
Funny thing is that aside from the mower and the cement - most of these the line between fatal and not is really down to specifics and all. It's been a while - but given the paint on the cans they likely aren't full - and where they hit while their should be blood from broken noses and teeth - is survivable, same with the pipe. The explosion when you look is more flash than bang - which it's the shockwave that does the damage. If you look before and after there's no real damage, just scorching, in all likelihood he's extra crispy, but alive. People have survived falls from way higher than 3 stories (and the scaffold gives immediately enough that it likely slowed him down) and electrocution, there's a lot of science that goes in to what forms will just jolt you and what will kill you. The bricks and iron are more likely to cause potential fatal damage - but again, there is a certain amount of chance to it all and comes down to as well to absolute specifics - and possibly a hard head. That said while they may be a tad more survivable than you guys make out - ones like the sink are no less Jigsaw like, and any one of them should have for the most part incapacitated Harry and Marv for Kevin to summon the cops, and if not - likely driven them off unless they are masochists and thirsty for more.
I’m pretty sure the electrocution would have killed Marv. I mean we see Kevin upping the voltage. So much so that Marv turns into a skeleton for a second. Good thing he is immortal, because that would have definitely killed him.
@@madelinestraumanis219 It's not simply the voltage that kills though - it's the current. If it's not just right, and doesn't pass through a vital organ like the heart, people have survived 40,000 volts of electricity. As well as a matter of time - only 10 seconds, which is less time, and in this case also way less voltage not applied directly to things like the brain, then Electric Chairs used to use to execute someone. Even the fact his hands appear to be dry and is still wearing gloves lowering the contact point is a factor in how well the electricity enters his body. The 'seeing the skeleton' is just pure comedic/shock effect depending on the person. Marv is definitely in pain, possibly burned, and in all likelihood soiled himself - but a pretty fair chance that comedic skeleton showing aside he's alive.
The pipe also probably wasn't all that heavy, given how easily Kevin lifted and threw it. Not sure what the real thing would weigh, but I'm pretty sure the prop was less than 5 lbs.
@@anthony7697 Its not the voltage that kills you, its actually the amps. What if I told you, I could run 20,000 volts through you, and you'll live? Meanwhile, I hook your brother up to a car battery, and he'll die? The higher the voltage, the less the amperage. The lower the voltage, the MORE the amperage. Since amperage (if memory serves me correctly) is resistance. Our own bodies have electricity (though comparatively small) and we act as our own natural conductors of it. So what does this have to do with Marv? Most likely scenario will be that without a doubt would've shit and pissed himself. Shaking uncontrollably but his hands would've been scorched. To which Kevin upping the volts lead credentials to the fan theory of Kevin growing up to be Saw!!! It wouldn't of killed Marv per se, it would've fucked him up pretty good though.
Till one week ago, I didn't even know there are more than 2 movies. In Germany the movies are called "Kevin alone at home" and "Kevin alone in New York". So I get why it's hard to get the third one without Kevin. But I'm also glad the other movies didn't polarize that much in Germany due to the lack of quality after loosing Kevin

now baby day out
Ice highest survival rate
A shotgun!
For the most part, Home Alone 1’s traps would inflict injuries that would never heal in your lifetime, while Home Alone 2’s traps would kill you without a doubt.
Yeah, Kevin went from 0 to 100 real quick.
If they had made a Home Alone 3 with the same Kevin and Harry & Marv, there's no doubt that by that time Kevin would have been using nuclear warheads.
Actually in Home Alone 1, the paint can to the face would have a 40-45% chance to crack your skull (info from Mark Rober), inducing unconsciousness and a probable brain bleed, which would cause death if untreated. That’s the biggest one but there are multiple traps that would infect open wounds (nail in the tar), crack vertebrae (falling on ice, iron down the laundry chute and basically any injury where something falls on your head), puncture a lung (crowbar to the sternum), etc.
But yes, I 100% agree that Home Alone 2’s traps are way worse

Fun fact: Joe Pesci actually said this was his hardest role, since he couldn't cuss like a sailor like he usually did in his movies. Hence the angry pained gibberish he spouts instead.

I knew it… I knew it… my grandfather used to do the same thing when he wanted to cuss 😂😂😂
no lie it would be funny as shit if was able to curse during these scenes.
I've always thought of the Home Alone movies as essentially being a "live action cartoon." That's what makes it seem acceptable. It may be real actors, but we see them more as Tom and Jerry or Ren and Stimpy or Coyote and Roadrunner than anything else.
Well, there is that skeleton from the second movie.
It was very unexpected how it got huge in 1990 by KO Rocky V at that time.
I agree, I mean the idea is that Kevin is taking out burglars with cartoonish violence, does it really matter what damage could be inflicted in reality? I mean no one is crazy enough to try these in reality
Pretty much this, yeah. It's a live-action cartoon.

Ok
@@Lego_mankey it’s a joke lol
Only a Sith speaks in absolute!
Nothing says Christmas spirit like murder.

My guess is that they used foam rubber for things like the pipe and bricks, judging by the fact that you can see that they weren't doing head takes on the pipe whack.
Or maybe harry and marv have strong immunity systems i think, just like how some drunk men can drink 50 bottles of beer with a strong liver
@@josslarryliu4315 Well, I meant in real life.
That’s what i meant
@@josslarryliu4315 As in the actors.
Harry: “I cross my heart and hope to die.”
Kevin: “Say no more.”
Acceptable terms.
Kevin: gladly
"Live or die, make your choice."
If I were the Kevin in the movie... I would have said "I was hoping you'd say that"
All of these Kevin responses are so much better then mine lmao
There's an ER doctor with a RUclips channel that actually analyzed all the trauma suffered by the villains in these films, as well as a lawyer with a RUclips channel as well, who looked from a legal standpoint what charges could have been filed against Kevin.
Omg seriously 😂
Ok that I need to watch, kevin would be dubbed a menace to society xD
Oh, I’ve watched the ER doc reaction to it, but not the lawyer one yet.
Several other doctors did so too.
Tbf, they valued their life over his property. They knew what could happen.
2:20 i had a relative who slipped on ice, broke his neck, and survived. however, he was confined to a wheelchair for the rest of his life and eventually had to live in a nursing home. the doctors had told his wife that he would’ve been better off had he not survived. i was always VERY careful walking on ice after that.
They are surely lucky! Hope they are doing good! 🙏 😊

He died
@@nadinerusso0808Good to hear that his wife and children stayed loyal to him. If I had a wife and kids and somehow ended up paralysed, I would seriously worry that they would decide that they can’t cope with me and would leave.

His wife left him, while his sons, in his words, only ever visited to get money from him so that they could buy things.
That "Home Alone 3" scene with the lawnmower is filmed like a straight up horror movie. Even the guy's off-screen screaming is terrifying. It's like something more akin to "Sinister".
Why Roger Ebert liked 3 more than the first two boggles my mind.
@@santos8468 While not a bad movie, to say “better then 1 & 2” makes me think he also took a brick to the head at one point.
@@egeorgiades93 Yeah I watched 3 last year on streaming (after not seeing it for 20+ years) and it was actually better than I remember but still not close to 1 & 2
It looked like a snow blower to me.
It's like that kill from the 2019 Child's Play.
As a kid the electric sink scene always disturbed me. It feels like it lasts forever, and I have always had a fear of electricution. I still get a weird feeling watching it now.
Home Alone 2 is mean and sadistic, I just like the first movie
being electrocuted will fry your brain, and you're already dead...
Chris Columbus was in the (left) background of that shot when Marv let go and fell over. Turn up the volume and you can hear quiet wheezing laughter.
For me it's hilarious but I understand it was dangerous.
Yeah, and his screams were like... some horror movie stuff
Man you got to admit Harry and Marv have some super strong plot armour...
No joke😂

Imagine if Kevin McAllister as an adult was enlisted in the military.. he could have killed Several terrorists using the same traps that he used on harry and Marv regardless of their ability to kill someone in real life
some of his traps probably would break the Geneva Convention lol
Oh yes! That should be a movie.

@@99mrpogi More amusing than that Keven is Jigsaw theory.
True
Those bricks would have exploded Marv's head like a watermelon. A falling brick killed Alex from Final Destination but Marv just gets marks and is woozy.
Did Marv have plot armor? Strong enough to survive a falling brick?
the kids in my neighborhood used to throw pebble rocks and several did hit me across my head and arms and legs. Of course I was doing the same and I remember this one kid that was riding his rollerblades down a driveway and I threw a sidekick and he went flying off his feet and he impacted and he feel on his chin and busted some of his teeth out.

Man, Harry and Marv are the Wile E. Coyote and Thomas Cat of the Home Alone series. They suffer so much physical abuse, much of which would probably kill a person in real life, and yet they always get back up, alive and kicking
Got to give a lot of praise to the stunt performers of these movies, especially in regards to the "ice slip & falls." As highlighted in the Netflix series, "The Movies That Made Us," episode of "Home Alone," the stunt performers of the slips not only performed the stunts so brilliantly that the crews filming the stunts cringed (or even turned away) when the performers executed the falls, the stunt performers also insisted on doing multiple takes to make sure the falls looked absolutely horrific.
Don't forget that nail oof
And yet through it all, the famously foul-mouthed actor who played Harry managed to keep himself from swearing on-camera. Talk about dedication to your craft.
When I first watched Home Alone 2, I actually thought Marv was dead when the shelf fell on him. The paint fumes alone would mess with his brain, not to mention the cans and shelf crushing his skull.
Same for Van Belt in Jumangi, when the paint shelf falls on him. That also should have killed him.
What a hole!
@@sairi_a He's not a real person. That's excusable.
@@coolnerdlll6053 even still, it would kill someone

Right? I honestly think that was so Daniel Stern’s face didn’t suffer so much 🙃
@@sweetlife031 yaaa, even though he was already covered in paint at the time LOL
When I first saw these movies as a kid, I was really into the old Looney Tunes cartoons with anvils being dropped on people's heads. Though I knew never to try the things I saw in the cartoons or these movies in real life, I did have a tendency to overestimate human durability back then. Saw these movies again a few years ago and I was really shocked by how lethal most of Kevin's traps were. Oh how your perceptions changes from childhood to adulthood!
Ahaha for real! I thought the same as I kid, and when I’ve watched in the last couple years I’m like HOLY WOW this is truly awful what this kid is doing and violent.
Yup. It was Rambo for kids, and nobody got hurt with the slap stick violence. Laurel and Hardy did it all the time.
@@kerrysmith1899 Also the Three Stooges.
9:05 “Harry suddenly becomes an Olympic gymnast” I was laughing so hard that it made this scene even more funnier.
As a kid i always wondered how strong he was to do a handstand push-up
When Harry says “No!” in a tiny voice right before getting skweeshed by the pipe, it just might be my favorite line in Lost In New York. It made me burst out laughing as a kid, and still tickles my funny bone even decades later.
HA2 is by far the funniest one
@@KoolKeithProductions and may be the funniest Home Alone movie ever

Yeah the delivery of the line had me roaring with laughter. He is at his mental limit for pain and I don't blame him.
2:01 - This exact thing happened to me about ten years ago while I was walking from work to the subway in Boston during an ice storm. I stepped onto the ice-coated top step of the entrance to the Arlington Street station, only to fall backwards onto my posterior and then slide down the entire flight of icy concrete stairs to the platform. Dangerous? Yes, but I was lucky enough to walk away with only a bruised tailbone.
Big F
I also slipped on an ice covered step at my grandparents house during Christmas of 2000. I injured my tailbone as well.
Can confirm that falling down a flight of stairs sucks. Although in my cause, it wasn't an icy flight of concrete stairs. I was lucky I didn't crack my skull open when I got to the bottom...
@@ichigopockychan Back in 2014 I I slipped on an icy sidewalk and hit my head. So I can truthfully say I fell on my head. 😆😆😆😆😆😆
Ow
I've watched both *"Home Alone"* and *"Home Alone 2 - Lost in New York",* and as entertaining as both movies were, I've often wondered how the actors, Joe Pesci and Dan'l Stern *("Marv and Harry")* managed to survived all that happened throughout the movie. Most of the attacks against them were so brutal that even a stunt person would've gotten killed if hit in the right part of the body. I cannot imagine dunking one's one head into a toilet filled with kerosine and surviving the explosion. How the hell Harry survived is beyond me, or how about Harry and Marv getting hit in the face by a pipe. What the hell?! And there's no way anyone could've survived being hit in the face by bricks.
I would assume the paint cans and other objects were rubber or foam so they wouldn’t hurt as much. The explosion in the 2nd one happened when no one was in the bathroom and Joe just lifted his head afterwards and edited it after filming
@@aaronbischoff721 It's possible. Unless the exploding toilet was a low level boom!, there's no way in hell Joe Pesci (Harry) would've survived.
@@jasoncarpp7742 o for sure there’s no way anyone would’ve survived that. Talking 2nd and 3rd degree burns and more. I’m sure they had something explode in that room and they filmed Pesci after that
A falling brick killed Alex in Final Destination but Harry takes 4 and just sees triple and stands up woozy. His head would have exploded like a watermelon. No way could he take 3 more bricks and survived.
@@amaiyagrace Well... then again, they probably used foam bricks for both of those scenes so it wouldn't hurt too badly.
Harry and Marv’s screams when they look up and see the varnish about to fall on them kills me!
This movie shows you how much range Joe Pesci has as an actor. The guy is pure talent.

Respect for Harry and Marv surviving all the traps for us 😂😂

@@camera9024No! screw you!
I agree. Harry and Marv basically prove they aren't even human if they can survive traps that, if done in real life, will legit kill a person (and send the one who set the trap to prison or even death row).
To be fair- most- if not even ALL of these traps ARE considered self-defense, meaning that even if Harry and Marv (or the bad guys from Home Alone 3) were killed, they technically brought it upon themselves for trying to kill children!
Their plot armor is almost as strong as Batman. You gotta admit tho, Marv loves looking at things that is about to kill him.
Who you think could easily gone through the traps?
Lmao he does indeed
Home Alone are just straight up live-action Looney Toons 🤣🤣
Ain't that the truth!?
Literally 😂😂😂 exactly what I was saying
Pretty sure that’s what they were going for😂
i was about to write that too, but it's the truth, i mean somehow kevin might be the roadrunner, harry and marv are wiley since so miserably unlucky🤣
"I'll give the Golden Chainsaw for coolest kill to electric sink. Frying Marv down to the skeleton is b-b-b-b-bad to the bone. Dull Machete for lamest kill goes to slipping on ice which fell and couldn't get up."

@stephensnell5707-There are actually 6 movies
The iron wasn't hot in Home Alone. It's not plugged in. It's just used for weight. Harry's face is red because of the impact. The hot things were the BBQ heater on the doorknob and the flame thrower in the kitchen.
It was plugged in before it fell.
Alice falling down the elevator shaft deserved at least a honorable mention.
Or the literal electric chair in Home Alone 3. Or the cue ball gun from Home Sweet Home Alone
Also the Frozen over swimming pool hidden under a loosened trampoline. The kid pulled the pool ladder out beforehand, and they likely wouldn't have had been able to pull themselves out of the pool, and even if they did, their wet clothes would've left them very likely to die from hypothermia.

Did you guys see the videos where ER doctors and nurses react to Home Alone 1 & 2 injuries? Also, I get how Kevin seems sadistic lighting the rope on fire, but you're missing the point he's getting chased by two crooks who want to KILL him.
I saw Dr. Mike react to this. Hes cool
What about the Marvs 10 ft fall? Also every time I watch Home Alone 2 , I can’t help but wonder how pissed the contractor must have been when he came back to work after the holidays. There’s varnish spilled out side, a shelf of paint fallen over, tools scattered at the back door, a bag of concrete smashed, and what could possibly be the only functioning bathroom blown up.
"Stupid teenagers."
Kevin was lucky he didn't set the buildings beside that one on fire when he lit that rope they were climbing down.
Never thought of it like that before….🤔

HomeAlone2’s rendition of Carol of the Bells as Kevin sets his traps lives rent free in my head. (The only arrangement that can compete with it is Trans Siberian Orchestra’s.)
Yeah
Nice to see a Home Alone 3 trap on the list. Jernigan's fall through several floors and the barbell falling on Beaupre and Unger are deadly traps too though.
9:15 that explosion was still funny
So, maybe Home Alone would all be fun and games until THIS happens!

@@Luca-rc5vc Ur the 1 to shut up,who the hell tells someone to shut tup for no legitimate reason

Judging by where the heavy pipe landed, they would definitely have a broken nose and the second time it lands, it might result in crushed ribs
Except that if it was half as heavy as it was supposed to be, Kevin wouldn't be tossing it that easily.
Or maybe a bruised eye
The exploding toilet in Home Alone 2 has got to be my favourite. A couple of honourable mentions: the large bag of tools over the back door and the staple gun (need I say more?) in Home Alone 2.
Home alone 1 and 2 are such good Christmas movies
The very best!
I still remember the day when my family and I went to watch Home Alone 2, my uncles and I, and the entire theater bussed out in laughter at the sight of the Skeleton Electrocution.
Great memories😂🥰
Marv turning into a skeleton always made me laugh out loud. It was always the funniest part of the 2 movies.
Yea that was best part 😆
I probably would’ve taken my chances with the falling items (paint cans, the hot iron, the bricks, etc). I would definitely had dodged them before the death inflicting impact.
Yea same I look every were I walk
When Doctor Mike reviewed a compilation video of the traps, I think he mentioned, "incompatible with life" several times.
@5:34, I wonder about the dust from the cement. I don't think that it's safe to breathe in that stuff. @8:56, this reminded me of the cartoon. Tom Cat looked at his tail two times and then panicked in one episode. @10:15, I now have an idea of how you can execute a prisoner by stoning (throwing rocks) in the Old Testament.
Oh he wouldn’t be breathing anything in after the bag hit him
I get that the first two movies are classics (my family watches them every year) but seriously the third had seriously deadly traps.
Before the lawnmower, Burton was electrocuted, thrown into a wall (twice). Mr Unger was also electrocuted, then he and dupree had a trunk full of books dropped on them, followed by a loaded gym weight.
Alice had a packed flower pot to the head (twice), the first time she fell face first into mud while unconscious from the pot.
Unger and Burton jump from the attic into the pool. So that height plus freezing cold water while in a snow storm, yeah, definitely dead. Then Alice follows in their unlucky steps by falling butt-first down the dumbwaiter shaft.
Dupreee got off easier than the others, until the end. Not sure if he'd survive a snowfort lined with fireworks. At least seriously scarred.
I'm glad it's finally acknowledged that these traps can kill you in real life! As I grew up watching these movies, the more I came to realize the reality in these traps.

I am 20 years old and this Home Alone 1 and 2 will never get old for me.
It's incredible how Harry and Marv survived every one of Kevin's traps that literally would've killed them instantly in real life lol 😂
3:31 they actually brought a reality check to this in the film "better watch out"
Just listening to Marv whimpering as Kevin aims the last brick always puts a smile on my face. Almost as good as that no doubt genuine scream in the first movie when a live tarantula is put on his face.
5:00. And Marv just stands there and lets himself get hit with the bag of cement.
PLASTER
and the first clip he just stands there letting fire burn him
Just like in the first film.
When I was a small child, Kevin messing with the burglars with his traps was a horror film but now I see it's comedy. Also Macauley Culkin has compared Kevin to Henry Evans saying he is the dark side of him but because Kevin was empathy and love, he directs his cruelty towards those who does harm for others while Henry has no love and passion so he targets his own family and those close to him.
Despite all those crazy traps, they eventually managed to corner Kevin and then someone deals a final blow to them. First case, that neighbor, Marley, he at first feared because of rumors, then a partly creepy but gentle pigeon lady. Yeah, in reality, they wouldn't have been able to do such a thing from all those insane traps, they would certainly be dead.
It's rather hilarious that a falling iron couldn't knock out Marv, but a snow shovel to the back of the head KO's him instantly.
Could have been aggregate damage, I suppose, lol.
1:33 Judging by the sound of the voices, I think it landed on their chests.

The pipe much not have been overly heavy because Kevin was able to lift it up.
Everyone has slipped on ice and most of them have survived
The electric sink is a very good one to actually kill anyone.
Paint can to the face will definitely cause some bruises, a broken nose, and even lost teeth, it is also clear those weren’t full because of the paint on the side.
The cement bag is another one that can kill someone.
The kerosene rope will just lead to burns which is survivable.
The lawnmower would have mulched the guys head plain and simple.
The iron to the face would definitely lead to some brain damage but I don’t think it would lead to death.
The toilet would definitely kill anyone. An enclosed area with an explosion would have killed a person for sure.
Falling bricks can be dangerous but not necessary enough to kill a person.
Depending on the height anything can kill you. So yes falling bricks can absolutely lead to death. You’d be surprised the things that could potentially lead to death
Falling bricks at that height and speed, speed being the key word, would for sure kill someone and he took THREE of them.
The kerosene rope didn’t kill them but falling 3 stories probably would have
@@trellz17 I don’t know if this is true but I’ve heard that dropping a penny from the top of the Empire State Building could kill someone
@@ErikDayne Think of a ⚾️, if I gently drop it on your head, it might only sting for a second. If I throw it as hard as I can it might seriously hurt you and do some damage but you'll live. If I take the same ⚾️ and put it in a slingshot and stretch it back 50 feet and let go, it's gonna destroy your face. It's not the size of the object but the speed. 100 pds of feathers falling on you from the top of a building is the same as 100 pds of bricks. 100 pounds is 100 pounds. If a penny could gather enough speed then yes it could kill you.
The funniest trap didn't hurt Marv at all. When Kevin puts the tarantula on Marv's face, I literally came close to dying.
Especially how Stern screams. Makes it so much funnier. Same in NYC with the pigeons.
Saw a RUclips video of Doctor Mike reviewing the Home Alone traps and he kept shaking his head saying: Yeah, you're dead. Over and over again. He was hilarious but at the same time brutally honest about real life survival chances. One of the funniest was Harry setting his head on fire the way he just stood there he groaned and yelled "MOVE!"
That one where they're climbing hand-over-hand to Kevin's treehouse and he cuts the rope, sending them swinging into a brick wall like a suburban George of the Jungle? That merited an honorable mention, in my opinion.
Man... When Harry slips on the stairs and falls back, I always feel that one in my bones. Maybe it's just the sound, but I think that was the one trap in the first one I honestly felt and actually sorta felt bad for Harry and Marv.
And as someone who nearly broke his leg slipping on frozen stairs back when I worked in a ski resort, yes, I can attest that falling on ice is a great way to get major injuries. I got lucky I didn't actually break my leg the way I landed. Honestly, I feel like my kneecap should have shattered the way I landed, along with other things.
"Hey! You didn't lose any teeth!" Had me rolling.
One theory that can be found here on RUclips (and maybe other sites) is that Harry and Marv were seen as Kevin's guardian angels sent to teach Kevin the importance of family no matter how difficult they are. That's how they could withstand so much punishment. That of course won't explain how the crooks in 3, 5 and 6 (well...) could handle it..
I’d really like to see a rated r version of home alone where about 75% of the traps would be lethal. And rather than one kid against two idiot criminals, it would be a highly trained professional against a group of professional criminals/mercenaries. If this was the case who you’ll you pick to play the main character? My top choices would probably be some of the top action actors like Keanu Reeves, Liam Neeson, Jason Statham, Samuel L Jackson, etc.
You can’t be a professional criminal.
7:45 there is alot of misconception about the iron to the face. It wasn't plugged in and it just smashed him in the face causing a inpact mark for the humor side. It is not a burn
The electric sink electrocution is definitely #1. It's the most deadly trap in the Home Alone franchise by far. #2 is either Harry getting his head blown up in the toilet or Marv getting bricks smashed to his face. The Home Alone 2 traps are far more deadly than the first movie
Surely being blown to pieces in the toilet is more deadly?

The older I got, the funnier it gets to me!🤣(that doesn't make me a sadist, right?)It's so simple it can hardly even be called a trap but, that's death. The first one, alone; a direct hit to the head? Marv is dead or needs to go to the ER immediately.
actually, Alice falling down the dumbwaiter was the deadliest trap in franchise. me too couldn't believe it, but it's true.
If she didn't die she'd probably spend the rest of her life in a wheelchair.
Missed Harry falling on that old classic car running out of the toy store in the 2nd film.
That would have been death for sure.
Omg, watching this says to me that Kevin is a psychopath like when he enjoyed seeing that guy screaming in pain in 2:55 XD
4:40 love how he says Harry. I think the micro machines would hurt more then slipping on ice.
Not to mention other injuries Harry could’ve sustained from falling down the stairs, such as ankle, knee, elbow, and arm injuries are certainly possible.
The paint buckets from the first two are pretty much my favorite, but how they got higher than the pipe is beyond me.
Possibly because the paint cans are more memorable.
bc they came first
I know these traps would kill you, but given the 24-31-year gap between the 1st 3 “Home Alone” movies since 1990, I’m still watching them & laughing at how Marv, Harry, & the other 4 villains from “Home Alone 3” get hurt because of the traps set by Kevin & Alex. It’s funny how Kevin gets more savage with his traps in “Home Alone 2: Lost In New York”. The bricks to Marv’s face & the exploding toilet to Harry’s head were no exception. There should’ve been at least 4 or 5 honorable mentions since there’s so many traps. Please make another list regarding this topic, WatchMojo, & include 4 or 5 honorable mentions again. I wanna hear more about these traps, WatchMojo.
no
I learned some dark secrets from WMJ, I watch Home Alone again.
The arc welder on the sink is also insanely dangerous, the model used in the movie is the Lincoln electric AC-225 arc welder. Plugs into a 50 amp 240 V outlet and can produce up to 225 A of current on the output side, average house in the US is between 150 and 200 A capacity for the entire place.
8:00 Say hello to *Iron Head*
I love this look back on this franchise, it was hilarious what Kevin does to the men who intend to hurt him. You're right, though, any of this in reality would spell instant death! LOL
if i had to choose one of the options mentioned that happened in this video id go with the slipping on ice ...the closest i ever done to that was fall down 3 steps and while walking on the street so not as bad as the two situations they went through in this movie but still have a good idea of how much it must have hert and figure would be less painful then the other options
Bricks falling 10:12 skull fractures with epidural hematoma Marv is dead 💀💀💀💀
Funny thing is that aside from the mower and the cement - most of these the line between fatal and not is really down to specifics and all. It's been a while - but given the paint on the cans they likely aren't full - and where they hit while their should be blood from broken noses and teeth - is survivable, same with the pipe. The explosion when you look is more flash than bang - which it's the shockwave that does the damage. If you look before and after there's no real damage, just scorching, in all likelihood he's extra crispy, but alive. People have survived falls from way higher than 3 stories (and the scaffold gives immediately enough that it likely slowed him down) and electrocution, there's a lot of science that goes in to what forms will just jolt you and what will kill you. The bricks and iron are more likely to cause potential fatal damage - but again, there is a certain amount of chance to it all and comes down to as well to absolute specifics - and possibly a hard head.
That said while they may be a tad more survivable than you guys make out - ones like the sink are no less Jigsaw like, and any one of them should have for the most part incapacitated Harry and Marv for Kevin to summon the cops, and if not - likely driven them off unless they are masochists and thirsty for more.
I’m pretty sure the electrocution would have killed Marv. I mean we see Kevin upping the voltage. So much so that Marv turns into a skeleton for a second. Good thing he is immortal, because that would have definitely killed him.
@@madelinestraumanis219 It's not simply the voltage that kills though - it's the current. If it's not just right, and doesn't pass through a vital organ like the heart, people have survived 40,000 volts of electricity. As well as a matter of time - only 10 seconds, which is less time, and in this case also way less voltage not applied directly to things like the brain, then Electric Chairs used to use to execute someone. Even the fact his hands appear to be dry and is still wearing gloves lowering the contact point is a factor in how well the electricity enters his body. The 'seeing the skeleton' is just pure comedic/shock effect depending on the person.
Marv is definitely in pain, possibly burned, and in all likelihood soiled himself - but a pretty fair chance that comedic skeleton showing aside he's alive.
The pipe also probably wasn't all that heavy, given how easily Kevin lifted and threw it. Not sure what the real thing would weigh, but I'm pretty sure the prop was less than 5 lbs.
@@anthony7697 Its not the voltage that kills you, its actually the amps.
What if I told you, I could run 20,000 volts through you, and you'll live?
Meanwhile, I hook your brother up to a car battery, and he'll die?
The higher the voltage, the less the amperage. The lower the voltage, the MORE the amperage.
Since amperage (if memory serves me correctly) is resistance.
Our own bodies have electricity (though comparatively small) and we act as our own natural conductors of it.
So what does this have to do with Marv?
Most likely scenario will be that without a doubt would've shit and pissed himself. Shaking uncontrollably but his hands would've been scorched. To which Kevin upping the volts lead credentials to the fan theory of Kevin growing up to be Saw!!!
It wouldn't of killed Marv per se, it would've fucked him up pretty good though.
you are one funny clown Anthony 🤡🤡🤡🤡
Till one week ago, I didn't even know there are more than 2 movies. In Germany the movies are called "Kevin alone at home" and "Kevin alone in New York". So I get why it's hard to get the third one without Kevin.
But I'm also glad the other movies didn't polarize that much in Germany due to the lack of quality after loosing Kevin
"Poor Marv gets not 1. Not 2. Not 3. But 4 bricks directly to the face!"
That line alone is enough to make me laugh!
In real life the bricks were red foam
