I dislike both Home Alone movies. Two more than the first, obviously. However, I never took issue with Kevin trying to murder the bandits in home alone 2. Because obviously they're trying to kill him.
How they don't die though, is another matter altogether.
There's a scene in Phantasm 3 where some bad guys break into a kids house that's set up with traps. He offs them all in less than two minutes. That's what really would have happened.
They'd have been dead before they even set foot in his Uncle's house, what with the bricks.
There's a version of Home Alone 2 in a parallel universe that doesn't have the bandits in and that just focusses on Kevin and Tim Curry's character, that would have been a far better movie.
There's also another version in another parallel universe where there's way more than two bandits, and we see all of Kevin's traps have their real world, grizzly effects. That too would have been a better movie.

I think in Battle Royale given enough time on the run initially he would just fucking obliterate anyone if he found a decent spot to chill
"And what happens with that is you kinda burn from the inside out, so he may not see-...well...and he turned into a skeleton."

Seems like a great film to over analyze.

Same in HA2. Bird Lady saved the day by throwing seeds at the Sticky Bandits.

Who would've guessed that the thing that defined them would be their downfall...
...well, again, I guess.

Seriously though, is there even a game that is 100% designed around your character laying traps as his one and only way of defense?
A Home Alone game like this would be awesome. Especially with current technology that would allow a photorealistic and detailed house interior.
Kinda. Holy Invasion of Privacy, Badman! What Did I Do To Deserve This? And Deception series work around traps.

lmao, kevin's family died and he changed his name to Bruce Wayne. Batman's past has been exposed.

This would have been better than Predator 3.
A grown up Macaulay Culkin defending a base from 2 predators like that other poster was kinda suggesting. You could have cameos with Danny Glover and Arnold.
Fuck, man. He's still alive so it could still happen but I fear it never will.

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
The stuff Kevin does to the Bandits in the movie is supposed to be comedic violence. A brick in the head from a second story would fucking kill you, but it doesn't because its supposed to be slapstick and not a legitimate portrayal of what would happen if you got hit with a brick.
The only time anyone is really supposed to be at serious risk is when the Bandits attempt to murder Kevin in the park. Hence, Kevin is the good guy.

This can't be the first time someone has used this for that 'meme'.
It is hilarious tho. If you are the origin congrats because it will spread.
Edit: it'd be even funnier if it was just nutted until he turns to a skeleton and then says but she still suckin.
That one and this one.....
For some reason this made me think of Final Destination 2 when they reveal how the main guy in the first film died. Talk about anticlimactic. All his friends die in crazy ways, and he goes down from a brick to the head.

Actually there was a zombie game where you just laid traps as a defense. Sure you had a melee weapon but traps were your bread and butter. It had a 50s rockabilly theme to it and the plot involved rock music creating zombies. It was okay. I forgot what the name was though. Sorry.
Edit: Oh! It's called Dead Block! It's for 360, PS3 and Steam I think.

Does Kevin skip leg day
Kevin saying this would've made a billion
Omg OH no
There are 17 Land Before Time movies and those fucking dinosaurs still haven't grown up.
How could they, if time does not exist?

There are five in the series:
Even more surprising is that Home Alone 5 came out in 2012.
Didn't the characters from Final Destination 2 fall into a machine in a lumber mill between movies? Why would you EVER go near a lumber mill after that? Did they think death just gave up?
Edit: Ah, it was a woodchipper. Still, they should've followed Clear's example and stayed in a padded cell until they were ready to die.
There are five in the series:
And the fifth one shows Malcolm McDowell has a huge problem when it comes to accepting movies.

POTUS also wanted to buy the house in the final episode of fresh prince of bel air

Yep. They run into him and catch him and insist they're going to pay him back but he manages to escape. Him foiling their plan was because they were going to rob the toy store's earning that were going to go to charity. Kevin decides to foil their plan not out of revenge but because he doesn't want them to steal from kids who need the charity. Also when Harry and Marv attempted to kidnap and possibly murder Kevin earlier in the film all bets are off.
The whole thing with Tim curry's character is that he had this weird petty grudge against Kevin that isn't really explained. Does he hate kids or something? He sure goes out of his way to prove that Kevin is committing credit card fraud. He even sneaks into his hotel room during the night. It always struck me as odd.

whoops double post.
oh my god it's a slapstick kids film get a grip
Well, I mean, there's no reason to leave out the first movie. In both movies he finds out what time Harry and Marv will commit their crimes and he could have just called the cops and let that be that. Ultimately in both movies his traps serve no real purpose, he calls the cops after toying with Harry and Marv for a while, some other character shows up and knocks out Harry and Marv after they catch him, and the police arrive to arrest them after being called much later than they should have been. But that would have made a boring movie and Home Alone is entertaining and fun.

I'll give credit where its due I think in the third one they address that by having the non kevin kid call the cops multiple times as he notices his neighbors are being robbed until they don't believe him. Still a bad movie. i havent seen 4 but the idea of bringing back the "marv" and kevin characters and having them be completely different was terrible. As mediocre as the first two may seem they're not nearly as bad as its sequels.

that's cause fuck roman reigns
When they eventually reboot Home Alone they should make it in the style of 21 Jump Street and just go balls to the walls with the story and do this.

The funniest part of this scene is actually the initial surprised "UUUAAH" noise Marv makes when he gets hit by the first brick.
SUCK BRICK, KID!

The whole movie is just a commercial for Trump Tower. It's The Wizard all over again.
