Points to Kevin for creative use of diversions, but this likely gave countless children spider nightmares and did little to help his cause.
Technically, the faux Christmas party and fireworks-as-fake-gunfire were Kevin’s first attacks against Harry and Marv, but those don’t count as traps because they happened before the bandits broke into Chez McCallister. (First lesson of Home Alone:Secure your doggie door.) And, as Dr. Nampiaparampil noted, “[Getting hit in the groin] wouldn’t kill ...
A brief interlude between better gags. Sadly, we can’t all be paint cans or flaming hot doorknobs (more on those later, of course)…
How does this help Kevin keep Harry and Marv from robbing his home and causing him bodily harm? It doesn’t. Is it funny? Absolutely.
After losing his shoes earlier in the house, you’d think Marv would have learned to watch his step. You’d think wrong. “It’s is like stepping on broken glass. It can be very painful and can make it difficult for you to stand or walk. These injuries are hard to treat because it’s so hard to remove the tiny shards,” said Dr. Nampiaparampil, adding, “...
Now’s when we move from the potentially painful stunts to things that really seem like they could injure people. Don’t try these at home (alone), guys.
Harry slips down the frozen front steps and Marv does the same down the ones to the basement – these are the instances that are most immediately dangerous, according to Dr. Nampiaparampil. “Of all the booby traps that were set, these are the ones where, let’s say you fell the wrong way and hit your head or your neck, these are the ones that will ac...
“With this one, it really depends on a person’s pain tolerance, but I feel like most of my patients that I see, if they got an injury like that, it’s not just a superficial burn,” said Dr. Nampiaparampil, noting the iron left an impression on his face where it hit him. “If it left such an imprint but you’re not all the way down to the muscle and th...
Even without the “M” for McCallister seared into Harry’s hand when he takes hold of that red-hot doorknob, this is definitely a night he won’t forget anytime soon (and he doesn’t — there isthat sequel…). “If you think about your hands, you have all these nerves, you have all the arteries, veins and everything else, and the tendons. So usually we lo...
We dare you to watch this one without cringing (and also wondering if your tetanus shot is up to date). “With stepping on a nail, your main risk is for infection. So, the things that we think about, let’s say you did this in your own house, you’d go get a tetanus shot. So that’s not something that would affect you immediately, but it’s something th...
