In the first Home Alone movie which burglar got the worst of the booby traps?


I personally thought Harry got the worst of the booby traps in the first Home Alone movie.

reply

Really tough choice. They both got thrashed pretty hard.

I'll go with Harry because of the burns on top of his head, but the nail in the foot Marv took always makes me shudder.

reply

Plus Harry's hand was burned really bad from touching the hot doorknob.

reply

Plis Marv slammed him in the sternum with a crowbar

reply

Even though most of the violence in this movie in done in a cartoonish sort of way, Harry had the only injury that even the movie acknowledged would leave a horrible scar. The M being burned into his hand.

reply

Definitely Harry and all those burns. The head torch looked lethal af

reply

Harry also got beaten with a crowbar.

reply

Definitely Harry. As already said by others, the burned hand on the door knob and the blowtorch to the head would be really painful. Though Marv getting his face burned with an Iron might be equally as painful.

reply

Was the iron turned on when it fell on Marv?

reply

Yes. You can see a burn on his face after it happens.

reply

Look up the YouTube videos of Doctors analyzing the injuries in Home Alone. Neither Harry or Marv would have survived either movie.

reply

9 Harry's and 14 Marv's are required to complete Home Alone 1 and 2.

reply

I would say Harry because his BB shot was to the nuts (which is worse than the forehead) and he got his hand and his head burned. The worst Marv got was the nail through the foot.

Having said that Marv had it much much worse in the sequel.

reply

I always thought the iron was the worst punishment Marv received in the first Home Alone movie, I know his face got all burnt, I always wondered if Harry got shot in the nuts or in the penis.

reply

Eh nuts, penis whatever, it’s gonna suck either way.

reply

I think it must have been the nuts because Harry tells Kevin in NY that he’s going to shoot him in the cojones as payback.

reply

Harry with all the burns and he would likely have a broken back from slipping on the ice.
