The Home Alone franchise is best known for its wild and often obscene booby traps, which are designed to keep robbers and all other unwanted guests out of the house. Home Sweet Home Alone, the latest installment of the franchise, is no different.
Not to be outdone by the films of the past, this reboot/sequel boasts plenty of the hilariously sadistic traps that the franchise is famous for, including some that are just too good not to get the recognition that they deserve.
10 Pool Ball Cannon
Max Mercer (Archie Yates) let the two robbers know exactly what game they were playing right off the bat. After a few relatively harmless traps to keep the two crooks busy, Max began firing pool balls out of a T-Shirt cannon, landing several painful hits on Jeff McKenzie (Rob Delaney).
This trick may be simple, and indeed more of a physical assault than a defensive trap, but it does prove fairly effective in keeping the intruders at bay long enough for the next section of defensive maneuvers. It even leaves a noticeable mark right in the middle of Jeff’s forehead for the rest of the film.
9 Soda Explosion
Sometimes, the simplest tricks are the ones that are the most effective. One of Max’s earliest tricks employed against Pam McKenzie (Ellie Kemper) is the classic mentos in soda phenomenon dialed to the extreme, as Max throws bottle after bottle, each exploding as it hits the ground.
This trick, while helpful in setting the tone for the way the rest of the night would go for the two hapless robbers, also exposed Pam to the harsh conditions of winter, with the soda freezing on her in the chilly December air.
8 LEGO Minefield
Some may say that one of the worst pain in the world is to step on a LEGO. Max certainly took that into account when laying his traps, spreading hundred of pieces all across the living room floor, then employing a complex contraption to ensure that his quarry was forced to step on the jagged plastic pieces.
This gag harkens back to the classic trick from the first Home Alone film, where Kevin lays glass ornaments on the floor, causing Marv, one of the wet bandits, to step on them and cut his feet. For poor Pam McKenzie, it just meant a particularly unpleasant trip through the living room.
7 Slippery Driveway
Jeff and Pam McKenzie’s heist does not get off to a good start. Before they even enter the house, the pair was nearly bested as they struggled to climb the iced-over driveway. Max toys with the two as they struggle and slip against the dangerous ice, shining a blinding light in their faces as an added insult.
When the two would-be robbers fail to get up the driveway without incident, it became quite clear that Max was the one in control of the night’s events from that point on. With their confidence shattered almost immediately, Jeff and Pam really had no chance at beating the 10-year-old boy.
6 Treadmill Attack
Max’s treadmill attack is just one of the many Home Alone traps that feel straight out of a Saw movie. When Pam rushes into the room that Max is hiding in, she is not expecting to be met by a flying weight heading directly for her. Max takes advantage of his outrageously fast-moving treadmill, using it to launch projectiles at the intruder until she is knocked clear out of the room entirely.
This particular trap actually takes Pam out of commission for a short time, marking her husband’s turn to take yet another beating from the seemingly sadistic Max Mercer. However, it also does quite a bit of damage to the house, as one of Max’s projectiles misses and crashes through a door.
5 Thumbtack Darts
When intruders have broken in, it is time to defend the home in any way necessary. What better way to do that than with mounted NERF guns that fire darts tipped with sharp thumbtacks? This is exactly the trap that Pam walked into after thinking Max had retreated to the attic.
Even with all the many horrifying defense mechanisms he placed, this was likely one of the more painful traps that Max set in the film and one that stuck with Pam for the rest of her heist, as she continued to have darts sticking every which way out of her head and arms.
4 Icy Road
The very first of Max’s devices nearly gets Pam and Jeff killed, when the road which had been iced up earlier that night causes them to lose control of their car and crash into a light post. The Santa statue that slams into their windshield right after is merely icing on the cake.
This should have been the moment wherein the two robbers came to their senses and retreated, but much like the Wet Bandits from the original film, they pressed onward and learned the hard way not to mess with a child left home alone.
3 Trampoline Antics
Nearing the end of the night, Max has lured the duo to the top floor and had them watch as he leaped from the balcony and onto a trampoline. When Jeff attempts to follow him, he tricks him into thinking a trap has been laid on the perfectly safe ladder and causes him to leap onto the trampoline, which catapults him headfirst into a tree.
This marks an instance where Max did more than just surprise attack his victims, but actually outsmarted them. Not only that, but this particular trap left lasting damage, as Jeff soon discovered that a tooth had been knocked loose from his collision with the tree branch.
2 Making Cookies
The Home Alone films aren’t known for their intelligent robber characters, and the duo from this film fits that mold just the same. When they attempt to climb the stairs, they continually fall for Max’s food-themed pranks, slipping on butter-laden stairs and getting hit with sacks of flour and sugar.
Pam and Jeff can’t seem to fathom the idea of giving up, continuously climbing the stairs and falling directly into the next stage of Max’s traps. It is only moments before the sugar strikes Jeff that they realize Max is “turning them into cookies.”
1 The VR Nightmare
Perhaps the most inventive (and most modern) of Home Sweet Home Alone’s traps is the VR nightmare that Max sends Jeff into. After knocking him out with the pool ball cannon, Max straps a VR headset to Jeff’s face, causing him to think he’s been transported to the mountains upon waking up.
Watching Jeff scream and call out for help when he is standing in the middle of the foyer proves to be quite entertaining, both for Max and for the audience. While questions might arise as to how he didn’t feel the device wrapped around his head, there is no denying the cleverness of this particular prank.
