How many of the traps fallen into do you think would have killed or maimed the terrorists. The one where Alice falls down the Dumb Waiter probably would have broken a few bones at the least, and falling through several floors then landing on toilet probably wouldn't have been good for you.
shareThis movie is even more brutal than Saw 3!
shareIt's not the point. If anyone got seriously injured or died that would take out all the fun.
The increase in human knowledge is the cause of the decline of religions.
I just watched this movie yesterday for the first time. The boobey traps Alex did on the 4 criminals would have killed them. Especially things that hit them on the head usually after 2 hard things to the head a person would be dead. The electrical shock the two guys got at the door that would most likely kill someone.
shareI've seen this board on Home Alone 2 and seen people write which traps would have killed them which would have been extreme pain, but not death. You can even watch a YouTube video which tells you the results of the burglars injuries in the first two films, but not this one. Obviously, these films are intended for slapstick purposes. But, here's the traps that probably would have killed them.
1. During the car chasing scene when Mr. Beaupre and Alice jump and hit each others foreheads.
2. Not as intense as the scene in Home Alone 2 which definitely would have killed Marv, but when Mr. Unger and Mr. Jernigan get electrocuted. That possibly would have killed them.
3. When Beaupre and Unger get hit by a chest of books and then weights on the head. One of those would most likely kill them.
4. The scene where Jernigan has a lawnmower fall on his head.
5. Alice falling down the dumbwaiter shaft. I feel like she was stupid for trying to go down it in the first place. She's already seen all the other traps, how could she not expect anything. She should have looked to notice the bottom of the dumbwaiter wasn't there. Who goes down a dumbwaiter anyway?
6. Depends on how long, but Unger and Jernigan being a freezing pool. They would have had some time where they could survive. We don't know how long they were in there, but that would be a deadly trap.
7. Beaupre getting blown up in an igloo at the end.
These are the traps I think would have most likely killed them. The others would have been extreme pain, but not death. It's interesting how they never seem very badly harmed, only for comic purposes. Obviously, the intention for this movie.
Depending on the temperature of the water (and other things like body mass), they should have died quick; or at the very least be in a severe state of shock when they were found.
To quote Scientific America:
"When you first go into extremely cold water there is this weird response called a cold shock response. People start to hyperventilate immediately. For one to three minutes you breathe very fast and deep, uncontrollably. If you go underwater, you could swallow water and die. …I can't tell you how often this occurs but it's certainly a very real phenomenon. Once that response goes away, you're fine…for awhile.
Generally, a person can survive in 41-degree F (5-degree C) water for 10, 15 or 20 minutes before the muscles get weak, you lose coordination and strength, which happens because the blood moves away from the extremities and toward the center, or core, of the body."
"Heat is lost much more quickly in water than in air. Thus, water temperatures that would be quite reasonable as outdoor air temperatures can lead to hypothermia in survivors, although this is not usually the direct clinical cause of death for those who are not rescued. A water temperature of 10 °C (50 °F) can lead to death in as little as one hour, and water temperatures near freezing can cause death in as little as 15 minutes. A notable example of this occurred during the sinking of the Titanic, when most people who entered the −2 °C (28 °F) water died within 15–30 minutes.
The actual cause of death in cold water is usually the bodily reactions to heat loss and to freezing water, rather than hypothermia (loss of core temperature) itself. For example, plunged into freezing seas, around 20% of victims die within 2 minutes from cold shock, (uncontrolled rapid breathing, and gasping, causing water inhalation, massive increase in blood pressure and cardiac strain leading to cardiac arrest, and panic); another 50% die within 15–30 minutes from cold incapacitation (inability to use or control limbs and hands for swimming or gripping, as the body "protectively" shuts down the peripheral muscles of the limbs to protect its core), and exhaustion and unconsciousness cause drowning, claiming the rest within a similar time."
Most of the traps would have seriously injured them or killed them I would Say Marv and Harry got it worse though,Harry is in the face with a crowbar in the first movie and him in Marv are both in the face with a Shvoel. In the Sequel Harry lands on a car and dumps his head in a toilet full of gasoline and it explodes and Harry is hit in the head with 3 or 4 bricks and is electrocuted and both get their faces smashed with a toolbox. But like I mentioned the movies would not be as funny or liked if the characters were seriously injured and died(Well at Least the first two films)
I'm gonna show you something beautiful everyone screaming for mercy
Neither of them should have survived those traps some of them would have died instantly in real life and one of them would have died of their injuries.
