the 50lb bag of concrete that fell two stories onto Marv's head would have killed him instantly.


That bag would have been traveling at about 30mph by the time it reached Marv. a 50lb bag traveling at 30mph driving your head into the floor. That's 2156 Joules of energy at impact. To give a comparison of what that means, a 100mph fastball is 230 Joules of energy. The brick being thrown down from 3 stories up is going to be slightly more than the fastball, still potentially deadly, but no where near as that 50lb bag of concrete.

The scream was dubbed in, apparently tarantulas would freak out from the noise.

Poor Marv should have been dead about 10 times over in these two movies.

how has no one posted the toilet full of gasoline that Harry sticks his flaming head into?

The brick scene makes me consistently laugh more than any other Home Alone 1-whatever it's up to now scene. Even after seeing it hundreds of times.

It wasn't a trap per say, but if someone laid a tarantula on my face, my soul would leave my body

Same. I stepped on a nail in my youth. I feel it every time I see that scene.

Brick to the head, swinging paint can, or the pipe would have been permanent brain damage or death.

Cement bag would be death.

When they are climbing down the rope drenched in kerosene from 3 or 4 stories up and he lights the bastard up.

This is the type of shite we did in the Overanalyze thread. Good shite.
