When someone is throwing bricks at you from several stories up, I'd wanna take out the asshole who is trying to kill me too. True. My and my fiancée watched it today and was saying that Kevin could have just hidden in his uncles house and they'd have just ran by it. Yeah he wanted to catch them but he had the photos and they were already wanted men before that....He wanted to draw them into the house so that he could punish them because he's a sick child with violent tendencies Love the first two films but I love reading way too much into them also ha Well they did try to murder him beforehand. And were going to rob a toy store of charity money going to a kids' hospital. Harry and Marv were scumbags.

Of course Kevin has a strong righteous streak, as many kids do, but Harry and Marv probably intended to kill him in the first film, if not when they started, when he set the traps, since odds are they did not hang him on the hook to give him a noogie.
In the second, they outright pulled out a gun and aimed it at him, and would have never run afoul of him if they had not sought out revenge against him.

My question is...why didn't the bandits just leave with the money? Who gives a shit if Kevin took their picture because they were already fugitives. Then I remember that they're stupid and that explains that.

Yeah, Uncle Frank was the worst. Sure Harry and Marv were scumbags, but they were sort of lovable in a way. They were always my favorites in those first two movies.

Hey cut Frank some slack, if you had to raise a child with a very weak bladder you'd be a bit of a curmudgeon too. Something I never thought of: Was that kid's bladder problems due to being raised by a psycho like Uncle Frank?

Still, my favorite character in the entire series was Johnny the mob boss in those B&W movies Kevin always used to scare people.

Watched Lost in NY last night, and I swear seeing Harry and Marv get their asses kicked will never not be funny.
I'll give them credit, too - they can take an ass whupping with the best of them and keep on ticking.

And were going to rob a toy store of charity money going to a kids' hospital. Harry and Marv were scumbags. He could have called the cops and said hey, I'm a missing child and I will be at Duncan's toy chest at 5 minutes past midnight if you could come and collect me and boom they walk in on the sticky bandits Harry and Marv were scumbags but Kevin has to be better than them, instead he wanted them all to himself because that's how he gets his jollies. Hundreds of ways he could have resolved the situation without violence Personally I'd love to see a proper home alone 3 where Kevin warped by his Christmas traumas has turned into a burglar himself and a kid has to protect the house from him

Was there anyone who in Kevin's family who wasn't a total c*** to him??? I think the worst was Buzz. He would start the fight with Kevin and yet they would get mad at Kevin. The worst was when Kevin had the solo and Buzz had to a dick and ruin it in front of the school. And they're mad that Kevin pushed him off. Buzz seemed like a kid that would grow up and rob gas stations. Hell Google what the actor looks like now and tell me I'm wrong.

I don't recall Uncle Frank wiping out Younglings or standing by as the entire planet of Alderaan is destroyed.

I had forgotten, but a pretty telling quote was when Marv brings up their plan to rob Duncan's Toy Chest. When Harry tells him to shut up about it, Marv jokes that "he's not going to tell anybody. Except maybe the fish. Or the undertaker." Even before Kevin had the evidence of their crime for the second movie, outside of just knowing that they had escaped prison, they noticed him first and strong-armed him into coming with them with the pistol, and had every intention of murdering him in cold blood.
Had they just robbed the place without telling him, they'd have got away with it. Well, outside of that realistically, they were probably captured in a f***ton of security footage and would not have been a ton worse off than being on a polaroid taken by Kevin, but if we were being realistic, they also probably would have put the charity money into a safe or something, so we're being silly to fret about this so much.

Marv and Harry are totally jerks, but they're jerks solely around robbing houses. They seem like reasonably nice guys the rest of the time. Like, they almost hit Kevin with the van and give him a lecture about how dangerous it is not to pay attention to vehicles on the road. That's probably the most amusing thing about the first one. Marv is shown to be relatively shrewd and of questionable moral fiber, sure, but he still does have some moral compass clearly going on. Enough that he doesn't want to hit a kid with his van. Harry is something of an idiot man child that follows Marv, but he's not outright evil either. It isn't until the second one, which I tend to ignore, that the two dive more into the depths of pure villain. Well, there was a novelization on that second film that began with a ficticious account of what would've happened after the first film that might've spurned their more malicious fibers. {Spoiler}Harry and Marv escape the squad car and head back to Kevin's house for revenge. Kevin, seeing them arriving, has to make do with trapping the garage, and in essence winds up intentionally killing both of them.
Of course, it was Marv's nightmare in prison.
