Violence & Gore

  • Kevin watches a movie in which a woman is shot to death by a man who laughs maniacally as he does so.

  • A man gets shot with a nail gun after opening a knob. The nails land on the man's torso and nose.
  • A man falls from the first floor to the basement and lands with a thud. The man cracks his neck done for slapstick.
  • A man walks on slippery slime and that makes his fall and slide to a shelf of paint and that lands on him covering him with paint.
  • A man is electrocuted with a sink and his skeleton is seen and Kevin is sadistic enough to turn up the voltage as it progresses.
  • Two man trip on beads from a necklace while chasing a kid. A kid uses his fingers to scrape the beads off a necklace so when they chase after him, they trip.
  • Two men opens a knob which slides from the stairs onto the door and that slides both of them to a wall breaking both their noses.
  • A man gets his head caught on fire with a lighter and he panics doing a handstand on a toilet with kerosine. The building explodes.

  • A man tries hopping on a ladder with slime and falls. A blob of slime lands on his head.

  • After Kevin breaks the ropes supporting the paint cans with Marv, Harry and Marv almost avoid paint cans swinging on the stairs, but Harry gets hit by a piece of sewer pipe and is thrown to a basement where he gets hit by the pipe once again.
  • At the Christmas pageant Buzz starts a fight and Kevin punches him and the show breaks up and a woman gets knocked back in the piano chair. This is meant for laughs.
  • Kevin watches a movie in the hotel that includes a scene with machine gun fire.
  • Like the first Home Alone there is slapstick violence but it's a little more harsh in this one. For example throwing bricks at people from the top of a building is extremely dangerous and could kill someone in real life.
  • Harry, a criminal, lands on a car, causing a window to shatter and a roof to collapse, triggered by a seesaw triggered by Marv.
  • Both bad guys get bricks thrown at them from the top of a 3 story building but Marv ends up being the only one to get hit.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • Some may be disturbed by the level of violence used by a child towards the two bandits, despite most of them being played for laughs. Including a scene with brick throwing which is intended as comedic but in real life would result in serious injury or death.
  • The two antagonists seem genuinely prepared to kill Kevin. The leader tries to shoot a woman who is trying to save Kevin and only fails to do so because of Kevin's sabotage.
  • Much more violent than the first one.
  • Marv was repeatedly injured, beaten up, electrocuted, crushed, and being attacked by birds, but he still manages to survive.
