Home Alone

Harry Lyme

• Shot in the groin by a BB gun (before Marv).
• Slips and falls twice on the ice-covered steps approaching the front door.

  

• Right hand is severely burned when he places it on the searing-hot doorknob (which comes from an electric BBQ starter on the other side). Although he puts it out with snow near the steps, it does inflict a painful permanent scar in the shape of an M which was seen in the sequel.
• Has his head burned by a blowtorch when he opens the back door, and again, he puts it out with snow, melting his hat.
• Walks into plastic wrap covered with caulking glue and blasted with feathers blowing from a fan, causing him to look like a chicken.
• Slips on Kevin's Micro Machines (toy vehicles) at the foot of the stairs (with Marv).

• Crushed by tool chest that falls down the stairs (with Marv).
• Falls three stories when Kevin sets the rope on fire that he was climbing down on (it was soaked in kerosene) and gets covered from head to toe in varnish (with Marv).
