* GrievousBottleyHarm: One of the implements Max uses against Pam are plastic soda bottles with Mentos. The bottles either fizz in her face when opened or fly into her.

* CanonDiscontinuity: Possible. During his cameo, Buzz mentions that Kevin was only left home alone twice, possibly putting the widely-panned ''Film/HomeAlone4'' out of continuity. However, they didn’t go on vacation in the film and Kevin wasn’t accidentally forgotten in the film (being left “home alone” on purpose by being placed in the care of the maid and butler), when Buzz specifically mentions Kevin twice being forgotten when they went on vacation, so it can be left up for interpretation.

* SimpleSolutionWontWork: Max thinks aloud for a moment why he doesn't just calls the police to come deal with the thieves who are trying to break in: if the cops find out that he was abandoned by his parents (even if it was an accident), the cops [[SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome will surely arrest them for apparent child endangerment]] alongside the thieves (this is pretty notable because in the other films in the series, the cops finding out the kid is all alone is only met with angry stares to the parents at worst).
* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome:
** In the original films, whenever the police were made aware of Kate and Peter leaving Kevin behind, they never suffered any legal consequences for child endangerment. Here, Max immediately rules out calling the police for help against Jeff and Pam because he realizes doing so would alert the police to his parents leaving him home alone and they'd be arrested.
** Some of the injuries due to the traps are much more realistic instead of cartoonish like the original film. Poor Jeff finds himself on the wrong end of a billiard ball to the head, and the large weeping goose egg on his head turned off a lot a viewers.

* HollywoodHealing: Somehow, the McKenzies manage to make it through a night of burned feet and falling wieghts/chandeliers without having to visit a hospital and the only visible injury when they hand Max off to his mom is the goose egg on Jeff's noggin.

* TookALevelInJerkass: While Jeff and Pam never try to physically harm Max, they understandably grow considerably more hostile towards him after all the torture he puts them through with his booby traps. This of course makes it seem to him all the more like they're out to get him. Still, their level of "angry" is nowhere near that of previous home invaders and once they realize it was all a big misunderstanding they're rather [[EasilyForgiven quick]] to forgive Max.

* AntiVillain: Unlike past antagonists, Jeff and Pam aren't malicious; they're just desperate to pay off their mortgage, and they think Max stole the thing they were going to sell to do it. They've even become good friends of Max's family by the end.

* WhamLine: "I'm ten years old, why would I want a doll?". At which point Jeff and Pam [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone realize they've made a serious mistake]].

* AgonyOfTheFeet: Marv in the first film gets off ''easy'' compared to poor Pam here. Many of the traps and attacks that she encounters target her feet, from having them set on fire to being crushed by weights, and even stepping on Legos barefoot.

* AntiVillain: Unlike past antagonists, Jeff and Pam aren't malicious; they're just desperate to pay off their mortgage, and [[spoiler: they think]] Max stole the thing they were going to sell to do it. [[spoiler: They've even become good friends of Max's family by the end.]]
** If one considers Jeff and Pam the film's true protagonists, then likewise Max could be considered this. As harsh as his booby traps against them are, [[spoiler: he genuinely believes them to be HumanTraffickers who want to kidnap and sell him, so one can hardly blame him for pulling out all the stops to defend himself.]]
