In particular, Alice crosses this by leaving Mrs. Hess BoundAndGagged, and then leaving the door and window open and have her exposed to the cold air. By the time Alex saves her life by closing the doors and covering her with a blanket, she's semiconscious. Beaupre also crosses the line by threatening to shoot Alex, all while the kid is begging him to please allow him to get Mrs. Hess indoors to warm her up before she dies.

* {{Padding}}: ''Home Alone 3'' repeats the exact same sequence back-to-back in the first Act where Alex spots Beaupre snooping around a neighbor's house, calls the cops on him, but miss catching the spy. Alex being scolded for calling the cops on what they believe to be a false alarm could have easily been done after just the first attempt.

I hate to say, but not really. Most viewers still consider it bad. It also base only a 4.6 IMDB rating, which is VERY low.

The only real shortcomings are that it feels so alien after two films with the same main cast and there aren't as many creative traps.

** Beaupre mistakenly grabs a dart gun Alex spray-painted black instead of his real gun, which Alex hid under a towel in the basement. How Alex could possibly have predicted someone would not only find it, but turn the towel over onto their ''real'' gun to cover up their mistake, is fairly ridiculous. Same goes for the professional criminal [[RuleOfPerception being unable to tell the difference between a plastic toy with a suction cup sticking from the barrel and a heavy metallic firearm.]]
** There is no indication that the toy dart gun is not made of metal, and thus not similar in weight to the real gun. The plastic gun that was spray-painted black was only ever handled by Alex. Plus, Beaupre was not looking or paying attention when he reached for his gun, so if the weights were close, he thought it was his. There was no orange cap, and the dart was black.
