It's an iconic moment. In the 1992 film "Home Alone 2," a children's classic despite its often downright violent antics, a thief called Harry, played by Joe Pesci, has escaped from prison with his associate Marv (Daniel Stern) and is determined to get revenge on the kid who sent the two to the slammer, our intrepid Kevin (Macaulay Culkin). Holed up in his uncle's empty, gutted townhouse, Kevin sets traps for the men.
In the most memorable one of the film, a sequel to the 1990 blockbuster "Home Alone," Harry pulls a light switch only to trigger a booby trap which ignites his winter hat on fire.
