As Buster Keaton said "railroads are a great prop. You can do some awful wild things with railroads." Here's a bunch of clips of trains destroying things, trains getting destroyed and just general crazy train stunts from silent movies.
Edit: I removed one of the songs due to a copyright claim

Impossible to show the finger to something that didn't exist at the time. That would be like watching a 1920's movie with a crank telephone and saying they were giving the finger to smart phones! Pure nonesense. They did what they did because a) there was no other way to do it and b) they didn't have safety regulations and insurance policies to contend with.

The bridge collapse at 1:39 (from Buster Keaton's "The General") was the most expensive single shot in silent film history. The locomotive was real, and the bridge was built specifically for the movie. It cost about $42,000 in 1926 dollars, which, adjusted for inflation, would be about $618,000 today.

@jackmorrison7379 2 жыл бұрын

The one trick they did have was altering frame per second during filming. In less technical terms the actual recording was done with the train moving slower than you see on playback. But as any railroader will tell you, hobos board stopped trains on sidings and yards or when going real slow.

@pianotm 3 жыл бұрын

Fun fact: These stunts aren't that crazy. In the scenes where actors appear to actually be in harms way, the train and the actor are both moving slowly because the camera is filming at low speed and will be returned to regular speed after. There is still an element of danger, but the actor is relatively safe. Objects that the trains hit are built to break away (those cars smash spectacularly, but they come apart a little TOO easily.).

No doubt these were stunning stunts. Some look as though they just 'did it'. But some of them were carefully constructed. Where you see a car running across the front of the locomotive, they actually tied a rope to the front of the car and to the back of the train via a series of pulleys and of course the train pulled the car across the front of it. Nonetheless, far more entertaining than CGI.

Wow... Those stunts were incredibly dangerous... No way anything like that would be done today without a dozen stunt-doubles, liberal use of green-screen and at least 85% CGI.

The Southern Pacific R.R. deserves a credit too. I saw a lot of Espee engines in this video.

They sure did. And the most skilled and immaginative of them all was Buster Keaton. He actually risked his life again and again and delighted everybody, while he himself remained cold as ice and never even smiled. So sad almost no one remembers him nowadays. At 57 I'm not so old, but fortunately I saw a good number of his movies in Portuguese TV, mostly in the eighties. For some reason Buster Keaton and Harold Loyd are far less know than Charlie Chaplin, which is truly a shame because their sense of humor was by far more exquisite and elaborate. And they weren't communists, unlike Chaplin. Maybe the latter knew the right acquaintances; or maybe I'm very wrong. 🤔

Verdade! Algo estranho q esses dois sejam praticamente desconhecidos aqui no Brasil, praticamente só vi poucas vezes os dois na tv cultura, quando vi apaixonei pelos filmes deles. É de bater palma em pé, mesmo prós dias de hoje!
