Buster is the king of stunts, unless you also count Harold Lloyd. I have seen Harold do plenty of stunts as well.

And when he lit his cigarette with a perfectly spherical bomb ;)

The horse had $5 paper on it, so technically it had a price..

then the other guy gets the suit x) amazing stuff

$5 in 1922 would be $92.96 today.

🙏

I do

@@d.b.levitt I think he meant that there isn't anyone like him.

@@joshuabrophy4585 I think he meant that there isn't anyone like him.

what is slow motion? do you mean the 3 frames? loooool

I love very old films like that one too 👍

Charlie chaplin movies look fantastic in HD

If they could put musical scores along with the film, could they just have voices recorded and over layed to make it sound like the actors were talking, like in cartoons ?

@@changopardomuzik4953 No, there were NO "soundtracks" on films until much later in the '20s. The films were silent and live music -- a single piano player in smaller, local theaters, a trio of piano, fiddle, and drums in larger places, and chamber or even full orchestras, or gigantic organs in "movie palaces" like The Roxy or the Paramount in New York -- accompanied the film. That was the case for "live action" films or cartoons.

@@richardcanedo1614 oh wow that's pretty cool

It's in this version, before he gets goat gland treatment to pep up the horse

Still reasonable the Oscar now day

🎶 bad boys bad boys what you gonna do what you gonna do when they come for you 🎶

I think I know what you mean about the "darkest" part. Yes, it's one of Keaton's great shorts, but the scene where the cops are marching reminds the audience of a true bombing on the S.F. Police during The Preparedness Parade in 1916.

and he commits suicide in the end wtf

This was filmed during Keaton's friend Fatty Arbuckle's rape/murder trial. Some say the darkness of the movie was mirroring what was going on with Fatty.

That may have been the inspiration but apparently Harold Lloyd also lit his cigarette off a prop bomb he found on set that turned out to be real. He blew his fingers off and lost feeling in that hand along with his hearing for awhile.

Read that as 'dankest'

what for? there is a time for everything

I didn't either.

lol, comparing an idiot to a real actor? must be american!

I swear, I remember seeing this in Yosimite Sam's special or something.

285th rule of acquisition!

yeah - women behave the same. SHE wants, HE delivers ... because he is weak and has no self esteeme. top message! lol

Just search for “goat gland specialist”

When I was young one I though this xD

I know it was crazy and it was great no pc no sjw everybody was there self

What if there is an alternate universe where there is no sound and everything is in greyscale? I like to think that silent film characters were "born" (i.e. created) to inhabit such a place and thus don't have vocal chords (or eardrums either.)

Bill D. in Iowa he did in the first take, they had to wait for it to grow back before they could continue filming

LOL! I think he must have had his foot in a loop at the end of a rope that ran under his clothes and up his arm sleeve. It may have had a hook of some kind. Then all he would have to do is hook the bar on the car and keep his leg locked straight. But that makes too much sense. I prefer to think it was his magical sinewy strength. For a little guy, he sure was strong. He could have been an athlete.

They used CGI

@@kharris3352 pls tell me you're joking

@@arson1tez No I’m not. I legitimately believe they were using CGI a century ago

There was a famous doctor in the 1920s who claimed he could cure impotence with goat glands

One John R. Brinkley.

Yes, it was a quack medical procedure!

Yep, early erectile dysfunction quack doctor. Supposedly transplanted goat glands into men who were impotent. According to IMDB, there were several Hollywood actors who used these doctors. LOL

..............Wow!!

He died in 1966!
