My favorite silent film

[–]GhettoRussianSpy 0 points1 point ago

I'm also a fan of Safety Last with Harold Lloyd, but I can't decide which I prefer. They are both excellent silent films.

Dangerous stunt for the time, if I recall. Too fast and Keaton could have easily fallen off and been injured or killed, but I believe he insisted on doing it.

Yes, he actually broke his neck while filming a dangerous scene with a water station on the tracks (force of the water propelled him into the ground, but he wasn't paralyzed or killed). After a few days bed rest, he resumed filming before going to the hospital. Later in life it would come back to bite him in the ass, with arthritis and an addiction to pain killers.
