Keaton is a genius both physically and the way he used the camera. His “falling house” from Steamboat Bill Jr. (at 0:15 of Larry’s compilation) was NOT faked….a “real” housefront, precisely measured, one take….if anything had gone wrong, Buster would have been killed…..most of the cuts from 0:42 to about 1:02 (Larry’s post) are not Keaton or Lloyd……I’ve seen most of Keaton’s work multiple times and the one from Cops at 1:40 still puzzles and astonishes me…..how did he manage to grab the rail on a moving car with one hand (even if he had a dowell grip!), get jerked completely sideways and not a. fall or b. dislocate his shoulder is beyond me
Buster Keaton and Harold Lloyd were two of the best stuntman who ever lived. Here is a compilation.
