Silent Comedy Series: Buster Keaton cont'd
In which we watch Buster break his neck and never notice
Buster Keaton broke his neck? Yes. And you get to watch him do it. He actually didn’t realize it at the time, and only found out years later. While performing a stunt 12 feet in the air with a 10 inch water spout and the force of a railroad water tank, he lost his grip due to the force of the water pressure and it dropped him in a hard fall to the ground. He landed on his back with his neck across the rail with the water pushing him down. He left the set with a headache but was back filming the next morning.
New editing technology, inventive gags, and fun extension ideas to keep the action rolling.
