Buster Keaton was doing some crazy stunts back in the 1920's.

The Falling House in 'Steamboat Bill, Jr.' (1928) - The wall weighed more than 4,000 pounds. As the story goes, the crew shielded their eyes as the stunt was performed & two women fainted.

The original is unmatched. It's great to see how it continues to influence our movie culture to this day.

🤯 Buster Keaton wasn't just funny, he was a cinematic genius! His deadpan humor and masterful physical comedy revolutionized film. Without him, we wouldn't have the slapstick icons we know & love today! 🙌 #BusterKeaton #SilentFilm #ComedyLegend

This Day in Buster... January 24, 1925 The Daily News reports that Buster Keaton was hurt during the filming of "Seven Chances" "when a "property" rock fell from a wall on a motion picture set he was using. Keaton's thigh was pinned to the ground by the make-believe boulder."

Buster Keaton showcasing his real stunts. Born in 1895, Keaton became one of the most influential actors and directors during the silent film era, known for his stone-faced expression and remarkable physical comedy. His historic stunts have left an indelible mark on the world of entertainment. One of Keaton's most iconic stunts can be seen in the film "Steamboat Bill, Jr." (1928), where he stands in front of a two-story house's façade that collapses, leaving an open window that miraculously fits perfectly around Keaton as he remains unharmed. This stunt exemplifies Keaton's precise timing, meticulous planning, and incredible physical agility. In the movie "The General" (1926), Keaton orchestrated a breathtaking locomotive chase sequence, which is considered one of the most elaborate and costly stunts of the silent film era. The scene involved a real steam locomotive crashing into a burning bridge. The daring stunt showcased Keaton's innovative approach to filmmaking and cemented his status as a true pioneer of cinema. Buster Keaton's ability to perform incredible stunts and physical comedy without the use of special effects or stunt doubles set him apart in an era when safety measures were far less advanced than today. His contributions to cinema continue to be celebrated for their creativity, ingenuity, and sheer audacity, making him an enduring and inspirational figure in the world of film and entertainment.
