The Incredible Stunts of Buster Keaton

Did we share this with you already? You need to watch it!

#MovieMonday “Steamboat Bill Jr.,” 1928 was Buster Keaton’s final independent film.  It is arguably best known for the housefront stunt which has been much imitated, but never equalled.  The gag started with Roscoe Arbuckle & Buster kept running with it until it reached its climactic end.

This Day in Buster…April 30, 1928

“College,” with the title "Hyppyä, soutua, rakkautta,” meaning “Jump, Row, Love,” opens in Finland.

In 1920, Buster Keaton suffered a broken ankle filming a sequence with the moving staircase he built for The Electric House. Production was stopped while he recovered, and the movie was restarted from scratch in 1922. No footage from the original production is known to survive.

Sorry, but we’re going to do an ‘Actually…“

Actually it was not a broken ankle but very badly torn tendons/ligaments however the injury did require a cast & weeks of rest.
