    3:07 Fun fact, Buster literally broke his neck doing this stunt. He didn't realize it but did complain about neck pain for a while after. It wasn't until he had an x ray years later that doctors told him he had once broken his neck. His neck muscles were so strong that they just held the bone in place until it healed.

      There is a very recent interview by Paul Petersen who did 275 episodes of the Donna Reed Show as a teenager. The Christmas episode of the first year, Buster Keaton played a hospital janitor who plays Santa. Paul describes the shoot. It was Shot at Stage 1 on the Columbia back lot with 20 sound stages. Word came around that Buster Keaton was going to be on the lot. Normally their entire production had 60 people. When word spread that Buster was going to be on the lot, all of the other sound stages shut down and more than 450 people came to stand behind the 4th wall and watch Buster Keaton do his thing. Donna Reed won an Oscar for "From Here to Eternity". She told Paul (who had previously worked with Sophia Loren and Cary Grant on "Houseboat"), he isn't just a celebrity, and not just a pioneer, Buster Keaton is a Giant! Thats what everyone in the industry thought.

    The water tower scene with the train was from the Sherlock Jr movie. Buster actually broke his neck when the tremendous amount of water hit him. He didn't even realize his neck was broken until a few years later. The 2nd house facade falling on him was from Steamboat Bill, Jr. It required amazing precision. Even being inches out of position meant the 2 ton facade would have hit him. The scene became his most memorable scene.

    Thanx so much for sharing!
    Buster Keaton.
    What a man.
    He could do it all.
    And did!
    No CGI. No camera tricks.
    What you saw was all Buster.
    Wrote. Directed. Produced. Acted. Comedy. Drama. Composed, played, and sang. Conceived and executed stunts. Designed and built machines and props for gags.
    The famous watertower torrent broke his neck! (Sherlock Jr. --- Buster didn't account for such water pressure And he didn't know he'd broken his neck 'til years later at a routine exam when his doctor told him so.)
    And, oh, that well-known falling housefront bit! (Steamboat Bill Jr. --- He only had about a 2" clearance in that window.)
    Quite impressive!
    The Great Stone Face.
    (Buster found out during his time in vaudeville with his parents, that if he laughed during a bit, the audience didn't, so he trained himself to keep a straight face all the time.)
    The Greatest of All Time!
    A really great guy.
    The true Iron Man: broke most every bone in his body, and kept going.
    And . . . He had pinpoint accuracy with a custard pie at 27 feet, even in his later years!
    RIP, darling Buster, and thanx so very much for the magic, music, and memories.
    (Yes. I absolutely adore Buster Keaton. For 70+ years now.)

    "The General" was my first Buster Keaton movie (about a year ago now) and I've never had such a visceral reaction to a movie as that. I've never been the sort of person to cover my eyes during a movie but there were multiple times I was almost afraid to watch, which sounds silly for such a fun, goofy film. He was one of the greats, and no one can deny that.

  • @Mrgop
    @Mrgop Год назад +83

    The first scene was a mistake. Buster was supposed to catch the building and he missed. It was such a great scene he incorporated it into the film. How he was able to catch that car without ripping off his arm is incredible. Dick Van Dyke asked him if there was any trick photography and Keaton said no. Amazing!!

    • @TehButterflyEffect
      @TehButterflyEffect Год назад +27

      He had to have had a harness under his clothes with a hook on his arm that caught the car. Getting yanked like that with no support would break arms and rip shoulders apart.

    • @ykrgfk
      @ykrgfk Год назад +15

      @@TehButterflyEffect Pretty sure the severity of the yank is much exaggerated by deliberately throwing his body horizontally. The car isn't actually going that fast. The flying in the air from the back of the tram is even better. I think I spied a wire. Still brilliant, though.
