Just the gag ideas by themselves are genius. The fact that he actually did any one of these without getting killed is mind-boggling.

This has got to be the strongest argument that stunts need an oscar category

Keaton was a movie genius with the brain of a first-class mathematician and engineer plus balls of solid titanium. His stunts are still amazing!

[henrikhyrup]

You can clearly see he's an extremely skilled gymnast - AND a bit of a madman to do these things.

[janetnorman]

With those stunts, it’s amazing that he lived so long.

[jakobneville]

I'm still in awe of the house scene; Keaton was like a human cartoon. The man was fearless and possessed big balls. It's miraculous that he lived to be an old man.

Keaton earned his place in cinema history the hard way. It's great that people still appreciate the art he produced.

[hungrycrab]

No safety nets, no stunt doubles, just creative spirit and massive balls

[FreeDocumentaryNature]

Seeing this guy do those stunts puts the stunts Tom Cruise does into perspective. I’m not dissing TC - not at all! But back then, I doubt he had months to prepare with a team of everyone to back him up should anything go wrong. Buster Keaton is friggin amazing. Wow. Just. Wow.

Buster Keaton was a PIONEER, in truest sense of the word!!!! Literally put his life on the line for the *Art*

[BadKruser]

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.

Almost look unreal...Buster is truly the best silent comic actor. He had such a sad life though. Suffered so much and he gave his whole soul to his art.

[brandoncoutu]

For me it's the railroad tie one that just puts me in awe every time. To throw that thing from a sitting position so accurately is just amazing

[williamdejeffrio]

There has never been another like Buster Keaton

[superjarri]

Keaton goes beyond comedy into the realms of conceptual art.

Hard to imagine how many injuries that poor guy suffered during his hey day! Old age must have been very painful but he trooped on until the very end. What a Man.

[SvendleBerries]

Dude was nuts, but he was also the best at what he did. And still is.

[Siranoxz]

That´s some insane stuntman from the past.
You gotta respect this.

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.)
