They were creative I'll say that. As for the actors and stunt people, looks like back then they were a dime a dozen. "Yeah, three actors were injured real bad in that last scene, but we got more...so let's shoot the next scene. Are the man eating lions ready?"
People back then were tougher.. The current generation of easily offended Wokomos spend most of their time condemning the past that has given them everything in between trying to make men women and riot over career criminals Stunts performed by Buster Keaton would have you crying like a little girl lol if you had to do them
The studios cared little for the welfare and safety of the actors and stuntmen during those years-if you didn,t ask questions they wouldn't tell you-some things never change
Better? It's not better. It was more common for people to get injuries because of stunts like these. Movies nowadays are way better because it's way safer than how it was before. I rather people be safe and sound than having something "real".
Sometimes you can't even tell that the effect was made on computer. So why is it better in real life than on computer? Imagine if you died during a stunt..
@@vlakytramvajecz8947 My take on this is they were able to do these kind of stunts (whether safely or not) and us knowing they didn't have computers to do them. Have to respect their creativity and even bravery.
Help was cheap in those days, and many actors were payed more if they could pull off their own stunts. Fatalities tho in those days were not as common as you might think. Injuries were tho.
@@MrKabDrivr Widely available, super cheap, and they didn't have that pesky 'dead man switch' type of gas pedal that was the only accepted norm in other cars even back then. So, you could put a dummy at the wheel, start the engine, set the throttle to the desired speed, and the ol' Flivver would just keep going until it hit something. The perfect stunt vehicle!
1:07 getting dragged has always been a personal worst-nightmare scenario for me. On the occasions when I'm getting a ride (rare now, as I've had my own car for many years), I involuntary sweep my arms forward around myself to pull any supposed loose fabric away, and step well clear of the car before it pulls away.
An excellent compilation. I was only disappointed hearing the over used Maple Leaf Rag to accompany it. So much other fine music from the 1910 -1925 period.
@@manitoba-op4jx to that end you are correct. There really is something called candy glass it's made specifically for stunts. Although I don't think candy glass had been invented at this point. There is a video here on youtube where there are videos of vintage automotive collisions. These are not stunts. These are actual collusions. And they are devistating. Look. These cars here are built well mechanically, but are about as strong as matchsticks glued together. So in that instance, yes. Thank God they don't build cars like they used to.

Look again, it's not the cars that they were using that was amazing but the fact that there were people in those cars. No seat belts, no helmets, in fact no safety gear what so ever. The 'stuntman' or 'stuntwoman' was the actors. These people were inventing the stunts and how to do them.
I love old silent films because it was all real the closest thing to editing they did was speed up the scene. and yes plenty of actors got hurt but all in the name of entertainment
I'm not so sure. Back then I believe an audience would have bee pretty shocked. They weren't raised on multiple explosions and mayhem like we have been.
It's just amazing to me that the Stars used to do their own stunts! I think I saw an old silent flick where Lillian Gish was crossing a river with ice floes, and I mean the real thing. Maybe I'm wrong on that, does anyone remember?
It was Lillian Gish and Richard Barthelmess to the rescue and yes the water was real and ice cold water at that. D.W. Griffith's "Way Down East". Because of modern insurance rules and legal issues we'll never see film making like this again. Incredible risks were taken. Real cold weather, real flowing water, wooden studio made "ice floes" and real actors leaping across the ice cold water. Actor Richard Barthelmess was wearing a heavy fur coat and had he slipped off and into the flowing river would likely have drowned and Lillian Gish in his arms with him. Risk taking we will never see again.
They had all the good ones in there except 1: it was of a very old car going down a road which has a rail that goes over a house- the car goes over the house via the rail, and free falls with a CRASH! On the hither side. Heh, heh! The last time I saw that video was in 1961 in elementary school at 6 years of age!
Like to Laurel and Hardy wrecked their Ford Model T in two episodes in the silent films, and they are: Leave Them Laughing, and Two Tars. Some Model T does fall apart in some silent films.
@@adogeatingapieceofbread9335 For one thing, the 'disintegrating car' gag at the very beginning. He's also the guy who gets hit by the motorcycle while car surfing on the running boards of two separate cars, and who tries to move a house by nailing his Ford to the wall and driving off - causing the frame to leave the bodywork behind. The brief clip of him hitting a tree which seems to have grown right in the middle of the road, is from Seven Chances. Finally, the scene with the car body getting launched like a boat, is from Sherlock Jr, a true Keaton classic and one of the finest comedies to come out of the silent era.
@@adogeatingapieceofbread9335 the first one and if I’m right 0:42 is from his Sherlock Jr. Probably there are other stunts of him in the video but can’t recognize them

Love these old silent comedies. Can you imagine actors doing this today?
"The Artist" 2011
It was all done very slow and than sped up.
You know a beast named as Mr Bean ??? 😀😀😀
Yes they did
@@AkramulhaqCHLoL 😂
I do
Jason Bourne and The Rock are nothing compared to these legends.
And no computer animations.
Everything they did was the real deal.
Super heroes.
Far less creative
Don't forget Dwayne Johnson
Isn't Jason Bourne the character not the actor?

I'd say you probably aren't far from the truth.
The actors were the stunt people.

Now that's a stunt man right there!..Looks like a couple of them might have gotten hurt pretty bad.
The special effects are better than today's movies
Because they were real with no computer effects.
now atleast they have less risk of fricking dying
Better? It's not better. It was more common for people to get injuries because of stunts like these. Movies nowadays are way better because it's way safer than how it was before.

The ford T is one of my favourite cars.
Sadly they destroyed a lot of them back then :(((
They were probably as disposable in their time as Ford explorer's are now.
Of only they knew how valuable they would be in the future
@@joshua-danalvarez3155 its like buying Microsoft stock back in the day. If only people knew
Sounds like ford reliability
The ones that didn't get destroyed, where sold for scrap during the WW1 and WW2 scrap drives.
Loved this.
Set up to be doable but still dangerous AF.
0:11 either these were dummies, or somebody definitely died here
I can see a driver in the first car that get hit by the 2nd car i hope it just a doll or something
Exactly what I was gonna post. That second car milled him out of it. No way ya are surviving that.
I really hope they were smart enough to not man those things
Help was cheap in those days, and many actors were payed more if they could pull off their own stunts. Fatalities tho in those days were not as common as you might think. Injuries were tho.
Man the stunts in that movies are incredible!
Wow, those moviemakers were crazy! Good stuff!
Loved seeing Harold Lloyd!
And they used Ford Model T's a lot because they were nigh near indestructible!
Well... Probably mostly because they were widely available and super cheap.
Some of the movie titles are Model T puns, Wages of Tin and Lizzies of the Field, since Tin Lizzie was a nickname for the Model T

Marvellous. Impossible to do with today's cars.
The best thing I love about these is there’s absolutely no CGI involved. Today’s film industry could learn so much from these old movies
The CGI in this films is 100% accurate...
Someone here is going to get whooshed, I can feel it.
Brilliant compilation, I could watch Mr. Keaton every day but all the other clips are great also. Thanks for your work.
An excellent compilation. I was only disappointed hearing the over used Maple Leaf Rag to accompany it. So much other fine music from the 1910 -1925 period.
I've heard it say they don't build things like they used to. Thank God.
Yep. Imagine if cars were still tanks like they used to be. Car manufacturers and mechanics would have a hard time making money

It was all about the timing , amazing what they could do with out sound...

Time and space allowed them to live a life of everyday exploration.
Our history teacher showed this in class
Truly Chaotic masterpieces
And we call ourselves creative than old people ...
They were way ahead of us
Every generation of entertainers raises the bar.
Now that was amazing entertainment and such photographic tricks and stunts!Loved it so much I subscribed!🤣👍
I take my hat off to each and every one that took part in all of the footage just seen
The music made me dance🎉
Well done, huge production and wonderful.
Excellent montage, sharp videos and ‘The Entertainer’ ... 🇺🇸
"Maple Leaf Rag" not "The Entertainer"
Jeez most of those are better than what you see in modern movies 😂
Kind of amazing. And risky-looking. No CGI, makes me wonder how many actors were injured in these scenes, if any.
Don, this is great! Could you (or anyone) please ID some actors for me? Who is in these shots? Thanks!

I love how like all of them are Ford model Ts
Car with Cartoon Logic didn't exi-
I love the music!
Me too
Maple Leaf rag by Scott Joplin.
Charlie Chaplin was pretty good on roller skates.
1:37 was what really got me
Still incredible.😯 Respect.
0:11 I remember it from Stuntman PS2 intro
Extremely too hilarious 👌🤣👍

No CGI that's the reason for those legendary movies
That stunt at 1:37 (Buster Keaton's "Sherlock Junior") is remarkably similar to the "Salt corrosion" scene in the Bond film "The Living Daylights"
Quality showmanship takes risks.
LOL!!!!! There's no CGI here.😂🤣😂 Harold Lloyd, the greatest silent picture actor/stuntman.
Amazing and imagine there wasn't much safety features etc I love watching the good old days
I wouldve laughed at these in those times lol classic
I'm not so sure. Back then I believe an audience would have bee pretty shocked. They weren't raised on multiple explosions and mayhem like we have been.
Buster Keaton, Charlie Chaplin, and Roscoe "Fatty" Arbuckle are the legends of the silent Movie like this
So viele schöne Oldtimer ein wahnsinn was man früher für Stands machte!!
This had me laughing out loud
Wow what an awesome video!
Holymolly ! 0:13 that car just landed on a dude.......😂👌🏼
How can they still survive dude. Respect +88888888
Ah the good old days 😀👌🏻
0:14 Looks to me that guy died. Maybe it was a dummy.
They moved a little bit so it's a real person
Cars : driving
Car body : so you have chosen death
No effects dude that's dope
0:41 would be a good stunt for a modern James Bond movie
It's just amazing to me that the Stars used to do their own stunts! I think I saw an old silent flick where Lillian Gish was crossing a river with ice floes, and I mean the real thing. Maybe I'm wrong on that, does anyone remember?
