since his work is centred on the stunts, i think its impact on the viewers will be timeless. no need for much character speech, body language gets the message across!

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.
@@TheSRBgamer63? Tom cruise is one of most active guy in doing his own stunt. U don't have to diss other just to praise other both can be good . Also cruise stunts are different to Jackie's more dance/kung fu one's
Keaton was amazing, truly mind blowing, even some of his wire work stunts are incredible. It’s easy to see where Jackie got a lot of his inspiration from. There are a few stunt actors that were from the Hong Kong umbrella that are notable, Sammo Hung, Biu Yuen, Michelle Yeoh. @@80sguy27
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.
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.
Buster Keaton were insane, genius, fantastic... This whole concept of making the whole movie running in 2D is cool even for today... This guy was one of a kind
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.)
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.
Those things aren’t light either! Apparently many crew members walked off the set during the building falling stunt. They had run some test falls prior to the stunt and saw that their calculations were pretty unreliable about where Buster should stand and they thought he was definitely going to get killed. Buster did it anyway!
There were great ones besides him - Lloyd, Chaplin, ... But Keaton was the best, I believe. These stunts: The ideas first - the ingenious set-ups - the precision in the choreography finally. Flawless..! What a genius.
Love Lloyd, Chaplin, Keaton, Laurel & Hardy, Raymond Griffith, Charlie Chase -- all brilliant, all different from each other. No reason to compare them, really... We all have our 'pets', but they were all incredible. My personal 'pet' is Lloyd, but I have to admit: if I could have spent some time with just one of them, it would have been Buster. His dedication, his lack of pretense, his total professionalism are really unmatched. He just looks to have been a wonderful guy.
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.
Well, not such a sad life. In the end, he was happily married, in demand on TV, bought a mini-ranch like he'd dreamed of back in the 1920s, and caught the reneissance of his movies' fame and the applause of the whole world. Is that so bad? :)
"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.
A true artist in of his craft, i remember watching as a child and being unaware of the skill required just to make me laugh, and did he make me laugh, thank you ❤.
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!!
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.
@@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.
What a guy!! a true legend and a real cinematic hero! . No computer wizardry... just balls of steel and well thought out stunts (and i'm guessing some luck too..)
What makes great stunts outstanding? Well, making them sound like they just happened by chance. This man aced all narrow chances of survival probability to his favour. Respect.
I was waiting for the inevitable "Buster Keaton is underrated" line, but thankfully it hasn't come. 😄 The man was pure genius, and unbound by modern OH&S standards. Like those for generations before me, I could sit here all day and gleefully watch his work.
@@ethribin4188 Just came across your comment after watching Buster Keaton. Just out of curiosity, who would you say are the top three most important actors of all time? Mine would be Laurence Olivier, William Shakespeare and Clint Eastwood. Additional ones would be Tom Hanks, John Wayne, Michael Kaine, Sean Connery, Anthony Hopkins, Angela Lansbury Daniel-Day Lewis and Steven Seagal. Haha, no, all are serious except the last one, lol. 12/15/2023, 5:24am
seems like a poorly formed question since everyone will have different criteria for what constitutes "important" and have different subjective answers as a result I don't know why people argue about these things when there's clearly no objective answer
While recognized throughout the world as a comic icon/genius, I still think he's Super under-rated. Possibly the greatest. Just saw a clip from the 1952 movie Limelight with Charlie. I'd forgotten how good he was & a few years ago I went to a small private theatre where they showed "7 Chances" w/live piano--It was a cinema experience that I'd never had before. The stunts were so incredible but also Masterly interwoven in the visual rendering that it had become a high form of abstract art. I've also seen & or heard interviews with him in the 1950's-This dude had a thorough understanding both of film making and what would please an audience. Thank you, Buster.
Where was that? The Music Box in Chicago has a real organ they use. I don't see how they can pay the taxes, but it's great. Once saw CSO play to the movie Psycho. That was pretty cool.
The upper body strength this dude had was unreal. Do you understand how strong you gotta be and how strong your grip strength has to be to pull even half of this stuff off? I can respect an artist in his craft.
NO safety nets, harnesses, health & safety teams, special effects, trickery camera angles....NO actor of today can surpass this man's Bravery or Skills. 👏👏👏👏
Buster Keaton was the first comedian-stuntactor-illusionist. Many learnt from him and adopted his genre, such as Jackie Chan. No doubt Buster's stunts were highly dangerous and I'm sure many practices and takes were done to prevent tragedy.
Ein ganz großer und talentierter Mann. Ich habe ihn als Kind schon sehr gerne gesehen und bekam jedes mal bald einen Herzinfarkt bei seinen halsbrecherischen Stunts. Heute ist es genau noch so. 👍
Jackie Chan was inspired by buster Keaton. Jackie Chan is the greatest action star that ever lived. Anybody who doesn't believe me watch all his late 70s all of his 80s an early 90s up to drunken Master 2.@@victorlewis3251
Mr. Keaton, I have to ask you to forgive me. In my childhood, I've always loved - and laughed a lot - with Stanley & Laurel, as comedians (who was very, very well dubbed in my language, italian) and snobbing you & Charlie Ch. Now I know you both were geniuses and you really made The Silver Screen, in your own way. Kudos!
The man was a genius. And he came along at just the right time. No studio these days would allow an actor to endanger himself this way (or herself, for that matter). Plus, he had a beautiful face. I've always had a bit of a crush on him.
Órale, no sabía de este compa., (y eso que tengo sesenta y siete años) era genial, mención aparte a los trucos de cámaras tomando en cuenta la época. Woooow👏👏👏
In general, it's gorgeous. Until now, there has been nothing that would surpass it except for the technical quality of the film frame. And the acting of this actor is still top notch. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you so much for sharing this group of wonderful stunts. What a master he was, and how great that so many of us can still appreciate his stone-pan precision.
My father was a child extra in Keytons “ The Seven Ages”- his family lived about a mile from the sound stages so his mother got him in a number of pictures , then he worked as a stuntman for Howard Hawks
No camera tricks. This is all discussed in a film about Buster Keaton life. His was just amazing and Charlie Chaplin really learned to walk a tightrope too. They just had a camera that captured amazing moments on film. Plus they were the greatest of all time. They were pure professionals!!! 🖤🖤🖤
There were quite a few camera tricks. They didn’t make what he was doing any safer. The trolley scene - he was really being pulled by the trolley, but there was someone or something pulling his legs up higher off the ground. And when he was walking the plank off the building, there was definitely a fastener on that board. The difference was that the camera tricks of this time added to the insanity, rather than make it safer for the actor

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
Jackie Chan has been saying this for ages!
Could have great stunts in very bad movies most of time. It's like comparing Tom Cruise to Buster Keaton!!!!!!
They could call it a Buster
They have one already

With those stunts, it’s amazing that he lived so long.
As well as Jacky Chan
Exactly what i've thought. I even looked up when he died. He made it till 71 which is amazing based on these stuns. The guy was insane
That's only one side of the story. The stunt with the water tower wounded him for life and caused a lot of psychological pain as well.

most of the gags used in later films and animation were invented by silent era talent including Buster.
I was going to ask if he died on the job, so thanks for answering!!
У меня тоже сразу возник вопрос - а дожил он до старости? На вопрос уже ответили, спасибо!🙂
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!
Absolutely.Jackie Chan has said in interviews that Buster Keaton was a huge inspiration.
Oh yeah - and Jackie referenced Keaton's "Steamboat Bill Jr" house-fall gag in Project A Pt II

Surprisingly that didn't hinder him at all.
That's explained why it took him for a while to stand up after the water tower falls
I wonder if 1:09 contributed to him breaking his neck aswell.
didnt he break his arm with the facade stunts because he was a few inches out of alignment?
Thank you for telling about the broken neck. I was going to, now I don't have too. LOL
I just wanted to comment here. Rare video amongst billions. ❤

They are frigging heavy. It has to be a prop.
I was doing some landscaping recently, and we were using wooden sleepers.
I can attest to their weight!
They were approx' 60kg.
Definetely a hollow prop. It would be about 50Kg at that size, considering an average 400-600kg/m3 wood density.
They could be balsa, or even hollow balsa.
Absolutely brilliant, and those scene transitions 100 years before they were being done on TikTok 😮

저 시절은 진짜 날것의 스턴트다. 목숨을 건 코미디. 리스펙
And to think that this is actually HIM doing all these crazy stunts
Wonderful! Including the perfect musical accompaniment! Thanks Rafael!
Absolute balls of steel!
Órale, no sabía de este compa., (y eso que tengo sesenta y siete años) era genial, mención aparte a los trucos de cámaras tomando en cuenta la época.
Woooow👏👏👏
In general, it's gorgeous. Until now, there has been nothing that would surpass it except for the technical quality of the film frame. And the acting of this actor is still top notch. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you so much for sharing this group of wonderful stunts. What a master he was, and how great that so many of us can still appreciate his stone-pan precision.
The house falling on him remains one of the greatest scenes in cinema history. Just inspired.
He was as a bit of a Magician…
His family toured with Houdini. It was Houdini who gave Keaton his nickename "Buster"
主人公ただ1人が真顔でドタバタをやらかすのが観客の笑いをさそうんですね😂
こうして拝見すると特撮技術の稚拙な時代に身体を張っての演技 😮
鉄人というか超人と呼ぶか…なんと崇高な芸術🌟
The creativity here is just crazy
How in the world did he do half these stunts and not die?! Amazing!
The dark lord of practical comedy. Building his evil empire with his mastery of slapstick humor.
No CGI. All Buster, all the time.
The man was amazing, I laughed my ass off. the purest form of comedy, without saying a word. nothing like Keaton.
Never can’t get enough of Buster Keaton! Thank you for the compilation! I love the fall from the window. Truly one of a kind 😊
Гениальные трюки от гениального мастера трюков. Даже на сегодняшний день эти трюки просто супер. Нет никакой комп.графики и зелёного фона.😮😮
Бастер Китон и Чарли Чаплин- маэстро трюкачества
Definitely one of the best on the silent screen.
Pure genius.
My father was a child extra in Keytons “ The Seven Ages”- his family lived about a mile from the sound stages so his mother got him in a number of pictures , then he worked as a stuntman for Howard Hawks
Correction : “ The Three Ages 1926
Oh that's neat. He must have had a lot of great stories from the Golden Age of Hollywood.
He really was amazing!
No camera tricks. This is all discussed in a film about Buster Keaton life. His was just amazing and Charlie Chaplin really learned to walk a tightrope too. They just had a camera that captured amazing moments on film. Plus they were the greatest of all time. They were pure professionals!!! 🖤🖤🖤
I saw two camera tricks.
The editing on the camera tricks was outstanding, especially given the state of film technology at the time. Who needs CGI?
No. There were some, but they really didn’t contribute as much as his acting and skill did.
Please tell us the Doc name! I'd like to discover how much of those he really did, and how he did them! I'm amazed by his stunts!
There were quite a few camera tricks. They didn’t make what he was doing any safer.
The trolley scene - he was really being pulled by the trolley, but there was someone or something pulling his legs up higher off the ground.
And when he was walking the plank off the building, there was definitely a fastener on that board.
The difference was that the camera tricks of this time added to the insanity, rather than make it safer for the actor
