Last monday I explained to my son and my daughter how Buster Keaton performed all these stunts himself. They said he must have been a very prepared and trained performer.

Fun story, he was severely depressed when they did this shot, and agreed to it knowing the facade might strike and kill him, he just didn't care.

He's dead, so no one is going to tell him anything.

Does it clip his left shoulder or am I seeing things?
-
He actually broke his shoulder. And stood still. Tough as nails.

but this is a camera trick ;)

His shattered left shoulder must’ve been a camera trick too
-
ok, this one isn't a camera trick then (sorry, my memory just trick me ;) ), but these movies are full of these tricks, play with color lightbulbs, matte painting and mirrors/refraction... old tricks are the best ones, today all are VFX :(

His stunts were amazing. He was also funny as hell. One of my favorite examples of his small scale antics was the time he appeared on Candid Camera.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lMMSpM8vukI …
