..And he did ALL his own stunts !! He DID break his neck once during filming–and kept going! In the scene with the building falling around him (Steamboat Bill jr) he only had about 1″ in all directions from the heavy prop hitting him!! Every stunt he does is just so AMAZING!! Done with incredible timing; and without green screens, stunt men, “computer enhanced”, etc.. And he makes it look so effortless !! So entertaining!(One suggestion:I do replace the background music when I watch silents)
I took a chase scene from Buster Keaton – “COPS”, and removed the sound. And then, instead of classical music I put DUBSTEP as background music (a modern type of extreme dance music with lots of wierd sounds, deep basslines and heavy drums).
The result was pretty interesting, so I decided to upload it to Youtube.
Oh wow! This guy, Buster Keaton, was just phenomenal! He Rocked! So funny! Think about it young people, he did this stuff 80 or 90 years ago! He’s still funny! Almost a century later, he’s STILL Funny!
wow, i watched this a while back and was just watching your walking through time and came back to this, which i pretty awesome not gonna lie (and don’t blink)
I clicked on this video because the name Buster Keton looks familiar to me but I don’t know why. I clicked on more videos by you after watching your video talking to your 12yr old self becaus eI liked your name.
Anybody likes Keaton oughta watch “The Railrodder” here on youtube, where he zips across Canada in an electric rail-car. One of Buster’s final starring roles, from the early 60s.
Thanks—own it. Buster “The Great Stone Face” Keaton was pure genius to the end. Critic Roger Ebert called him “arguably, the greatest actor-director in the history of the movies.” Orson Welles referred to Keaton’s movie “The General” as “the greatest comedy ever made, the greatest Civil War film ever made, and perhaps the greatest film ever made.” Thanks for the nice montage. Subbed.

I was bored, so I made a little video.

Your username doesn’t happen to be half a reference from Doctor Who, does it?
Those props are pretty impressive. I think I’d kill for that falling apart car.
@TheXand19 I’ll sell you mine. It’s been falling apart for years. I still have most of it in the garage tho
Cool montage

After the interview with yourself, I had to check out your other videos. You are amazing. I think the future is very bright for you!

Does anyone know where this version of down to the well is from? It sounds completely different from the Bossanova version.
It’s from The Purple Tape, which is their original demo.
