Buster Keaton Cops 1922

[@theoriginaljean3917]

This stuff is great. Look how creative and how good production was as early as in the 20s

[@kacperoleszko4785]

I love very old films like that one too 👍

[@foto21]

Old film stock was essentially as good as it was later, just black and white.

[@MelBee128]

15:42 WOW. I watched in slow motion and cannot believe how effortlessly Keaton did that stunt without managing to pull his arm off or get hurt somehow. Unbelievable. Nobody like him.

When he grabs on to the back of that car and his body goes 90 degrees. Amazing.

Buster is the king of stunts, unless you also count Harold Lloyd. I have seen Harold do plenty of stunts as well.

I take my hat off to respect Buster Keaton. After almost a century of its production, more than 240 K viewers in less than 3 years! He was certainly a genius in his field.

[@jrcrawford4]

The car grab gets all the glory, but the $5.00 horse was priceless.

[@muzhikforchaplin1203]

And when he lit his cigarette with a perfectly spherical bomb ;)

[@Spatterdock]

The horse had $5 paper on it, so technically it had a price..

[@svis6888]

then the other guy gets the suit x) amazing stuff

This restoration makes it look like it must have on state-of-the-art projectors in 1920! So much film from that era has degraded so badly, it's great to see a wonderful film look so crisp and new. Thank you!!

The amount of stunts that would be green screened nowadays is ridiculous. He was amazing!

[@stevejailbirdmatt]

A gag featuring Buster pulling pulling the wagon with a tired horse was dropped. The crew spent a whole day trying to get the horse to co-operate! Buster whisked off by the car is amazing and today would be done by computers.

[@briscoelang2586]

It's in this version, before he gets goat gland treatment to pep up the horse

Wonderful comedy, one of his funniest shorts and one of his most famous ones. When you think of Buster Keaton films you think of this comedy and his feature 'The General'.

[@ericblair8821]

Buster Keaton, one of the three greatest comic reservoirs in recorded history.

[@changopardomuzik4953]

If they could put musical scores along with the film, could they just have voices recorded and over layed to make it sound like the actors were talking, like in cartoons ?

[@richardcanedo1614]

@@changopardomuzik4953 No, there were NO "soundtracks" on films until much later in the '20s. The films were silent and live music -- a single piano player in smaller, local theaters, a trio of piano, fiddle, and drums in larger places, and chamber or even full orchestras, or gigantic organs in "movie palaces" like The Roxy or the Paramount in New York -- accompanied the film. That was the case for "live action" films or cartoons.

[@changopardomuzik4953]

@@richardcanedo1614 oh wow that's pretty cool

[@marianapereyra1727]

Nice to see it wasn't filmed in a studio to take a peak into the '20's lifestyle and some of Buster Keaton's amazing stunts to this day especially the one in which he grabs onto a passing car👍💟

[@soyanoli]

I love Buster Keaton's movies so much....

[@thegame6141]

Ohhh really?

[@Buddahabrot]

I 'm only 3minutes into the movie and I am already in awe how smooth the main character moves and how natural the scene and jokes progresses. This work of art is a must see for dancers like me and all other artistic physical performers. 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

[@vidimur1977]

This is considered by many, as the best short film by Keaton and also the darkest.

[@Dimeropepe]

I think I know what you mean about the "darkest" part. Yes, it's one of Keaton's great shorts, but the scene where the cops are marching reminds the audience of a true bombing on the S.F. Police during The Preparedness Parade in 1916.

[@DaviLu]

and he commits suicide in the end wtf

[@MelBee128]

This was filmed during Keaton's friend Fatty Arbuckle's rape/murder trial. Some say the darkness of the movie was mirroring what was going on with Fatty.

[@MelBee128]

That may have been the inspiration but apparently Harold Lloyd also lit his cigarette off a prop bomb he found on set that turned out to be real. He blew his fingers off and lost feeling in that hand along with his hearing for awhile.

[@autumnalburn]

Read that as 'dankest'

[@vildefreire5731]

Depois que descobri o filme A General com Buster, fique viciada nos curta dele. Ele é o melhor de todos os tempos, Sensacional 👏👏📽🎬❤🔝🔝💯

[@seltaeb3302]

Thankyou. Really nicely restored films. Buster would be proud as we are in him. If only you had listened to Chaplin's advice. He did warn you to not lose control & ownership of your work not to sign with them. Even Chaplin had studios problems.

Oh my god I remember seeing clips of this movie in one of those Bugs Bunny compilation movies. Always wondered where they were from. Also, this is one of those rare instances, where Buster's character doesn't have a happy ending.

TV Trope of the Day: Kafka Komedy Essentially, the whole premise of this film runs on it. Buster Keaton’s character is trying to make honest and modest money, but the world has a dark sense of humor and won’t let the main character get his way.

Try turning down the volume on your favorite modern comedy or comic - there’s no modern match for this level of physical skill - Chevy, Steve Martin, Peter Sellers - great physical comedians without a doubt , but Keaton was just in a class of his own and these clips are priceless

[@scaparapadoobedoooo3170]

Bill D. in Iowa he did in the first take, they had to wait for it to grow back before they could continue filming

[@billd.iniowa2263]

LOL! I think he must have had his foot in a loop at the end of a rope that ran under his clothes and up his arm sleeve. It may have had a hook of some kind. Then all he would have to do is hook the bar on the car and keep his leg locked straight. But that makes too much sense. I prefer to think it was his magical sinewy strength. For a little guy, he sure was strong. He could have been an athlete.

There was a famous doctor in the 1920s who claimed he could cure impotence with goat glands

[@ClaudiusPunchinello]

One John R. Brinkley.

[@BETTERWORLDSGT]

Yes, it was a quack medical procedure!

[@rupertrgogoi2556]

Around 1922, there was a movement in the US to fit all publicly sold rifles with silencers. Rifles to be fitted with silencers. Cops protested. Cops were old fashioned that time. The police in about 1922 protested, saying they wanted to see there the loud report or popping sound of the gun is coming from. Cops of 1922 wanted the public to come forward to cops to say that a loud report (sound) came from the direction of the fifth floor a certain building. Silencers of rifles were never completely silent. One can hear a clapping sound or a small popping sound even if a rifle is fitted with a silencer.

Proof that you do not need SOUND to enjoy old fashion comedy like this. When it comes to Keaton, Lloyd or Chaplin, yes, action speaks louder than words. In fact, I think silent comedy is funnier than sound ones.
