Harold Lloyd in Feet First (1930) - The Climbing Scene, Part 2

[@ryanscrimshaw885]

Poor Harold lol... Superb! Also the infamous Cecil Hotel in the background, there is a documentary on Netflix about it.

[@bobbytate9907]

Scared me as a kid 40 years ago and terrifies me even more today!!

[@VaudevilleFanatic]

You are so right! The first time I watched this, I didn't know if I should laugh or scream. Thank you for watching! The rest of the movie is hilarious. Unfortunately, I don't believe the entire movie is on KZbin, but a lot of other Harold Lloyd movies are. I love his silent films as well. When I first started watching his movies, I didn't know he even had talkies. Once I heard his voice, though, I got addicted. His delivery of lines is so comical!

[@pankajshah6364]

Hearty loving laugh 😂! Thanks to the actor and director. Unique comedy shown in a miserable World.

[@ЮрийТельников-г6ь]

Гениально. Просто устанавливаешь декорации на крыше небоскреба и снимаешь под нужным углом. И никакого монтажа!!! Супер!!! 👍👍👍

[@John_Johnson746]

Но выглядит офигеть как реалистично! Мне даже за актера страшно стало )

[@darrelllancaster9554]

Watching Lloyd, and Keaton make my day. So talented. D🌞☯️

[@jamalmccoy1982]

Harold was amazing way ahead of his time. ...

[@seosamhofionnaghain6274]

90 years ago and still as scary as hell. Harold sure got into a fix but did he ever get out of one!!

[@idxstudios]

Y'all..this was not rear screen projection it was a facade build on top of a highrise..but the fall of the actor was 3 feet onto pads..the illusion was force perspective from the angle of the camera not showing the bottom of the roof top..the illusion here is to get the city behind with out ruining the shot as rear projection.

[@porroh869]

Great stuff! Brings back memories watching this and the silent stuff around 30 years ago..The BBC used to show Harold Lloyd compilation clips back in the day! Me and my brother as young kids used to laugh out loud and love Harold Lloyd. Anybody remembers the song.." Harold Lloyd a pair of glasses and a smile!!?"

[@diverguy3556]

Yeah, I remember those back in the early 80s, there was a narrator at the start of each clip making comments, "poor Harold is down on his luck and his convinced things are going to get better, but BOY is he wrong"

[@VaudevilleFanatic]

Really? Must bring back memories! That's cool that you watched it in your teens. I'm 27 and I only "discovered" Harold Lloyd a year ago. I love this move. It's really quite frightening, this scene, and quite amazing that he took such risks in filming it.

[@deadpan80]

7:08 Wow! The Hotel Cecil is in the background - now its a part of LA's "famed" skid row district and the site of many mysterious deaths!

[@cristerowarrior1450]

Nerve wracking. Fantastic

[@VaudevilleFanatic]

Yes, it is true. Amazingly enough, this scene is a genuine stunt. Check out what Wikipedia says: "The 'hanging outside of the skyscraper' sequence used techniques similar to those on Lloyd's most famous film, the silent Safety Last! (1923). Contrary to some Hollywood lore, this scene did not utilize special effects or back projection..."

[@diverguy3556]

The scene at 8:21 is clearly invokes some kind of projection.

[@idxstudios]

Correct..this was a stage piece built on top of a building structure with a solid base built on a roof top. Thus the set cuts off 3 feet down with padding..the cameras force the perspective in a natural state with multiple angles used..brilliant trick photography..and still used today..in fact..cliff hangar used this technique several times back in the 90s through out the film

[@chrisbailey8908]

[@mrkhan-cv4gp]

awesome scene at last time.

[@JoseyStranded]

I think the last time I watched this was almost 40 years ago. The day before yesterday I showed my 6 year old daughter some Chaplin stuff. She loved it. Then I remembered that when I was a kid I used to like this Harold Lloyd guy, so I did a search and found The Safety Last. We had such fun together watching it. She's asleep now, as I'm watching these. I am literally crying tears trying to suppress my laughter. This is funnier than I remembered. And I can see the resemblance in the extremely funny Frank Drebin's concrete dildo scene. :)

[@stefdotoi]

Thanks for posting this one! I was searching for the "monkey scene" for so long! I watched this movie when I was about 14 years old, now I'm 26.

[@VaudevilleFanatic]

(Cont.) "Before the scene in the 1962 compilation film Harold Lloyd's World of Comedy (produced by Harold Lloyd himself), a title card reads: This sequence was made without trick photography and before process was perfected. The action - at all times - actually occurred as high up as you see it happen."

[@OvOk]

This is so insane wow....

[@paulsmith1981]

I was a young man this when this film first came out. Still scares me even today.

[@jamalmccoy1982]

[@iandougall7169]

Brilliant. The stunts made me feel queasy!

[@VaudevilleFanatic]

Actually, I watched a documentary on Harold Lloyd and the making of "Safety Last" and "Feet First." I wish I could remember more about it. I've been trying to find it, but have been unsuccessful so far. I do remember that there were some precautions taken, like a mattress underneath him. But the safety measures were not great. Let's just say, you wouldn't catch me filming something like that at actual height, fake front and mattress notwithstanding. :)

[@JanieMartinSings]

He lost some fingers on one of this hands early in his career so he designed and made the prostetic glove he made to make it look like a real hand so he is wearing in this and all his movies. Notice how he looks like Stephen Colbert the Late Night show! JanieMartinSings

[@ability9534]

Still looks awesome.

[@artwdeetoo]

I think that the background was enlarged and that he was about 3 or 4 feet off the ground, otherwise, give me a break! very good that studios had this kind of setups at that time it was credible as real? Maybe.

[@fernandohuazano4749]

Recuerdo que la veia con mis hermanos los domingos hace 40 años...mientras mi madre santa nos daba de comer ricos frijoles fritos con chile en binagre y un trozo de carnitas...era delisioso disfrutarlo en compañía de la familia...cuando aun no habia muchos programas comicos mexicanos...y sin doble sentido...

[@EveningT]

I think the answer is in between the lines. When referring to "special effects" or ''trick photography', I think they are talking about the use of screens & post-production techniques etc. I don't believe Harold Lloyd actually dangled outside the building itself, although factually-sepaking, he was indeed "as high up" as we see him.. on a fake front. If I remember correctly, he was prevented from doing the high-risk stuff by the insurers. That was done by The Human Fly - & only in long shots.

[@domnulsatebinecuvintezepin6058]

Before the scene

[@williamkirby1940]

I remember reading that he was born without a thumb on one hand, he used a glove that had a fake thumb built into it

[@ΣτράτοςΤσουκάρης]

In fact, he lost it during a commercial photo shooting, when he held a bomb he thought to be a prop and he lit it with a cigarette.

[@spotsycool]

Only back then did people know how to make you cringe with suspense and at the same time make you laugh out loud. :D This is an awesome clip! Makes me want to watch the rest of the movie! Do they have it YT, by any chance? Thanks for posting this! :)

I don’t get it! Why is this a talking motion picture instead a silent film?!

[@josephroy06]

i find the stunt very good but the sequence of events while hanging isnt realistic. people from down the street may have notice a man is hanging on the building or flatform especially waterhose segment. its just a performance.

I know they used fake building fronts with a short drop mounted on top of actual tall buildings & filmed from a cute angle, but I'm not sure they used such camera tricks on all these "thrill" flics; is it true that on some films Harold was actually climbing the building front itself all those storeys up?

The gantry going up and down. Really, those two up there on the roof couldn't decide which way they were going? Couldn't they feel the difference in weight? I guess those bars are a precaution against anyone falling out of the window. Interesting as today's glass building windows won't open or if anything no more than a crack. Guess they've had a few jumpers.
