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.
He was not only a genius, but his athleticism was unbelievable... countless scenes where he risks his life and yet retains that stoic expression. There will never be another like him. May God bless this man.
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!!
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 ?
@@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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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'.
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👍💟
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. 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
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.
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.
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.
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.
Watching em loading the bed springs. The expensive bit. They'd have that stuffed with horse hair and sewn into a cover. Just thought I'd throw that info out there. (Sorry horse)
Oh Buster, you brilliant Soul, truly there won’t be someone like you, Laurel And Hardy, The Three Stooges, Abott And Costello, Jimmy Durante or Jerry Lewis ever Again.
I love the very subtle joke after Onyx comes out of the Goat Gland Specialist's office all spunky. Buster looks at the horse, glances at his .... package, then slips back inside as if he was gonna get him a bit of goat gland, too, and not just go back after his hat.
Wow - 100 years ago, life was really modern for those folks, they were coming out with electrical gadgets all the time. That was a very comical and entertaining, they sure had a lot of extra's in uniform.
What if there is an alternate universe where there is no sound and everything is in greyscale? I like to think that silent film characters were "born" (i.e. created) to inhabit such a place and thus don't have vocal chords (or eardrums either.)
Yep, early erectile dysfunction quack doctor. Supposedly transplanted goat glands into men who were impotent. According to IMDB, there were several Hollywood actors who used these doctors. LOL
Happy Centennial Anniversary Buster Keaton! Happy Thanksgiving and Merry Christmas ☃️🎄 Go HUG someone today IF they're been vaccinated or not 🚫 Blessings and Hugs 💖💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕!
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.
Й@@befdoglover1
This stuff is great. Look how creative and how good production was as early as in the 20s
I love very old films like that one too 👍
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.
🙏
I do
@@d.b.levitt I think he meant that there isn't anyone like him.
@@joshuabrophy4585 I think he meant that there isn't anyone like him.
what is slow motion? do you mean the 3 frames? loooool
The car grab gets all the glory, but the $5.00 horse was priceless.
And when he lit his cigarette with a perfectly spherical bomb ;)
The horse had $5 paper on it, so technically it had a price..
then the other guy gets the suit x) amazing stuff
$5 in 1922 would be $92.96 today.
citizens can find cops once year" that was hilarious
BEAUTIFUL quality! Glad we still have this film! :-)
Ever since I saw Steamboat Bill Jr. I have been hooked on Buster Keaton's movies.
He was not only a genius, but his athleticism was unbelievable... countless scenes where he risks his life and yet retains that stoic expression. There will never be another like him. May God bless this man.
I love Buster Keaton's movies so much....

Charlie chaplin movies look fantastic in HD
and the oscar goes to the horse
Still reasonable the Oscar now day
Buster Keaton, one of the three greatest comic reservoirs in recorded history.

@@richardcanedo1614 oh wow that's pretty cool

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

It's in this version, before he gets goat gland treatment to pep up the horse
Cops was filmed on location.
🎶 bad boys bad boys what you gonna do what you gonna do when they come for you 🎶
This is considered by many, as the best short film by Keaton and also the darkest.
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.
and he commits suicide in the end wtf

Read that as 'dankest'

Was not expecting the twist ending
I didn't either.
Très très très drôle! Un délire de création et d'invention comique avec un rythme effréné, sans aucun équivalent dans le cinéma moderne. Culte. Merci!
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. 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
Wow! International love for Buster!! Isn’t he the best? 💛

I love Buster Keaton's Stunts.💚💚💙
If only modern comedy films were like one of these.
what for? there is a time for everything

I swear, I remember seeing this in Yosimite Sam's special or something.
No wonder the man is still popular today
Before Johnny Knoxville, there was Buster Keaton
lol, comparing an idiot to a real actor? must be american!
Greatest actor ever.
Omg the false teeth coming out with the bits had me floored!!
That dog @ 5:56 was like, hella rude....
The original Bill Murray
I am so glad people are rediscovering him!!! Pure genius at its best
Plus Grand Acteur de tout les temps 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
15:41 What a stunt!
No good deed goes unpunished.
285th rule of acquisition!
Buster Keaton was a genius daredevil, and the scene where he grabs a car at speed is insane.
9:29 if you want your mind blown, ask your Google home "What is a goat gland specialist" 😅😂🤣
My grandpa met Buster Keaton, and got his autograph
UTTERLY AND UNDENIABLY - A MASTERPIECE ♥♥♥♥ BUSTER KEATON is THE KING of Them ALL ♥♥♥♥
Had to Google Goat Gland Specialist. Don't do it.
Who are the 22 JERKS, that striked the thumbs-down icon?
To get “goat gland doctor” point, I had to google
Nice movie. A good comedy.
great mr keaton ... thank you for share Liza Likulina
Keaton's works are amazing considering the time they were worked on
I love the 1920s so much😍beautiful film. Genius
An absolute madlad.
Now you know where the Matrix-francise got their inspiration from, with that Neo vs multiple Agent Smiths fight.
Im broke was a phrase in 1922 lmao
That left turn packs a punch!!🥊
thank you count dankula for bringing me here
Fantastic watching Buster Keaton . Thank you
so, so many sight gags had to be written for silent films, and this is where Buster shines.
I was watching The Office and I keep thinking the guy who plays Ryan would make a good BK in a biopic
Oh how I miss when you could find a good Goat Gland Specialist.
Those were the days.
Que gėnio de realização e de meios técnicos
05:47 I feel poor for the horse, it looked so underfed yet bring so many heavy things 😥😥
The ladder scene!😄
Great comedian writer director all in one buster kitten and also stuntman only one create man in Hollywood
Hilarious! Madcap! More creative then a lot of what passes for comedy today.
Excellent image quality, thanks. Can someone explain to me about ''Goat gland''?, I did not understand that.
Just search for “goat gland specialist”
Wow they made the second episode of cops in 1989 😮
Oh Buster we miss you! I've always wondered how he didnt get his arm yanked off by that stunt with the car... any insight folks?
Bill D. in Iowa he did in the first take, they had to wait for it to grow back before they could continue filming
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.

They used CGI
@@kharris3352 pls tell me you're joking
@@arson1tez No I’m not. I legitimately believe they were using CGI a century ago
What a gorgeous film. I laughed my ass off.
Watching em loading the bed springs. The expensive bit. They'd have that stuffed with horse hair and sewn into a cover. Just thought I'd throw that info out there. (Sorry horse)
the greatest of all times

yeah - women behave the same. SHE wants, HE delivers ... because he is weak and has no self esteeme. top message! lol
1920s times were _scary._
No one had a voice, the world was black and white, and the roads were made of dirt.
When I was young one I though this xD
I know it was crazy and it was great no pc no sjw everybody was there self

BUSTER KEATON'S stunts in 1920's are absolutely amazing, awesome and astoundingly alive. 😊😊😂😂😅😅❤❤
Anyone else get the Goat Gland Joke? Google "Goat Gland Doctor". You won't believe what this Doctor was doing.
Yep, early erectile dysfunction quack doctor. Supposedly transplanted goat glands into men who were impotent. According to IMDB, there were several Hollywood actors who used these doctors. LOL
..............Wow!!
Beautiful accompaniment by Ben. Thanks.
Thank you have not seen busters work for a spell since childhood
Can someone explain the "goat gland" reference?
There was a famous doctor in the 1920s who claimed he could cure impotence with goat glands
One John R. Brinkley.
Yes, it was a quack medical procedure!
That was very good and very entertaining
the best
15:33 man got JUKED
Legend has it that the barking dog at 6:00 is till there barking...😊
