Ballsy, considering it actually happened as pictured. No green screen or cgi back then, obvz.

Buster Keaton was hardcore with his stunts. Almost as hardcore as Harold Lloyd.

I think Keaton’s were more physical. And, as you know, he did them all himself, even when he was 70 years old and suffering from lung cancer in his last movie .

Harold Lloyd’s risk-taking notwithstanding, there’s a certain brute-force to Buster Keaton, definitely. That crosstie

rearranged his whole face with the end of the timber. But there he is, chucking around a 90lb+ log.
