Steamboat Bill, Jr. (Charles Reisner + Buster Keaton, 1928)

Mar

23

National Near Miss Day

Steamboat Bill, Jr. (1928)

In Steamboat Bill, Jr., former vaudevillian Keaton narrowly escapes the façade of a house crashing down around him.

“I'm trying to teach you to run it – not wreck it!”

– William 'Steamboat Bill' Canfield

Both the man and the stunt lived on, probably most famously in Keaton aficionado #JackieChan's Project A Part II (HK, 1987).

 

Despite all the well-meant tributes, none of the later stunts are as nail biting as the pre-OSHA original.
