10 Most Impressive Buster Keaton Movie Stunts, Ranked

Before Tom Cruise and Jackie Chan, Buster Keaton was doing all kinds of amazing stunts himself, and the best of these are now among the most iconic moments in film history. Keaton was part of a famous vaudeville family, and after making his stage debut at age three, he became the biggest draw of their show. While arguably a form of child abuse, the way Keaton’s father would throw Buster around and otherwise get the boy to perform slapstick stunts eventually led to him becoming the greatest physical comedian of the silent film era.
