the Blu Ray is a must have!

Hey everyone!
I bought the Blu Ray and watched it yesterday. Awesome tranfer, one of Kino's best ! More details is more fun. You see even more nuance and subtleties in Keatons face when he reacts and everything becomes more vivid. There's a load of extras on it, which I yet have to see!

For every Buster Keaton fan a must have!

Seven Chances has some of his most brilliant cinematic shots.
The car tracking shot where Buster is hit by the tree and dissapears from the shot. The part where he goes from one place to another by jumping in a car and using an absolutely perfect transition of the car on the same spot in the frame.

All the insane stunts (jump in the water, hanging on the crane, sliding under te car)

Ow man, I love this movie!

The car scenes are great. The special effects are great for today and unbelievable for 1925!

I love Keaton's stuntwork and direction on the chase sequences, too. He was truly a talented man. I can't imagine how long it took to choreograph the boulder sequence, let alone the extended chase!
