A 10 foot face plant? Holy smokes...!


I know someone here *has* to have mentioned this somewhere on these discussions, so sorry if I'm rehashing things.

But one of the most startling stunts was when Buster was walking along the top of a wall and steps off with one foot accidentally, then tumbles of the wall into something like a 10 foot drop with a face plant at the end!

I backed it up and watched in slow motion...quite simply unbelievable!

I don't remember this.

It happens 34m 10s into the film, give or take.
