After almost a century, the death-defying theatrics in this classic film remain nothing short of spectacular.
Tom Cruise might have done some quintessential stunt work, but his artistry still stands on the shoulders of Buster Keaton's immeasurable contributions, none more important than the death-defying exploits in The General. Keaton's love for carnage and thrill-chasing immortalized his name as one of the most celebrated figures in the history of cinema. By 1926, his charm was already captivating audiences left and right.
How Many Risks Did Buster Keaton Take While Filming His Stunts in 'The General'? In the ensuing pursuit, Johnnie Gray manages to escape several predicaments set by the Union soldiers. In true Buster Keaton fashion, Gray falls down when his handcar slips out of the rails.
What Happens During 'The General's Iconic Train Stunt? When Johnnie Gray stumbles onto a Union Army encampment, he discovers the route the enemy train is taking: Rock River bridge. After he rescues Annabelle, they steal back The General and warn the Confederates about their plans. Two Union trains, including "The Texas" run after them, setting the stage for an explosive spectacle.
