A Buster Keaton Montage

[setburger]

can anyone tell me wats the name of the movie at 1:04?

[weepingprophet]

@setburger The Navigator.

[thepredsrule]

still a awesome tribute.....!!!!!

[Thelaughinggoatt]

My sister showed me this when I was eleven, now I am thirteen (such a witchy number!) and I love him although I haven't seen his movies yet, did you know he broke his neck without noticing until he went to the doctor for his broken toe!?!

[physicalKinetics]

movie at 0:43 please? btw, you gals and guys who answer these are awesome!

[ChurchOfBlow]

@physicalKinetics The Scarecrow.

[Paperhouse81]

1:26

LMAO!

[BeatriceSteinberg]

Great job!

[suemai1]

I agree with the other 340,000 watchers....this is a blast of a compilation of Buster clips and the song really rocks along with Buster....thanks!!

PS Buster was so many things but also freaking brilliant since he thought up 99% of the gags and constructed/destructed them like the collapsing car. He had a brilliant visual mind plus NO FEAR.

[edbermac56]

Starting at 1:28 How did he DO that? Great camera trick!

[7327Jay]

@theshlongbear dude so true

[JurassicParkLegend]

Amazing how well done the stunts are, and the camera tricks, the film where he plays all the different characters is so well done, and he did it all on a broken ankle. Back before actors got special treatments.

[BlankemeyerB]

One of the Greatest silent film, caught clips of his movies and was amazed how good they were for that era.

[TheShlongBear]

The Original Jackass Buster Keaton!!!

[bubbajimmy8]

1:01 kills me every time XD

[lionsgate12345]

This is THE FUNNIEST SILENT FILM COMEDY PERIOD. As good as Chaplin was, BUSTER KEATON IS THE ULTIMATE. I can't believe I'm falling over myself on account of a movies made NINETY YEARS AGO. They are better than any comedy on the screen these days. What a Kick! And you call yourself WEEPINGPROPHET? You must be kidding. Nothing but laughter here.

[NatalyInsanity]

I love him, he's incredibly hilarious :)

[sixamsedna]

Johnny Depp drew greatly from Buster Keaton in Edward Scissorhands / Benny & Joon

[Gizmogibbongimp]

I find this man completely fascinating.

[yichella]

Buster Keaton and the Pixies... Not a connection I would have made, but the video works very well! Great editing

[GoofballLtG]

What is the name of the band and song?

[weepingprophet]

@GoofballLtG Pixies, Down to the Well.

[GoofballLtG]

I love "The General" and "Steamboat Bill Jr." I would LOVE to see all his other movies. I'd also like to see Harold Lloyds work. :)

[AquariusEddie]

LEGEND

[DameHollywood]

He is soo cute .

[20meerkat]

i love the bit where the house falls and he goes through the window, utter genuis

[LdyChatterleysPlover]

jeez they were real stunts

[DrSwirl]

this fits together very nicely, thank you for this video

[Diinhosouuza]

- O melhor !

[mircea1910]

to hell with MGM

[weepingprophet]

@mircea1910 Indeed.

[jzfk]

no crap CGI at all

[paqman67]

I can see where Jackie Chan got his inspiration from!

[nowhereman1940]

What's the name of the movie at 0:36 and 1:37, please?

[weepingprophet]

@nowhereman1940 Sherlock Jr.

[bh90210freak]

0:23 XD

Definitely one of the best filmmakers ever. They don't make them like that anymore...

[winifredatwell]

The silent screen's greatest actor/director/gagman/acrobati­c dancer/visual poet of the human condition. Lovely tribute. He risked death in every one of his classic pictures - in one, he fractured his neck, in another he was filmed almost drowning, and in his second feature he was knocked out cold by his own father when a "hitch kick" over his head went wrong. His comedy ideas were dream-like, much funnier than Chaplin's and without the sentimentality and overdone melodrama.

[brianwells456comcast]

@winifredatwell AMEN!!!!!

[ItSBraining]

what's the name of the movie at 0:12?

[weepingprophet]

@ItSBraining Our Hospitality

[ItSBraining]

@weepingprophet thank you :)

[HappyHeder]

Yep,,,excellent,,,,,,



[uani69]

[MrGrevy]

What was so great about him?

[Fleuris007]

I like it:) the music suits the timing of the action well

[rocketmanflewaway]

What's the name of the movie at 0:47?

[weepingprophet]

@rocketmanflewaway The Haunted House.

[jakesullylover14]

I looked up that Mesut Ozil guy and he kind of looks like Buster, but I still think that Buster is cuter!! :)

[oklayful]

i understand why 21 people didnt like this its nothing like the other buster movie

[logician360]

Loving the 1911 button!

[PapagenoJuan2]

1911 mode is better than that rock n roll shit :p

[weepingprophet]

@PapagenoJuan2 If by "better" you mean "worse".

[TheDonegalExpress]

I used the 1911 button on this that youtube put up. It was pretty awesome!

[tigereyes19737373]

I wish more modern actors did physical comedy.

[TheFaye82]

What is the song's name and the band??Please someone tell me!!!Thanks!!

[weepingprophet]

@TheFaye82 It's Down to the Well by Pixies from The Purple Tape.

[TheFaye82]

@weepingprophet Thanks a lot !!!Btw great vid!!!Grateful!It's in my list already!

[TheFaye82]

@weepingprophet Thank you so very much !!!

[MissGoldenDreams13]

@TheFutureLooksGrimm: That part was from "The Bell Boy" (a short he made with Roscoe Arbuckle.)

[julesm881]

You did an awesome job on this!

[ThingsWeSaidToday]

This was just great! Excellent editing!

[TheFutureLooksGrimm]

Great video and I love the Pixies! What movie is the miming washing the window in the booth scene from?

[Tiberiumaster]

1:06 reminds me of inception

[thatsupergirl]

What film is 0:10 - 0:19 from?

[weepingprophet]

@thatsupergirl Our Hospitality 

[thatsupergirl]

@weepingprophet That was quick haha, thanks. Aaaaaaand googled.

[MissGoldenDreams13]

@lowryt21: I'm sorry, I looked up Mesut Ozil, and I just don't see the resemblance. (And besides, he's WAAAAY taller than Buster was- it said on Wikipedia that he's 5"11.)

[lowryt21]

Buster Keaton fans, go to google images and search for an image a Mesut Ozil, a German soccer player and have your mind blown because of how much they look alike, there is one image of them next to each other if you type both names in the search bar

[MrAdil2013]

- The bit where he catches a ride with car by sticking is hand out and grabbing on is pricely..

[AQuarterPast12]

Awesome classic

[seissamsaraa1]

what is the name song

[Lizzie9176]

@seissamsaraa1 It's "Down To The Well" by The Pixies. If I remember rightly, it is on their "Bossanova" album.

[seissamsaraa1]

@Lizzie9176 hoooo thanks a lot

[guitarcapo]

that waterfall rope catch is awesome. How the hell did he do that?

[stratman06]

Mute this and put v=UWnf6U-nznQ over the top.

[GoofballLtG]

I LOVE IT!!! Buster Keaton Rocks and the video does too thanks <3

[aynradd]

(( classic ) )

[TheSorrowfulGoth]

I love Buster. :) He did all his own stunts, and to be honest, all that in the video is real. :)

[DrJobs]

What's the name of the song?

[yxinz]

I think he's mad suave! hot as johnny in Benny and Joon. esp 0:12

[Gorseheart]

What is 00:48-00:54 from and what is 1:45 from?

[Shatallion]

Ahh! wow this is amazing! lol he's great! thank you for making this and sharing! :D

[krstcmjns]

The clip where he needed to go pooh was HILARIOUS.

[zombiemonster]

F'ing BRILLIANT! You sir made one KICK ASS video!

[Sandyelicious]

I love love love this! I cant thank you enough for making this! The music is fantastic too! Im going to the Buster Keaton Film Festival in a few weeks and cant wait to view his movies on the big screen!

Thank you again

[thatsupergirl]

Thanks for this video weepingprophet. I reckon you've introduced a helluva lot more people to the genius that is Keaton.

Oh, and i just had to buy this demo version of 'down to the well'.

[greeeeeg2]

1:10 wow

[AceOfMage]

1:28 to 1:35!!!!!!

[ScoutCrafter]

Amazing editing!!! Awesome video!!! Thanks for posting!!!

[FamousBirthdays]

A day to remember the American actor and filmmaker Buster Keaton who was born October 4, 1895 who was one of the greatest actors and directors of all time. He died of lung cancer February 1, 1966 age 70.

[LoveLyLieKie]

I dare anyone to not love this man. like it's possible...

[pilotjones07]

sweet video...is this the pixies- down the well?

[ashoksukhu]

just great

[searcherboy]

The music's a little odd, but it's always a joy to watch Buster.

The greatest physical comedian of all time.

[Sarahdony]

The man who was not allowed to smile but made a lot of us smile,,

[ShiverTheClown]

i love this.

[weepingprophet]

@ShiverTheClown I love your teacher.

[ShiverTheClown]

:D my film arts teacher played this video for the class. we're making silent movies. Buster Keaton... wow.

[duckman531]

Buster Keaton and Charlie Chaplin are the yin and yang of comedy. They compliment each other perfectly. If you think Charlie Chaplin is better than Buster Keaton, than you don't fully understand Charlie Chaplin. If you think Buster Keaton is better than Charlie Chaplin, than you don't fully understand Buster Keaton.

[mills211]

This is actually the only song I like by The Pixies thanks to Buster Keaton. <3

[999manman]

Uh....WOW!!! All before CGI!!!!

[blacknygges]

Jackass the movie. :D!

[razorblade42069]

Music from its age & period would be more appropriate and less distracting.

[Meowmena]

Wow love it !

[Dierk1945]

<3 Buster Keaton + The Pixies....... "Down to the well"

[MuIdoon]

1:09

This man should most definitely be dead.

[kramnostam]

disregard that last comment... I just found out in the comments below!!

[kramnostam]

hello weeping prophet... can you tell me what version of "down to the well" that is? it's not the one off bossanova right? cheers

[TheMarcin4411]

Man! He is great!

[jackbliss]

Man what a blatant rip off from Charlie Chaplin >:(

[weepingprophet]

@jackbliss It's funny, because they really weren't very similar at all.

[jackbliss]

@weepingprophet Ya I apologize for that rude comment. I guess Buster Keaton was special in his own way...it's just that I've been watching Chaplin since I was a kid and love him too much. Should look to watch some of Mr.Keaton's work too. Cheers :)

[weepingprophet]

@jackbliss No worries. You're in for a treat.

[moonshiny74]

@jackbliss Well, at least you apologised for saying Keaton is a Chaplin rip-off, which is as far from the truth as you can get. It's quite funny that you think a man who became famous at 3 years old for his slapstick, and is heralded as the world's greatest physical comedian (and Hollywood's first stuntman), would rip off Chaplin. Chaplin has nothing on him...and he ripped off everyone, including BK and Stan Laurel.

[ronniesoak2003]

@moonshiny74 Chaplin developed his own style, He did not rip anyone else off. Chaplin was visual humour, completely different from Keaton's. As for Stan Laurel, he started his career in Fred Karmo's troupe of actors as the more established Charlie Chaplin's understudy. Keaton was discovered and devoloped By Rocoe Fatty Arbuckle in his film beginning. All these greats came along at roughly the same time, with their own styles.

[geekyvince]

@jackbliss You don't study silent films do you?

[ihsaraaa]

@jackbliss he was in the same vein of entertainment as chaplin, but definitely no rip off. he'd been doing vaudeville since he was very small. ):

[julijundrius]

vaya crack!!!!!!!!

[christianbodin]

En anglais de la part de qq1 de la Comédie de Caen, que je connais bien ! Super boulot, j'adhère à fond.

[christianbodin]

Every time i seen your production i love it ! Thank you !

[o0Jizm0o]

what song is playing?

and y havent i heard this song before!? lol

[cateinblue2]

You have some good taste! Buster Keaton and the Pixies!?? Awsome!

[Dierk1945]

what band is that?

[christianbodin]

Musique et extraits supers

[upcycle]

Buster Keaton's "College" (1927) has some great stunts too. Interestingly there is one scene when buster Keaton is doing a lean which reminds me of the lean that Michael Jackson is known for in Smooth Criminal. I think MJ may have been inspired by Buster Keaton from the Film College.

[drjekyllsisterhyde]

I must watch this weekly. It's not in ANY WAY stupid.

[stonebridge70]

Incredibly stupid montage, running from gag to gag to gag to gag. You get not time to take it in. Next time just upload one complete film.

[weepingprophet]

@stonebridge70 "running from gag to gag to gag to gag" The point was to give people a taste, and I guess it worked. I didn't expect the video to get over 200 thousand hits and be the first Keaton video to turn up in any search, but that's what happened.

[lonemapper]

@weepingprophet I think it's great

[flavioflax]

@stonebridge70

I think the video is just great as it is. It doesn't want to be more than it is, so maybe its not worth it criticize like that. Oh yes, and "stupid" means something else. All the best.

[ilovezette]

his name was mentioned in the book "seabiscuit" so i looked him up. thanks for posting.

[ahddubsbos]

This=win.

[dabearcub]

I usually don't dig these kind of pairings, but hell - you've got two of the all time greats going here. Well done sir!

[anExtreme1]

the general! :D

[superdavid002]

I mention Keaton in The Celebrity Song.

[virgofemme5]

Awesome! Kick ass song with Buster Keaton clips. Could this get any better? I don't think so. 5 STARS!!

[mills211]

This is awesome. :)

[busterbaxterkeaton]

We named our rbbit after buster keaton as my mum used to watch him when she was younger

[Galactic123]

goddamn 1:09 grabbing on to a moving car like that is absolutely insane!

[yoyoyoeggsyo]

which movie is 0:39 from? just curious, it looks familiar

[weepingprophet]

Steamboat Bill, Jr.

[yoyoyoeggsyo]

@weepingprophet thanks!

[greysealhugger]

Buster Keaton was a genius.

[MissWorldx81]

Really cool. Perfect song.

[withoutidnow]

Excellent ! I liked it a lot....and the music suits great ! Thank you!

[rupturedtesticle]

Fantastic! Great post!

[TommyJaggers001]

Brilliant compilation

[hardstreetbambi]

such a hottie

[fluffydolly]

masterpiece.....great job!!!!

[jameyram]

VERY COOL!!! great music match...sounds better than the music they normally place with silent movies. His movie The Haunted House was interesting...last saw it on ceedtv

[vrikey]

This vid still rocks. Buster would have dug it, he definitely would.

[kjonesification]

Its so much more fun watching videos while having to pee really bad...

[savagecreampuff]

so great! huge fan of both pixies and buster, thanks for making this great montage :)

[tsipouropower]

very nice work!

[rastakefir]

1:15 awesome!

[boux69]

Wonderfully done! I have to watch this clip a couple of times a month.

[digitikitavi]

Very nice work! Love the pixies in the background. Synched perfectly. And what makes you think he wouldn't appreciate that, anyway?

[BigMig56]

whats the song?

[misterwhitefolkz]

cool clip-a vintage track would have greatly enhanced my viewing enjoyment,although,not a bad match to the modern music. How someone can waste time arguing over it,though,does leave one to ponder the average citizen's intelligence level.And big band kicks the shit outta jazz,cunt!

[almightyjass]

brilliant. you sure showed me. we all know big bands influence on the world is sooooo much bigger than jazz. silly little creature. haha

[almightyjass]

Your info says- I always get annoyed when I do a search on "Buster Keaton" and find nothing but clips set to contemporary music.

Idiot.

[weepingprophet]

I'm afraid the correct term is "hypocrite".

Thank you for playing. Better luck next time.

[almightyjass]

right... ok you are a hypocrite but saying that and then admitting to be a hypocrite makes you an idiot, but fine. really good job by the way, ruining something brilliant.

[weepingprophet]

I don't quite follow your logic, but that's okay. Fuck you in your stupid face you ugly cunt, and have a nice day.

[almightyjass]

thats fair enough then friend. i hope all that time in film school is worth it because of this. as you move from coffee shop from coffee shop, still tell yourself, your family and strangers what you can achieve. but dont. just go bald and wear pretentious hats. cunt. :)

[weepingprophet]

So you're not just a fly by night troll. You actually do a bit of research to customize your insults. Very impressive. I'll direct your comments to myself three years ago. I'm sure he'll be very insulted.

[almightyjass]

im sure not! and you are not just a youtube montage maker. you seem interested in what i am, jazz, film (though i am a theatre man), and most importantly derek and clive. yet here we have two people hating each other. good comeback, very passive yet dismissive. lacking something though. perhaps cunt from your previous successful reply. hmm..

[stuntcat666]

I'm in love with him!!  <3 <3 <3

[MarcoFriendino]

This is an excellent montage!!!!

Yes, i agree... there is something deep about buster keaton, something i can't define... i'm sad and happy at the same time, he's great. I really love him.

[ILZ31989]

I love watching this video of Buster. I literally fell in love with him. He's so amazing and unique...no one can be like him..nd one more thing this song is great..
