No special effects….some of those stunts look seriously painful 😂

At Saturday family dinner, I would routinely go upstairs in my grandmother's room, lie and bed and watch this. I was probably eight or nine.

Used to watch these all the time at a friend’s house. Truly entertaining🥰

Oh, lovely and multi-talented Bebe! She was the bee's knees!

Thanks need to learn how to add this to Newport police vid.

I've come back to this video many times for the cyclo-rama! Great capture of history and how movies were made.

So a young woman need to be scared of allah and sultan since time immemorial

Much obliged!

Unreal that these were genuine stunts they were actually doing. They had to be serious athletes and acrobats. Even running in front of moving trains. Wow.

Wonderful short. Thank you for sharing.😂

He was so gross

I love silent movies better than literally anything released in the 2020s

I saw Steve's name and couldn't help but hear his voice while reading. Thank you!!

Henry Murdock 1891-1928 - his death certificate states he died by "Strangulation by piece of meat lodged in the larynx". One can assume that if he was eating with other persons present that no one knew how to dislodge an obstruction in the airway... a sad reflection of the era. He has a Find a Grave site, listed as "PVT. Henry G. Murdock".

Malcolm Sabiston 1923-2006

"Big Boy" was played by Malcolm Sabiston... 1923-2006...

I'm so in love with him ♡

1:05-1:07 reused gag from buster keaton 1920 film called one week.

Keystone Cops, still going strong...in the wrong direction in the Keystone State.

She reminds me of Madonna

Thank you Dave, for bringing laughter in our lives

This is why Cinema Gates Pictures bringing back new Silent Films in this time. 😊

thanks Dave

Ok I had to come look this up...i was reading an article about the death of Andrew Kissel and the police detectives working on the case said they were hurt because Andrews father referred to them as the "Keystone Kops" ..i had to come see...yeah that was definitely an insult 😂😭

Funny - I just watched this on the Library of Congress Vitagraph set.

Ford Sterling (Head Cop).........Mabel Norman........Roscoe Fatty Arbuckle

Harold Loyd was a real true comedian! Not like those 21 century so called comedians 🎉🎉

Marvin Loback playing a dumb, fat cop. Partnered Snub Pollard in Laurel & Hardy knock-offs [1926-29].

Amazing skill and still very funny !!!!!!!!!!😃😃😃

Thanks for your good work! A fair number of films Roscoe directed and wrote for Educational Pictures are turning up on CZcams. My favorites are those starring the very funny Lloyd Hamilton, definitely the inspiration for Jackie Gleason's subsequent "The Poor Soul" character.

Thanks for posting, Dave. There's a bit of "nudge nudge wink wink" to Ford Sterling's over-the-top villainy.that I find very amusing.

I'm right now working on a script for a professional fan film TV movie for CZcams-The Keystone Kops-The Movie. A three hour comedy bonanza.

Was he advertising this when he blew his finger off?

Received my copy the other day and got through the first disc so far. Highly enjoyable. The treasure trove of familiar faces at the beginning of the disc was a true treat as was getting a genuine Arbuckle Comique short I’ve never seen. The LKO stuff was truly surreal in parts. When we’re getting into official starring vehicles, it’s fascinating watching him develop and I look forward to where he’ll go on disc two. Some of the cartoonish hunting gags feel like silent comedy comfort food - I swear this stuff turned up in Stooge shorts. That fragment of Monty shaving on his bike while going to work was a riot. Again, really looking forward to disc two and thank you Dave for all your hard work. It’s much appreciated. - Doug Sarnecky

Fantastic! With apologies to canine comedienne Cameo, I personally am partial to Pepper the cat, who co-starred with Madcap Mabel Normand in the Keystone comedy A LITTLE HERO.

Great work. Thank you

This video and the old footage are totally priceless! What I'd give to go back in time, and watch all these old movies...when comedy really was funny! Thank You for your work, the finished product shines.

Its a funny thing, we dont tend to think of it, but the legacy of Keystone cops continued on with the bumbling cop genre. From Professor Cluso in the Pink Panther series, to Naked Gun, Police Academy, and even one must consider cop films like Bad Boys, Ride Along, that are indeed less direct slap-stick but stick in part comedic in nature.

If I had to guess, I'd say they used different takes mostly when it was only practical to film with one camera due to angles or confined spaces such as in the van. It also would reduce the amount of times the same negative would have to be used for reprints

Magic. Most grateful. Regards from an 88 year old Englishman, April, 2024.

Grandiosa comedia! Harold tan guapo y gracioso ♡

I remember watching the show with my younger brother when it was aired in the late 70's on our national TV. It sure brings back memories 😊
