This Day in Buster… September 4, 1927

This happened 98 years ago today... Buster Keaton filmed the jaw-dropping house-front stunt for his final independent movie, Steamboat Bill, Jr.

Imagine this: the facade of a house weighing about two tons comes crashing down with the storm's fury—but Buster remains standing, framed exactly in an open attic window, spared by mere inches on all sides
Legend says his shoes were even nailed to the spot, and a nail marked his precise heel position—he had only two inches of leeway before disaster

Technical mastermind Fred “Gabe” Gabourie rigged the set: the facade was held by concealed ropes, and three crew members hidden on the roof cut them simultaneously at "Action!"—a mechanical marvel loaded with mortal stakes

Everyone on set was tense. Keaton later recalled, “Cameramen, electricians and extras prayed as we shot that scene—and I don’t mind saying I did a little praying myself.”

This wasn't the first time he'd done a falling-wall gag—he’d tested it in Back Stage (1919) and One Week (1920) on lighter, less dangerous sets—but this version was raw, real, and utterly perilous

Behind those fearless eyes was turbulence: he was wrestling with alcohol, a crumbling marriage, and just learned that his independent studio was being dissolved, ending his creative control
He later shrugged it off, saying, “I was mad at the time—or I never would have done it.”

The result? A legendary moment that’s been imitated countless times—from Jackie Chan to Project A Part II, TV spoofs, animated tributes, even Mickey’s Steamboat Willie was likely inspired by this gag

Interestingly, Steamboat Bill, Jr. wasn’t a box-office hit and marked the end of Keaton's independent era before his move to MGM
Yet decades later, in 2016, the film was preserved in the U.S. National Film Registry as culturally significant

Bonus: Paramount Theatre Centre Screening

Join us for a special screening of Steamboat Bill, Jr. on Friday, September 26, 2025, at 7:30 pm at the Paramount Theatre Centre—complete with live accompaniment by Clark Wilson on the historic Grand Page Organ. Witness the magic of silent cinema in person!
