Buster Keaton - College [1927 - Sports] 

He was not only a genius, but his athleticism was unbelievable... countless scenes where he risks his life and yet retains that stoic expression. There will never be another like him. May God bless this man.

So funny how he portrayed himself as a puny weakling, but you can't hide that physique. What a talent.

That was a lot of fun. Keaton was really in great shape!

another master-class...composition, acting, creativity, innovation, camera-technique...you name it.

As an ambitious athlete I wish there would be more such films combining sports and comedy. BK had many great talents.

Buster was amazing

His stunts still rival anyone in the business

Buster Keaton was one of the very best of any time..

Keaton looked a lot more fit and muscular than the guys who were supposed to be the better athletes in this movie!

I think he was a gorgeous man. His eyes, his face, and his physique.😙

I'm actually so thrilled he won the race

While filming "The General", Keaton and the crew would play baseball with the locals each Sunday. Buster was apparently an excellent player, and some observers thought he was good enough to play in the pro leagues.

No one was ever better.

I love BK so much. He was more than anyone else.

Mr. Keaton is just too hilarious!👌😁😂😂👏

Buster would have been around 30 when he played a college freshman in this movie in 1927. He was so youthful and vibrant throughout the silent movie era, regardless of his actual age, and only seemed to age once the era of talking pictures started and he also developed a drinking problem.

One of the very few men who exude otherworld child like sadness and twinning that with curiosity, a problem solver, an innovator and adorable to extremes. Those eyes, that hair, that face. Even the way he wears a sports vest is cutesy. He's made for walking in the rain with a brolly that has holes in it, and tea parties with soft toys. He reminds me of BB8 from Star Wars. Just huggable. Can you tell I have an ever lasting crush on him!

In his prime, Keaton had an incredible physique: lean and muscular.

The last section is worth the wait. Brilliant madness. Keaton was a god.

This was actually filmed in the L.A. COLISEUM while it was being built for the 1932 Olympic games! It was finished in 1928.

Most of these athletes were probably on the U.S.C. track team. The campus is right next to the stadium, and it became their football field after the Olympics..

beautiful buster keaton thank you brazil

That clutch at the end was gold comedy

Javelin throw was the best😆

What a wonderful time in America

This is how I was trying to do track and field too... when I was younger.

cool to see all the old techniques!

mega artist !!!

the phenomenal solution 17:40 is just fantastic

SIMPLEMENTE EL MEJOR UN MAESTRO!!!!👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

the hammer throw is brilliant !.. ..El lanzamiento de martillo es simplemente ..genial !

It's a shame that he had to act like he couldn't actually do those events. I'm sure he was probably capable of excelling at most of them.

Great shots of the just completed LA Memorial Coliseum, where five years later, the 1932 Summer Olympics would be held.

I was 12 years old when this episode aired. Interesting how the issues discussed here are the same as today.

Timeless comedy

how was this guy not in a wheelchair on morphine when he was older is a miracle

Love his spirit

Some of that stuff must’ve really hurt like hell 😣

Nice Buster Keaton, very interesting film!👏👏👏🙂🙃🙂

A Master at work.. R.I.P.

the l.a. coliseum in it's early days, buster would also shoot there in 1923 for the football scenes in "three ages", right after the stadium was built. ann cornwall plays buster's love interest.

Excellent!

Que genio éste tipo!

Buster , master of comedy .

I wish the whole film was here, instead of just these clips. The end sequence is so good in the full film.

Moral of the story he was good in giving directions.

I hate how relatable so much of this is.

How the hell did he do the water stunt at the end? He was just incredible 😂☺️❤️❤️❤️❤️👏👏👏👏

This must've been a blast to make

Black and white Jackie Chan 👌👌

Éstas imágenes son un tesoro

Super film😁😁😁

super!

I remember participating in such games.. all those who had girlfriends wanted 1 day vacation so they put my name ( extremely single back then) in the games.. in events I never knew the rules ... I tried to through ball... 1 through was cancelled because of wrong technique rest were outside of the line... interesting part was nobody bothered... similar experience like this clip

Oye Google! Why such a long 18 sec ad? You've become so greedy.

Amazing to see what the real colleges lookee like.

J adore ce mec

Though he fails but teaches great leeson Start small Dont give up Go big Go Boom...

Amazing but sad because nobody who is performing it will be living

10:02 - 10:03 poor boy if that ever happened to my baby brother I'd be in tears

morale, ognuno di noi ha un proprio ruolo nella vita. basta individuarlo ed i risultati arrivano! Moral: everyone of us has got his own role in life. Just find it and the goods results will come!

Lol Buster Keaton in the olympics

The ladies are too revealing someone cover them up... oh wait, they came for Buster Keaton. Carry on, ladies.

Is this music the original soundtrack?

Keaton, Chaplin 👍

My pops had this on those brown strip video projectors when I was a kid wow yo pop I'm watching this on my cell phone

Buster and chaplin were very funny in silent movies. When audio became available in the movie picture indutry, I feel both their personalities changed and I didn't like their voices it didn't match and the normal speed of frame rate changed everything. This however, on contrast was the best thing to happen to laurel and hardy because their personalities were finally presented better and they became loved even where the higher speed filming slowed to normal speed. Laurel and Hardy were meant to be movie picture stars from the silent era whereas Chaplin and buster were better at these times.

no homo but buster keaton was very handsome

Was this filmed at UCLA?

Now I see Football Club Spartak Moscow has stolen their emblem from Buster's sleeveless shirt

It's funny to watch how people used to high jump.

Ele era magrinho, mas era todo malhado, os músculos definidos....

BK was a devout true Catholic!

Looks like from his build he'd have been a great middle distance runner.

Alguien tiene la película completa?

yes neoenty the end

😂😂😂😂😂😂Era um genio

I wonder how much he had to practice each stunt?

Посмотрел сделал вывод за последние 100 лет ничего не изменилось хотя поменялось 2. Ва. Поколения
