Keaton's genius gets props, 86 years later

After reading a very interesting Wired magazine story on Buster Keaton's ground-breaking stunts and special effects, I went online in search of the 1924 movie in question. Outside of the clip with the Wired story, I never found a legal version of the movie. I did stumble across the video above, however, which delivers a summary of Keaton's crazy genius in matching stunts and choreography. 

He was the Jackie Chan of his day, and while I knew his name, I have never seen his work. Shame on me.

I always thought The Three Stooges deserved major props for their masterful choreography. Add Keaton to that list.
