* OnSetInjury:
** Creator/BusterKeaton grabs a water spout while walking on a moving boxcar train. The water unexpectedly flooded down on him much harder than anticipated, throwing him to the ground. The back of his neck slammed against a steel rail on the ground and caused him to black out. The pain was so intense that he had to stop shooting later that day and he had "blinding headaches" for weeks afterwards, but continued working, having a well-known high threshold for physical pain. It wasn't until 1935 that a doctor spotted a callus over a fracture in his top vertebra in an X-ray. The doctor informed Keaton that he had broken his neck during the accident nine years earlier and not realized it.
** While filming the climactic chase, the motorcycle Keaton was riding skidded and smashed into two cameras, knocking over Eddie Cline and throwing Keaton onto a nearby car.
