    I believe Charlie Chaplin did similar stunts back in the day

    The end results are badass though. Totally looks like they are dangling in peril

    Edit: Harold Lloyd and Buster Keaton. Not Charlie Chaplin

      I don’t think Chaplin was known for that kind of stunts, but Buster Keaton was. Like the classic clip where the front of a house collapses on him and he’s standing right where the window falls.

        Buster Keaton did a lot of this kind of thing with perspective and stuff, but he was also a badass who did some incredible stunts.

          That was a matte painting, there was no actual stunt there, just camera tricks.

          That same video has a clip of Buster Keaton riding a motorcycle over a collapsing bridge. The part with the trucks was camera tricks. The part with the bridge falling was a real stunt.
