Fun facts:
In addition to being one of Keaton's most complicated films for special optical effects and in-camera tricks, it also has one of Keaton's most famous on-set accidents. In a scene where Keaton grabs a water spout while walking on a moving boxcar train, the water unexpectedly flooded down on Keaton much harder than anticipated, throwing him to the ground. The back of Keaton's neck slammed against a steel rail on the ground, breaking it, and causing him to black out.
