A steamboat captain receives a telegram informing him that his son who he has not seen for many years will be coming to visit. Eagerly expecting a strapping young lad who will help him compete with his arch-rival, he is disappointed with the effete progeny that instead shows up. Best remembered for its climactic cyclone sequence in which Keaton performs a number of death-defying stunts whilst an entire town is destroyed around him, Steamboat Bill, Jr. was Buster Keaton’s last independent silent comedy and also one of his finest.

Buster Keaton is absolutely incredible to me because what that guy does on the screen is truly unbelievable. His stunt tricks are basically impossible to perform today because no one would dare to do it properly. That's what gets me. The building collapse where he only survives because of an open window may be repetitive, but it never gets old. I'm quite curious if any comedian today would dare to attempt it.
