Speaking of that, was that really Jane Fonda in that thing in Barbarella?

I am glad that list included Buster Keaton. He literally risked his neck back in his day. The article cited the famous one of the front of a house falling, with him standing right where the door frame went over him, but he also did many others (one, hanging from the hands of a huge clock some stories above a busy street, is wonderful to watch; another had him sitting on the front of a moving train (the cattle guard) and somehow flipping up and out of the way, with his dangling feet, some obstruction on the track).

I think it's pretty cool when it comes to the crazy stunts Chan and (his hero) Keaton performed. I prefer actors of that caliber to primadonnas who agonize over every line and hold up productions due to their own pretentiousness.

I'm afraid you confused Keaton with Harold Lloyd. A great movie though - and a great stunt.

Buster Keaton as great as any (or maybe he was the greatest):

I understand that the actors did all their own stunts in "My Dinner With Andre."
