Buster Keaton’s Seven Chances contains perhaps the most spectacular chase in silent comedy. What begins as a situational farce explodes into a surreal, kinetic climax as hundreds of brides—and an avalanche of boulders—pursue the hero. It exemplifies Keaton’s geometric precision and his ability to escalate a gag to epic proportions. The rock slide sequence, improvised on set, showcases his fearlessness and physical genius. It remains a masterclass in pacing and stunt work, proving that physical comedy could be as thrilling and dangerous as an action movie.
