Fascinating facts
Sherlock Junior’s director and star Buster Keaton was famous for always performing his own (incredibly dangerous) stunts in his movies. While making this film, he was knocked unconscious and thrown from a tower onto railway tracks below by a jet of water – it wasn’t until more than 10 years later that Keaton discovered the terrible headaches he had suffered with in the days that followed were actually symptoms of a fractured neck!
