Trivia: In one scene at a train station, Buster Keaton was hanging off of a tube connected to a water basin. The water poured out and washed him on to the track, fracturing his neck nearly to the point of breaking it. This footage appears in the released film. Keaton suffered from blinding migraines for years after making this movie and was unaware of the reason, until a doctor diagnosed him in the 1930s.
Goofs: Miscellaneous: As Buster falls asleep, the film begins unspooling onto the floor. When Buster wakes up, if nobody fixed it, there should be a large pile of film on the floor. And if someone fixed it, why didn’t they wake him up?
