Brilliant!, 1 October 2009
Author: JoeytheBrit from www.moviemoviesite.com

How cool is this movie? Made by the legendary silent producer Mack Sennett, this manic little movie, in which Billy Bevan, Sid Smith and Jack Lloyd are involved in a hair-raising 250-mile car race, epitomises everything that was so brilliant about silent comedy. The frantic pace never lets up for one second, and some of the stunt work is absolutely mind-blowing. At the start of the film, one car reverses into the starter's high platform and then carries it with it as the driver finds first gear. Racing around mud roads at breakneck speeds, we see the two men atop the platform leap onto a railway track as the car drives beneath a bridge, then immediately leap over the side to hang from the edge as a locomotive roars past them. Imagine the split-second timing and the bravery (or stupidity) required to pull off a stunt like that without anyone losing their life. The film is full of crazy stunts like this and climaxes with a multiple pile-up as all the competing cars race off the end of a ski-slope platform to crash down to earth on top of each other. Be sure to catch this one – it's a gem.
