The train crash in Buster Keaton’s The General (1926) wasn’t just an insane stunt - it was the most expensive shot of the silent film era A real steam locomotive was used and intentionally crashed on a burning bridge into a river below. The scene cost an estimated $42,000 at the time (equivalent to around $600,000 in today’s dollars). The production also built the bridge specifically for the crash, which was destroyed in the process. Credit - cineatomy Follow (us) @scigeniushub to know how thing
