Buster Keaton
I'm sure by now you've seen the amazing Honda commercial "Cog." I read (on the internets, so it must be true) that it required over 600 takes. It made me think of the amazing stuff Keaton used to pull off, often stunts they had just 1 shot to get right, since they involved something being utterly and hilariously destroyed. This clip gathers many of his best.

Wow. Some of those gags looked like they really hurt, particularly the one where he grabs onto the moving car. I don't know if it's true or not, but it seems like people were just tougher back then.
They were. And now I'll stop typing because the tips of my fingers hurt.
Ha ha. They worked some serious magic back in the day. Have you guys ever seen any of Jackie Chan's bloopers for his Keatonesque martial arts movies? Ow.
