As &#8220;the railrodder&#8221;, Keaton crosses Canada from east to west on a railway track speeder. True to Keaton&#8217;s genre, the film is full of sight gags as our protagonist putt-putts his way to British Columbia. Not a word is spoken throughout, and Keaton is as spry and ingenious at fetching laughs as he was in the old days of the silent slapsticks.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><center><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/xYmcN12M97o\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/center><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The video below, <em>Buster Keaton Rides Again<\/em> takes us behind the scenes as Keaton makes <em>The Railrodder<\/em>.
