And a thread with various cars accidents in silent films: http://www.nitrateville.com/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=12134
One pair describes the film I mentioned earlier: > ³One of the earliest British trick films (EXTRAORDINARY CAB ACCIDENT, 1903) > concerns an auto. A car drives into the picture and stops, and after a moment > suddenly explodes. Pieces of machinery and body parts fall from the top of the > frame and a policeman walks over and begins in a laconic manner to make an > inventory in his notebook.² ³I have a copy of that short, though I believe my copy is titled AN AUTOMOBILE EXPLOSION. It's nice to see a Pythonesque sight gag near the start of filmdom, as well as the patented British art of Understatement at it's best...well done.² No re-assembly in this though; that must be something else.
