    I went to the youtube page for this and was rewarded with some moron asking how it could be in color and was this real.

    I was mostly impressed with the visual effects early on, the motion shots through the window and out the rail car door were really something for 1903, and the transition during the fight scene from a live actor to a dummy was pretty good too.

    Shooting the camera supposedly freaked out the movie goers at the time.

Rules for submitting comments:

1. No profanity. I maintain the pretense that this is a family-friendly site.

2. Stay on topic. A bit of straying and off-hand commenting is okay, but hijacking the discussion is right out.

3. No ad hominem attacks. Attack the subject, not the other person on the thread and keep the discussion civil.

4. No spamming or commercial endorsements. These get deleted immediately.

Tip: Beware of putting hyperlinks in your comments–especially at the end. For some reason, Blogger interprets these as spam.

Note: Due to the recent spate of anonymous spamming, registration for comments is now required.
