Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The final chase was shot at Coney Island's Luna Park with no permits—Lloyd just crashed through. Several 'extras' were genuinely terrified civilians.
This was Harold Lloyd's last silent film before talkies took over, and his only Oscar nomination—for 'Best Picture, Unique and Artistic Production,' a category that died immediately after.
