Seven Chances

The most famous scene of this film originated by accident. In the filming of a chase scene down a steep slope, Buster Keaton inadvertently dislodged some rocks which tumbled after him as if in pursuit, and he had to scramble to dodge them. At a preview showing, Keaton saw that that accident got the biggest laughs in the film. Thus inspired, he decided to reshoot the scene with over 100 papier-mâché "rocks", ranging from pebbles to six-foot boulders, so his character would have to deal with a massive avalanche in the scene.

Just as the horde of would-be brides overruns the college football game, one of the players can be seen throwing himself to the ground, already pretending to be trampled.
